Don't know, it's Thomson I'm booked with.
Just returned from Benidorm 4 wks ago, different hotel, but went to visit Rio Park to "suss" it out and check on the building works adjacent. Don't see them been a problem
In answer to a question of what aparts are near Rio Park
Moby Dick aparts are accross the road on the waste land side.

No Caz, I haven't, but I've heard only good reports!
Went to have alook at this hotel and it looked nice, also the Rialto and Regente, thought you could only book with thomson but all had big signs on them advertising 24 euros a night which is 16 pounds for full board so was a bit confused, so think you can book them indepentantly

There is a group of us 5 lads going there in June 07, just wondered if anybody knew whether the hotel is full at that time of year? Whats the weather like? And will there be lots of groups in Benidorm at that time of year?
Thanks
Thanks
I'm glad I'm going in May.
Just had a letter from Thomsons advising of the building works at the rear of hotel.
We were there in Oct and went to 'suss' it out and it didn't look too bad at that point. Do you know if the building regulations will mean no work during summer?
Has anyone been recently that can comment on the extent of the building works?
Has anyone got the e.mail address of hotel please?

Hi joolz,
I also received this letter as I'm stopping here in May, my parents checked it out for me (the building work) at new year and said I shouldn't have a problem with it at all as it's at the back of the hotel.
I have no worries about this building work what so ever, Thomson are only sending these letters out warning people of the building work to cover their own backside because as I'm sure you know, some people are just born to moan and complain.

Hi scarborosmoggy ... a significant number of the bedrooms are also at the back of the hotel, facing these building works. Rather than write these letters off as Thomson trying to cover themselves, it may be more appropriate to make further enquiries with them to ascertain at what stage construction will be during your holiday dates, and also what possible levels of noise, dirt, disruption, etc should be anticipated. The situation at New Year may not be comparable with the expected situation in May, and bearing in mind the concerns which TUI had about these works last year, it may be worthwhile asking further questions to try and ensure that your holiday will not be unduly affected.

When I booked in August I made a special request for a pool facing view and I expect them to adhere to my wish as I booked well in advance, I'm an up with the lark type of person anyway so I would be up and about before any building work started as I hate to lounge around in bed.
I've just phoned the Rio park to confirm my pool view room and they told me to ring back about 3wks before my departure day, I'm going to get my other half to ring Thomson when she gets home from work as she's the lead passenger.

Hi! When emailing a hotel, with a request (Usually pool view, low floor), I always email them, between 5-7 days before I arrive there, as I was told they do not get your confirmation/details until a week before you arrive. (Through TA - not sure about booking independantly).Regards, BBB.
bellyballyboo, I made the request with Thomson about wanting a pool view and it says on my booking confirmation they sent me under special requests *pool view, do you think it will automatically be done that I get a pool view or is it best to contact the hotel nearer the time to make sure?
Hi Scarborosmoggy.Definately contact the hotel 5-7 days via email with your requests. I have many times requested a pool view/ low floor through the TA, and never got one, as it's classed as a request that cannot be guaranteed. (To be honest, and this is my opinion only - but I honestly dont even think these requests get read) - that is why it is so much better to email the hotel direct, I usually send a friendly email, saying how much we are looking forward to staying at their hotel,etc.. etc..., and I can honestly say in all the years I have emailed various hotels, I have always got what I have asked for.

Thanks for that, I will do.

I have found that a promise of a box of chocs for the reception staff always works wonders
So far, no hotel has failed to give me the requests that I've asked for since I thought of that one.Sue
