When I stayed at these apartments in September, I was a bit anxious about staying in these apartments due to comments that I had read, but to my surprise, it was quite modest as to the price we payed for it!

We stayed in a studio, on the 9th floor, which had two sofa beds, a small kitchen (never used) and a reasonable sized bathroom. Although, I was worried about the lifts. When we checked in, we could only go in one at a time with the case they were so small!!

Nightlife wasn't bad... Good bars and entertainment if thats your cup of tea!

This was my second time in Benidorm. Wouldn't stay in that apartment again, but I'm not complaining about it!

Stayed in the Payma apartments at the beginning of September and agree with what has been written about the apartments, they are very poor. We were on the 11th floor, which was the only floor to have real balconies. The lifts only went to floor 10 and they were so small could only fit 2 people in and the light in one was out for 2 days and they really creaked.

Bad points about the actual apartment were that it was tiny; as we had a balcony it was tiny. Had no beds just a sofa and one sheet to sleep with. The kitchen was tiny and the knob on the cooker came off that turns the gas on so did not dare use it in case there was a gas leak. We came back from Benidorm town and found our next door neighbours running from our apartment to there's with our cd player and we found out they had managed to climb round the balcony and into our apartment through the balcony doors we had left open thinking it was safe. The TV in room hardly works and you need to put 6 euros deposit then 1 euro for every half hour. Bathroom so small you could not move. Shower curtain had brown marks on. There were plaster coming off the balcony and it was just poor. Had towels changed once and that was because I nicked them from a trolley outside our apartment that the maid was using for new guests. Pool is really small and was full or rubbish including cigarette boxes and tab ends and general rubbish. No sun on pool until after midday till around 4 then shade again. Had to go through the bar to get to the pool so people were eating in there.

Reps only interested in sleeping with people although they were a laugh and were good on the bar crawl. This is definitely an 18-30 escapades apartment in which to say all these bad points me and my mate did not mind too much as we were never in and only needed to sleep there (some nights). Benidorm, as a place, is wicked. The night life is great. Was in beachcomber till 5am nearly every morning best place for dance music in Benidorm and the girls are all definitely up for it. I would definitely go back to Benidorm again but just not in these apartments. I would not put my dog in there really but hey was only there for a week so could just stand it. On the whole benidorm is mad wicked fantastic and the Payma apartments and the total opposite.

Im 18 and my mate is 20. We went to Benidorm two weeks ago 17th may 2003, we stayed in Payma. After reading these comments about the apartments I was dreading it. However when I arrived I was suprised.

The room was basic but did us two all we needed it for was getting ready and a few hours sleep. The place was clean.
We were above three nightclubs but they are really strict in the apartments about the noise, we came in at half twelve to get more money and my mate put the music on in 5 minutes the receptionist was banging our door so you would without a doubt get asleep in these apartments.

I left all my money lying in a drawer it was safe enough in the apartments.
Food nice too, although one thing I can say was the pool was a bit small, the bath was bigger, but who cares as the beach is 2 minutes away and you are based in the middle of everything.

Stay away from Gigalos as this bar is a bit tacky!!
Loved benidorm so much am moving in 5 weeks!!

Just arrived back from holiday and stayed in these apartments.

Went with my mum (70) her sister (76) and my cousin (41).

We were not looking forward to it as we were told after booking it, it was an 18-30 holiday apartment block. We were delighted with the apartment which was a 1 bedroom one, it was very roomy we were on the corner and the balcony went round to three sides.

We had no noise although benidorm was very busy with all age groups there. The apartment was very clean on arrival, we had clean towels mid week but no clean sheets although we only went for a week. We found the staff very helpful and friendly and would certanly book to go there again.

I stayed at the Payma apartments in May 2002, it was ideally situated for the beach and clubs, the apartment was clean and spacious and the balcony faced the sea, the staff were friendy. I can't believe what has been written here, I liked the place so much that I'm going to stay there this year.

Yes it's lively but it's on top of three night clubs what do you expect?? It wasn't that noisy. I went with a friend we were both 35, but I'd definately take my children. So the pool isn't much cop, but hey, your on the beach in less than 5 minutes. If you look around this place is cheap
