MedPlaya Hotel Alba Beach (Benalmadena, Spain)

A standout feature of this location is the hotel’s proximity to the beach. Located on Costa del Sola, the hotel’s entrance is just 50 metres from the beach, allowing guests to quickly hit the sands and soak up some sun.

Guests are quick to point out their affection for the staff at Medplaya Balmoral. Guests call the staff “lovely” and indicate that they are always quick to help and fulfill room requests. Also, a couple of guests made it a point to remark that the staff here all speak English.

Most guests report satisfaction with the state of cleanliness of the rooms at this destination. You should feel comfortable upon arriving and able to enjoy the rest of your stay without being concerned with any undue dirt and grime.

Guests complain that the lifts at this location are too small, making it harder to get around the hotel’s seven floors without either waiting or taking the stairs, the latter of which is not always an option for all people.

Guests report that the complimentary Wi-Fi at this location is a let-down. Specifically, you can expect for the Wi-Fi to drop in-and-out regularly. It is reportedly difficult to hold down a stable Wi-Fi connection at this hotel, so don’t arrive to this destination with any important work to complete that requires an adequate Internet connection.

Guests report that the food available at the main restaurant at Medplaya Balmoral is also a let-down. The buffet-style Spanish and International fare is apparently quite variable in quality, and you may find that it’s not always suitably appetizing.
