“Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2011

people found this review helpful

Just got back from Benalmadena where we stayed at the Jolly Pirate. We were all made very welcome during the whole of our stay by new owners Peter & Sandra. They could'nt do enough for us, even keeping the kids entertained at times. Our appartment was very spacious, and included a large living room with satellite tv, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, tea, and cooking facilities etc, and a large fold out sofa for the kids. Underneat the appartment is their sizeable resteraunt and bar which serves great food and drink all day and night. There is also a pool table in mint condition, tables tennis, and other activities for the kids in a large play area at the rear. We had the use of 2 swimming pools which were just across the road, and while the Jolly Pirate is very central to everything, we heard no noise when it was time for sleep. I notice that one of the reviewers on here had said that the air-con was a euro per hour (approx 80p), well ours was 1 euro for 2 hours, either he is mistaken or the charge is lower with the new owners, not that we stayed in long enough to use it anyway.
So, thanks Peter & Sandra, and as you already know, we have booked for next year already, so see you then.!!!

“Jolly Pirate-Jolly Staff”

Stayed in jolly pirate last week in October-2 couples.I could not fault the Jolly Pirate.These are self catering rooms not a 5 star plus hotel.If you manage to get a front balcony room you will have excellent views with sun all day.All staff were really friendly and helpful.

i have just returned from the jolly pirate having spent 2 weeks in one of the apartments there and it was exactly what it said on the tin.i found the room clean and tidy with everything there that i needed. i was a little concerned having read one of the reviews posted but they either stayed in another jolly pirate or expected a 5 star hotel. i found the aircon was 1 euro for 2 hours, and as i was always out and about it was never an issue, clean linen was supplied as requested, towels aswell. the apartment was selfcatering so, to be honest i never expected a maid sevice. very friendly staff and owners that made me feel like part of the family i have already booked for next years break....i cant wait
