Apartamentos Doramar

A great budget place to stay in an ideal location.

Stayed many budget places in Benalmadena in the Winter but would never go near this place again, Stayed one night and left the next morning. There was something crawling in the bed which I killed and a transparent creature on one of the pillows. Stayed awake most of the night in the lounge. Door had been broken into numerous times by the looks of it. Noise resonates through the concrete pillars until 1.00 am. Fines if you leave the light on and go out. Pay a little extra.

The hotel staff are brilliant and the place is spotless. The beds are uncomfortable but no more than most hotels I've stayed in within Turkey. The food was not great on some days and others there was one thing I would eat besides chips, and I'm not a fussy eater. The salad bar was always a win with gorgeous fresh bread selection. The hotel drinks are not very nice either except the coffee and the beer! Location is perfect on the beach and with a fabulous irish bar 100m up the steet with live music. Overall it was a great stay and would definitely stay again. Just not as an all inclusive guest. P.s Book your excursions through Tommy Cooper, the man next to the hotel. Much cheaper than the reps. Recommend the canyon tour!

The staff was very friendly and daniel was so helpful it wad very clean and close to every thing and the food was very good would stay there again

I rated it a 1/5 because the bar staff were very rude, the breakfasts were cold and you wasn’t allowed to bring your own drinks around the pool even though it was a room only apartment and we even had to pay €3 per day for a sunbed to relax next to the pool and if you didn’t know this, like we didn’t know on our first day the bar staff will come up to you and start shouting €3 for the bed and if you don’t pay €3 you are forced to sit on the table and chairs which are most likely in the shade. The rooms were clean and tidy and so was the pool, the pool is checked for the PH and the temperature of the pool regularly, the reception staff are really nice it’s just the bar staff are ridiculously rude all the time!! And we DEFINITELY won’t be returning!!

The apartments themselves are nice, dated but everything works and is usuable. The biggest problem is the bar underneath. Karaoke every night, and you can hear the noise coming through the building and into your room. The karaoke ends around 1:30 am, and then you just hear all the drunk people leaving, gathering outside to keep singing and shouting till around 3am. This happened the whole time we were there it was like clockwork, so it's not good if you want to have an uninterrupted sleep. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this hotel which is a shame as its convenient, cheap, clean and has everything you want for your stay.

Great apartment, old and tired but well maintained and very clean with everything you need, even a thoughtful welcome pack for showering and washing up. We were pleased to find a convenient bar in the basement but this was the problem. It has karaoke each evening and it is not possible to sleep between 1 and 3 am as participants leave, screaming and laughing in the street. This is our second night of it and we have a third night to endure before going home. If not for this I would be giving 4 stars to the apartments at the price we paid.

In no way stay at these.appartments if u are a single women travelling the guy on reception I believe to be discriminatory to women solo travellers and a bully..do not go there..im progressing with an official complaint..DO NOT GO if you are travelling as a.SOLO female

If you are looking for 5 star then this isn’t for you. I read lots of bad reviews before we came and luckily was proved wrong! The apartments are very basic but spotless and have everything you need for a self catering break. I stayed with my family of four. We had a bathroom, twin bed room and pull out sofa bed. It was all basic but you get what you pay for and we couldn’t complain about anything in the room. The pool is small and deep but had a lovely atmosphere and considering it’s October was still warm enough to swim in. The food here was so reasonably priced and they do a lovely breakfast. The location is central to everything the beach is just opposite and Marina full of restaurants is a short walk away. If you are looking for a cheap get away then this is perfect. It is basic but has everything you need and the staff are so lovely. I would also say this is perfect for stag/hens/friends holidays. I read reviews about it been loud but we stayed on floor 5 so didn’t hear a thing once in bed. The air con worked lovely too. The only negative I can say is we arrived late and our pull out bed wasn’t made up so we had to make our bed when we got in. I’m not sure if this is always the case. Apart from this I would recommend this for a cheap get away stay for hens, stags, lads/girls holidays or a cheap family break
