We have been staying at the Melia Benidorm for weekend breaks for many years but I feel its time to move on and find somewhere else. It used to be a very good hotel and still is okay but there are definitely better for the price. The bedrooms are getting scruffy , bathrooms outdated, the non slip bit from the bath has washed away and taking a shower can be dangerous , very slippy! Maybe its just me but the mattresses seem to have got harder , its like lying on a brick and the pillows where rubbish, the patio door didnt close properly, the couch was dirty looking , I wouldnt sit on it ,a lot of the UK channels on the TV had gone from the last time we stayed, apart from that the room was clean. The hotel and pool area was as normal very nice and well cared for however the Hotel bar is becoming a joke . One barman , one beer which was flat, we waited at the bar for 10 minutes along with a few other people , no one there and eventually one barman who looked pissed off arrived , threw a beer at me , took my money without even an hello. He didnt want to be there. A hotel so large should have a good bar with a choice of beers, no wonder the bar is always so quiet, no entertainment , and dont blame covid , all the other hotels and bars where providing it , on coming back to the hotel after an evening out , we fancied a quick drink before bed , not with that barman, he barked the bar is closed!!! So off we went , luckily there is a bar next door only a few minutes away !!
