Benalmadena Aguila apartment wonderful views

Host was very friendly and helpful, the apartment was very clean and well equipped. The location was near local amenities and good transportation links. With sea views and view over Benalmadena, it has a balcony with great views and sunny in the afternoon. Would recommend

The property was as advertised

Ideal size for 2 people and location was good

The swimming pool was closed and we had to share the other pool with the 2 other apartment blocks which was crammed packed

Property is clean , quite modern , everything you’d need for a stay & the host always available via WhatsApp should you need anything/ or queries & the night concierge staff always letting on when coming in..infact one of them recommended a pizza takeaway generally used by locals

Nothing really - everything was spot on . As it’s quite hilly (something I already knew about ) & you struggle with walking I’d hire a mobility scooter if booking

Great location. 15 minute walk from benalmadena train station. Very clean apartment, great facilities for self catering. Fab powerful shower. Mini safe, iron, ironing board, washing machine. 5th floor with sun on balcony late afternoon. Great communication from owner. Very kindly let me check in early. Even had shower gel, hand-wash, washing up liquid etc.

The pool wasn't open. Not the owner's fault as it is seasonal and I went in February.

Host provided clear instructions via message to collect keys from a reception desk, however as this is a private apartment building block, this was a concierge for residents rather than a reception/check in desk therefore they knew little of our stay and language barrier was an issue for us as we do not speak spanish. Apartment was good and clean and lovely views only down side was afternoon sun for a few hours and can be very windy (5th floor) Supermarkets, shops, bars and restaurants only a few mins away in Bonanza Square Plaza and surrounding area. The best breakfast and hospitality at Katie McGanns Irish Bar and plenty of choice options for takeaway food all cuisines catered for in other local eateries A local bus stop nearly by to Beach/Marina and Torremolinos/Malaga/Fuengirola and taxi stance nearby or walk down to seafront area quite hilly so would advise taxi back up for around 6 to 8 euros.

Lifts to apartments are on a lower level from reception area accessible by a few steps or a wheelchair lift down instead of the steps - this was fine but could only be operated from the outside and not by the wheelchair user - could not determine if this was a fault as no assistance/guidance on using this due to the language barrier. As a wheelchair user this meant I could not go in or out on my own. Whilst a good location and apartment building access having a ramp for a wheelchair or mobility scooter user the street area was poorly lit and very precarious pavements and slim pathways with obstacles such as trees and bollards to navigate through, also lots of roadworks in progress but much needed to the area when complete. Shop around for best deals in local supermarkets - some smaller ones overpriced for items such as can of fizzy drinks etc costing as much as the bars!!

The apartment was clean and well equipped. Good location. Communication with the owners was easy. Everything was fine with the apartment.

The neighborhood was really noisy. A big road is being built nearby every day. The grass around the pool is mowed every morning from 8 am. So it was impossible to have breakfast on the terrace. in the afternoon, the pool area and the garden were kept clean with a motorized leaf blower. And some of my neighbors were very drunk and noisy in the middle of the night.
