A holiday to remember

My last holiday was in October 2009.

I traveled to Benalmádena (Málaga) with my uncles, my little cousin, my brother and my parents. I went to Benalmádena by car. I stayed there for a week. The hotel where I stayed is called "Holiday Polynesia" and has 4 starts. It was very beautiful, the hotel was on the coast and it had a wonderful sea view.

I think that place was great, the food was very nice. I ate chips, hamburguers, sweets, meat... and I drank coke, water and milk. The people was very nice.

The hotel had three swimming pools, a good restaurant, courts of tennis, basketball, paddle tennis and minigolf. In my room there was a big TV and a kitchenette. The hotel also had a disco where people used to go at night.

The stay at the hotel was not very expensive, it was cheap.

The weather was very good. My family and I were all day in the pools.

In the hotel we could do many activities:

• In the day, I went to the pools with my brother and my cousin and then we went sightseeing for the city.
• In the evenings, we went to the aquarium "Benalmádena Sea Life"
• At night, my family and I went to the disco. There we danced and we had a great time

The day before returning to Chipiona, we bought some souvenirs such as: T-shirts, keyrings, necklaces and fridges magnets.

I recommended this holiday because it was amazing. We were never bored, because it was fun.

It is a worth visiting.
