Hotel Mac Puerto Marina

Mac Puerto Marina puts a Costa del Sol golf break beside Benalmádena’s Puerto Marina, with the beach a short walk away and the waterfront close for an easy change of scene after a round. This is a four-star hotel with 272 rooms spread across nine categories, so parties can choose between pool views, side sea views, terraces and rooms looking onto the Andalusian courtyard. Every room has its own balcony. Pool-access doubles are 25 m², with two sunloungers on a terrace that opens straight onto the pool area, while Premium Side Sea View rooms sleep up to three and include a complimentary safe. There are also three family rooms with a separate bedroom and lounge.

Two outdoor pools set the pace on non golfing afternoons, while the spa offers hotel guests complimentary entry when reserved ahead. A heated pool, sauna, steam room and treatment rooms make it a useful place to loosen up after 18 holes, and the gym opens from 7am until 10pm with a treadmill, cross trainer, exercise bike, weights and stretching mats. Breakfast brings eggs, omelettes and pancakes cooked to order as part of the buffet, served in the restaurant or out in the courtyard. Evening meals follow an international buffet format, while the poolside terrace serves snacks until 5.30pm in summer. Later on, the lounge bar accompanies a different live show each evening, with Puerto Marina close by for a walk along the water before turning in.
