First time in Spain and I was frankly disappointed. The staff were very ignorant towards my near two year old boy and made us feel unwelcome because of being English. The kids club staff had totally left my son out in the activities at the kids disco and no one acknowledged him again being English a majority were of course Spanish/ French. Completely ignorant towards him.
Not only this but the room we got was not child included which we requested cot etc prior to booking. Due to this after asking them to sort it my son had to sleep in the double bed for 11 nights, causing me constant worry. We were not welcomed there at all and is very little information up about daily activities and night entertainment. The resort of the aqua park a pools my child loved so I couldn’t fault this. But had no refreshments in room such as tea coffee etc.
We were all inclusive so meals were included but we’re down for breakfast an then lunch an had some mouldy food, a not much selection for kids apart from soup nuggets and cod croquettes. We had to go an buy food for my child to eat that wouldn’t cause him any illnesses. It could be better for other customers we just unfortunately had a negative experience which we will not be visiting again. Hopefully it is better and the dream holiday for others, but it wasn’t for us.

My main issue was my room, we asked for a quiet room. They must have found it funny when they gave us room 132. It was in the main building directly above the kitchen.
The room smelt of the food downstairs, one night must have been pork, omg it stunk. The banging was constant. I don't mean a little tap, loud banging of metal trays until nearly 1 o'clock at night and starts really early in the morning too, obviously for breakfast.
The balcony overlooked the road and the bins from the kitchen. It wasn't pleasant.
Obviously could hear every bin collection and delivery. I honestly dont understand why they think it's acceptable to put paying customers in that room.
Having walked the ground, the hotel is very big, I'm sure if you are lucky enough not to be in the same room as us you would not have the same bad experience.
Now the room size was ok, but smelt and was not particularly clean. Only cleaned every 3 days during stay, which I didn't feel was enough as no broom etc was provided. We went to the shop and brought our our to keep on top of the apartment.
The kitchen was the most basic I have ever seen and tiny. 4 plates, 4 cups, 4 knives etc. 2 pans, 2 rings. Microwave, toaster and kettle but 1 plug socket. Which made it a nightmare. You couldn't cook a meal, or even a snack if you wanted. Just not good enough for a self catering option.
The beds were ok I suppose, I have had worse. They were squeaky, you get one weird long pillow each.
The shower leaked, which made the bathroom dangerous.
The balcony is tiny, 3 chairs provided but no way could 3 people sit out there at the same time.
The pool area was dirty, I never saw anyone clean it, all the chairs were dirty. Seems like they only stack them of a night instead of cleaning. The chairs are basic white plastic, uncomfortable. The pool beds are awful, no cushion and don't adjust, so you are just lying down. They really were bad.
No pool towels provided either, even with a deposit.
The pool food was always cold when we brought it, so gave up. I felt sorry for the people who were all inclusive.
Every time I went to the bar I was charged a different price which I just dont understand. So I went to the shop across the road instead.
The water park was decent.
Indoor pool very good, but can be hard to get into as busy.
The lobby bar was ok, they didn't clean the tables often though and most seats looked like they needed a good clean.
This is a sports hotel, so big groups of teenagers who can take over the pool area at times.
Any staff I did speak to were very pleasant.
The lobby area was lovely, just shame that didn't extend to the rest.
The hotel is located by a supermarket, a few pubs and Chinese shops. Nothing special, couldn't even recommend any places to go as I wasn't particularly impressed with any of the places we went to for drinks or food.
The beach is quite a walk but is beautiful and has better bars but obviously more expensive.
Would I go again? No.

Staff were lovely and helpful! Food was really nice entertainment was brilliant and the water park was good! A very good variety of allergen options and drinks at each meal time!
Enjoyed our stay from 3/5-10/5 and would definitely book again!

Just left after our weeks holiday.. honest review..
Family of 4 adults two children, we arrived got our rooms right away. Room were clean and tidy with a kitchen even if your weren't all inclusive. Clean regularly.. we were all inclusive, drinks at bar were a great variety and soft drinks, slushies and ice cream for children etc pool bar would need more than one person serving other than that we had no issues. Pools are brilliant including the waterpark. No one reserved beds which was good, there were plenty of chairs and beds available. I wouldnt leave anythg of value unattended. We had a few kids toys and cigarettes lifted while in pool. Entertainment team were brilliant Nico & Alex were always up for a laugh, customer relations Juan was great help and always sitting down to check how your holiday was going. White party was the best night of the week, make sure u bring your white clothes. Restaurant food had different themes some nights better than others but there was always some for everyone. Kids food selection wasn't great. The surrounding area was lovely and quiet, not busy at all. The Market on Sunday on the main street is a great visit. If you want night life Benidorm is the place to go and it's 10mins in a taxi. Over all it was a lovely holiday and we met lovely people, on the menu for drinks etc at the pool bar have a look anythg with AI ticked is included on All inclusive. Diffo worth a visit. Staff made u very welcome and nothing was to much.
