Just returned from this lovely hotel, we stayed with 20+ people for my daughter’s wedding. It’s more like a mini town, as it’s very very large.

We stayed on a b/b basis and can honestly say that the breakfasts were the best I’ve ever had with plenty of choice,(too much really).

Hotel was really clean and bedrooms were spacious with two queen size beds in, were given a upgrade due to being wedding guest, but the other rooms were just as nice.

Hotel staff were pleasant (not many English speaking)and managed with everything we asked for.

We made our own entertainment. The wedding went off without a hitch and was done in a really professional way, well done to the hard working staff for a great day. We stayed earlier last year when my daughter decided that this was the place she wanted to get married, I’m so glad she did as none of the 20+guest had any problems and all commented on the lovely hotel/food and grounds. It’s that big you could get lost, would certainly stay again.

We stayed here on a bed and breakfast basis. On arrival at the hotel we drove up a very long driveway, the hotel was stunning and took our breath away (I'm not joking, I have only ever seen a hotel as gorgeous as this on the television!)

We had emailed previously and asked for a room near to reception on the second floor,(as some other reviews mentioned some of the rooms could be a 20 minute walk away from reception!), we got exactly what we asked for, and they had even upgraded us free of charge to a junior suite!- room 615 overlooking the pools, and sea, (the rooms are only 2 storey high!), although some of the grande deluxe rooms, stand on there own! .You are met at the door, and your luggage is taken straight up to your room. On arrival I have never seen a room like it, the decor was beautiful, walk in wardrobe, 4 poster bed, 1 single bed, chez loung, free safety deposit box, dressing robes, and slippers, a massive box of beautiful toiletries,mini bar (Expensive! - 12E for a vodka and lemonade - we brought our own alchohol, and soft drink up from benidorm, and stored them at the bottom of the frigde), air conditioning, ceiling fan, satalite flat screen TV, internet connection (17 Euros per day), but the internet rooms next to the reception were free (We only found out about this the last day, when I gave my son some money to go on!)

The breakfast's were lovely too, you were asked if you would like to sit inside, or out on the patio, (overlooking the sea views etc..), you were served fresh coffee, tea, and orange, and had a choice of continental, english, freshly made omelettes,lovely variety of breads, cheeses, meats, cereals, hot waffles, with chocolate/caramel/strawberry sauces, smoked salon, and champagne were on offer too, but a little bit too early for us!

There were 6 restaurants, indian, spanish, mexican etc.. and a lovely snack bar, but very expensive, (But we expected 5 star prices, at a 5 star hotel!)

They do take details of your credit card, and you have a choice of paying cash, or having it charged to your credit card (meals/drinks,/beauty treatments, golf, etc..)

We were not interested in the golf, but for anyone who is, you'de be in heaven there, they had three separate (massive) golf courses, and believe me, you would probably be there all day playing!

The staff were all lovely, and spoke english very well, we went into benidorm on an evening, for the entertainment, so could not comment on the entertainment at the hotel (but to be honest, it wasn't our cup of tea - flaminco dancing, jazz band, - everything you would not see in benidorm :-) much more up market!!!. That is why I have only given the entertainment 3, although someone else may love this sort of entertainment, and give a score of 5, (personal taste!)

There are three large pools, 1 heated (which we preferred), as the other's are so cold, but when we went it was very very quiet around the pool,so peaceful and relaxing! we found we had the pool to ourselves most days,- (which you would not get any other hotel in benidorm), but a lot of people go, just for the golf). The thick fluffy towels were already rolled up on your (lovely padded - and not plastic!) sunbeds, and when you walked towards your sunbed, the towels were rolled out onto it - if you moved your sunbed,(to lay towards the sun) the staff would rush over, and do it for you(Which at first I felt uncomfortable with - but only because I am not used to it, - and it's usually me doing the running around after everyone! - but after a few days I got use to it!!), the staff came around the pool with fruit kebabs every day!


As we went in October, there was no shuttle bus provided (There is in the summer months), so we got a taxi into benidorm on a night, which varied from 10E-11E, one way.

We found this hotel's location fine (nice and peaceful, with nothing else around - only terrimittica about a 10 mins walk away), but that is what we prefer, peaceful during the day, and lively at night. This may be a problem, for someone who does not like to be confined to the hotel during the day, and has not hired a car. Although you could get taxi's into benidorm, but if you are doing this more than once, a day, it could work out expensive, but it should not be a problem in the summer months, as a shuttle bus is running.

Now I have had the pleasure of experiencing this 5 star hotel, no other hotel would compare! Booked our flights for next year, and I don't think you need 3 guess's to where we're staying! :-)
