We booked this hotel for a family holiday through Expedia, however when we arrived the booking had been cancelled, Expedia were unable to sort the problem despite having our money for the 7 months previous.

Nice location and comfortable stay
The general look and feel was not very rich but apartments were clean and comfortable. All was good except that parking was an issue. Though we were able to find parking all 5 days within 200 m. Also the slides in swimming pool were restricted from 4-7 PM. We like the place and recommend to others.

Good property for the money paid. Close to the beach and paloma Park. Select staff were very helpful. The complex could benefit, from better amenities within the complex ie a bar, small shop, and clothes washing facilities. Future booking should include, optional booking of the gym facilities.

The aparthotel complex was in a great location right across the road from Parque de la Paloma and just 2 mins. to beach and about 15 mins. from Arroyo de la Miel town centre and train station. Bus stops very nearby. The aparthotel grounds were gorgeous with grassy areas and a huge complex of swimming pools. Loved it that some of the pretty chickens from the park would walk through the grounds! My apartment was on the ground floor, but it was very quiet and I felt safe. The apartment was clean and comfortable with all the facilities I could need, including small hob and microwave, all kitchen utensils, hairdryer, TV, air-con/heating in lounge and bedroom, and safe (which you pay 10 Euros to use). Also washing machine in the bathroom. Plenty of towels. Apartment cleaned twice during my 12 night stay, which was adequate for me. Hotel complex is a very clean and has some lovely indoor fountains. It's a 4 building complex and it's a bit of a maze inside, but you find your way around after a couple of days. Useful shop on basement level. Staff great at 24 hour reception desk and CLC World staff Francisco and David who checked me in and out were fabulous, really friendly and efficient. Altogether, I really enjoyed my stay a Select Benal Beach and I hope to come back again!

A perfect week
An amazing week! The apartment was first class, comfortable, well equipped, first class cleaning standards, super views, quiet and private. Convenient for local transport, supermarket, eating out, taxis, local park, excellent beaches, well kept, supervised sunbeds etc. Arroyo a pleasant walk through park and uphill - for shops, eating places, railway station (excellent service to all places including airport service directly into airport). Good and enjoyable walk along "the front" to Marina - shops, bars, eating places. Benal Beach is a large complex - well kept. "Select" reception (9-5) welcoming and helpful for all your needs. Main reception of BB helpful too. Lifts convenient to all floors. Weather was perfect too. We would go again!

Nice location and reasonable cost. Property is a bit dated though fairly well taken care of. I realize we were there in off season but I think some improvements to the fountains are needed.

Staff at CLC Benal Beach reception were excellent the girl on reception was lovely can’t remember her name but she’s excellent at doing her job and also David they explained where to visit bus route numbers, how to get bus pass card etc really pleasant nice people. My wife and I were made to feel welcome and we both felt welcomed from the first time we arrived at the main reception were our keys had been left for us to pick up after late arrival. We both were very surprised at our room it was spotless with a lovely atmosphere and smell to the room the cleaning staff were in our room on the seconded day and changed bedding etc something that hasn’t happened to us on more expensive holidays remembering that this holiday was in 04/12/18 for 7 days the weather was fantastic every day my wife even managed to get into the sea for a swim Benalmádena itself is an excellent location and well managed the Christmas lights were a fantastic display also. I would recommend CLC Benal Beach to anyone for the little money we paid for this holiday it was first class even had free WiFi in studio something We had to pay for on other holidays at times. Just book it for your next holidays you won’t be disappointed Many thanks to the staff again will be going back same time next year..

Hotel was great. The pool and pool bar are brilliant. Very suited for kids. Only bad thing I’d say is that I was there for six nights and only had the cleaner come in once. But the room was very clean when I arrived.

2nd visit, room was better this time but could be upgraded / updated / refurbished with not much cost and made better. We didn't expect 5 star accommodation. Outside of hotel (building) needs maintenance and repairs in quite a lot of places as does the pool.

A Great Place to Stay!
Our rooms were very clean. Furniture was in good condition. Each week sheets and towels were replaced and our unit was also cleaned. We had 2 wall mounted heaters that did a great job when temps dropped. The WiFi worked well. We were in this apartment for 5 weeks. We had only a 2 hob stovetop and a microwave to do our cooking. An oven would have been quite helpful for this longer stay. The CLC reception staff were very helpful. Would highly recommend!
