Great place!

Had a great time. Although we were only there 1 night. We were able to check in early and given access to our room! The man on reception was lovely and welcoming! hotel was spotless and all staff were friendly. Cant fault anything. Check out was 12 but were able to book a time slot for a room to have a shower which included towels and toiletries free of charge which was fabulous as we had a late evening flight! Would definitely recommend this hotel!

Great hotel

You have got to love a hotel that allows dogs but not children! The area that dogs were allowed was restricted so they did not impact other guests. Also great that sunbeds could not be reserved and this was enforced. Great location. Great rooms. Good breakfast

Great hosting

My stay was good, all the hotel workers are friendly and smile does not leave their faces, services around the clock, the rooms are comfortable, my room overlooked the sea and the view was more than wonderful, the breakfast was wonderful and varied, I did not try dinner because we are often outside the hotel, and we enjoyed seafood meals Grilled on the coast.

Great location but needs work

We stayed for 11 nights for a relaxing holiday. The hotel was comfy and the reception staff very friendly. The bedrooms were modern however had little storage which made hanging up clothes difficult when staying for longer than 5 nights. The bathroom and shower were ok however there was mould on the silicone and on both shower heads. I cleaned the shower with a towel however I believe this should be done by the hotel daily. The pools were good and there were enough beds over the 3 levels. The pools however also were mouldy and require attention. Hotel bar reasonable priced with a great selection of drinks

Good points and not so good points .

Booked a premium room with sea view. Room 608 was very spacious as was balcony. Unfortunately from inside the apartment we looked into buildings and only had sea view from balcony - not great if raining! I would say it was a side sea view- see photos. I realise I could have asked to move rooms but as there were barking dogs in , probably the best sea view room, it wasn’t worth the risk. Unfortunately the food is very mediocre. Excellent location.

The entrance and lobby at this hotel are simply gorgeous, a real attention to detail makes this a welcoming environment. The rooms are spacious and clean, and although the balconies are small, they do provide a lovely view. The solarium area and sunbathing spaces are ample and both pools were refreshing. The pool bar has lots of options and a nice food menu. Overall, having stayed in 5 or 6 hotels in the vicinity, Hotel Alay has proved to be my favourite and actually great value for money too.

My husband and I visit Benalmadena often, but have never stayed at this hotel. We are not traveling with children so we liked the "adults only" option. The room and hotel were very clean and the staff was very nice. Since we have never stayed at the marina, we asked the front desk a few basic questions about the ferry and cycle rentals. The front desk did not have any basic knowledge of anything around the marina. We asked more than one person basic questions and no one could answer our questions. (in fact, they didn't even know there was a ferry). They had a dancing performance one night that I thought was entertaining. I would recommend seeing it. The only real complaint I have about this location is our view. We paid extra to have sea view. Our room was facing the sea, but it was so low to the ground and just above the pool slightly that we could barely see the sea above the pool. We didn't feel there was any privacy or much of a view. They told us at the desk that we would have had to specifically ask when booked that we wanted a higher level. I guess we just assumed "sea view" meant "sea view". We would have done better getting partial view of sea and being higher up and saved the money. We did like the gym and breakfast was good, but I doubt we would spend the money to stay here again.

It was in a great location. Close to tons of bars and restaurants. Close to the beach and marina. Staff were all lovely and very helpful. Rueben at the front desk was extremely polite and helpful. The bartender and servers were all professional. Pool areas were clean but we noticed the out side and surrounding walkways needed to have a good clean.

Clean modern hotel. Great location. Refreshing to stay in a hotel where sun beds were readily available whatever the time of day! Only slight problem was lack of storage space in the rooms. There were no drawers and limited shelf space. Friendly staff, good food and a pleasant snack bar. The nightly discos were held outside and were great fun. We would not hesitate to return.

Egentlig bare småting å bemerke - kunne tenkt meg et glass med stett på rommet, men var bare tannglass. Ba om å få bytte det etter noen dager, da fikk jeg et til og de stod på bordet hele ferien ... Tror ikke salongbordet ble rørt på våre 13 dager, Vasken på badet ble ikke vasket der såpa ligger. Og verandaen ble aldri vasket under vårt opphold. Noen av personalet i resepsjonen kunne gjerne vært hyggeligere - dette gjelder de mannlige. Øvrig personell i bar og matsal var nok underbemannet - de "fløy som øre høner" og virket veldig stressa. Og støynivået i matsalen var skyhøyt. Ble litt overrasket over at dybden i bassenget på terrassen ikke var mer enn 89 cm. Som sagt - småting som gjorde at dette hotellet ikke fikk full pott fra meg. Men vi hadde 13 fine dager.
