“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.”

average stay with some issues
uncomfortable sun loungerspoor view
the sun loungers by the pool were shockingly uncomfortable i saw people stacking two on top of each other to get some padding the view wasn't great either mostly buildings and a car park i definitely wouldn't rush back for those reasons it made relaxing difficult i'd rather hit the beach for a comfy lounger.
