The 50 best bars and drinks in Benalmadena

A very nice place to visit, very beautiful views, tons of restaurants, docks with boats and even found a classic boat there! The architecture is beautiful there. We went to see SeaWorld but the surroundings are beautiful as well! We had tons of fun, had some food, walked around and fooled around as well. I do recommend visiting it when you are in the area, it's very beautiful and can be very romantic as well if you want too.

We love it here. Lovely shops and plenty of places to eat, drink or grab and ice cream. Also plenty of boat trips on offer (we tried two!). We also loved the Sea Life aquarium here.

A must to visit even if it's just for a walk. A lively, busy marina very morish in more ways than one! We visited in the evening and it was buzzing, so many restaurants to choose from. If you want to do a little shopping there are many to choose from. Daytime visit was just as good, we stopped for a coffee

Great tourist spot, plenty of choice in restraunts and shops. Comes alive at night and open until late. Nice setting with the boats and water, some great views if you book the right table

If you are nearby, this place is a must see. Sometimes it gets crowded. Lots of nice restaurants and shops in the area. My recommendation.

This is such a vibrant and stunning place. The 3 island complexes are gorgeous and just shows how the other half live.

Great place to visit. Plenty shops and bars , and lucky lucky men 🤣 420 friendly bar close by too.

It was my first time yesterday and had a really good experience overall. The ambience is lovely – calm, stylish, and inviting. The location is convenient, with easy underground parking, which made the visit smooth. Free 2hours parking if you have 15€ minimum spend in one of the restaurants. We had pizzas, and I really appreciated the thin dough – light and crisp, just how I like it. The food quality was good standard for touristic area and once we placed our order, everything came out quickly. That said, a couple of small things stood out that could make the experience even better: 1. The service felt a bit slow, especially considering it was a quiet weekday around 5 p.m. It took a while for someone to take our order, and we had to call the staff’s attention more than once to make additional requests. A bit more proactive engagement from the team would really improve the customer experience. 2. A small tweak to the pizza dough, like using a lower fermentation dough to make it softer, might elevate the texture even more – just a personal suggestion! 3. It would also be really helpful if the menu clearly highlighted vegetarian options. Even something as simple as a small symbol next to the dish name would make it much easier for vegetarians to choose without needing to ask. Overall, I really enjoyed the visit and would definitely come back. I’m looking forward to seeing how things improve over time!

3rd day of our Spain trip. The food was really good. Very rich but so good. Portion sizes are incredible. The views and location are 2nd to none. Staff are very friendly. The only negative would be if it is busy you may have to wait to have your drinks topped up. Not that it would stop me eating here again

Fabulous restaurant in the heart of Benalmadena Marina. We went at peak time which probably wasn't the best idea. We were seated out the back of the restaurant which, although it was a gorgeously set up area, looked out onto the back streets of the Marina. We love people watching so this wasn't the worst but we would have liked to have been sat overlooking the Marina instead... The staff were nice, it was quite busy but they still refilled our glasses, cleared the table and delivered our meals in good time. There was little to no conversation outside of the service aspect which suits some people, but we are quite chatty people so it felt awkward at times when they came to clear plates. The food was unreal, there wasn't a crumb left by the time we were done. Good wine we had a bottle of white between us. Prices weren't extortionate but I wouldn't be eating here every night during the holiday, more for a special date night.

We were recommended to go here by a local family and it was a huge mistake. We were two adults and two children. The interior is pretty and we were hoping for some good Italian food. It was in mid July of 2025 so very busy but in no way any excuse for the bad service and the even worse food. We had to stand up and grab a waiter any time we wanted anything. We ordered a meat pasta and the one with truffle, the children had Carbonara and the simple one with grind meat. The dishes, especially the adults one were so poorly seasoned and tasted so bad we couldn’t eat them. The meat tasted like its had been microwaved and it was a total disater. The toilets lacked toilet paper and we were served food but didn’t have any cutlery or napkins. Only the drinks saved the night. Maybe the pizzas are better but me and my family will never ever go back.

Food was delicious!! My only thing to add is our plates were not cleared and service could be improved. I do recommend

We came to Benalmadena for the second time on our girly holiday and went to this place on our last night. The view from the marina was beautiful and so was the food, I got the four cheese rigatoni. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re in Benalmadena

Stopped on our return from Estepona on the way to Nerja. Excellent value food not too pricey overlooking the harbour

Lovely little building and though modern it’s been beautifully designed to showcase Andalusia’s Moorish history - there’s no other signs of it in the town so this is a nice touch. Just across the square there’s a similarly designed archway/gate. I think there’s toilets and tourist information inside but it never seemed to open during our time there and there were no (obvious) signs for opening hours! Recommend visiting at sunrise or sunset when the light on the surrounding promenade and beach is really beautiful.

Lovely building with information for visitors and toilet facilities. Can’t work out its opening hours though. Set in a square at the beach so lovely views across the sea. Tiles on the walls are lovely. Has bands playing outside on special days like American Independence Day

Beautiful building and art place (though we didn’t like the current exposition of art). There is a tourist information and also WC available for everyone (only 1). Can be a nice place to hide from hot sun probably too 😁 and you can take great pictures in front of it for your ig.

*5/5 stars* El Bil-Bil Castle in Benalmádena is an absolute masterpiece! 🏰🎨 I recently had the pleasure of visiting this stunning castle, which houses an impressive collection of artwork by the renowned Spanish artist, José Luis Corral Ramos, also known as "El Bil-Bil". The castle itself is a work of art, with its Moorish architecture and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea 🌟. As you wander through the castle's halls and courtyards, you'll discover an incredible array of artwork, including paintings, sculptures, and ceramics 🎭. What struck me most was the way the castle's exposition showcases El Bil-Bil's artistry and creativity. Each piece is carefully curated to showcase the artist's unique style and vision 🌈. From the vibrant colors to the intricate details, every aspect of the artwork is a testament to El Bil-Bil's skill and craftsmanship. The castle's staff are knowledgeable and passionate about the art and history on display, adding to the overall experience 🤝. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for a unique cultural experience, El Bil-Bil Castle is a must-visit destination in Benalmádena 🌟. I highly recommend visiting El Bil-Bil Castle to anyone interested in art, history, or simply experiencing the beauty of Spain 🌟. Don't miss it!

Being converted into a tourist information office, nice to go in and have a wander. The scenery outside is pretty good, and a good spot for selfies.

Beautiful place, nice arts inside, not much but just enough to enjoy. Piece and quite in the middle of a busy street. In the evening beautifully lighted, few benches around for a stop to admire the views over the sea

It was ok, not as big as I expected doesn't take long to see it all nice architecture

Lots of bars and restaurants. Not especially picturesque.

Lovely place good entertainment. Staff are lovely can't do enough for you. It's table service you get shown to your table just sit relax watch the show .

Bit grim and it's uphill to get there quite a trek from the coast and absolutely no signage to help....Google maps sent us way out of our way and locals helped in the end with directions else we'd never have found it!

It’s a 20 minute walk from the marina and mostly flat with the last bit uphill. Plenty of bars and restaurants (the Indian is well worth a try)

This is a lovely little square which I’d imagine is very busy and lovely in the summer as it has lots of little bars and restaurants

Lots of eating and drinking 🍸 places in a small area of benalmadena

Nothing there , save your time and go elsewhere

Chiringuito La Cubana at Playa Carvajal is colourful, authentic, and full of character. It’s the perfect beach spot in Benalmádena. The food is excellent: fresh, flavourful, and properly done. The drinks are just as good. A must-visit for a true local experience right by the sea. It's wise to book ahead, especially on weekends, as the place is quite popular among the locals.

Beautiful place at the beach. As we have been there it was packed! Famous place in the area. Staff was trying to get all the orders done quickly. We ordered take away from the bar. We had to wait first maybe 15 minutes, to order our food, then wait for the food again about 10 minutes. We weren't in any hurry and the atmosphere was good. The food and the drinks have been fantastic. A bit pricey for those chicken Nuggets. (8€) The guacamole was a big sized dish! 10€ for that size was good for me. Shareable with friends as a beach snack. I would come back again.

Love the place so colorful and super nice vibes love the feeling of it. Full of great products and good menue and everything is super fresh service is nice and the host is super fast-minded and taking care of the whole place. Busy but fun

As always is the atmosphere amazing, the service great and fast. I only wish the size of the portion was bigger, but it’s only me of my friends who was still hungry afterwards. We were all happy with our lunch 👌🏾

We finally got to check out this amazing Cuban chiringuito, where the food was incredible and the cocktails were flowing - hydration in beach style! 😄 The food was very well presented, full of flavour and aromas. We decided to go for the most authentic dishes which we shared amongst three of us. The staff here are really friendly, our waitress has worked here for more than 8 years. I would definitely advise that you book in advance, as they are so popullar that finding a space on a weekend lunch would be almost impossible. Ill definitely be back here for more

There is no other place like this down here. By fAr the funkiest place on the beach... Such a great vibe. A must see and feel kinda place. Don't leave here without visiting La Cubana Beach. Gloria and the team are awesome. ❤️☀️🙏🏼

Nice little place, colorful, tasty food and good choice of drinks! We where sitting on the beach and ordered food for there - one thing I noticed is that the menu on the QR code is not showing everything there is, so best to go in the restaurant to see what choices for food and drinks there are.

Visited today with my wife and young daughters. Note there is no parking at the venue but road parking an available near by. We went to book in advance, on the day but the website states you have to wait 1 hour before you can enter so we just purchased our tickets on site. Overall it’s was very clean and tidy with a small gift shop and on site cafe. Once inside the main area it’s simply amazing, lots of butterflies and some birds flying around. My girls absolutely loved it and even had some butterflies land on them and stay for a while. It appears all the creatures are well looked after and you can get up close with many of them. The turtles and fish pond are a nice touch. You have to watch where you walk as butterflies just stop on the paths. Lots of information to read. The girls had a spot the butterfly quiz provided by the venue which was a bit of fun. I think we were there for approximately 45 mins to 1 hour max. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

A truly unique experience to see so many butterflies! Our two/year old daughter loved it! The pond, small waterfall, birds, fish, and turtles were also a treat. We had some drinks and a piece of cake at the cafe after. Lovely afternoon!

Such an enchanting activity! Our 1 year old loved it - butterflies flying around their head, beautiful fish in the pond, and some tortoises too! It is warm inside (rightly so!) so dress Littles in light layers.

A great experience all in all. The park itself is not very large, but creative pathways inside makes for an illusion of it being larger on the inside than outside. Great for kids with interest in butterflies and colours but also for adults. The butterflies literally fly around your head (and some do land on you). Almost felt creepy to hear the "woosh" of a butterfly passing your ears.

The price for admission was very reasonable. It was very interesting. It was great that children got a little game for their butterfly search. There are lots of butterflies to see, and the shop was also very nicely designed. I also thought it was great that there was a café right next door for sitting and snacking.

I think it's overpriced for the size of the place, the things to see and not to mention taxi fare to reach the place. There were only a few species of butterflies. Also, Mariposario de Benalmádena is more fitting, more grand - because with the new name "Monowa", it's as if the place is having an identity crisis - but hey, that's just me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hear me out thought: It's in Spain 🇪🇸 With Thai 🇹🇭 (?) or Cambodian 🇰🇭 (?) themed decor And a (new) Japanese 🇯🇵 name (mono no aware)

Very beautiful place, butterflies could sit on you, a little, but it is understandable because of the butterflies (humidity), the worker was very nice explained things to us, the children were given a list of butterflies, which was great, the price was acceptable, we found a parking lot without any problems, we were in November

My wife and I had a lovely lunch at this spot. She enjoyed a delicious beef Thai salad, which was full of vibrant flavours. I had the summer chicken salad, which was good, but after tasting her Thai salad, I regretted not ordering it myself! The pineapple juice was refreshing, and the service was friendly and attentive. It's a very nice spot for a casual meal!

The cocktails are delicious! The food is good, a bit over priced imo, but it's to be expected because of its location. Most staff only speak English. It took a while for our orders to come out, so be prepared to wait when they're busy. Would return for the drinks!

Wonderful place for both lunch and dinner. Highly recommend it. Delicious food and cocktails. Very well catered for vegetarian and gluten free. Friendly stuff and great atmosphere.

Delicious food. Really friendly staff. Dietary restrictions taken into account and allergens in the dishes are clearly marked on a menu 🙏

Normally we never go to the same place twice.. but we have eaten here 2 times! The food was amazing (great dishes and very much flavour) and the ambiance was great too. Staff was so friendly. If you go there, order one of their cocktails! Would definitely recommend this place.

I had heard that the owners changed. 2 years ago we came here several times in a week for delicious food. Now it was more quantity over quality, probably cheaper/frozen ingredients. Tuna tataki was warm, which was weird. Stuff was very polite.

Absolutely amazing!! Myself and my partner went here while on holiday in the Costa del Sol. We have been here several times and it never fails to amaze us!! If you are looking for delicious tapas and brilliant service this is the place for you. Best restaurant in Benalmádena in my opinion!

Beautiful views from the restaurant. Kids menu has steak options which were tasty. Had the T-bone it was well cooked but the cut had a little too much fat for me. Enjoyed the meal, would recommend it.

Great location even though you have to pay for parking. Opens at 13:00 and I had lunch with starters pil pil gambas - it was okay but the oil seemed a bit boring quality. I wish they would have used olive oil or at least 50% of it. Needed salt. Fries with truffle at tasty but could have more cheese and they are a bit too soft - originally fries have to always be crispy and some of them were and they were great! The entrecôte steak 500g was amazing. I had to save a bit for take away too. Bread I don’t often eat but was nice and fresh with the gambas. Flake salt was a bonus! Important in a steak restaurant. The playlist was a fantastic 80s and 90s songs - I loved it. Thanks for opening at 1 pm even if I was the only person here.

A must eat location if you like meat and steaks honestly, especially because you can enjoy the view which is amazing and the meat at the same time! Also parking is no problem because you can park (paid) right out front of the restaurant. The service was very friendly and patient even though they had a very busy night and a large group that become rude customers for no reason which they handled like pro’s kudos to you the staff here! We really enjoyed our last night in the Malaga region and thank you all for the great night and proper burger and steak! Hasta pronto!

Went there with friends. The service was excellent, the food and wine even better. I'm not really a steak eater but I chose the 200gm fillet and it was amazing. Coupled with 4 or 5 sides it was one of the best meals I've had since moving to Spain 8 years ago. My sister-in-law is coming out next week for a short stay and we will definitely be taking her there one evening.

Lovely little restaurant with lovely big steaks. Had the 500g ribeye which was cooked to perfection. Great view over the sea whilst you chill and enjoy the food. Plus make sure you get the bread and chimichurri to start. Delicious.

Wow, what a fab restaurant... we were a group of 22 from Ireland celebrating a birthday. Food was fabulous and very reasonably priced. Group menu available. Staff really good and attentive. Setting beside the beach amazing... Would recommend and will definitely return

Amazing Steak House in a perfect location right above the beach in Benalmádena. Many steak and other choices available with a great selection of accompanying wines. We shared an amazingly cooked rare seared tomahawk which was great value. Really nice ambience and lots of nice friendly and helpful staff. I want to go back for the Sirloin 1kg in 1 hour challenge!!!

Beautifully designed place, but overall overrated. Food presentation is nice, but the quality doesn’t match the high prices. We only enjoyed the bluefin tuna in the rolls and nigiri. The tuna tataki was disappointing — unevenly sliced and not worth the price. Cocktails were hit or miss: the mezcal one was good, but the basil one just tasted like a basic virgin mojito. Service was slow despite the restaurant being half-empty. The best part is the stylish and pleasant interior

We just had an absolute ripper of a dinner at Trocadero Benalmádena. You can really tell they’ve gone all-out with the design—it’s stylish, spot-on, and sets a brilliant atmosphere. Honestly, they’ve nailed it. The service was next-level. We had a dedicated staff member looking after just our little cluster of three tables, which meant everything was super prompt and personal. Never had to wave anyone down—everything just flowed. As for the food, it was bang-on. The steaks were sensational—cooked perfectly—and the Spanish starters were seriously impressive. Everything had that extra touch of quality. We also shared a lovely bottle of wine, and with the stunning sea view and chic bar setup, the whole experience felt really special. All up, it came to about €180, which is on the pricier side for us, but honestly, worth every cent. One of those dinners you treat yourself to every now and again—and you’re so glad you did.

We ordered the paella and the lubina fish, both were good. The atmosphere was nice and the interior is beautiful. The staff were very friendly, which we appreciated. However, the hygiene really needs attention: my glass had a lipstick stain, and when they offered us a cup of straws, there was an insect walking on them. For me, hygiene is the most important part of a dining experience, so this really affected my impression.

Trocadero Benalmádena boasts an undeniable 'wow' factor with its incredible atmosphere and beautiful location. It's truly a place to soak in the Mediterranean vibe. The staff were friendly, but the service was exceptionally slow, even on a quiet evening. Regarding the food, the Red Tuna Tataki was okay, but I was surprised by its presentation on a bed of raw peppers and onion with hardly any of the usual soy dressing, making it quite different from typical versions. However, all other dishes were superb and delicious enough to justify the lengthy waiting time. The standout, hands down, was the lemon and white chocolate cake – an absolute must-try dessert

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful time. We ordered a variety of appetizers and one was more delicious than the other. Artichokes, octopus, goat cheese salad, croquetas, shrimp and some very nice drinks. The staff was very friendly, so we had delightful dinner.

Overlooking the sea, it is ideal for relaxation, conversation and a quiet drink. A place you will want to return to, tastefully decorated and with a great atmosphere. The food is very good although the price are expensive. The service is also very good.

So we are a bit torn about this place. On one hand the athmosphere is very nice and the scenery is breath taking. Service and drinks are pretty good as well. However the food is more than average. Bottom line go there for a drink

Went for a quick lunch, we had roughly 25 minutes before the kitchen would close. We quickly ordered our Spanish favorites, conchas finas a la plancha, almejas and vieras and few other things. The kitchen stayed open a extra 15 minutes, and they delivered fresh, nicely prepared Mediterranean seafood of high quality. I can highly recommend this place 👌

Big plates, bold flavors, and zero regrets! Juicy steaks with perfect grill marks. Even the fries & baked potatoes on the side are so good! Specially recommend the seafood soup & meat platter! They are amazing! Will definitely come again if I visit Malaga next time!

Comfortable restaurant, nice bread and dip served promptly. Ordered a steak grilled, tasty but poorly trimmed. 50% meat, 50% fat. Also ordered a sizzling shrimp dish. Inedible, the shrimps were sizzling in an oil but lacked flavour and quality. The staff were fine. However no one asked why the shrimp dish was uneaten when they cleared the table. No love in the food here in our experience. Maybe we came on a bad night but won’t have a chance to try again and given all the choices in the neighbourhood we’d try a different restaurant regardless.

One of the better restaurants in the area with interesting architecture. The food was very good as well as the service. The interior is typically Spanish: rustic, cozy and family friendly.

A beautiful location ans excellent meat. Select your cut from the fridge, made to your taste. My go to in this area for steak.

Great Spanish restaurant, unusual setting, Food is amazing especially the steaks,very friendly staff, good selection of wines and beers,booking is advisable as it gets very busy.

First time we visited and food was excellent. Spanish atmosphere staff very nice. I'd definitely go back next holiday 😊

Good food and good service. Not the cheapest of places, not the most expensive. Burger was a little disappointment, but decent none the less. Both chickens were great and juicy. Quesadillas looked really good, but were a little dry. Lamb was good. Price for food and drinks for 5 people 136€

A nice sea view, good music and good coffee but there were 2 parties and we wait 20 minutes for 2 cups of coffee /a little bit too much I think /

Great position on the beach. You can come straight from the beach and chill out, eat and drink. It can get very hot overhead and they could do with more shaded areas. They use large sails to shield you from the sun. They do have a fine cold mist that showers over you and cools u down. It's the furthest bar on the beach but worth the walk.

Delicious cocktails. Beautiful setting right on the beachfront. Staff very friendly.

We go to this beach quite often and have lunch here every day its a wounderfull setting and the food is great and the team of staff are simply the best. All the best guys Peter & Janice

My wife and I walked over two miles to reach this place and if I had known how bad it was I wouldn't have bothered because belive me it wasn't worth it. The view is OK. Over looking the beach and some rocks next to some steep steps. But when it comes to service and prices then this place fails terribly. We had the menus thrown at us after waiting ages to be served and then waited some thirty minutes for our drinks to arrive. We never ordered food we just drank up and left. Nearly nine euros for two drinks. Avoid at all costs!!!!!

After a warm welcome and drinks and food order taken, we were served reasonably quickly. Unfortunately once we were served we were left and felt invisible. No-one asked if everything was alright, not even if we wanted more drinks. Of the six staff working we couldn't even catch an eye. Our plates weren't even cleared until we had eventually requested the bill an hour and a half after we had arrived. A very poor experience in my opinion.

We had the BEST time at Molly Malone’s for our hen party cocktail class! 🍹 Danny and his team were absolutely amazing, full of energy and knew exactly how to get the party started. The cocktails were delicious (and very generous on the alcohol, which we loved!) and the atmosphere was just perfect for our celebration. It turned into a proper party with so much laughter, dancing, and lots of drinks. Everyone in our group said it was one of the highlights of the trip. If you’re planning a hen do or just want a brilliant night out in Benalmádena, this is 100% the place to go. Huge thanks to Danny and the team for making it unforgettable! 🥂✨

If you’re planning a hen party and don’t come here, what are you even doing? Staff were absolute saints for putting up with our chaos — think loud laughs, questionable dance moves, and one inflatable flamingo that somehow became the life of the party. They kept the energy high, the vibe immaculate, and nobody called security, so honestly it was a huge success. 100% would recommend, 200% if your group is as ridiculous as ours.

We are a group from wales and we came in too see a lady with a lovely smile and big personality called maddie , she made us very welcome, hope the best for her in the future and we would definitely come back to see her

My girlfriend had her skirt pulled up by another man on a stag party who all laughed at his action. The bouncer confronted the man about it. He was not asked to leave and when I asked the bouncer why he said it was because the man was drunk…..

The barmaid maddie is the most loveliest girl ever, made our holiday, good company and makes us feel so welcome , definitely would come back to see her and chat with her again, very quick service and with a lovely smile , makes a mean tequila rose ;))

Hen party group 19/06 Wow! We took part in the cocktail making class and the two lads that run it did it disappoint! No drinks were watered down, such a laugh, so much included, hilarious night to remember!

The cocktails were as present as the smile on the waitress’ face (both were absent). What a shame that her attitude didn’t give us the will to continue to party in that place.

Was dead an hour after it opened when we arrived, and while the free drink and shot on entry for a tenner was handy the place had an awful list of songs playing. The host that initially called us in went from being accommodating to trying to move us to a different part of the bar because two of us had gone to the bathroom and a family had come in, one of which was clearly underage, not the only underage person in there either??? That wouldn't have been so bad if the host didn't then persistently come back over to tell us that he was being "kind" when asking us to move and that it's our fault he lost up to 80 euro? Not our fault you tried moving us drink in hand and couldn't let that go for over half an hour, an absolute embarrassment of a bar, and an even more embarrassing club, if you can call an empty terrace that. Bartenders were lovely though.

We had a nice Discoparty started at 16.00 🕺🏽🎉

Attended Disco by Day! It was great fun! A little less dry ice and a bit more 80's and 90's and it would have been perfect! And play the tunes in full - don't chop them off halfway through. Thanks. Will definitely go again 💃👍🥰

From start to finish an overall terrible experience, was walking by when approached by the owner and was very loudly asked if we were going in, when we explained we were just looking we were bombarded by offers(10 euro entry fee, but free drink voucher) and how it was amazing. We explained how we needed a moment to think and walked off to the side, the owner then proceeded to hover around us and continuously jump into our conversation asking if we were ready to enter. Eventually we gave in and went to pay the entrance fee, after we went to head down the stairs beside where we paid and were roughly stopped and told we had to go upstairs. Upon reaching the upstairs, there was maybe a max of 15 people. We were brought to a nice table where we decided to spend the night. Very awkward atmosphere, the DJ also continuously played old pop songs, each song ending with a brief 5 second pause, no smooth transition for any songs, some being extremely abrupt. Around 2 hours after opening people started to fill in, a number being very clearly underage or just turned 18, which made the awkward atmosphere uncomfortable. The owner went up to this table that he had sat roughly 20 minutes prior, and rudely told the occupants that they had to move since a party of 10 was looking for a table (this table could comfortably hold 6-8 people, 4 seats) They explained how they were sitting and how half their party was in getting drinks, he then argued a bit more and left. The rest of the table returned and so did the owner, this time he was completely different explaining how he was trying to be nice by asking them to move, when they explained they wanted to remain at the table, the owner proceeded to tell them how they had costed him 80 euro and proceeded to keep going back to the table until they had to leave because of the pressure and negative energy. Overall not a welcoming place, bad music and bad environment. The workers behind the bar were wonderful.

Was told at the door that the place was packed and "had a great vibe", went in for a tenner to find a dead terrace with a awful dj. We were there for about half an hour when friends went to the toilet and we were told that our table was needed for a larger party and that we have to go stand inside. When we said no, that we had friends coming back, the guy said that he's the owner and that we cost him 80 euro for not letting these people stand at our table. He came back a few times to comment more, so we decided to just go. Overall a bad experience, bad atmosphere, bad music and bad people. Man needs to get a grip.

A very good place to have fun

Can't understand the negative reviews.. I ain't young and I had a blast.... Partied so hard I can hardly move this morning. Guy came on with a violin WOW... DJ was brilliant too. Bar staff attentive and good .... Epic night !!

Really good tapas restaurant. If you are paying by, it's a place to eat. The prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious. I really recommand it

Lovely food and friendly staff. The tapas is somewhat unusual, including banana ketchup and oriental flavours such as wasabi and kimchi, but it was delicious. I’d highly recommend. The wine is also lovely. I plan on returning. I had tuna tartare, croquettes and cod in tempura batter and could have had it twice over!

Just left another tapas restaurant close by as it didn’t look appealing at all, I’m so glad I did! The food here is lovely! The tapas menu could be bigger but I recommend the melted cheese with jam... I ordered a second serving and I’m not a massive cheese fan at all, beautiful food and a lovely relaxed atmosphere 👌🏻

One of Aroyo's best kept secrets, serving the best tapas I have eaten since moving to Spain 12 years ago. Excellent service, and a place to share with good friends.

The food and the presentation are just excellent! Prices are great service is excellent food is to die for! Don't miss this little gem! We went twice in a week we enjoyed it so much.

Excellent tapas experience! Good wine and great food. Don't miss out on the desserts👍

Best tapas we had in 12 days, much better than What u find by the Beach, but watch out for the ekstra hot chicken wings - they are REALY hot, but Great

The act on, Ricky was very good entertainment his tribute to Tom Jones in first half was like having Tom singing to you privately. Second half was tribute to Elvis was fantastic entertainment I recommend to all . Must see show.

Went to El Elefante tonight and what a night it was we happened to make it for the George Michael tribute and it was a fantastic time so if anyone is around next year and you can catch Ryan Joseph wherever he may be please check him out he is absolutely amazing and so very entertaining 🥰👏👏

Two visits in the last week Robbie Williams and take that tributes wer both fantastic shows amazing voices. The venue is perfect staff can't do enough for u even had complimentary shots

We visited for the show entertainment in the evening, a first time visit for us as we'd been visiting the sister venue nearby on previous evenings. The chairs are more comfortable at the El Elefante 😉

Great atmosphere guy from Limerick owns it lovely guy he runs a good show live tribute bands we saw Neil Diamond he had some voice...highly recommended a visit here...

Went to watch a friend of mine sing but it was cancelled instead the act was a Spanish girl singing Amy Winehouse songs and playing a clarinet wasn't very good so I just left.

Good place for entertainment, good drinks at reasonable price. I would recommend it to everyone. The place to go for your Friday and Saturday night out. Good music, reasonably priced drinks and great atmosphere. Try it!!!!!!!!

Decided to give this restaurant a try on our last night in resort. Walked in without a booking and was able to get a table outside overlooking the marina. Timed it right as the restaurant filled up shortly afterwards! Ordered the ribs and chilli. Plenty of meat on the ribs but my partner had the chilli dish and said there was too much rice and not enough chilli. Ordered the key lime pie and Malteser cheesecake for dessert. Took a while to arrive but both were delicious. Had a jug of sangria to share & the final bill was less than what we thought it would be.

Definitely worth booking. Great atmosphere and views across the Marina depending on which table you get. Food is great if you're looking for American style meat and burgers etc. Have visited twice over the last couple of years when staying nearby and will visit again next time I'm local. Good online reservation management... Had to change times on the day and they accommodated my request over email.

Best experience we had in Benalmádena. Menu has superb options and the two occasions we ate there it was flawless. For families the kids menu is the strongest we have seen, gone way further than most and really well priced. Lively place, bordering on noisy but not intrusive.

Intimate venue as not a huge amount of seating when in the cooler months - well worth the trip. The staff are incredibly attentive, very good humoured and friendly. We were served by Sarai is was absolutely lovely, it was on a Friday night with a few bigger tables to cover and she did fantastically including recommending what dishes to try and whether our eyes were bigger than our bellies. The food was delicious - we would go back again.

As a previous Google review said "the best ribs I have ever had" I can totally agree. Lovely venue overlooking the harbour and a great vibe.

If I could give this place Ten Stars I would. Busy busy evening and being the chancer I am I requested a table for two on the front line with a view of the marina and a light breeze please. I thought, no chance! But the very charming young lady in the CEO tee shirt said, unlikely, but take a seat in the bar and I'll see what I can do, twenty mins over an ice cold beer and she delivered the perfect table. Then came our waitress, what can I say? World class, This girl can work anywhere and do anything she wants in life. This was probably the best restaurant experience I've ever had, oh and the food was fab too, and at a reasonable price. This is my first visit to Jack's in Benalmadena and could not recommend it highly enough. Been to the Puerto Banus branch many times over I think almost twenty- five years, always great too. Thanks so much guys.

Nice setting with seats under cover overlooking the marina. Service is quick and food good. Staff very friendly. Went back second time, at the weekend had a DJ playing popular music so had a good atmosphere too

One of the best restaurants I have eaten in anywhere in the world. The food quality is high. The cut of steak is shown to you before it goes on the grill. The seafood Risotto is packed with Seafood. You wont eat better food for the price.

Very good cuisine both for adults and children. The staff is nice, friendly and helpful. We've attended 3 times during our stay in Benalmadena. Our 4 y/o enjoyed the musicians group who visited the restaurant twice during our dinners the most. We would love to come back again.

We had such a nice dinner at Da Checco & Paola! Everything tasted great — the wine was lovely and the staff were super friendly. My boyfriend really enjoyed his steak, and my lasagna was delicious. The Greek salad wasn’t exactly my favorite, but it was fine as a side. Would definitely come back!

It was the best food and the best atmosphere, wonderful and very available people, no waiting for the table, meat prepared in front of our eyes. We'll be back and greetings!

Ate here on our holiday a couple of weeks ago. It came highly recommended and I understand why! The food was top notch absolutely lovely. A few of us had steak and some had pasta and all meals were exceptional. I had steak with Cheese and salad and it was absolutely gorgeous!! My husband had pasta and so did my daughter and they said it was so full of flavour! I’m gutted we only went late into our holiday as we would defo have visited again. Give it a go you won’t be disappointed!

This Italian Argentinian place was actually really good. The food hit the spot and the staff were super nice and patient the whole time. Also, we loved all the LEGO dexogations they had around, it made the place feel kind of fun and different. They did mess up our order at first, but honestly they were cool about it and fixed it pretty fast. Gave us some free drinks too which was a nice surprise and made everything better. We left happy. Would definitely recommend.

Maybe the biggest suprise during my time around Malaga. Wondering if I had a better steak in my life! Nice interior, really professional service with warm faces on. Highly highly recommended guys!

Servers were terrific and lovely. Food was good. Someone who we suspect is the owner /manager was totally oblivious as he sat at front of door snorting making disgusting extremely loud grunting nose noises while watching loud video on his ipad. We could barely talk to each other over that disgusting noise. Would not go there again because of him.

Lovely restaurant. Food came quick and was tasty. We had a brownie for dessert which felt shop bought but overall everything was nice! To add, it wasn’t very busy so lacking atmosphere

The Amici is located in a string of restaurants and set in a modern building.Right on the roadside it's very convenient for the many hotels nearby.The service was quick , atmosphere good with many nationalitys using it. My Calzone was slightly burned but still tasty and the Gnocchi excellent .

Very tasty Pizza conveniently located close to the Sunset Beach hotel in benalmedena. Defo worth a take away or a visit if you are in the area

Myself and my family stayed in the area for 7 days and while going back to the airport (4pm 25th Oct 25) we decided to have food here. What a mistake. The waiter looked like he didn't want to be there. When the food came out (pan fried chicken with salad) it looked absolutely horrendous on the plate but we decided to give it a try. The chicken was tasteless and dry and looked like it was reheated in a pan that was used for something else. The salad was worse, it was not fresh and definitely came from a bag. I told the waiter and all he said was I should have told him before I ate it. He then had no interest in our table even when I asked for the bill he became even more unfriendly. This was not a good experience at all.

It was the most beautiful and tasty food I have had in a long time! Every little thing had its details and was like a piece of art. Thank you 😊

We ate here three times and the food was delicious all three times. The service is also great! Thank you :)

"A massive thank you to everyone at The Drunken Sailor! We were celebrating my mum's 60th birthday (and my aunt's a few days later) and the effort they put in was absolutely amazing. From the decorations and singing to the cake, they made both events incredibly memorable and special occasions. The service is second to none, Boab, Sylvia, Lisa, Robbie, Eileen and Gill were so amazing! They’re so incredible! They’re always busy but make the time to be personal with every customer! They create a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere. It's clear they are passionate about what they do. Stop by if you're in Benalmádena—you won't be disappointed!"

Amazing food, great drinks but more importantly fantastic staff. Made to feel so welcome, great banter and always time for a blether 🥰. We visit every time we're over.

Only had drinks here so can’t comment on the food but the staff were very friendly and attentive. Drinks were reasonably priced so what else do you need. Great location with stunning views out over the marina and sea.

From the moment we walked in we knew we chose right! Very warm, friend and accommodating staff. The food is exactly like home only better. We'd the burger and homemade chicken kebab. Dessert was cheesecake. All delicious and looking at the food at other tables it all looked tasty with many happy customers. The host from Newcastle N.Ireland is a hoot! P&B

After seeing macmaster on youtube we decided to go The Drunken Sailor for my wife Birthday dinner.She had lasagne and I had Steak pie.Macmaster was right, absolutely brilliant good quality English food.Staff so friendly and chatty.Would recommend every time

Visited today with my wife and young daughters for lunch. It was busy but they managed to find us a table out of the sun which was very much appreciated. All the staff were incredibly friendly, the place had a great atmosphere with stunning sea views. The drinks arrived quickly, we ordered the food and one of the team brought my daughters a mini connect 4, suggesting the have a competition (amazing) my girls loved it. They played happily whilst the food was prepared. Food came and was exactly as ordered looked and tasted great. Once finished and paid, which was great value at £32 for the four of us and drinks, the staff gave my kids some sweets and an ice pop each. Truly amazing service the likes of which I have not experienced for a long time. As any parent knows holidays are about your kids having a great time. Above and beyond is an understatement. My kids won’t stop talking about their experience. A massive thanks to the team. Highly recommend. A hidden gem.

Called here with one thing in mind after watching YouTube. Omg did not disappoint was here for hours. We had the ploughmans and was better than expected so much food for price and the best value meal we've had. Then the staff 5 star service so friendly and welcoming. Don't take my word call in and show them all their hard work is worth it. We are back next month and will deffo be back thankyou to all the staff at the drunken sailor for an amazing experience

food nice,and few things missing from menu. 1 man cooking, serving,taking orders.. Took too long...but to be fair,food ok. Would definitely go elsewhere in future.

After looking on line at reviews Rajus Indian Indian city stood out. Booked online and four of us ate there and were not disappointed. The owner who does everything with the help of his robot was friendly, engaging and happy to recommend dishes and wines. The food was fresh, cooked to order and delicious. If you want Indian food in Benalmadena you won’t go wrong here!

Stumbled across this excellent Indian restaurant and decided to give it a try... Raju was particularly welcoming and the whole place was very well presented. Our meals were exactly as ordered and, for my two friends who are unfamiliar with the wonders of Curry, most enjoyable. Prices were reasonable and we left feeling content, agreeing to return soon!

What a fantastic experience. Our engaging host and his waitress, Manuela, were perfect from the get go. His wine selection and humour were brilliant as was his spicing of my madras. Usually these are fire pits and nothing else. This was beautifully seasoned and spiced and I could taste every bite. Thank you for a great evening.

Fantastic place. Lovely atmosphere. Couldn't fault the service of the owner, who was also the chef. Food was fantastic and definitely recommend a visit to this curry house.

The overall experience was so far the best thing that happened to me throughout my visit here in Spain!! The food was great, (slightly too big amounts for me but that’s beside the point) me and the two of my moms loved it. My moms both got the paneer tikka masala each and I went for the same option but with chicken. We also got butter nan and garlic nan for the leftover sauce. It was simply amazing, the nan was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, the chicken basically melted in my mouth and don’t get me started on that wonderful tomato sauce. For dessert we tried the homemade ice cream, both mango and pistachio. Those are extraordinary!! The owner was extremely friendly and we had absolutely no problems with communication. The interior of the restaurant was gorgeous, my personal favorite was the colorful light in the background of almost every object hanged on the wall. The music was calm and subtle, not distracting any of us from our conversation yet an important nice touch to the already pleasant atmosphere. 10/10 would definitely come again if given the chance!

Great food, service, price and atmosphere, jazz plays on in the background, staff are friendly and helpful. My meal was served quickly it tasted divine. Dine in the restaurant or outside. Takeaway service is available, other places to eat and drink are nearby. Tripadvisor has awarded this restaurant for its excellence.

We always love coming here! Right in front of the beach, it has such a great vibe whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just drinks. It’s pet-friendly (they always bring water for our dog), and the staff make us feel at home every time. Generous portions, amazing service, and delicious food – one of our favorite spots!

We attended an event there on Saturday afternoon. The staff were great couldnt do enough for us and handled the large crowd really well with no long queues for drinks or waits for food. Great bar all round.

Perhaps I'm being a tad generous, but the service is so excellent I cannot help giving them a slight extra point. Very nice place with biljard table, lots of space and very good prices. But again, to me the service... That's the 5/5

Ordered cod and chips for €17 euros and was a large size plate. Unfortunately got 11 large bones in first few bites so had to stop eating it. Had to get attention of waitress who really didn't want to know, asked to speak to manager. Manager seemed surprised by my complaint as he said they don't take the bones out. I said if I'd known I would not have ordered as could easily get bone stuck in throat as they were very large. Should be a warning on menu. He reluctantly said would only charge me for the chips. Didn't seem bothered and I think they have enough new customers each week that arrive here on holiday to know others will come. Staff don't seem happy and this will be last time we come here. We are back in Benalmadena in June so he's lost our custom!

Our party of 5 stopped off for some cocktails tonight on our way home from dinner and back to our hotel. The place was relatively quiet, only about 10 others. We ordered our drinks from a male waiter and also asked him to fill up the baby's sippy cup with water. We waited over 30 minutes for our drinks to be brought to us. A female waitress dropped down 3 drinks by practically slapping them off the table and then 10 minutes later the male who took the drinks order brought back the other 2 drinks. We reminded him of the baby's water we asked for and he went off to get that as he had forgotten. It took him another 5 minutes to bring it back. We drank up our drinks and I went to the counter to pay, checked my bill after he printed it out and he openly sighed and muttered under his breath when I checked it before paying. Our overall experience tonight is that the waiting staff are really slow and extremely rude, they made us feel like we were a nuisance or that they'd rather be anywhere but working there. Not an enjoyable experience for our last holiday drinks before heading home. Would not recommend

Went in to watch the football and have a evening meal. I stupidly ordered the large portion size burger. I didn't know that the meals were large portions anyway. I only ended up eating two of the burgers and couldn't eat any of the chips, bun or coleslaw. So to sum up the food was ok and I should read the menu properly

Was there on Thursday 9th of October. 1st drink was €4 handed over €10 and got €2 change. 2nd guy serving was ok and was the correct money. 3rd pint was the 1st guy again with brown curly hair. Handed over $5 and no change given. Will not drink here again.

Don’t be deceived if this place is empty - they are lovely and friendly and the tapas are tasty! Even this Dutch couple that were sitting there as we were contemplating to eat there, went out of their way to tell us that the food was good. We went with the 6 tapas of our choice with a bottle of house wine for €17,90. I must say it was a pretty decent meal: • calamari • ribs • chicken with thyme • potato wedges (no photo I’m afraid but they were hot and crisp!) • prawns in spicy chilli oil • chorizo and white beans • bottle of white wine that was easy drinking It was all very delicious and I would happily go again for lunch or dinner. Also watching the waiter with the customers, he was very friendly and gave them his time and remembered all the regulars that had returned - good service ✅ If you are also wondering how to get there, go up the stairs and yes you’ll bump into the next door restaurant, The Drunken Sailor but then the Panorama is just next door. ENJOY! 😎

It was really tasty tapas and second courses for reaaonable price. Definetely would come back! 😋

My wife Sarah and I visited on several occasions as the food that we experienced was outstanding and the hosting by owners Peter and Cynthia was first class . We had a variety of dishes and also when we popped in for a couple of beers in the afternoon either Peter or Cynthia would surprise us with a little complementary extra (a small free taster of tapas) On one occasion we ordered to have a paella for the following evening (this allowing for the produce to be fresh) when it arrived it looked amazing and the taste was sensational---the best paella my wife and I have ever experienced there was actually enough for 4 people. I would recommend for people to visit and experience the food and exceptional hosting. Hopefully we will be returning in September and will definitely be paying a visit to the Panorama.

Four of us visited this afternoon. Six tapas and two bottles of wine under €40. Great food and great service from Cynthia and her husband. It's up on a terrace with a really nice vista. Well worth a little effort to find it. Hidden gem.

We visited this place before covid and loved it. Just been again tonight and it was as good if not better. We got the six tapas meals with a bottle of wine and it was fab. Food delicious and a decent red wine. Very friendly service. Can't wait to go back!!!!!!

This was such a fun find for our family. This restaurant is owned by a Belgium couple, so they have a mix of Spanish food, and some of their local dishes. They are very welcoming and created a feeling that this restaurant is definitely a small, family owned establishment. The view wasn't as good as what we hoped for, but the food and environment made up for it plenty. All of our food was amazing but the shrimp pil-pil which was some of the best shrimp we have EVER had. The food is all fresh, and well prepared. In the middle of an area full of restaurants trying to pull in tourists, is this family owned restaurant that is definitely worth the visit

Great food My husband and I have tried something different from the menu each time we visited and have never been disappointed. Food is presented extremely well and 2 course lunch menu excellent and value for money. The hosts are extremely friendly and make everyone feel welcome. One of our favourite places to eat! Grandad always enjoys himself!!

Wonderfull and delicious food. Very fresh. Great place to go with the fam and friends.

We've eaten previously at the Los Mellozos down on the sea front, and stumbled across this little treasure tucked away up past the Aroyo.. A really busy jaunt with the locals serving excellent seafoods.. 4 of us dining, 2 adults + 2 children, enjoyed a light selection of starters + a paella for 2 to share, excellent flavours which we thoroughly enjoyed, then spotted other tables with the sweets, they were huge! So we just had to indulge 😀.. great value meal all round, excellent quality, topped with excellent service 😎

Very delicious but you might have to plan extra time finding park slot and waiting table there.

Heaven on earth. We have been so lucky to discover this place, specially it was the last day of our holiday. This makes a lovely memory. Even the restaurant is a very busy one and in weekend you kind of need to have a booking the personal made possible to find us a table. It's a place who hosts more than 200 people but the food came just in about 5 minutes after we order it. Service more than 5* and cleaning the same. We glad to eat here,thank you very much for your food and kindness.

One of the best eight restaurants Los Mellizos in the south of Andalusia near Marbella. Restaurants are located in the area where it's hard to find parking for a car, especially during the working hours, but the guy in front of the restaurant will park your vehicle for you. The restaurant has the biggest choice of different types of fish and seafood I have ever seen. All fresh just from the sea will be cooked and brought for you by friendly staff. Absolutely amazing place with delicious food. Reasonable prices and quick service. Highly recommended 👍🏻

This restaurant came recommended by guides. The venue is gorgeous sitting across from the ocean it’s picture perfect. We tried the grilled sardines and shrimp to start and then ordered the 3 whole dorada fish for our main course. Our waiter was an older guy, he did not speak English so communication with him was difficult. We enjoyed some drinks and the view, the meal was mediocre, the shrimp was the best.

Fast food, good quality, good prices. 👍 Give it a try but book in advance, limited street parking. Check out the photos, May help u to decide. There is a Tapas bar on the right as as u enter.

Jose was amazing, he was attentive and was even helping us with our Spanish. Food was amazing, we were not rushed. Lovely wine and great prices. This is our second time here after coming last year. Will return again.

Wonderful as always. Food, service….everything 10/10 Today I took the rosada with chips(instead of salad) and a bottle of beer for late lunch and was delicious, fresh and perfect. The people here make you always feel that you are spending nice time with good old friends. Thanks 🙏

We visited here on Saturday evening as a group of 5 ladies and had a beautiful meal with lovely wine, however the service could be improved. The restaurant was full of locals/Spaniards (minus us), which is always a sign of the food being great - which it was! The tenderloin especially was stunning and melt in the mouth and the gambas pil pil and fresh bread with garlic butter was gorgeous. The maître d' started off a little cold but warmed up throughout, and a waiter who brought our drinks was more friendly, but our main waitress was unwelcoming from the beginning, at points rolling her eyes and generally acting like she didn’t want to be there (towards us, anyway). It didn’t ruin our meal and the food was lovely, but it could have been exquisite. I would recommend based on the food and atmosphere, and hope we were just unlucky with the service this time. Would recommend booking!

The meat is excellent, very well prepared and high quality. Jose who was in charge of our table was very kind, helpful and gave us great recommendation with local red wine.

An amazing evening with the family at Restaurante Asador Ruta del Ibérico! The food was amazing and the service was superb. Our waiter Jose really looked after us and gave us his recommendations (which were amazing). Jose made the experience extra special! Thank you :)

I love the food here, it was very tasty and salad was fresh! The service is very professional, quick and friendly. Recommend it!!!! You will definitely enjoy 😍

Fabulous service from Jose. Nothing was too much trouble. Great restaurant for couples or family & friends. Superb wine choice.

I celebrated my birthday there and it was an ideal event. The venue is amazing at the sunset, and it has a really nice vibe. Our manager, Alex, was a great host and helped us a lot with everything. Big thank you to him and the team of the Blankko. I'm sure we will be back.

I was lucky to be invited to a party in this restaurant but we also had dinner there so I got to taste A LOT of what is on the menu. I highly recommend it. The prices are really reasonable for great great quality food, crafted with love and the service is superb. Bravo!

I hope to go. But recently I shot a drone video of this area and it looks pretty special. Unfortunately Google Spain doesn’t allow links or mention of the well know video channel. Try searching using Torremuelle & DocksideGlyn.

Only a family owned business can offer such attention to details and care in both food and service. We had a lovely time, lovely food and lovely memories. Highly recommended

The food was nice but having to view the menu from scanning the code on your phone not what I expected from a restaurant like this . It was awkward as well as waiter didn’t understand what we were ordering . Service was poor , slow not attentive and often sounding rude and abrupt making us feel uncomfortable. No atmosphere at all lot of empty space in the place . Nice sunset though whilst eating dinner.

Faulty Towers!!! The owner is so rude it's comical, we talked about it for days 🤣 Just take a look at his responses to negative reviews! The staff are truly terrified, as was I! It's a pretty place, but in need of some TLC. Might return just for the fun of it!

Fantastic restaurant ! Delicious food, amazing views and super friendly staff!

The food tonight was absolutely delicious! Unique and creative dishes. I've never had calamari this tasty before, perfectly breaded with panko and Cajun spices, truly special. The location is super peaceful, set on a beautiful little square surrounded by palm trees. Friendly staff and fair prices. Highly recommended!

Tasty tapas, I ordered falafel, camembert with cranberries. Sangria wasn't too strong. Place is nice and cozy for late evening or night.

What a lovely bar with great service. We arrived late on in the day around 5pm there was plenty sat outside such a nice atmosphere of families and couples. We ordered just drinks with some olives and bread - absolutely perfect wish we had eaten here. We will be returning

John was great, he gave us suggestions for things to do around the area. Food was delicious and we got serenaded by a local student band.

Amazing place for dinner! In the beautiful place. Service is really good, food came fast. Staff is nice and friendly, speaks english. Has vegetarian menu! I would recommend.

Ordered two drinks,it took 20 mins to arrive,and it was'nt that busy. We had chicken manchego and sirloin steak. Chicken was not good,deep fried and still had pink and red bits in the middle. Husbands steak was just ok, but really really fatty. When we asked for the bill they didnt ask if the food was ok. Pretty poor customer service. Inside is gastly. Looks like its used for storage. Toilets just about passable. Would not reccomend.

Superb place to eat.. everybody did there best for us,thank you

The food was perfect, gulash was the best 😍so the Gulash served with fries I think rice or potato it’s better. We had beef, chorizo and ceaser salad. All the tapas was perfect. Service was super nice and sweet 😍 the Ambiente it’s ok, the terrace is not stylish but the food let me forget this 😂 I come back, thank you for the dinner 🙏🏻

Very nice place, great atmosphere and service. People are coming back there, full booking and difficult to get a table without booking. Tasty food, local like tapas but also "traditional" fast food but with great ingridients 🤭 I really recommend it, gives a feeling of belonging. Worth visiting.

Fantastic tapas. Service was great and food tasty and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend this place.

Absolutely delicious tapas, cosy intimate atmosphere, friendly staff and unbelievable value for money. Everything we had was amazing. We had a lot of tapas, 2 kids meals and 2 rounds of drinks a d it was €104. We actually thought this was an error but told nope, all correct. It is a must if you're in Benalmadena.

10/10 highly recommend everything was amazing, service fab! Will be back

Great little find. Found this via Google and really enjoyed it. The place has a sea view and choice of seating indoor and outdoor. The food was all so fresh and tasty with our party choosing a variety of tapas, salads and the hanging kebab. The portions were large with lots of chips, but the food was still fresh and very tasty. It was also prepared quickly and you could see into the kitchen where it was being made which was nice. The puddings were also suburb with the chocolate brownies a hit all round. Very reasonable prices too. A wonderful evening all round. :)

For our wedding anniversary went here for tapas lunch, called by to reserve table. Perfect 👌, highly recommended on here/on TripAdvisor by guests who stayed at our hotel. See photos of food/bill, inc free bread. Looking forward to returning. Congratulations to chef tapas delicious, lovely staff, loved it! Subtle music on stereo very relaxing. A bonus a sea view, happy holidays 😎 (nice toilets)

Top class service also speaking perfect English. Asked for recommendation and chose one Venezuelan dish and one Uruguayan dish. Was a lot of food for two. Got stuffed and was very satisfied with the tasty food. Also the beer was delicious. Well worth the money!

Great tasty food and portions are decent, also it isn't expensive at all. But most of all the service is top of the top, our waiter made us feel at home, and after our second visit we were allowed to say Hello to the Chef and to say thank you! we enjoyed every moment there! Should we ever return to Benalmadena, we'll certainly come back here!!

Stunning food!! Boyfriend said it was the best steak he has ever had, and my Neapolitan Milanese chicken was fantastic!! Such good service too!

Lovely Venezuelan family run restaurant, the food is great from snack food if you’re after something smaller to substantial meals - all superb! Great relaxed atmosphere and lovely family - still as good as our first time visiting 2 1/2 years ago 👍

Fantastic food and service. So good that we went here twice on our week's stay. I had the vacuum (vecio) steak, delicious flank steak, cooked perfectly both times and comes with chorizo. Great value for money, lovely waiters and a perfect experience. You will not get a better steak in Benalmadena. Thank you Pochos.

What an amazing place, the food was incredible, with authentic Venezuelan flavors. The Pabellón Criollo is to die for. We’re coming back for sure, so many menu options we want to try.

This was our second visit (first was in March 2017) and we went as we had liked it the first time. Late lunch/early dinner on a Sunday. Some locals drinking beer. We had tequenos, gambas pil pil (prawns with garlic + chilli), pulpo a la gallega (octopus) and drank red wine and then rum. Great food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Also has Venezuelan dishes...

Risotto? Fantastic! Views? Iconic. Service? Friendly. This is now my favorites list as all checks out. As a gluten free person, the menu was easy to navigate

I trully love this place! The atmosphere and the ocean views are amazing! Really good service, good vibes, nice and chill music, perfect spot just in front of the beach to relax with a nice glass of wine. The food is really fresh as well! I highly recommend to try the grilled octopus!

Food is creative and tasty. But the place itself is sooo romantic, you can here and see waves crushing down on the shore. This place is magic.

After many years of great experiences this time it wasn't... it became worse over the years. We had asked for a nice table as we had something to celebrate, unfortunately there was some wind/rain so we couldn't sit outside. Instead of a nice table to see the sunset we were in a corner and this was also the problem with the service. We have been there for 2 hours, just for starter and main course. Waiting for 20 minutes each time to order some drinks as the waiters didn't pay attention. After we finished our mains we waited 40 minutes to take our empty plates. This didn't happen and we decided to walk to the counter to pay our bill. The prices are very high compared to Spanish standards, the food is good but the services and ambiance (inside) is not worth the money. Very very unfortunate as this was our favorite restaurant.

Food and service is excellent, and the view is breathtaking. Would book ahead and request a table outside with see view.

Awesome atmosphere 🧡🥰 Great food. And we had wedding here last year 🤗😘

SO delicious food, nice staff and the most beautiful atmosphere and view. Definitely coming again ❤️‍🔥

Nice place, nice music and good atmosphere .

I saw it being advertised on Facebook and liked how it’s situated - it has a great view over the beach . Its more of an open air pub with loud music than a place to chill unfortunately. The worst thing about this place is that they literally have 4 cocktails on the menu and they aren’t even good and are served in a plastic cup….

Always a great spot to finish a day at the beach with great atmosphere, wide selection of drinks and cocktails, DJ and great views.

nice vibe, great views, authentic place and chill music so you still can have conversations. would recommend

A really enjoyable and uniquely positioned beach bar. Above a steep cliff, with breathtaking seaview, mellow electonic music, affordable prices for cocktails (having a Mojito, but will be back to try out more), Gecko is a true gem of the area.

This is a bar for retired and old people. No one here is under 50. This is not a place where you dance, it's just background music for chatting, so if you're looking to have fun this is not the bar for you.

Fantastic atmosphere, staff are friendly and a nice chilled vibe while overlooking the beach. From families to dogs this place is open to all. Recommended to everyone!

Absolutely lovely spot. Guys here are so friendly, great atmosphere, great craic and amazing drinks. Make sure to try the "Don Isabella" Rosé. Absolutely spectacular!!

Just had one pint of Guinness in this Irish theme pub. It was family friendly and comfortable. The Guinness was excellent. And good value, I could have stayed for more!

Great Irish bar beer prices are cheaper than others, lots of TVs showing sports, great bar staff always friendly.

WEDDING AFTER PARTY We just wanted to extend our sincere thanks for making our wedding after party one of the absolute highlights of our celebrations. From start to finish, everything was outstanding, the music, the dancers, the service, and the food were all exceptional. The venue was perfect, and every one of our guests loved the atmosphere and experience. A very special thank you as well to Tulio, who organized the music and dancers for both our wedding day and our after party. He was truly exceptional. If anyone is ever looking for someone to arrange musicians or coordinate entertainment for events, we would highly recommend him without hesitation. Ludi the manager at The Irish time , we cannot thank you and the entire team enough for the fantastic experience you provided yesterday. Your hard work and attention to detail made the evening unforgettable for us and for all our guests. We are already looking forward to visiting again when we return. Thank you once again for everything. Best regards, J & G

Lovely food but service is a bit slow, only had two staff on when we visited. Kids food was the best we had and pizza was lovely along with the nachos. So worth the wait. Prices are reasonable.

Worst & most expensive sangria we had in Benalmádena. All the pints looked fine though and decent atmosphere.

Lovely place and the owner is great and fantastic but also the employes where fantastic and thanks to Ludde that we got to know there great swedish bloke.

As others have said nice bar with good atmosphere and service, we will be back

Best pub in Benalmadena ♥️ Highly recommended! I spent a month in Benalmadena with my wife and kids and we went to Buddy's almost every day for a drink. Shane & Harvey are super friendly and they always received us with open arms. Further, the athmosphere at Buddy's is really relaxing, so we ignored the the busy overpriced tourist trap bars at Puerto Marina.

Quiet chilled out place. Excellent staff. Four years since my last visit and even better. Even celebrated my return on working behind the bar albeit for twenty seconds. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the marina. Great value and great host.

Great location and value. Staff are 2nd to none! Shane and Harvey are brilliant craic and 2 absolute gents.

This bar is a must visit! Shane is a great host ! you may arrive knowing no one you'll leave as friend. I really enjoyed the fantastic atmosphere generated by a great team Shane, Niamh. Sebastian will do all to make you feel welcome! There's a real sense of community. The value and quality of drinks is brilliant . Cheers........ Salud! Enjoy.

Great selection of drinks served by attention, friendliness owner and staff. Well worth a visit.

Shane is the best barman in benalmadena. Highly recommend this place. Been going back year after year since 2009

The location is amazing, and the quality of the cocktails is also great. The food was fantastic, but the overall service let down the experience. We went here three during our trip and on all occasions the waiters were not very attentive or organised. As I said, everything else was great.

Great service excellent food. Been there a few times and the cocktails are delicious

Cool bar next to marina where you can sit watching the world go by while sipping your favorite tipple or eat freshly prepared food my favorite bar thus holiday.

Nice location but very slow service, and didn’t get what I ordered. Another tourist trap

Went in on the 1st July. It was great. Fantastic music and atmosphere. So we went back on the 6th. What a difference. Music was still great. But service was really bad. Girl with beads in her hair was serving us like she was doing us a favour. But we still gave her a tip. Everyone sometimes has a bad day. But we asked for another drink and was completely ignored. We spent up of €150 on the first night. So not going back there. 🤬 not happy

Atmosphere is very nice and cocktails are amazing. Best around

If you’re looking for a good cocktail that tastes as good as it looks and has alcohol in the ingredients avoid !!!! Far far better to go el mico staff more friendly and the cocktails were made using spirits not just sugar syrup Go for a beer avoid cocktails

What a fantastic beach bar with the most incredible views. The service was outstanding, but sadly, some of the food let them down badly. Our starters were yummy, and the men enjoyed their burgers. I had the grilled kingclip, which was like rubber. I tried to give it to the men who said it was like chewing a tyre. Such a pity. The cocktails were amazing, and my Margaita's were nice and strong, just the way I like them. Of course, a trip to the bathroom was needed, and again, it could do with some attention. The restroom cleanliness missed the mark, especially with something as basic as soap, hand drying equipment, and dry floors. There is the most gorgeous sea shell 🐚 water dispensing unit, which made up for the poor facilities.

I recently attended a party at Malibu Beach Bar in Benalmádena after a baptism, and it was fantastic. The staff were extremely nice and professional, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the food was excellent. The view was absolutely stunning, a perfect setting for a special celebration. Highly recommend!

This is one of the few restaurants/bars next to the ocean, it’s more like for tourists. I was needing a shadow to sit down for a drink and avoid the big sun, either walking back or forth to another restaurant will take me 10 minutes. So i stopped by here before I got hit by a sun stroke. I play a save game by ordering just nuggets and fries🙈 and a Spanish drink suppose to be wine+sparkling mix but they provide a pre-made bottle instead. It’s ok, nothing special and not too bad.

Usually I don’t leave the reviews, but i must to do for this bar crew - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - yes 10 stars service! They are just FLYING around the tables! Great service! Hats down! And my beer mug is always over the line! Much respect for a bartender as well!💥

Wonderful location just above the beach with a lovely view. Unfortunately, not matched by the food or service. Four of us eating. My wife's food arrives, she waits expecting everyone else's to come. After 5 minutes, we tell her to eat before her food gets too cold. Then, after we call a waiter over, 2 more plates arrive, and a few minutes later, my daughter's. It was as if we were having 3 separate meals, with one of us finishing, then two more, then the last. The waiters were pleasant enough, but they were badly let down by the kitchen, leaving the overall service quality as quite poor. We had burgers and rosado fish. The rosado was fine, the burgers undercooked with tiny portions of chips. We won't come back. Shame as the location is amazing.

Such a lovely view and the cocktails were delicious. Just some constructive feedback, the staff could just be a tad more attentive on ordering, as it did take quite a while to order drinks and get the bill.

I really enjoyed my coffee and virgin mojito in there and have been buying drinks multiple times during my stay. BUT there is one female staff member of all, which has long hair that wasn't nice at all and gave me the feeling as if she did not want to serve me (multiple types). Other non Spanish people had the same experience. For that - 3 Stars

When we leave the marina and go anti clockwise to the taxi rank this bar is always the last we come across.We,ve seen some changes over the years but now they have raised the seating area to street level.With the marina being so busy this bar can be a little quiet, perfect for us.Its such a great looking bar with good friendly service,pool table,sport on TV.plenty of seating on different levels and the big wheel just metres away.Just visited the Forever Beach Bar and again(2024)and it just draws you in.It has a nice cosy feel to it,and it has new seating throughout.Theyve gone for a whicker type chair with a thin cushion which aren't that comfortable.The service is great with plenty of waiters to help out,good choice of drinks,good prices and views over the main road.The bar was busy with mainly older people enjoying the music,chatting and just watching people making there way home.There are different levels to this bar especially getting to the toilets so watch your step.

Fantastic spot, seats super comfy on the terrace. We managed to try most of the cocktail menu between 2 people in 2 days 😅 the waitress was a star!

We had lunch here. This place has a great location, right next to the beach. We had pizza and chicken burrito. I was satisfied with burrito and fries, but husband not so much with pizza, said it was bit tasteless. It was too hot outside and it would have been nice to have some fan system, so we didn't enjoy as much we hoped.

Great value food, beautiful ambience. Only problem it has like most restaurants in the area is people pushing too hard to get you in. We will always make our own decision. Don't let this put off what is a good venue.

Nice place, outside seating and indoors, great for people watching, very pleasant staff. Toilets very clean and smell great(airfreshener), so the wife tells me. All in all a nice place to have a relaxing time and drink.

Such a lovely place to be. The gentleman greeted us, talked and was so friendly. Food was amazing hats of to the chef he's very good. As for the waitress always on her feet and a sweet person. Location perfect right by the beach and plays cool music. They have a small simple menu but very worth it with good pricing as well. Definitely recommend to everyone. When we went the had happy hour beers,wines and cocktails. 5 star cocktail.

Been looking for a good terrace like this one! Just opened yet not one to be missed! If you prefer a beautiful terrace where you feet don't stick on floor,amazing design and great drink+Shisha!Football?!...This the spot!

It’s barely possible not to have a great time, sat in full sun on a busy buzzing terrace. On holiday. Beer was good and cold. Beef nachos v v lovely. Toastie ham and cheese for £3.50 great value and lovely too. Clean toilets. Funky seating areas. Have deducted one star as the waiter did not speak one word to us or smile or give any eye contact whatsoever throughout the the entire service. To be fair it was vv busy. We are 50+ warm friendly Yorkshire folk but he was having none of it. The longest he stayed was when I paid the bill and it felt like he hung around just long enough to maybe get a tip. We tend to leave something in the 5-10 euros range but only for good service. On this occasions zero euros. We love the place and actually over the years have seen this fella as a challenge and seen the funny side of it. Certainly will not stop us making this a must visit in our many trips to the region. The location and ambiance is insanely good.

This is cool enough. Service really good. Prices are excellent, great place to do drinks for tight little penny. Nothing special though. Just one in the crowd, perhaps slightly better than all the rest along the beach.

Cheeseburger Mega Burger Prawn Filo Starter Fries 1 beer & 3 waters, €49 Food was good, Staff were polite, nice little spot on the beach Would go again!

Nice beach bar. Very chilled vibes. Cocktails are amazing! We only had drinks here.

Best beach bar in benalmadena by far. Food is amazing & great cocktails Loved Danny, Fran and Raul made us so welcome every visit ❤️

They called it “espresso”. I asked for a new. The picture is of the second serving. It was like coffee in a miniature glass. They use way to little coffee. Don’t go here for what the “create” like food, coffee, etc. Go here for the atmosphere.

A bit of a strange start as it says on Google open from 8PM, there was a few people waiting so we joined the line. We had messaged the Facebook page to reserve a table which we finally got an answer to and we're told had to be there by 9:30 which we were much earlier for but the owner arrived about 8:15 said we don't open till 9 come back then, which wasn't the warm welcome we were expecting. We went back for it opening and it's such a weird little walkway down into the bar. When you walk in it is very dark and dated really is in need of TLC, we weren't asked once if we had a table reserved so was a bit of a free for all but we managed to get a table no problem. The man coming round taking the orders for the bar was very friendly and efficient. The entertainment was very late in starting as said we are still waiting on folk coming in which is hardly fair on the ones who were there on time. Think it was a bit of a scam for people to buy more drinks as it was so warm in there. If we weren't there for entertainment we'd have left after one drink. Thankfully the entertainment started and it was fantastic, I would highly recomend seeing dragtastic but maybe would be a better experience in a better venue

Awesome night watching the drag act, proper decent friendly staff that couldn't do enough for us, the nights entertainment was free, we didn't eat but the hot plates looked appealing 😊

Great place for dancing and meeting friends. Excellent musical acts. I will return soon.

Doesn't look like much( no disrespect meant)but what you get is a great night's entertainment & that is all that matters. We were virtually the last group to leave which says a lot .

If I could score it 100 out of ten I would. The bar itself is very reasonably priced. And the acts are fantastic. What sets it apart is it's two young owners. They very obviously put everything into the running of this place, they got everyone up and moving and created the best night. In short this is a charming place run by absolutely special people. Well worth the visit.

Owners are wonderful hosts the hotplate food is lovely. Great night out for all ages including the kids in benalmadena.

Fantastic venue, lovely staff who offer table service, very clean venue and the best acts on the costa ... it's a must go 2 venue the best acts for me was the Jersey boys and dragtastic keep up the fabulous work seen u again soon

Sadness is my name… do you feel like you are having a great night? Then this is the place for you! The sad songs the horrible karaoke singers will take away your will for party and you will be heading straight to bed, I loved the menu, it had better days and the cocktails… yummy! A clear reflection of the beaten menu, I loved this place is so bad that is good!

Thank you so much to all the staff for making my daughter and her friend feel so welcome. They are both 8 years old and were up doing karaoke (probably too much) and the staff there were brilliant with them both. Thank you aswell to everyone in there on the Wednesday for really cheering the girls on, they both loved it and will remember that night forever. I still think my daughter left her jacket there on purpose so we would definitely return on the Thursday night before we had to come home. The 'Slay Queens' will be back one day

Fantastic karaoke bar. The owners and staff are wonderful lovely people. It is very clean, the bar is well stocked, prices are reasonable, everything is great. Cheers 🍻

Lovely place / friendly DJ & staff members - good vibes all round. Will be back soon

Great karaoke bar with top staff. Mostly resident clientele, very welcoming, friendly and Callum was a great host 😎

Great night. Friendly staff, very fair prices and a great laugh. Brilliant.

We had the best night ever. 7 of us for a hen do..never known such friendly staff. We felt like we had known them for ever.

Not sure who this is aimed at, letting my 8 year old daughter go in felt like fun, and it was, apart from the frozen sex bed and hidden sculptures on the walls. The service was as cold as the room. The drinks were shocking, paid extra for an alcoholic drink, and got the same as my kid, so I don't know if she got drunk or I got ripped off.

It was so funny when we went in... it is great to do if you haven't done it before... but i dont think i will be doing it again, as it is a one time think.... It was great fun... for €10 you get one shot, one cocktail and entery in with the big throw over they give you when going in... waaahaaaa I would recommend it to anyone

Didn’t go into venue just had 2 gin and tonics and a glass of 7up - very pushy type of a guy, handed him 20e the bill should have been 17e no change to be seen. T spoon of gin in the gin and ‘tonics’ which tasted more like lemonade. Would not recommend (unless you want a photo with Big Foot!).

An absolute disgrace of an individual who worked behind the counter, upon going in to ask what it’s like inside the person who worked their insisted on paying before answering any questions & when I asked could we see a Quick Look inside or see some photos he snapped and shouted “never mind that” and shoved a card machine at my mate to pay. Think we wouldn’t leave a review to tell others eh? I very promptly pushed my mates out and left clearly the guys got a rubbish room with a small AC on and some crappy jackets.

Very pushy guy barely any gin in the gin and tonic 2x g and tonics plus a glass of 7 up 17e. 20e handed no change was given. Didn’t go into the ice bar glad we stayed outside. Wouldn’t recommend.

Not worth the money at all. „Included drink” was orange squash with two drops vodka in it. After we left I realised that they charged us €25 for two entries instead of €24.

Very funny experience with family, it was pretty basic and definitely wasn't a cocktail but we were going to see what it was like and was nice and cold in the heat

Disgusting, heartless behaviour! My girlfriend and I have been going to this beach occasionally for a few years. We both enjoy nudist beaches, we like the non-judgmental feeling of freedom that comes with being totally nude in nature. We went there yesterday, both excited about going. We arrived, got set up, and I immediately got naked. My girlfriend, however, was on her period and feeling particularly vulnerable that day. She needed some time to feel comfortable before removing all her clothes. After only five minutes, a woman came over and told my girlfriend she had to remove her clothes. I asked her to wait, and she left. Shortly after, a few more women came over with the same demand. My girlfriend started crying, and it didn’t seem to concern them. Then something very strange happened. People behind us started clapping slowly, one by one. An old man even stood in front of us, smiling while clapping. They would have seen that my girlfriend was upset, but it didn’t stop them. We immediately got up and left. This was such an awful, horrifying experience. There was no sympathy for others’ feelings, just rigid dogma prevailing over human decency. These people are supposed to be progressive and open-minded. What a deep shame! My girlfriend and I both fully enjoy nudism, but these regulars could not just patiently mind their own business. A disgrace. Any regulars who are not like this, please speak out or refuse to go to this place. Don’t associate yourselves with this behaviour.

Writing this as I lay here for the 2nd time. Love the secluded beach between the rocks and the vibes are lovely. Very chill tropical vibe with green surrounding and relaxed music at the bar. Friendly staff and visitors also. Very warm energy and open energy. If you’re into nude tanning, have a free spirit and want to enjoy life (with this community), then you’re at the right place. They also have toilets and showers. Haven’t tried the food but as a vegan I won’t try much anyway lol. Easy to reach with public transport and car. Very accessible. 2 min walk from the main street (and yet so private and secluded, love it). Overall the BEST nudist beach I’ve seen (in Malaga and in the Netherlands). Will always come back here.

Absolutely a gem of a place great facilities and a nice kiosk if you like the beach au natural this is definitely for you

Small very crowdy beach with busy bar (nude only). Read signs and if you don't like it go elsewhere. Good food and ice-cream for not bad price considering location.

full of disgusting half men , ruined the natural nudist beach atmosphere like most beaches near malaga

Great ambience, beautiful nature, nice people, good chiringuito. When busy, you may have to wait long for being served. Note that it's a naturist place, no clothes or swimming suits are allowed.

Excellent naturist beach in Benalmadena. It's cosy and isolated, a little taste of paradise. It's fairly small but that's ok. There's an onsite bar with food and everyone's lovely and friendly. There are rocks in the sea but they can be easily avoided so it's not a problem unless the sea is really choppy. Can't wait to go back!

Relax

(Translated by Google) A beach for dogs, but very rocky, for winter and walking it is ideal to let yourself be carried away by the sound of the waves (Original) Una playa para perros, pero muy rocosa, para invierno y pasear es ideal dejarte llevar por el sonido de las olas

(Translated by Google) This is the beach that the city council has enabled for dogs, calling it Benalcan. I had read a lot of negative reviews and I think the people are too exquisite. Some complained about the access, and I think it's pretty good. You have to walk a bit, which may be what bothers some. It is best to park on the road, at the height of the lighthouse, and go down through the access enabled for this. The coves are very beautiful. It is infinitely better than those in Marbella, and compared to Fuengirola, it also offers very important advantages. The first is not to have the Mijas border police watching over your dog crossing the line. The second is that you do not have the risk of the dog climbing onto the road, as can happen in Fuengirola. If there is one thing that is true about the criticism, it is that the canine and human showers do not work yet, but I suppose they will be enabled for the summer. (Original) Esta es la playa que el ayuntamiento ha habilitado para perros, llamándola Benalcan. Había leído muchas críticas negativas y pienso que la gente es demasiado exquisita. Algunos se quejaban del acceso, y considero que es bastante bueno. Hay que andar un poco que quizás es lo que molesta a algunos. Lo mejor es aparcar en la carretera, a la altura del faro, y bajar por el acceso habilitado para ello. Las calas son muy bonitas. Está infinitamente mejor que las de Marbella, y con respecto a la de Fuengirola, también ofrece ventajas muy importantes. La primera, es no tener a la policía de fronteras de Mijas vigilando que tu perro cruce la línea. La segunda es que no tienes el riesgo de que el perro trepe a la carretera, como puede pasar en Fuengirola. Si hay una cosa cierta de las críticas y es que las duchas caninas y humanas no funcionan todavía, pero supongo que estarán habilitadas para el verano.

(Translated by Google) A marvel. The most beautiful for me. Shells to infinity, calm and clean sea. Ideal for relaxing and disconnecting. (Original) Una meraviglia. La piu bella per me. Conchiglie all'infinito,mare calmo e pulito. Ideale per rilassarsi e disconnettere.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, a haven of peace and tranquility between bustling Fuengirola and Benalmadrna (Original) Precioso lugar, un remanso de paz y tranquilidad entre la bulliciosa Fuengirola y Benalmadrna

(Translated by Google) Coves with very quiet rocky beaches ideal for diving, good communication (Original) Calas de playas muy tranquilas rocosas ideales para el buzeo, buena comunicación

(Translated by Google) Too small, with lots of rocks. You have to be very lucky to get regular parking. The descent to the beach is down some long stairs, meaning it's not possible for elderly people or those in wheelchairs. (Original) Demasiado pequeña, con muchas rocas. El aparcamiento regular tienes que tener mucha suerte. La bajada a la playa es por unas escaleras interminables, es decir, con personas mayores o en silla de ruedas no es posible bajar.
