Benidorm Old Town, 2km from the hotel, has a maze of cobbled streets and whitewashed buildings, with shops and stalls selling a range of local produce and souvenirs.

We stayed at the hotel from 4th nov to the 18th on arrival we were greeted by very pleasant staff who quickly got us checked in and gave us a room option floor two or floor 17 so we chose the view on floor 17. The rooms are adequate with a comfy bed nice shower powerful plenty hot water you get a tv with English Channels if this is important to you and the views are really good from the balcony on all floors as everyone gets a sea view. The rooms are cleaned every day you get towels but not for the beach you get shampoo. Soap. Which are re stocked daily you have a mini fridge a hair dryer but no facilities to make a hot drink so take a travel kettle and some cups. Bed was comfy but two singles pushed together. Safe in the room with a payment of 25 euros deposit for the key which you are refunded and it’s about two euros a day for the safe. We were half board and to be honest if we returned we would only do bed and breakfast as the evening meal was ok and you won’t go hungry it’s all edible but the quality and presentation is not what we were used too having stayed at many hotels in the canaries we were disappointed at the level of choice and it’s very repetitive with little vegetables. The staff are polite but you don’t really get and feel of it been your holiday it’s more like a canteen feel. The breakfast was good plenty fruit cereals toast and sausages bacon beans and eggs every morning never changes always these four options but it’s tasty oh and pastry if you want one with your tea and coffee. Any drinks purchased as tea time are payable at the end of your meal they charge for bottled water too so be aware if your only half board. I can’t comment on the entertainment as we went out every night into the old town as it’s a nice atmosphere we ended up the second week not eating evening meal at the hotel we chose to eat out we felt the food was of a better quality in the old town. The pool area is small but nice plenty sun loungers and a quiet atmosphere but again we went out every day as the walks locally are nice. All in all we would return but only bed and breakfast next time but that’s our preference as is my review it’s my honest opinion and I hope it answers some of your thoughts.

I would recommend this hotel to everyone

Nov 2022 | Alan G

Located on the Pontiente (Sunset) side of the old town this hotel is located about a 20-25 minute walk from the Old town. As mentioned in other reviews this is the "Spanish" end of town in the sense Brits tend to locate themselved the other side of the old town but it's not exclusively so. I really enjoyed listening to Spanish conversation and spending time "abroad" and not in Blackpool in the sun! With this is mind the hotel is geared towards a largely Spanish crowd although all of the staff I convertsed with spoke English well. Check in was fine, although I had to pay nearly 40 euro for an old fashioned safe key, 25 of which was a returnable deposit. Also, the door required an old fashioned swipe card ehich also contolled the electricity in the room. Constructively I would ask the hotel to consider modernising this as safe keys and swipe cards are just painful to carry around all of the time. The room was adequate including a bathroom with hairdryer and some packs of soaps, shampoo and whatnot although I used my own. The shower was great - it certainly washed away hangovers really well! The room had comfortable beds, a desk, a single chair and bedside tables. Theres a fridge but there is no tea/coffee tray. Theres plenty of hanging space and drawers in the wardrobe. Its small but perfectly formed. All rooms have a sea view (balcony and table with two chairs) which was fantastic. There's a small bar to hang clothes or towels on the balcony but the hotel forbids hanging any string to dry clothes - and I do like to give at least the smalls the once over before packing them back in the case. The hotel has a bar area where one can get drinks, tea, coffee and so on which is quite nice, this also serves as the evening entertainment area. I didn't really use it more than once. The pool area is fine with plenty of sunbeds although there aren't many umbrellas to shelter from the heat. Also, it's a bit of a trek back to the bar area if one wants a drink and I didn't really see anyone having Brough one back to the pool area. Overall, the hotel is adequate and probably the equivalent to a British 2*. It was spotlessly clean but in general very tired - many places seeming to have been maintained to a late 70s standard. This hotel could have an awful lot going for it with some small refurbishments such as updating signage, updating stairwells, and replacing the old furniture - I'd pay a lot for that sea view again! Although I went all inclusive I only used the restaurant once for breakfast, there was plenty of choice although largely continental style breakfast. There was a Spanish interpretation of the Full English which was just fine. In terms of facilities outside of the hotel there's a well equipped supermarket out on the main seafront just to the left of the hotel, there's also a bus stop right outside but I walked into the old town every day. There are lots of lovely restaurants along the front too. Overall, this hotel was just fine, it does what it says on the tin.
