A large balcony with tables and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee and gaze out at the ocean.The room also feature tv with lots of channels, phone,wifi and air conditioning.
Food
So when you go on holidays its time to enjoy yourself and forget about any restrictions so I have put together my favorite places to eat in Benalmadena.
Luna Beach Club
This restaurant is owned by Sunset Beach Club it is just a short walk via beach from the hotel is was the first place we went to eat when we arrived. We had a BBQ the day after or wedding here it was unreal it had a great selection something for everyone. I got the quesadillas the portion is massive so they are good to share.As most of ye know I don't drink they make a savage non alcoholic strawberry daiquiri. Head down enjoy some food and drink on the beach.
Gelateria
Ye all know how much of a sweet tooth I have I was dreaming of the place since the first time I had it. The nicest ice cream I have ever had so many flavors and so tasty Kinder beuno is my favorite. Its located down on the marina grab and ice cream and take a stroll we actually walked to Torremolinos from the marina its a great walk with lots of restaurants and shops.
Metro
A lovely Italian restaurant just opposite the Gelateria we ate there twice in the week it has indoor and outdoor seating. The garlic mayo is to die for first time we got pizza and chips and second time I got the chicken pizzaola which was a chicken breast with tomoto sauce and mozzarella cheese with chips and garlic bread they do a great virgin mojito.
