Mac Puerto Marina Benalmadena

This is our second stay at the hotel over bank holiday August weekend. Staff are all amazing and friendly. Location is second to none and Marina a stone throw away with all of its amazing bars and restaurants. Rooms are spotless and we had a beautiful pool and marina view. Breakfast is outstanding with a wide variety of choices, plus fresh pastries every morning. Thank you for your hospitality once more, see you again next year, Carolyn, Janice and Megan x

Fabulous location right on the marina. Amazing hotel. We ad a 3rd floor room facing the courtyard,lovely view, good size balcony. Roomlively & clean,quire spacious with the best storage ever which if you are staying 2cweeks is very important. Safe, fridge with free drinks inside, & kettle with free supplies which were topped up daily. Reception staff very pleasant and helpful. All restaurant staff excellent especially Ribaz & Omar. Food very good, lots of choices and nit at all samey, if you couldn't fill your plate then there is something wrong with you. Plenty of sunbeds,no need to reserve, have a leisurely breakfast and still loads available. Pool not very big but never seemed to get crowded and of course beach literally over the road. Very peaceful. Violinist and saxophonist on certain days which were very talented. Entertainment was excellent especially the Bohemians who were very similar to Il Divo, but good variety of acts. One of the most memorable things about this hotel was the Management team Rosa General Manager and Elisa her deputy. They were constantly visible around the hotel checking on staff talking to residents, checking around the pool continually. Rosa tacked a group of around 10/12 people most of who weren't residents, when they were being very vocal and using language that was not appropriate. Rosa handled them impeccably and set them on the right path. She was very impressive. Rosa & Elisa welcomed us in to dinner each night along with some of the other staff, which was a lovely touch. Elisa commented on how my sister & I always looked well presented for dinner which was nice to hear.

We had a lovely stay and would definitely return, though we’d choose a different room next time.

Our room faced the street, and it was very loud late into the night. It did quieten down in the early hours, but we’d strongly recommend choosing an inward‑facing room for a more peaceful sleep.

There were always sun loungers available, and although the pool isn’t large, it never felt overcrowded. It was also refreshing that the pool area wasn’t dominated by children — the lifeguard kept a close eye and made sure things didn’t get too unruly. It was nice not to be constantly splashed or jumped over, which can happen at other hotels. The small gym was perfectly adequate, and the location is ideal for the marina.

Breakfast and dinner offered the usual hotel selections, with plenty of choice and excellent quality. Staff were really friendly throughout our stay.

Overall, we had a great time and would happily return, but we’d opt for a quieter room next time.
