Benalmadena Lomas de Mena

The overall experience of the place is somewhat positive, even though there are many things, that can be improved. The host was kind enough to let us know, that we had forgotten some clothes in the closet, so we could arrange for a pickup later.

The communication with the host through WhatsApp is not optimal, and we experienced several times, where she answered us the next day! Also, the level of information you get from the host is very subpar, and you have to figure out a lot of things yourself. The apartment is worn out, and the host has made a list of things you shouldn’t do, instead of fixing the problems in the apartment. There was a very bad odor in the apartment upon our arrival, which fortunately disappeared after 24 hours, where windows were open. The air conditioning is an issue, as you have to empty a small bucket that collects water from the air conditioner several times a day. If you don’t do it regularly on a daily basis, then the excess water passes on to the neighbor bellow through a hole in the balcony, and the neighbor came up and knocked on our door a couple of times during our stay because of this issue. The pool is nice, but there are no shading around it, and no lounge chairs to sit on.

Very nice location, beautiful view of the sea. Everything is very close, including shops, the beach and the bus station. The apartment was clean and very nice. Pilar was very kind and since I arrived earlier alone, she let me come earlier. It was very nice, I hope we will come again.

Perfect location. Incredible terrace with seaview. Great big kitchen with all thinkable appliances. Two separate bedrooms with indivual bathrooms. TV with all the channels and Airconditioning

Beds and pillows old and lumpy. Too few towels for shower in The appartement

All in all I liked the apartment, it had fantastic views, lovely big terrace, with table and 4 chairs. Lovely in the morning for breakfast. Apartment is behind the big supermarket, beach road for main buses, beach etc. Although the nearest beach was being dug up with heavy machinery while there. Pool area was great,had it to ourselves most days. The complex was very clean and lots of gardeners attending the plants. A locked gate made you feel safer, and from the gate entrance it is a 10/15 min walk down to main area at centre of resort with lots of nice restaurants, Malbec Wine club was great, small so book. A short walk from here was Las Arenas Hotel which had a great Sky Bar, views from here where amazing.

Just a few niggles, would have been great to have sunbeds or pool furniture, there was 1 old worn deck chair for apartment that slept 4, there was a lack of information, we didn't know where to put rubbish and hot water was switched off. Luckily we had read in a previous reviews there was a shortcut by the car park down to shops. It still involved a hill and stairs so maybe not good if you have bad mobility or no car.

Very nice sea view from the balcony. Perfect location, nice beach.

Perfect location and amazing view
