I herd they have dropped this hotel and others due to the credit crunch. They are also merging with first choice. Think Thomas cook is taking it from next year.

Thomas cook have always done the ambassador hotel.. On speaking to a friend in the travel industry she informs me that thomsons are trying to sell most of the rooms they have at the flamingo oasis hotel but tells me the prices have jumped a great deal for 2010.. mazza

I booked the ambassador through Travel Republic.

Feel jealous of all you who have just been or are going to the Ambassador. We have stayed there several times, most recently over Christmas and then again in June.
We saw cheap flights from Glasgow for 22nd September and then tried all the sites we knew for accomodation at the Ambassador, including Travel Republic and Alpha Rooms but no luck. Contacted the hotel direct but they replied that they were fully booked. Our 2nd choice was also fully booked but have now booked for the Presidente and hope that, as a sister hotel to the Ambassador it will be just as good.

Hi everyone,
I am new to this site and wondered if someone could help me,i have been to Benidorm twice now and will be leaving next saturday (29th august)I will be staying in the Ambassador Playa with my husband and little girl who is 9.I am getting really worried now as every review i have seen seems to be a bad one,especially about the food.I have also seen a few complaints about the noise coming from the road if you are on the front of the hotel but i don't mind that as i stayed at the villa de benidorm 2 years ago on the front and had no problem with that.
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me.
Thank you
Angela.

Can non residents use the spa and indoor pool if they pay? I am going to Benidorm in the winter and our boy loves swimming and the spa sounds great too.

Thanks Mazza.
I'm thinking of taking my laptop with me. Probably will take it anyway so I can use it at the airport over here. I'm sure they'll be somewhere with free Wifi.
Wonder if Mcdonalds do it the same as ours do over here.

christine the spa and the Sauna`s used to be 10 euro for non residents and 7 euro for residents , but it now down to 5 euro for residents , so i take it the non residents fee will also be down.

ps i`m flying out 2 weeks on friday , when should i e-mail the hotel to ask for a room on the front of the hotel ?

I would suggest emailing now and follow it up in a week if you haven't heard anything. The hotels normally get guests' names 1-2 weeks before arrival.
