We stayed in this beautiful hotel twice in the winter
months and found both the hotel and the weather excellent.
We booked full board and the food was buffet style-lots to choose from and really lovely.
The area is quieter than the new town of Benidorm
but there is still a lot to do.
The first time we stayed our room was on the 17th floor with a balcony the 2nd time we had a back view
with no balcony but windows to the floor on 3 sides
the view was amazing.
We enjoyed out stay so much we have book again to
go in November (09) and looking forward to a great
holiday in a super hotel.

When we arrived at the hotel it was very impressive, the entrance was spectacular, very clean. The reception staff were very helpful.
The food was really nice, good choices all the time something to suit everyone. Waiters very good they clear your plates as soon as your finished.
Entertainment was good, they have salsa dancing lessons every night, a laugh to watch then onto a live band. Drinks in the bar have very big measures, good price for it.
Hotel location was good just 5 Min's from the beach (which was lovely & clean). British bars located on the way down to the beach, the Beer Academy was very good, staff very welcoming, good prices for food & drink, will be visiting again soon.
Will be trying to visit the Gran Bali again next year.

Very clean. Friendly staff (most of whom spoke good english). This place is a tourist attraction in it's own right and every day, many visitors arrived to experience the views from the top floor. The hotel is so large, this caused no problem.
The food was just ok. Buffet selection for every meal. A huge salad selection (always including meat, cheeses, pasta and olives), a large hot selection and a grill or paella. I found the hot meats tough on more than one occasion and the vegetables seemed always to be saturated in a very sweet butter but with such huge salads and the grilled fish/meat to choose from, I could always make a decent meal. Soups, fruits and a large selection of sweets always on offer during meal times.
Rooms spacious and comfortable, cleaned daily. There are 2 buildings to this hotel - the tall one and the other they call building 1. If you are in building 1, half the rooms don't have balconies, so be sure to ask.
The tall building has 43 floors and at the top, there's a panoramic viewing area which offers breathtaking views across Benidorm. Tourists pay 5

The Bali is a very good hotel as far as cleanliness and location are concerned. Food very boring more like a 2 star. Staff in reception ignorant and not very interested.
Rooms very nice with bath and separate shower. Mini bar stocked with soft drinks and water but very expensive. As mentioned previously there are no locks on balcony door which I raised with reception. They told me to hire a s/box.
Entertainment is like most hotels here in winter very espanol. Bar and porter staff ok.

This hotel was great, very large the staff kept this hotel spotless even though it was bursting with visitors from all over the world as we were belonging the Kickboxing Championships which approx 50 countries were competing in, so the hotel was full of, English, Irish, Italians, Welsh and so on.
Even so the hotel was kept spotless, the food was also very good only complaint there was it sometimes was not quite hot enough, but not enough to complain about and what you expect when they were as busy as they were.
Upon visiting this hotel you must visit the rooftop 9 either by glass exterior lift or inside lift ) for outstanding views right across Benidorm.

The hotel was very impressive.
The food I would say 3 * rather than I've eaten better.
There are no locks on any of the balcony doors so make sure you have a safety deposit.
The bathrooms have 2 showers, 1 on it's own and the other in the bath(good when youv'e got kids!
Even though the hotel was out of the way, other end of old Benedorm the buses are fab run every 10 mins. No5 takes you to old Benidorm and No12 takes you to New part and its only 1 euro! Taxi back costs about 8 euro's.
Entertainment very, very Spanish. Didn't see a rep for games during the day.
We walked to La Cala not far away, its beautiful. Ideal for kids. The old ship pub there makes you very welcome.

When we first arrived the reception was full of people checking in and out so it was really busy but they still made sure we were ok and helped us out with our room number and which building we were in. We were in the small building on the 17th floor, the room had 4 beds which was a big surprise to us as we only expected to single beds or even a double bed since there was only 2 of us. The room was spotless, it was cleaned everyday with new towels etc.
We only went to the pool once as we only went for a week but was great, the only problem was the sun beds they were always taken but we did find 2.
The hotel prices for drinks are really expensive compared to Spanish bars, I wanted a bottle of water and that was around

Gran Bali, never again.
The food was awful always cold but if you like salad ok .
Entertainment was all Spanish nothing for tourists.
Price of tea coffee or beer was over the the top. It was clean .
The staff were very helpful but that is the only good thing I have to say about it.
Nothing for children. It was very boring ,looks fantastic from out side.,
