Benalmadena, Costa Del Sol, Spain

The main buffet restaurant keeps things easy for families, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with a mix of international favourites and Spanish dishes. Live show-cooking stations add a bit of theatre to mealtimes, and highchairs are available for younger guests.

Between meals, three bars look after drinks and snacks. The lounge bar (10:00–01:00) is the social hub in the evenings, while the pool bar and terrace snack bar (typically open daytime, hours vary by occupancy) keep everyone fuelled during pool and splash-park sessions.

A smart dress code may apply in the restaurant, and beachwear is not usually permitted indoors. Opening times, reservation rules and any supplements can vary by season and your chosen board – always check the latest information on arrival.

What All Inclusive typically includes.

This is where Globales Los Patos Park really shines. There are two main outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool, set in spacious sunbathing areas with loungers and parasols.

The star attraction is the water complex:
• A splash park with pirate ship, sprinklers, tipping water bucket and water cannons – perfect for younger kids.
• A separate aqua park area with slides and chutes for older children and confident swimmers, generally operating between 10:00 and 19:00 in season.

Age, height or weight restrictions can apply for some slides, and opening dates/hours may change depending on the season and weather.

When you fancy a change of scene, the nearest sandy beach is around 200m away, so it’s easy to swap chlorinated thrills for sea and sand within minutes.

On dry land, there’s plenty to keep the family busy between splash sessions. Join in with aerobics or aqua aerobics, challenge each other to darts or table tennis, or opt for a relaxed game at the pool table (some activities may incur a small local charge).

Children get their own pirate-themed club for ages 4–12 years (usually 10:00–14:00, 01 Apr–31 Oct, and subject to occupancy) with arts and crafts, small-team games, sports, stories and music. A children’s playground with swings and slides adds yet more play space.

Daily daytime and evening entertainment runs across much of the season, featuring family games, quizzes, live music, mini-disco, karaoke and professional shows. Programmes and dates can vary year on year.

Practical extras include a 24-hour reception with luggage storage and facilities for charging mobility scooters, plus free Wi-Fi so you can share those water-park action shots in real time.
