“Modern welcoming facility well located.”

Recently returned from a relaxing break at Las Arenas in Costa del Sols Benalmadena. Arriving late at reception on a Saturday night, upon check in we were immediately offered food at the dining room consisting mainly of salad cold meats etc much welcomed after a days travel. We booked half board for one week. I would have no hesitation returning to Las Arenas were all of the staff contributed to ensuring a pleasant experience for the guests. Breakfast is excellent with a range of hot & cold buffet style fare to suit all palates. The evening meal I found repetitive with less emphasis on quality and cheaper meat cuts! However this is optional. Evening entertainment varied but was generally of a decent standard. The 5:00 - 6.00pm happy hour at the bar was an excellent opportunity to get the evening going. (all drinks buy 1 get 1.) All in all Las Arenas is a very comfortable hotel with excellent staff welcoming all patrons. I would recommend the hotel and will certainly return. Location is excellent with the beach directly across the road and good transport links to visit the many attractions the area has to offer

“Relaxing Week”

We have had several holidays at Las Arenas, it never disappoints as the hotel is spotless with friendly and efficient staff, the food is always good with several choices for breakfast and evening meal, with help from Eva on reception we upgraded from a side sea view to a top floor room with massive balcony with sun beds and outside shower, it was fantastic. We will be booking again for next October. Thank You Las Arenas.

“Room 615”

We have just returned from a 7 night stay at Las Arenas and have to say it is probably one of best hotels we have visited in recent years, the hotel is spotless, staff are very efficient and always friendly and approachable, the food is very good always something to satisfy a variety tastes. The only issue we had was with noise on the first night we had an issue with the couple in the neighbouring room talking loudly until 2:30am on the second night I called reception at 1:30am and they immediately sent security to the room to ask them to keep it down. The other issue was a more serious issue which needs to be addressed by the hotel, we were in room 615 which is directly below the rooftop bar the bar itself is not the problem, but the steps leading up to the bar they are anchored directly on top of the ceiling area of the room and the constant pounding of groups of quests going up and down the steps is ridiculous, the toilets to the bar are on the lower level so the steps are used quite often, the steps are wooden so when high heels or larger guests use them it is even louder, yes we could be asked to be moved, but in our experience when a hotel is really busy you have to wait until another room becomes available so you are left waiting to repack and unpack again so we just tolerated it, the hotel really needs to look at this problem and try dampening the noise from the steps or sound proofing the ceilings below the bar, we would recommend and return to this hotel, but would not recommend staying on the 6th floor especially room 615

“Beautiful hotel”

This is such a brilliant hotel! We had read lots of positive reviews before our holiday so we had high expectations and we definitely weren't disappointed. The hotel is right by the sea (separated by a main road with a crossing nearby) with beautiful views from the pool and outside bar seating area. There are plenty of shops/restaurants nearby and it was around 20-30 minutes to walk to the marina. We stayed in a side sea view room which was modern, clean and had plenty of storage. The balcony felt private as there was a divide between each one, although this meant that we could only see the sea when standing at the edge of the balcony so if we stayed again we would book a room with either a full sea view or pool view. The pool area was relaxing during the day - there was music playing and a bar for drinks/snacks. The pool area didn't open until 9am which meant there was no early morning 'reserving' of sunbeds and there were plenty available throughout our whole stay. The pool was quite cold so it was often quiet - we only went for a quick dip a couple of times and our baby did not get in the water because of the temperature. In the evening, the main bar was lively as there was a happy hour with 2 for 1 drinks which was great. Drinks were reasonably priced and the cocktails were really good. The food in the restaurant was varied and good quality, both for breakfast and dinner. The hotel also has a sky bar which is open on an evening. This offered beautiful views and a quiet relaxing place for a drink. The main highlight of the hotel is the staff - they were all fantastic! We stayed as a family with a baby and the staff in the restaurant and bar area were brilliant with her. We sat at the same table each day as there was room for us to have our pram without getting in anyone's way, and the staff had it ready for us with a highchair and place setting for our baby. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the hotel!
