Pierre & Vacances Benalmadena Principe

"Just returned from a 12 night stay in these appointments and I have to say they have been the most uncomfortable nights I've ever encountered on holiday. The beds are rock hard. It's like trying to sleep on a wooden plank. Got up feeling like we'd been kicked by a donkey. The rooms themselves are not too bad. They are clean, but not very well maintained. The bathroom door wouldn't close and the shower looked like it could fall off any minute, but I guess you get what you pay for. We won't be going back though."

"This hotel was great value, I found the staff friendly, the room spacious & very clean, lovely hot shower & large balcony, full size fridge which was really handy. The location was excellent very close to supermarkets, beach, the bus stop & cafés & restaurants. The 200 euro security deposit & emptying your own bin is not something we are used to but it's made clear when you book so you know what to expect, the public bin & recycling is 1 minute walk from the hotel. The only downside for me was that the beds were hard (for me) but it would not stop me booking again for a short break."

"Spacious rooms. Fully equipped kitchen area. Yes, the cleaning is annoying, but it's reflected in the price. Having to walk up the road to get rid of our rubbish was an inconvenience but whatever. It's not the end of the world. The reception staff are absolutely fine. I wonder if the people who complained made any effort what so ever to be polite and show manners. Pool was cold yes, it's end of October."
