We stayed in April 2019. Apartment very well equipped, among best we have stayed in for the kitchen facilities, crockery/utensils etc, and very comfortable bed. Balcony lovely to sit and watch the sun going down. Very spacious for two people. Large supermarket less than 5 minutes walk. Chinese downstairs though few other restaurants nearby. Good bus service into Benalmadena, very cheap, 1.7 euro. We walked in many times, takes about 25 minutes. Bus can get crowded for coming back. Unfortunately we were there in Easter week and it felt like all of Spain was on holiday there, everywhere was very busy. We ate in often and sat on the Balcony as it was so nice.
Balcony a little small for proper sunbathing but you could take the folding sun beds down to the poolside area and there is a lift to take you to the pool area. Apartment not very well insulated for noise from the neighbouring apartments though we were maybe just unlucky that our neighbours were a bit noisy. Overall give 4 stars simply due to internal noise and location (and I prefer a larger balcony to lie out on) - not many places nearby to eat, but looked like some new places being built nearby so perhaps more places to eat at soon. Very good value for money compared to some we have stayed in.
