...one-week holiday in Benalmadena in Costa Del Sol (June 2004) and would like to provide some information about Benalmadena Resort & Benalmadena Palace Apartments where we stayed.
****Benalmadena Palace Apartments****
Newly opened in February 2004, this Apart-Hotel has 4-Star rating.
The coach transfer from Malaga Airport to the Hotel was only about 30 minutes and that included a drop off a one other hotel first. Facilities include Outdoors Pool ... ...Table Tennis, Gym (Which was well equipped) Pool Table. Bar. Children’s play area, Mini-Golf (although there were only 5 holes!) Cyber café.
Some facilities were still being implemented, I don’t think the mini-golf was properly finished, and also Tennis Courts & 5-a-side football pitch were still under construction, I also heard they are opening Conference rooms as well, not that most holiday makers would be utilizing this facility.
The pools are ...

Advantages: Too many to list, see opinion! Disadvantages: Having to come home!
...a few opinions on the Costa del Sol, seeing as I had just booked to go on holiday there! One of the opinions was written by a British ex-pat who now lives in Marbella, and now, after my holiday, I can only say how jealous I am! Marbella is the only place in the world, with the exception of possibly Boston, USA, to which I could actually see myself emigrating (if I was the type of person to emigrate, which I don’t think I am, although after spending ... ...Marbella is on the Costa del Sol in Southern Spain. Marbella is the name of a district which encompasses several settlements, but also a the name town, and Marbella town is the destination where I have just been for a week’s holiday. The nearest airport is Malaga, and the flying time to Malaga from the UK is approximately 2 ½ hours. Marbella is then less than an hour’s drive away – around 45 minutes when the traffic is not bad.
The weather in Marbella ...

Advantages: cheap,cheerful,cheap food& drink & loadsa SUN!!! Disadvantages: Not as much Culture as Barcelona and Madrid
The Costa Del Sol has been a popular resort for Brits for many years.
It is only 2.5 hrs from Gatwick airport and has all modern amenities us Brits require to make our holiday and blazing sun to go with this during the summer months! Flights to Malaga are reasonably cheap and all the High street Travel Agents offer last minute package deals at very good rates.
The Cost Del sol has so much to do no matter how old you are.

Advantages: Unspoiled with an authentic Spanish feel Disadvantages: Some of the apartments are situated up steep hills
...to anyone who wants a Costa holiday with much more charm than some of the brasher resorts. The locals say that Nerja is truly magical and draws people back there year after year. I can only speak from experience and that is certainly what has happened to me. ...

Advantages: Sunshine Disadvantages: Feels like England
...the chance! Club La Costa was offering a week at California Beach, near Finguerola for only 29 pounds plus airfare to Malaga. We knew that it was early in the season but figured we would take the chance and beat the crowds.
Club La Costa is a large development about 30 mins from Malaga airport. You can take a Tiny Train between the Two main parts of the resort: Marina del Sol and California Beach (or as we learned, smile sweetly at any of the porters ... ...for!
Since Club La Costa is across the road from the ocean, we decided to take a walk to the beach. Which did not exist. The Beach, I mean. Well there was a tiny strip of sand with the cars whooshing by overhead. So we walked into Finguerola. About 2 km's but it was very hot by then and not paved all the way, so you have to crawl over broken pavement and building rubble. However, we did walk past the Castle and found our way to Constitution Square ...
