We have been to Benalmadena several times and this is the first time we have stayed at Las Arenas but it certainly wont be the last. The hotel is excellent in all respects across from the beach. Staff were immaculately dressed and helpful. The breakfast buffet had everything you could wish for from fresh fruit, cheeses and cold meats, bacon... more

After previous disasters of booking holidays and reading the reviews afterwards, I decided to do my research first this time, and the hotel definitely lives up to its reputation.

Imagine... more

One of the best hotels we have stayed in for cleanliness and food quality/choice. Buffet service in restaurant. Reception/restaurant staff very helpful and friendly however the bar staff were hard work. one thing to remember when you book is insist on room that doesn't end in 1 as some of them have no balcony and this spoilt the first half... more

Excellent location just across... more
