Pierre & Vacances Benalmadena Principe

Really happy with our accommodation, we did have to pay 50 euros for a pool view but had been warned about this by other reviewers so wasn't a problem. Our room was large, clean and well equipped(dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, microwave) Reception staff were professional, polite and friendly. Cleaner came in on 5th day of our stay and was lovely and efficient without intruding. Pool was lovely but be warned it's COLD! Plenty of sunbeds and not over crowded. Found pool bar to be a little disappointing, better food and drinks just down the road(better service too!) Wasn't too sure about having to take our own rubbish out(otherwise you get charged) but it was literally just a few mins walk to bins, so not a problem. Already looking to go back again soon. Make sure you visit Bio Parc while your there....fantastic place. Plenty of good local restaurants particularly La Tarezza(just by Macdonalds) and Quebracho Gaurogoucho (5 mins from apartments)

Nice reception area but arrived at 1.15pm and reception closed until 1.30pm. Didn’t like being told that rooms wouldn’t be ready until 5pm but if I wanted to pay 50 euros I could have one right away with a seaview. We paid the money as we were up from 4am that morning, the room we got was lovely and great balcony only down side the beds were too hard for us and we had to take out the rubbish to bins across the road. Overall the apartment was spacious and clean and very good location.

The facilities of this aparthotel are fantastic. We went self catering and we had a washing machine, iron, dishwasher and a little kit was supplied for cleaning too. The locarion is great. A quick 10 min walk to the beach. Shops and supermarket just around the corner too. We’d stay there again. Tips - ask for a low floor if you have a young child - it REALLY helped us. Cons- dont expect any pool ambiance. There’s none, bot wven music from the side bar. The side bar closes early and there is no evening entertainment. We were told the day before check-out that the expectarion was for the apartment to “be cleaned” or we’d be chRhed a €30 fee. Whilst we left the apartment clean and tidy, it’s not a nice feeling to be told that when we have NEVER had that in other self catering accommodation. Also, the pool Is seriously cold, but once you’re in, it’s fine. Not sure we’d go back unless it’s HOT HOT. All in all, great for a 3 star. Clean, comfortable, quiet and in a great locarion.

Loved this apartment - had everything we needed. Very modern &. Plent of room for 3 adults & a child. No problem getting a sun bed & although it was busy at the pool it was also very quiet. Our grandson loved the pool albeit he was not allowed to have any large toys in it. We would definately stay here again. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance & very near the beach. The town was up a steep hill so not for the faint hearted.

Had a great 10 days at these apartments with extended family and 2 year old grandson My daughter had the biggest balcony I have ever seen more like a outside terrace. Apartments were well equipped with 4 ring hob washing machine and dryer and dishwasher... dishwasher tablets provided. mirrored wardrobes provided lots of storage our furniture was scratched in a couple of places but overall accommodation and space was very good ,. the reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. I particularly liked the pool safety It has a glass perimeter gated barrier and non slip material base in both adult and baby pool and life guard on duty from approx 12 noon. minor gripe would be that they need more parasols for the sun loungers . negative point was the main road and side streets are busy with traffic and buses so we could not let our grandson out the buggy until at the beach or park

Third time we have stayed in this hotel highly recommended self catering facilities are brilliant , supermarket very close and local restaurants are very reasonably priced , hotel close to the beach ..
