A traditional Spanish hotel situated close to the borders of Torremolinos and Benalmadena has everything you need for a great stay. Rooms were a decent size with great air con. The grounds are beautifully kept with lush gardens and a pool which was a perfect temperature. Food and drink served offers pretty decent value for money for a hotel.

We had a lovely time at the Hotel Carmen Teresa. I’m used to staying at hotels with more amenities, so was a little concerned about staying at a small hotel, but what a wonderful hotel staff and location! It felt so safe for three women travelling together, with many restaurants, grocery stores and the beach close by. The room was was simple but clean and comfortable - certainly all we needed. The pool was lovely and the service was fantastic.

Room was bigger than i thoight but unfortunately the Air conditioning didnt work the first night we got that which was frustrating so the sexond day we had to switch rooms and the new room was a lot smaller but not that it really made muchnof a difference. The hair dryer didnt work in the new room tho. Just little things they need to sort out. The staff were very nice and also there to help. Prices on food and drink were decent. Just a shame they only had 2 pizza on offer from the about the 12 they had on the leaflet.

Hotel's good but what makes the Carmen Teresa excellent is the staff and 24/7 bar service. Bar is open all night and food is available. The food and cocktails are as good as anywhere in La Carihuela.

The staff cannot do enough for you and made my stay memorable. They went the extra mile and booked the El Ranchito horse and flamenco show phoned 2 different operators and printed the ticket. They also checked that my return transfer was still active.

A delightful, typically Spanish hotel with the extra bonus of a beautiful tranquil garden. A bus stop outside to either Torremolinos or Benalmadena. The beach is just a 4 minute walk away with an abundance of restaurants and shops. It’s a cozy, friendly hotel with staff that go above and beyond to make your stay a pleasant one.
Special thanks to Aline, Misha, Victor, Cat and Encarna who cares for the beautiful garden. All the staff were super helpful and I felt safe and relaxed there.

The air con was perfect and the wifi was really good, quite fast and reliable, even at the pool area. And the pool area is stunning. Beautiful well kept gardens and a lovely swimming pool that wasn’t freezing cold like other hotels I’ve stayed in. Would stay here again and it’s also exceptional value for money.

Friendly and Convenient

I had an excellent greeting from a male receptionist, and indeed nearly all of the staff including those doing bar, grounds and cleaning work are very polite and professional. I was given a top floor room (which I had asked for) and it was a good size with ample storage space, a lovely light en suite and balcony. The room was in the corner of an L shaped building however, so therefore on view for anyone on a neighbouring balcony if the curtains were not drawn. The television was excellent- many UK regular channels available. Throw in an in room safe and have optional extra blankets in the room and the stay would be perfect. The hotel is on a main road close to two train stations and within easy reach of both Torremolinos and Benalmadena. It also has some well tended grounds with enough space for sunloungers and a small swimming pool.
