First Flatotel International Benalmádena, Benalmádena

I had an incredible stay at this hotel. The room we had, a suite on the top floor, was huge, clean, and simply amazing. Definitely the best room I've ever stayed in. The service was top-notch, especially at the pool where the kids had a blast with the activities. The location was lovely, just a bit outside the Marina but with pristine sun loungers and a great sea view. The dining experience could have been better for the price paid, but it did the job. Overall, a fantastic experience with a couple of minor downsides.

The hotel offers spacious rooms that are clean and tidy, though some maintenance issues like damaged doors were present. The location, a bit out of town, is easily accessible by taxi or bus, with an affordable bus service conveniently located across the road. The service was a mix of friendly and miserable experiences, but overall decent. The isolated location provides shade and a pool bar for relaxation, making it ideal for those looking to avoid the busy center. The dining experience had its ups and downs but was overall satisfactory.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and had a comfy bed with an amazing view. The modern decor and large shower stall with a rainforest shower head were lovely touches. The location was convenient with an affordable bus across the road. However, it was a bit out from pubs and restaurants, making it challenging to find a place to sunbathe. The service was exceptional with very helpful and friendly staff. The dining experience was fine, although a bit pricey at the poolside bar. The facilities were top-notch, especially the homemade cakes.

The hotel offers a mix of experiences, from a fantastic top floor suite to rooms with noise disturbances. The location is excellent for golfers, but may require transportation to main towns. Dining options provide variety but can be a bit chaotic. Staff are reasonably friendly but not exceptional in service quality.
