Review
The hotel is modern and clean, very comfortable and with two swimming pools available: one on the roof and the other larger in front shared with the customers of the adjacent hotel. The hotel bar has affordable prices and catering is very varied. The position of the hotel is not far from the sea but the village of Benidorm is not particularly beautiful, to get to the promenade you have to walk on a busy main road for about 800 meters (the return is slightly uphill!). Every evening the hotel offers a non-invasive and pleasant animation for customers who do not wish to go out. There is entertainment for children before the show in the salon.

The excellent buffet, varied food, on each day different and of excellent quality. We stayed for 5 days and the variety from one day to the next of food was very good. Excellent service. The staff is very attentive and polite. The swimming pool and the hotel services are very good and with attention. A very good hotel, although the setting is Benidorm, especially for foreign tourists, especially English.
