[duhi_puhi, 31/12/2010] A great adventure in the world of sharks and different sea creatures! Really amazing animals to be seen.
Attractive and wonderful way to show children all the beauty and secrets of nature under the ocean.
Also very good for curious grown-ups :)
[keithybee, 30/01/2010] This place was nowhere near ANY form of life. It was a 25 minute walk to the lively part of Benalmadena and a taxi cost between 8 and 10 Euro, depending on what time of day it was. The staff were unable(why?) to give a wake-up call to ensure that I caught the bus to take me back to the airport to catch my homeward flight. I would not want to stay at this place again. None of the locals that I made friends with were even AWARE of ADOREA. That is how well known it is. Beware!!!! Stay away!!!
[suebron, 17/10/2009] Location good, very near the beach. If you need a hair-dryer take one with you, same with a kettle. Beds are like sleeping on concrete, but aircon worked well. Food is varied, salads were really good, bread was terrible( unusual for Spain in my experience). Clean and very basic hotel. Good pool area and amusing evening entertainment. Definitely NOT a 3 hotel, wouldn't stay there again.
[elspeth334, 11/06/2009] The Parque de la Paloma is located just back from the seafront in Benalmadena you turn up at the windmill roundabout on to the avenue Federico Garcia Lorca and the park is just in front of you. It is also one of the stops on the city sightseeing tour.
The park is over 200,000 square meters in size and was opened in the mid 1980’s. The land is laid out round a manmade lake and can be quite hilly in places but there are plenty seats for resting and taking in the view. The paths are monoblock which makes them easy to walk without fear of tripping on uneven slabs.
The main attraction of the park

[elspeth334, 10/06/2009] When we decided to make a return trip to Benalmedina we opted to go to the four star Hotel Las Arenas as it was recommended by friends. It is slightly further out just opposite the Castle Bill Bill and when you cross the road it’s a flat walk all the way to the marina which is away from the large hills on which many of the other hotels are located.
Reception
On arrival check in was swift and at this time we opted to pay for a safety deposit box we were then handed the safe key and card key to room 524 and pointed in the direction of the lifts. On looking round reception it was laid out w

[elspeth334, 16/10/2008] When we decided on a winter break we choice the Hotel Siroco in Benalmadena as we always wanted to visit Gibraltar and this Costa was nearest. We arrived at the hotel about 6pm and checked in, the process was very slow as only one person was on duty and it is an extremely busy hotel. We paid 19 euros for a safety deposit box for one week 2 euros a day plus a deposit of 5 euros. Then with key card in hand we headed for room 408.
The Room
The room had two single beds pushed together to look like a large double situated between a large headboard with had bedside tables on it. A light was situ
