Vistamar Hotel in Benalmadena is a great option for those looking for budget accommodation close to the beach. The location is definitely one of its biggest advantages – it's just a few minutes' walk from the coast, yet situated in a quieter part of town, allowing for a more relaxing stay away from the crowds.
The rooms are spacious, with kitchenettes and balconies – many offering beautiful sea views. This setup is especially convenient for families, who can also enjoy numerous amenities on the property, such as a swimming pool, children's pool, kids' club, and playground. The value for money is considered very good, especially for those planning to actively explore the area.
However, there are a few downsides to keep in mind. The hotel charges extra for Wi-Fi access in the rooms and for the use of the safe, which can be a bit frustrating. As for the staff, my experience was fairly neutral – I didn’t encounter any major issues, but I also didn’t feel any exceptional friendliness or engagement from the personnel.
In summary, Vistamar Hotel is a good choice for families and travelers looking for an affordable stay near the sea, who value space and location over luxury.

I would give 0 stars if that was an option!
The hotel has been sealed off by police for not having the correct documentation to legally be open. We had no communication of this from the hotel and when we arrived we obviously couldn’t get in! When getting in contact with the hotel they told us it was open we just had to ‘sneak’ in the back entrance through a dark alley and garage!!! They also then refused a refund. Stranded at midnight we had to go to a nearby hotel and pay again. Absolute disgrace… Do not waste your money.
(The hotel looked rotten anyways, lucky escape from us i think).

The Conditioner doesn’t work at all. they are very irresponsible, they gave our room to some other strangers who just came in and imagine if we weren’t there they could’ve just stolen our stuff! The receptionist is just built different, SHE doesn’t know nothing about the hotel when it comes to the questions. I advice to pay a bit more and stay in a better hotel, yeh maybe the view is nice but it’s not worth if ur staying more than 1 day !!!!!! There is a reason behind a 2,9 rating !!

4 star is says supposedly. Well I don’t know who scored that, the owner at a guess.
Perhaps it was a 4 star, in the 1970’s and I doesn’t look like it’s seen a lick of paint since then.
It’s a good job the breakfast was included, because you’d never of paid for it.
Stay here if you absolutely have to, for example if you’re homeless or something.
The one plus side is the place will keep you dry while you sleep, but unfortunately that’s about it.
