Hotel Presidente

I have stayed in several Hotels in this chain, and whilst they do not mind shorts at breakfast and the midday dinner, they do like men to wear long trousers at the evening meals. I have been turned away at the door once when I went down for the evening dinner, but this was in the Venus though. This seemed to apply more to the men than the ladies.

Maybe you could email the hotel direct for confirmation before you go?

Sorry got a bit mixed up and don't think this hotel is in the same Hotel Group. Think I was referring to the Diplomatic. Sorry Karen

I was just about to say that I think you may have got the Hotel Chain confused....but certainly in the ServiGroup that Venus is a part of, this applies....I cannot really advise on other hotel chains...but I understand the 'dress-code' is the same. But I think it also depends on the Dining Room Manager, some seem more laid back and relaxed than others.

Hi dodge ... numerous booking websites for the Hotel Presidente list a hair dryer amongst the room facilities, but I see no mention of tea and coffee making facilities. However it is uncommon for Spanish hotels to provide that facility in bedrooms.

xscape with us is cominin in at 656 full board ,i dont find booking direct with the hotel is cheap, i also believe the prices are going to drop ,book flights and hang on for the hotels to come down ,and transfares are good to book with travel republic ,i got 6 of us return last week with them for just 60 pounds return ,i personally think hotels will have to drop there prices ,but dont take my word for it ,will keep looking for you and good luck

Monarch have it for £628 H/B or £672 F/B, for your dates (10nights?)
Looked on TR and others but more pricier.
All the best for your honeymoon.

Forgot to say for 9nights it is £566 or £605 .

Hi a group of 7 of us are booked up for the first week in september for the presidente. We have been to Beni loads of times but never to the presidente so any info on this hotel will be greatly appreciated. Also does anyone know if the hotel has an email address as I would like to request a low floor as I am terrified of lifts?

Lainy :cheers

Welcome to the forums Lainy. I have merged your enquiry with this existing topic, which may contain some useful info.

The hotel's email address is presidente@hotelesbenidorm.com and the web address is http://www.hotelesbenidorm.com/index.php?id=83

We have finally booked to go to Benidorm for New Year. :wave: Usually we stay self catering somewhere in or near the Old Town but this year we have decided to stay full board at the Presidente which includes a "Gala New Year". I wonder if anyone can let me know if this a posh frock 'do' or will smart casual be OK? Also, any comments about the hotel will be gladly received. Hopefully, nice ones!
On a general topic, I love our New Year in Benidorm having missed only one in the last 6 years. I love the atmosphere, the lovely strolls along the front to La Cala and the chicken, :tup, amongst other things. Will any other Holiday Truthers be there when we are? :cheers

Our friends love this hotel, location, food etc. I have stayed there once before and had no complaints. You have the UK Cabaret bar under the hotel which I personally think is the most comfortable and nicest in Benidorm.

You will be fine with smart casual (no ball gowns :rofl )
We are staying at the Ambassador for six nights over New Year and will have the gala meal, and will just pack a nice top for me and smart shirt for hubby.
