We had a seaview room in 6th floor and room was very nice and view beautiful. Good beds and good aircon. There was also a fridge. Cleaners did a good job and cleaned the room daily. Location was super good. Beach was just there and lots of restaurants close by. We had breakfast and it was ok, nothing special.

Very big hotel with quite small pool area. We actually saw people running to reserve chairs when they opened the doors. Very expensive but I guess everything is in July. Check-in lady was nice and efficient but other than that nobody ever said hello in reception or breakfast room.... Poolbar service super slow.

Location was fantastic, the breakfast was excellent and the hotel was spotless. The staff were so friendly and helpful.

The sunbeds were not adjustable and were uncomfortable so we went to the beach every day. The rooms were noisey, conversations and TV in other rooms could be heard at any hour of the day or night.

The medplaya hotel alba beach is perfectly situated, it is just over the road from the beach and very close to lots of restaurants and cafes and supermarkets, with a bus stop just beside it and a taxi rank only a few meters away. The staff are very friendly and work so hard keeping the hotel lovely and clean and the food was amazing. We stayed half board and the choice was exceptional, always plenty of fresh fruit, hot and cold choices and lovely deserts, quite amazing really.

There was nothing not to like

It was close to seafront restaurants bars.

Coming out the main front door the bins were situated right beside hotel that smelt really bad,, we also saw a rat beside them. I think they should remove bins from the front and maybe put them in carpark out of sight. Not a good first impression

Great hotel virtually on the beach, bars restaurants all within walking distance. Staff were very friendly and polite. Food was good with plenty of choices both at breakfast and lunch or evening. The half board option you could have lunch or the evening meal giving you the option to plan your day better. Room was spotlessly clean, shower great. Room cleaned everyday if you wished. Good entertainment by the pool at night. Will definitely be going back again. The fantastic marina a good 20 min walk along the beach or jump a reasonably priced taxi , taxi rank 2 mins from hotel..

Nothing

View pool rooms excellent Staff willing and friendly. Went out of their way to help. Breakfast nothing wrong but not enough changes, same every day. Such as the pastries always the same, no Spanish eggs etc. omelettes. Coffee machines excellent. Dinner value for money but would like to have had more Spainish food.

booking of pool beds. Not Hotels fault just very annoying when towels are left and there is not there until later.

We had a great time at the hotel it is very clean All the staff are very helpful and friendly especially the girls at the bar and the staff in the restaurant they all helped us try out our Spanish and with their friendly chat helped to make our holiday special. The reception staff was very helpful too when my husband had he's wallet stolen on the train. This was our 2nd year coming to this hotel as a party of 5 and will be looking forward to next year

There is a good variety of food to choose from which we all enjoyed, It would have been nice to have a choice of continental meats at lunch.

The hotel is situated in a very good area of Benalmadena, sandy beach very close. Meals are very good, staff friendly. My advice is to serve meals outdoors, at least for people who don't want to fall ill.

Meals in the restaurant were very good. But too many people in the room, dangerous for diseases like viruses etc. In my room I could hear frequent noise, also during the night.

The buffet was good for a 3*, and everything was very tasty. The personal was very nice. the room and bathroom were very clean. The room was good, the bed in the standard room were small, but everything was clean.

The bathroom was very small, but clean. The view from the room were OK. The sound proofing could be improve as you can hear other guest showering or the noise in the street. The lift were really slow and small.
