5.0 star ratingVery friendly staff, comfortable & relaxing. The food is delicious & plentiful -excellent value for money. Hotel location is ideal, set away from traffic yet within reach of everything you would need. Pool area is very relaxing & accomodating. My only choice everytime I go to BenalmadenaI have nothing negative to say about the Balmoral.18 October 2008
5.0 star ratingOur second time there and can find no problems with the hotel. The staff are very friendly, cleaners very thorough; room serviced every day and food very good. We were given the room overlooking the pool and sea we requested. None09 November 2008
4.0 star ratingGood location, staff friendly and helpful.Very little variety in food. Food only warmish N EVER hot. Train station quite a long away up a steep hill. In your info on hotel was described as being behind the Marina. In fact Marina was a good half hour brisk walk away. Rather disappointing.21 December 2008
4.5 star ratingAlthough rated as a 2 star hotel, it has all the qualities of a 3 star hotel. Full or half board accomodation is a must while you stay -the food is delicious. Cleanliness is top notch. The staff are very welcoming & friendly -multi lingual in many cases. Reception will keep your suitcases safe if you have a late flight on the day of your departure, giving you freedom to go & enjoy the last of the sunshine b4 you depart for the airport --this is very helpful.All the rooms seem to be twin - no double beds. The bed mattresses are not orthopedic - and so, not that comfy.10 March 2009

4.5 star ratingfantastic room. lovely pool and good pool bar. excellent check in and check out service. we will definitely stay again next time we need another little break. food needs to be reviewed, not a lot of choice and facilities in the restaurant a bit limited considering the number of guests. guests should be stopped from taking food from the restaurant to supply their picnics at the beach. Bathroom was a bit hot as it had no ventilation and it was a super hot weekend. More sun loungers needed. Only two lifts for the entire hotel, we couldn't exactly walk it as we were on the 6th floor.

5.0 star ratingThe food is gorgeous - definitely recommend going for at least half board. The pool is clean and monitored by lifeguard all day. The hotel is a stones' throw from everything else ...great location Finally, the hotel is under-rated with only 2 stars ...its better value than some 3 star hotels here at home. Very handy bus-stop 3min walk from hotel -handy for coming/going anywhere.I have nothing negative to say. Buzby27 October 2010
3.5 star ratingNice position reasonable location although a bit 'out of the way', but better than many similar hotels and we would use again in the future09 March 2011
3.0 star ratingThe rooms were well kept and had everything we required. The bathroom was clean with a change of towels daily. The pool area was nice with a choice of loungers either on a grassy area near the bar or around the pool itself. We never had a problem finding a lounger at any point in time. The location of the hotel is perfect for the beach and a good selection of nice restaurants and bars.The food has been the worst I've ever seen in a spanish hotel and as an ex holiday rep in Spain I have seen a lot. Breakfast was OK with a selection of cereals, fruit and cooked items. It was the evening we dreaded. There was always a soup option which was nice, the salad bar although small was ample. However the main hit food selection was awful, only a choice of about 6 items repeated. One of them actually being crisps. There was always a fish option (fried anchovy) and normally chicken in a sauce. I have no idea what you need to do to a chicken to make it that chewy. One night they had veal which was very nice and two options were normally fries and mash potatoes with another vegetable (tinned carrots). We decided to eat out some nights as we found ourself in and out of the hotel restaurant within 30mins and we lime to enjoy a leisurely meal on holiday. The restaurant can be quite an ordeal if busy with people having to push past your chair just to get to theres. Dannyboy13 September 2011
