San Diego Apartments is a very new (2004) construction, it's a fairly small complex by Benidorm standards, and I believe that most of the apartments are privately owned and let through various agencies. All of that contributes towards us not yet having received any reviews on the complex.

However, situated on the busy Calle Gerona, the complex is in the heart of Benidorm's nightlife, which will have its pros and cons depending on your own personal preferences.

Hope it works out as good for you.

We got a phonecall today from them again saying that they would upgrade us free of charge to EL Faro hotel which is right on potiente beach! only thing is have to spend €6 to get to the town or a 30 minute walk.
if your wondering how i did the "€" sign hold down ALTGr key and press number 4 ($) sign! just incase you didnt already know ;) now i can start looking forward to it!!!

Cheers for that Davey, i have read a few reviews on hotel el faro 95% are 5 out of 5 2 are are 3 out of 5 so quite looking forward to it now! plkus they have a bar in teh hotel where as the san diego doesn't. I have 3 choices, either
1: Take a baby car seat as luggage for trip to and from hotel - airport
2: Get a bus/coach.
3: Hold him in back of cab on my lap as will be doing that for whole flight anyway.
what do you reckon what would u do??

Hi stuey ....

1. Sounds the best and safest option if you can manage it
2. No seat belts, so kid just sitting on your lap
3. No baby seat, but at least seat belts to secure him on your lap

Just wondered if anybody has been here.I,ve checked reviews and there are none for these apartments. They are new 2004 so that might be why.

Hi MARK,We stayed here at the end of September and they were very good apartments. Very new and modern with all the facilities you need for self catering. They could be a bit noisy because of the location but it didn,t bother us . Hope this helps.

Has anyone stayed there who has not posted a review?
If so, what's their opinion. Are there any English language channels on the T.V. Are TV's money in slot? Is there an ironing board or iron? Any information appreciated. Where is the Safety Deposit Box and how much?
Thanks
Helen

Hiya Helen.
I don't know if you have viewed these sites, some information contradicts each other. :roll:

One poster says there is no English TV channels, then another link says Sky sports and movies.?
The price for renting the TV is also mentioned.

Hi Helen, I posted a rteply or you in the diy question. We stayed here Sept 2005 and found them very good. TV was slot we ididnt really watch it but I,m sure it was the usual basics of bbc news, eurosport, cnn and Spanish channels. We did have iron and ironing board . The safety deposit box was in the wardrobe in the bedroom and cost 3 euro per day.Anything else I can help you with just ask.

Booked to go there in October. When in Beni last week went to check them out. Guy on reception (Dutch?) was most helpful and showed us round an empty apartment. It was fabulous compared to other apartments we have stayed in and are really looking to our holiday in October.
Would still welcome any feedback from anyone who has actually stayed there
