“Medplaya Hotel Alba Beach strikes me as a balanced option for couples seeking sun and convenience in Benalmadena; its greatest strength is proximity to the beach and local attractions. While some aspects, like the buffet, are standard fare, the friendly staff and clean environment stand out. I think opting for breakfast-only makes good sense, letting you explore Benalmadena's dining scene.”
