Stayed 4 nights at end of June 08. Very good hotel. Friendly staff, good size clean and well maintained rooms - worthy of 4 stars. Nice pool although not enough sunbeds for high season - typical for any hotel like this.
Only big disappointment was food, which was not the quality you would expect for 4 star hotel.
Hotel in good location with supermarkets, shops and restaurants nearby. 15 minute walk to the sea - good beach.
Found the resort of Albir a little lacking in atmosphere but 10 minutes bus journey (30 minutes walk) along the coast was the fabulous town of Altea with loads of atmosphere, nice restaurants etc. A far cry from Benidorm.
Would recommend hotel for couples and for families with younger children.

This hotel is excellent , clean and well presented , situated in a very quiet area about 8km outside Benidorm.I stayed there from 15/06/08 - 22/06/08 with my fiancee , daughter and her boyfriend

We had a mountain/pool view room with balcony, exactly what we booked , the staff are all friendly and always willing to help . room service every day.

The pool area is very nice and we never had a problem finding a sun bed, the pool is clean , with a small pool for the kids .

Now for the food, we went full board and we have never eaten so well at a hotel, the food is excellent there is a good variety and it is well cooked and presented..( there was even champagne at breakfast )

I would give this hotel 9/10 as 10/10 would be perfect and that would be hard to achieve .

The only downside to our holiday was that on day 2 about 30 young spanish school children aged from about 7 -12yrs arrived and they put them all on the 1st floor where we were. and although they were out all day they made up for it at night rampaging up and down corridors shouting and banging doors , they left after 4 days only to be replaced by the same number of spanish teenagers who caused more problems so the easy way to prevent this is check when the spanish school holidays are .. or ask to be put on any floor but the first ....this was the only problem , I did complain to manger who said he would change our rooms when he was able, we didnt bother as the room was nice , it was the rude ill behaved spanish kids thet needed to be dealt with ?

All in all a good holiday at a nice hotel

Stayed for a short break from the 9th until 13th June. very helpful reception staff and friendly bar staff. The rooms are very large, well equipped and clean. We had a wonderful pool view on the 2nd floor. It was mostly quiet late at night however on the last night there were people talking loudly by the pool until 1am. Don't expect to he entertained in the evening, there was nothing on at the hotel while we were there and the resort itself is very quiet. However Benidorm is only a short bus ride away if you want a more lively time.

The food was absolutely wondeful, you could have something different from the breakfast buffet every day for a year.

If you want a quiet, relaxing holiday in a high standard of hotel where the pool area is never busy this is for you.

Be careful not to book shuttle direct, we were met at the airport by a very rude English girl. My husband then left a bag on the bus and Andy (an English man) on the phone refused to help. It was left to the lovely spanish bus driver to return it to us. It took two hours on a rowdy bus which stopped at every hotel in benidorm to return to the airport. Find another way to transfer if you can.

£35 per night half board top value for that money
easy to find on quite a busy roundabout,
spa work was being done, i was in room 441 which had huge balcony, with decent view, reception ok to check in, got high floor quiet room which i asked for
noisy at 7 when builders arrived, but didnt mind as every night seemed quiet enough, but only there 6th to 13th missing out sat night,
staff in restaurant very good, marr issa (not sure of spelling) on dining room reception absolutely excellent host, and the rest not far behind
meals
breakfast good, i was chomping away on omelette with sliced potatoes followed by 4 toasted ham or bacon sandwiches, then some fruit , add 6 glasses of orange juice, and i was happy
(not fat by the way, i train v hard )
evening meal 6 out of 10, needed to be warmer but reasonable enough,
pool in my opinion was ok, space round it quite tight
parking was street or in that week the river couldnt tell the difference after thunderstorm
rooms, very clean, and smallish but felt 4 star (only just)
t.v. sky news plus news 24, tv set up for german/spanish
hotel maybe better suited not in july and august as i think its small and would feel to busy,


albir is a reasonably nice place
virtually crime free, plenty of eating places, lots of supermarkets
there is a hill walk to the right of the beach where there is path to lighthouse, lovely walk approx 3.5 miles round trip, up hill of course but easy up hill,
and most of the locals appeared to , run/walk/cycle up it
only couple of miles from benidorm, which unfortunatly is getting worse, full of british stag and hen parties,
worth a look if you have car
Javea possibly one of the nicest places to have holiday home (near montgo mountain) in costa blanca
Denia biggish port but street cafes and laid back, nice evening.
Alte quite nice, Calpe average
