Fantastic Hotel

Advantages: Fantastic Food
Disadvantages: Lifts are quite small

...to the four star Hotel Las Arenas as it was recommended by friends. It is slightly further out just opposite the Castle Bill Bill and when you cross the road it’s a flat walk all the way to the marina which is away from the large hills on which many of the other hotels are located. Reception On arrival check in was swift and at this time we opted to pay for a safety deposit box we were then handed the safe key and card key to room 524 and pointed ...
...it was laid out with tables and chairs and also had a grand piano, a small bar ,toilets and computers with internet access. There is a large board telling you about entertainment available during the day and at night. The whole area was laid out for wheelchair access and the ramps came in handy for the able bodied who had luggage it was certainly the most disabled friendly hotel I had ever stayed in. There were three lifts that serviced the six floors ...

Review of Holiday Village Benalmadena, Costa Del Sol

Holiday Village-Benalmadena, Costa Del Sol

Advantages: Good for Children
Disadvantages: Too far from resorts

Holiday Village,Benalmadena-Costa del sol, stayed 2 weeks from 14 july 2007 Flight 2 and a half hours with First Choice was short and on time so really good as I hate flying!! Transfer From Malaga airport it takes about half an hour to transfer to the hotel, it is on the outskirts of Benalmadena. Check-in If you fill out the registration form on your transfer it is quick and easy. The staff were curtious and pleasant at all times. Hotel set ...
...a stroll into either, its too far from both ,catch a bus! The Living Room Well this was my first let-down, as before we went away we had heard there was building work going on at the back of the hotel and also at the beach club where most of the pools are located. Hearing this I called into to my First Choice shop to find out, they phoned head-quarters and asked and was told that there had been building work at the beach club but was now complete ...

Review of Holiday Village Benalmadena, Costa Del Sol

hotel sol principe is fit for a king.

Advantages: everything about the place is an advantage.
Disadvantages: the non smoking policy (for some)

...behind that is this wonderful hotel (Sol Principe). This hotel is situated alongside the beach of Playa mar approximately 2km outside the city of torremolinos. It is served by Malaga airport which is a little over 4 miles away and takes only a 15 minute transfer by coach to reach. On approach to this hotel the first thing that caught my eye was the size of the grounds it stood in but it soon became apparent why. This hotel is actually part of a ...
...course the pools. The hotel has 623 rooms over 10 floors; I was on the 9th floor with an outstanding sea view. The rooms themselves have a rather large living area which through an arch leads to a smaller sleeping area, just of the living area is a small space sectioned of as a kitchen which has a fridge and the usual very basic two rings, a grill and a microwave to cook with. As I was all inclusive thankfully I had no real use for the cooking facilities ...

Review of Hotel Sol Principe, Torremolinos, Costa del Sol

Not a suitable hotel for a winter break.

Advantages: Near train station, very clean rooms with aircon
Disadvantages: Uphill, awful food.

Stayed here two nights 16/17th Dec 06. Pleasant reception and staff. Decent sized, clean rooms with aircon. Food absolutely horrible. I'm not picky when it comes to food, but I really struggled to find something edible. My son, who lives in Spain and eats anything, was hard pushed to find something and landed up with salad. Free water or wine with dinner. TIP: leave your coat on your chair if you leave the table otherwise everything is cleared away ...
