Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Spirit Hotel Benalmadena Beach enjoys a fantastic location, right on the beachfront and a pleasant walk to the marina. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring balconies with stunning sea views, and find the beds superbly comfy. The variety of food options is another highlight, with some noting the treat of brut at breakfast; though a few guests have found the spa a bit small relative to the number of guests. The pool area is excellent, offering lovely views.

i stayed in a beautiful double room front sea view! it included bottled water upon arrival. the hotel offered two glasses of cava. the breakfast had much variety. these small extras made me a satisfied customer. the room was modern and functional. it was very close to the sea front and promenade.
The dinner buffet needed improvement. the food labeling could be better. Some options containing pork weren't properly labeled.

tidy roomstreet noiseuseless mini-fridge
the room was super tidy upon arrival. that was acceptable.
I was assigned a room on a lower floor. street noise was noticeable even with the windows closed. furthermore, the mini-fridge in the room barely kept drinks cool. It was practically useless.

warm welcomeclean roomfresh linencrowded pool
Micah's warm welcome really set the tone for my entire stay. Her helpfulness stood out. the room was kept impeccably clean daily, with fresh towels and linens always available, a welcome treat. i appreciated the little touches, such as the complimentary cava upon arrival.
I found the pool area could get quite crowded at times. Securing a sunbed often required arriving early in the morning, a bit inconvenient. this limitation impacted the relaxation i expected .
