Family friendly Hotels in Costa del Sol, Spain

"A Perfect Stay at Benalma Hotel Costa del Sol – A Hidden Gem! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Benalma Hotel Costa del Sol, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The hospitality was warm, professional, and consistent throughout our entire stay. Location: The hotel boasts a fantastic location right on the seafront, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. It's perfectly situated — peaceful and relaxing, yet close enough to Benalmádena’s vibrant marina and charming old town for a bit of exploration. Rooms: Our room was modern, spotless, and beautifully designed with a private balcony overlooking the sea. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we loved waking up to the sound of the waves each morning. Amenities: The pool area is stunning, with plenty of sunbeds and a serene atmosphere. The rooftop terrace is a must-visit, especially at sunset — truly magical! The spa services were top-notch, and the fitness center was well-equipped. Dining: The food was a highlight. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options — from continental to Spanish specialties. We also dined at the hotel’s restaurant and were blown away by the service and flavors. Staff: What sets Benalma Hotel apart is the staff. Every team member we encountered was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect stay. Special thanks to the concierge team who helped us plan "

"A truly outstanding hotel worthy of the five-star designation. Everything was excellent."

"Hotel El Faro in Marbella is all about location. Just one block from the beach and right next to the old lighthouse and the Duque de Ahumada promenade, it puts you within easy walking distance of vendors, shops, and restaurants—perfect for enjoying everything the area has to offer. The hotel itself is a bit dated in terms of furniture and appliances, but everything was clean and functioned well. My room had a small kitchen equipped with a refrigerator/freezer, stove, microwave, sink, cookware, and utensils, which made it very convenient for a longer stay. The beds were a little firm for my preference, but overall, the stay was comfortable and pleasant. If you're prioritizing location and value, Hotel El Faro is a solid choice. I would consider staying here again and recommend it to travelers who want to be close to the beach at a reasonable price."
