...COSTADEL SOL
Benalmadea Costa,
I'm afraid I was always a bit of a 'travel snob' regarding the Costadel Sol. I envisaged the types of scene in TV's Benadorm, a type of Blackpool with sun.
As members of a vacation club ( it was then Sunterra now Diamon Resorts) we had the opportunity for a weeks break for relatively few points at the Sahara Sunset in Benalmadea Costa, as we could get Easy Jet airfairs to Malaga for a very low price we decided to try it.
We have been three times more since then - so needless to say I was not disappointed.
Benalmadena is only 15 kilometers from Malaga Airport, car hire is easily obtainable but it is only 25 euros for a taxi from the airport and there are plenty of excursions and good public transport available in the resort. It is set on the Costadel Sol between...

Review of Costadel Sol (Spain)
Advantages: Sunshine Disadvantages: Feels like England
...When I was offered a week of Spain I jumped at the chance! Club La Costa was offering a week at California Beach, near Finguerola for only 29 pounds plus airfare to Malaga. We knew that it was early in the season but figured we would take the chance and beat the crowds.
Club La Costa is a large development about 30 mins from Malaga airport. You can take a Tiny Train between the Two main parts of the resort: Marina del Sol and California Beach (or as we learned, smile sweetly at any of the porters and they will drive you there!).
In this part of Spain it is low season until June 1.
So the restaurants and bars at the resort closed promptly at midnight - not at all like the Spain I had heard of where you eat late.
Eventhough you have the main pool to yourself, this is for a VERY good reason... it is NOT HEATED. There is...

Review of Costadel Sol (Spain)
Advantages: Plenty to do Disadvantages: Noisy traffic
...I?ve just returned from a one-week holiday in Benalmadena in CostaDel Sol (June 2004) and would like to provide some information about Benalmadena Resort & Benalmadena Palace Apartments where we stayed.
****Benalmadena Palace Apartments****
Newly opened in February 2004, this Apart-Hotel has 4-Star rating.
The coach transfer from Malaga Airport to the Hotel was only about 30 minutes and that included a drop off a one other hotel first. Facilities include Outdoors Pool & Children?s pool, Indoor Pool and Jacuzzi, Sauna, Games Rooms, Table Tennis, Gym (Which was well equipped) Pool Table. Bar. Children?s play area, Mini-Golf (although there were only 5 holes!) Cyber café.
Some facilities were still being implemented, I don?t think the mini-golf was properly finished, and also Tennis Courts & 5-a-side football pitch were still under...

Review of Costadel Sol (Spain)
Advantages: Great location & cheap Disadvantages: Not that many food places around
...I visited Barcelona this July and stayed at the Hotel Hesperia DelMar for five nights with 3 other friends and I have to honestly say we all loved it! The hotel price which we got from expedia was one of the most competitive around and we were pleasantly surprised when we got to the hotel, for how cheap the hotel was it was quite nice. It cost for five night my share was 145 so the entire room cost was 290. The hotel reception staff were the highlight of the hotel. They are very friendly, warm and always willing to help! The rooms were standard and offered everything we needed. The bathroom was fully equipped with a shower, toilet, bidet and sink with large mirror. The bedroom consisted of 2 single beds and were comfy. There is air conditioning so we never felt hot and flustered in the room unless we turned it off and forgot to put it...
Advantages: Cheap loads of sun Disadvantages: Too much english
...I have lived in CostaDel Sol for about a year and half and just returned home to the uk four weeks ago.One thing good about southern Spain is that there's plenty of sun all year round even in the winter its nothing like the UK it's sill quite warm.
There are plenty and plenty of English, Irish and Welsh bars out there which to me it was a bit too much and that's one thing that I didn't like in southern Spain due to its very English.
Shopping
I was situated just outside Torremolinos it's about half an hour from Fungerola which has Marks and Spencer and a very big shopping mall there.
Malaga is just half an hour way as well, in the central train station there is a shopping mall with plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes.
Night Life
Benelemedena has a 24hour even thou the pubs and clubs are not open 24h most of the clubs are...

Review of Costadel Sol (Spain)
Advantages: Good for Children Disadvantages: Too far from resorts
...Holiday Village,Benalmadena-Costadel sol,
stayed 2 weeks from 14 july 2007
Flight
2 and a half hours with First Choice was short and on time so really good as I hate flying!!
Transfer
From Malaga airport it takes about half an hour to transfer to the hotel, it is on the outskirts of Benalmadena.
Check-in
If you fill out the registration form on your transfer it is quick and easy. The staff were curtious and pleasant at all times.
Hotel set half way between Benalmadena and Fuengirola and not good for a stroll into either, its too far from both ,catch a bus!
The Living Room
Well this was my first let-down, as before we went away we had heard there was building work going on at the back of the hotel and also at the beach club where most of the pools are located. Hearing this I called into to my First Choice shop to...
Advantages: lots to see and do, cheap flights Disadvantages: many tacky bits
...The Costadel Sol probably has the worst reputation of any major European holiday destination. I live here and, well yes, that reputation is justified to an extent(see Bravo TV's Costadel Dosh for some examples). It is possible to have a great holiday here though even if you're not a lager lout/sex tourist/criminal and even if you don't like lying on the beach (as I don't) so here are a few ideas.
1. Places to avoid
Well I'll start with the worst bits shall I? There are one or two large towns on the Costadel Sol that are ugly and generally characterless. In particular I'd avoid Fuengirola and Benalmadena for these reasons, but even then they have their good points. It's possible to walk for over a mile in Benalmadena without seeing a Spanish person (but I think that, sadly, may be the point for some British tourists), but it...

Review of Costadel Sol (Spain)
Advantages: Unspoiled with an authentic Spanish feel Disadvantages: Some of the apartments are situated up steep hills
...with the place and I would recommend it heartily to anyone who wants a Costa holiday with much more charm than some of the brasher resorts. The locals say that Nerja is truly magical and draws people back there year after year. I can only speak from experience and that is certainly what has happened to me....
