Alicante Hotel Guide. Hotels in Benidorm, Alicante, Spain

The most amazing weekend. Greeted on arrival with a warm flannel and tea. From the spa to the seven swimming pools. This hotel is true luxury.

WOW.. Does not even come close. Outstanding hotel a true feeling of luxury. Enjoyed everything about this hotel. Relaxing a little peice of tranquility in a fabulous Benidorm. Everything about this hotel is 5*.

First off the rooms. The particular room I was in (1208) could be doing with a bit of modernising. There were one or two cracked floor tiles, and the furniture was brown, so it looked a bit out of date. The air conditioning is non-existent. There's a dial on the wall for it, and there are vent things, but it's utterly useless! We slept with the balcony doors open at night as it was too hot! (You can do this in this hotel, as no one can get into your room via the balcony due to the fact there are proper walls between them! Also, as the hotel is situated away from the main drag, theres not a lot of noise at night!) All I used the room for was sleeping, so to be honest, it didn't bother me that much anyway! Bedding was spotless, no issues with that! The rest of the hotel was excellent! The common areas (restaurant, bars, swimming pool area) were immaculate and modern and the staff were fantastic! The bar staff at the pool bar were always having a laugh with the kids, and nothing was too much bother for them! The food is the restaurant was excellent. Always plenty of choice, and something different everyday. The food was always very warm as well, because they were constantly coming out with new trays full of stuff from the kitchen! There is free wi-fi available, and there are lots of shops and bars within a two minute stroll from the front door if you fancy getting away from the poolside but don't want the 10 minute walk to the main street! Definitely stay again!

++ great location amazing views friendly,helpful stuff + limited choices for lunch/dinner

Excellent location Staff very helpful Room superb But ask for a sea view on the top floor Food was superb as was the entertainment Can't find anything negative A definite plus Never been to Benidorm before or used this hotel chain Will definitely book again next year

Nice rooms big beds if a little hard, very good breakfast including good English breakfast.

had a wonderful time new year eve meal and entertainment brilliant

The Gran Hotel Bali is between Cala Poniente and Cala Finestrat in Benidorm, and it is easy to drive straight up to Terra Mitica from there. It has access to 2 excellent beaches within 5 minutes walk, and has fantastic entertainment. It has 2 restaurants and 2 cafeteria and we ate where the food is served buffet style, which suited us. There are 2 buildings, one of which is a very high tower, with fantastic views over Benidorm and down the coast in the other direction. We think it is good value for money and would not go anywhere else, though have only been on short visits there.

Stayed this month at the Hotel Melia which is classed as a 4 Star and we can see why. We had visited and researched this hotel at the same time of year in 2012 after being duped into staying at the Dynastic Hotel which is listed as another '4 star' but the difference is like chalk and cheese as this pne is a true 4 star and the other in truthful comparison is probably around a shambolic, shabby and unclean -2 star at best. This hotel has lovely public rooms especially the foyer area, large and clean heated indoor pool, beautiful and well kept gardens and hotel rooms with all the facilities.The staff are rightly proud of their hotel and it shows as they are always polite courteous and helpful in the extreme and seem to enjoy their work. A most enjoyable week a direct comparison to last year's dreadful experience and this hotel has restored our faith in Spanish hotels in the area but we would not really want to go anywhere else now! Excellent wide range of food which was always replenished when needed and freshly cooked. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel as we could not fault it and had a lovely stay.

Had a fantastic stay although more English tv channels would good
