Great hotel - after reading some reviews prior to coming I was skeptical but I'm glad I only have good things to say about the Hotel. The room was modern and cleaned to a high standard everyday. We had half board which was definitely worth it, the food is on the higher end than what I've had at hotel buffets before - lots of freshly cooked meats and fishes each day and good quality meat and vegetable options. The breakfast is good, my only criticism would be to have more than one person making fried eggs as the queue can get quite long. The pool area was great, it's in the sun all day with service at your sun bed for drinks which was good and a food van to buy snacks throughout the day. The location is perfect, across the road from the beach and Benalmadena just a 15/20 minute walk down the beach front. We didn't struggle for things to do there's lots of options for entertainment and food. I would definitely return.

Great 1950's original luxury hotel, you can sense the glamour from when the stars used to visit (who's photos now adorn the main public spaces). Quiet and comfortable with a fantastic location, right next to the beach, and within in easy walking distance of many restaurants and bars. All in we had a fantastic stay here, very relaxing.

Here is a realistic review from my personal point of view. I’ve been coming to the Pez Espada almost every year since 2016 and it’s always a wonderful experience. The sea views are incredible. The hotel is very well located in La Carihuela, close to Benalmádena. The restaurant service and staff are excellent – I could honestly thank them one by one if I knew all their names. A special mention goes to Mme Maribel Sanjuan, who helped me and my family of three book an excellent room. Breakfast and dinner are always delicious with plenty of variety. The animation is really good for both children and adults, and the hotel often brings great musicians – one band in particular was absolutely incredible.
If I could recommend a couple of improvements, it would be for the gym, which needs more equipment and modern machines, and the ping-pong area, as the table is smaller than normal and the rackets could be of better quality.
⭐ Rating: 5/5 – Incredible views, amazing food, great entertainment, and outstanding staff. That’s why I keep coming back year after year.

Thanks to all staff for our lovely stay. We will return.

Wonderful art deco hotel with real character and a sense of history. Staff generally friendly and attentive, if not quite the entire team at all times as advertised. The buffet food was reasonable, especially the breakfast. Cocktails were quite poor quality, air con in the bedroom didn't seem to work although we didn't report this as it wasn't hot enough to cause us an issue. The pool was cold and only open for a short time, and a couple of the advertised facilities didn't seem to be open potentially because we stayed at the end of April. Will definitely consider staying again
