Had only visited La Carihuela once betore for about an hour so wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. Carihuela is in between Torremolinos and Benalmadena and is a great place if you want a relaxing holiday. We stayed at the Carihuela Playa Sol apartments - nice but only a pool and no entertainment - so we spent... more

I have now visited Carihuela 4 times and it gets better everytime! This time we went with family and took kids and we all had a fantastic time.

Although I've never actually stopped in an hotel here (my aunt has an apartment close the beach), my experiences of... more

Normally we book very modern accomodation but these apartments were recommended to us by some friends who have been for the last 6 years or so. They are very authentic - lots of spanish wood, pottery and plants. Our beachside apartment was fab. Adequately sized - just like a large hotel room really but with the added bonus of fridge/toaster/kettle/cloths/teatowels/2... more
