Very nice hotel wasnt sure what to expect from Benidorm but we all enjoyed the place a lot.

Hotel is in a real good place if you want to be away from the central noise of the town, but not too far away to be a pain to get there.

Food was really good I loved the Mexican night and the Irish stew they did 1 day was excellent.

I will be going back here. The weather for the week was almost constant sunshine.

Group of 8 went to this hotel, we had 4 apartments which was great for the space. We were on the 17th and 18th Floors.

For what we paid, this hotel was fantastic, food was great and we certainly made full use of the all inclusive option with the drink too.

Unfortunately all drinks were served in plastic glasses, even coffee! but we didnt let that worry us.

Rooms were clean, you could hire a kettle for the kitchen, but there were no other utensils in it! All in all we had a fab time and really enjoyed our 5 day break from hubbies and kids.

Great hotel the food was fantastic which is very unusal for all inclusive. The drink however is watered down which is disappointing and defeats the purpose as all you do is drink more.

The rooms are ok clean and have air con and sat TV which is ideal for the kids as there are cartoon channels. The entertain is pretty standard for all inclusive and the location of the hotel is ideal if you like to be close the action but not too close.

I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone especially if you have kids.

Just returned (been there three times) Everything just as good apart from the food which was still ok.

Rooms big and clean - maids very good.

Entertainment ok.

Building work just down the road didn't interfere with our enjoyment.

All in all a good hotel, good location and brilliant staff

This hotel is fantastic. We stayed for 10nights all inclusive in September. Everyone is so friendly and helpful.

There is never a dull moment at this hotel from archery and table tennis competitions in the morning to water polo in the afternoon. Night time entertainment could be better though. Bingo everynight which is really good money but quite expensive to play.

The food was really good I have never eaten so much in my life you get brakfast 8.30-10.30 snacks 12-1 dinner 2-4 snacks 5-6 tea 6.30-9.30 then snack again 11-12 the catering work so hard they all deserve medals.

Pool gets very busy so get there early if you want a sunlounger.

All in all this hotel is great and we are going back in Aug 2008. If you are looking for a fun, value for money holiday then this hotel is for you.

Just back so thought i would file my report, having heard good reviews about the hotel we were not dissapointed the rooms seem clean enough and quite big we were on 21st floor so good views 4 lifts could some times be a bit hectic but not too bad. pool area there was usually quite a few plastic cups left lying round the place but they were always cleaned up at the end of the day. restaurant was always clean as you were finishing the staff were there cleaning plates and resetting tables.

The food was fantastic having stayed in a few all inclusives this place was the tops the head waiter must be english as lot of the food was to english standard they have show cooking on every night which ranges from chinese to indian plenty of choice and of a very high standard. always manage to find somewhere to sit quite easily.

the location is just set far back enough from the main drag and i would say is roughly a 10 minute walk.

The staff were great but then things changed on the 4th night some mindless idiots decided to start throwing stuff of the balcony i.e. eggs, icecubes from roughly the 22 floor while people were watching the entertainment below at night bearing in mind there were alot of kids and babies about and these items came down with some force. a couple of people were hit the 1st night, second night in again the same happened, althogh we had being told the people responsible had being chucked out of hotel. third night a warning from thr entertainment team that if found the idiots resonsible would be prosecuted alot of good that did same again when reported to reception we were told that the guest were not their responsibilitie and we would have to call the police ourselves which somebody did to no avail. that was our last night there and we noticed they were moving all the equipment inside for that night. I feel a bit more could have being done by the staff and alot more helpful taking nothing away from the hotel the idiots that were throwing stuff of the balcony probably ruined alot of peoples views on the hotel and reccomendations.

Entertainent mostly ruined by people throwing stuff off balconies and one of the shows not turning up at all.

We went for a week and found the room to be dirty and smelling of the previous occupant

Stayed here in July 2006, asked for lower floors when booking the hotel, was given second floor, they say all rooms over looking the pool, we could only see the corner of the pool as we was looking out onto the extensions roof top. During the stay there there were lots of rubbish gathering on the roof top, as some of the people staying there would throw things out over the balcony.

The pool is a nice size, but you need to get your sunbeds early.

Food is very nice and with a good choice, beer in hotel is not too bad, not a lot to say about spirits!!

John the barman he is good with people, watch for his squirty bottle, Jimmy well he is just looks fed up all the time.

I found that night time around Benidorm, was so repetitive, not only are the acts in the clubs the same every night, they are also word for word. Cafe Benidorm is about the best club on there, real spirits here not like in hotel. I found that the price is not no different as to back home, but you get more in your glass.

Terra Mitika is a must but be ready to do some walking from one ride to the next, Aqualandia water park is a big rip off, not just the charge to get in, can cost you an extra 12 euros when you do get in.

Back a week from this hotel and took a while to reflect. We arrived and got checked in and proceeded up to our second floor rooms which were spotless, with a bedroom, living room and kitchen it gave us the space we wanted as we had a little one toddling about. Unfortunately as mentioned people thought it great to throw stuff down onto the roof which encouraged pigeons and we had 3 or 4 of them every night on the balcony.

The food though was great, always something to eat and the bar b q burgers were yummy. Our kids ate more in the 2 weeks than they do in a month back home and the sangria in the restaurant is lovely. And Denis came round talking to all the kids and singing in some cases. The drinks varied from bar to bar i guess it depended on who was pouring, but after a few days we found we could order cocktails as part of the AI and stuck with them.

The entertainment we though to be a bit mixed, the activities for the kids were very good for my 12 year old and she was always popping away to do something my 8 year old took part in the bingo or the TV room when they put a video on. At night we always came down for the bingo and then the kids disco time and Sarah and Keeley were great with the kids. What spoilt it for us towards the end of the holiday was the lack of control some people took over there kids they just let them do whatever they wanted, we had footballs bounce off our table and bouncy balls too and at one point had water sprayed on us by one little boy who's parents just watched.

The pool area wasn't too good for us, there were plenty of beds or seats but if you could squeeze a bed in then they did you couldnt walk through some places never mind get a buggy through and the amount of scowles we got trying to get the buggy out made us feel uncomfortable about going back, people had beds right up to the pool then they left there inflatables on the pool edge with sometimes up to 4 boats,3 rings and numerous li lows and some water polo games going on so sometimes it was really hard to get in the pool with the baby as we tried the baby pool but thee were li lows in there and some of the older boys played in there not thinking about the babies. The pool area was pretty grotty come lunchtime and no one came to clean it till about 6ish so flip flops a must.

The staff again were mixed the ladies on reception were always helpful if required, most of the bar staff looked bored and scowled even dropping tips in there tin didn't make a difference. The best was Dennis in the restaurant he was great, our little one looked for him each time and if he was on he would come over and spent time talking to him and one evening we had a birthday and Dennis brought over champagne for the table which made it even nicer.

Main part of the hotel, beware of changing money at this hotel, as we tried it once as sheilas was a bit of a walk for some in our party and never again, we got 132 euros for
