Hotels near Open Wine Benidorm, Benidorm

This is a Warning about the times chosen to eat half board at Hotel Melina. We've just returned from a weeks stay based on half board. We chose to have Breakfast and Dinner instead of Breakfast and Lunch. Breakfast wasn't bad , very average for Spain but it was the food quality and selection on the Evening Dinner that let us down. The first meal on the Sunday seemed to be pretty good but then it went down hill. You could tell that some of the food was recycled dishes from Lunch, the soup was limited and not an attractive option. We were usually one of the first into the Dining room ( due to late and starving) which didn't open UNTIL 8pm. Not Good. It was only on the Thursday that we decided to have a sneak into the LUNCHTIME session to see what was served up on that sitting as against our Dinner Menu. We found a BIG difference in the Selection and quality on offer at Lunch. Things like Paella (my favourite) Corn on the Cob, Better items on offer including a big better choice of Soups and Quantity all which we never had on our Dinner Menu. We felt we had been mugged by the food on offer on our Evening Dinner dining menu. So our Warning is DON'T CHOOSE THE 8PM DINING you get a much better choice and selection on the LUNCHTIME menu. Plus 8pm is a bit too late to have to wait for your Evening dinner but its a very Spanishy traditional Hotel which probably accounts for the late situ. As far as the hotel itself is concerned, it was brilliant. Spotlessly clean, great staff, lovely room, quiet position, comfy beds, convenient location.

This hotel is the worst I have ever stayed in. Been made to feel like a child by been watched by security walking around the pools making sure no smokes where,food always cold,staff never looked happy, drinking from paper cups in small pool area, one lift broke down 2day before repairing it tired look hotel,room not cleaned properly beds won't made on one occasion never swept or moped the floors, it took about 40min to check in then told the room would be ready at 4pm and we arrived at 12:30 in the afternoon. Please do not believe that the program benidorm was filmed there cos it wasn't the only thing they used was the big pool and the flates behind was for the rest. One evening I notice in the orange fruits two rotten oranges so took a pic then on the last morning there I seen uncooked pastry's left out with no cover over them in there metal trolleys (flies as well) All I can say is stay at your Owen risk. This hotel gets a -10 from me.

Firstly, the location is great and value for money. Stayed for 5 nights in a suite with two bedrooms and one bathroom. The balcony was a good size. Per pictures expected bung beds and got an uncomfortable settee. The other beds were hard but paper thin walls with next door snoring and tv you could hear from next door. This hotel doesn’t cater for English, and we found the majority of the staff to be unhelpful and looked miserable. The bar staff were under pressure at nights and you struggled to get a drink. The day we left there was a very helpful lady on reception who organised a taxi for us. The food was ok, normal gripe that it’s not that warm but find that in Spain. They put on a Christmas Eve banquet which was very nice, maybe by charging more every day the food could be at that quantity. We found the entertainment wasn’t that great and it looked like the same two acts returned every week.

We stayed here for 3 nights it is a lovely little Spanish hotel in the old town area of Benidorm, it is located on a steep incline. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel and rooms are very clean - the walk in showers in the room are powerful and the air conditioning is great too. Free wifi is included. The breakfast was great lots of choice with hot and cold options. The hotel has a small pool to use, we didn’t use this as we like to go to the beach it is 18 euros a day for two lounges and a parasol on the beach It is a 10 minute walk to the beachfront and tapas alley area in the old town which is where we ate every evening. It is very reasonable in price and the food is amazing the favourite tapas restaurants we sampled were Aura and Tasca Y Basta but there are 100’s to choose from. We went into the Levante one evening it is very different to the old town- party central! But we had to experience it :) it was around 10 minutes in a taxi and it cost approx 10 euro each way. The coach transfers from the airport cannot drop right outside the hotel we were dropped at the hotel port vista oro and it is a 8 minute walk uphill from there to hotel Brazil. There are plenty of taxis to take you back up the hill to the hotel if you don’t fancy the uphill walk Costs around 5-7 euros one way. Would I recommend this hotel - 100% would we stay again 100%

We stayed for 5 nights. The studio was very modern and clean and had everything we needed - especially liked the 2 usb ports on each side of the bed. The location is fantastic - right in the middle of the old town, but no noise at all in the apartment. Friendly check in - comfortable beds and great shower - even got some British TV! There’s a lift and you can use the facilities of a nearby hotel if you fancy a swim. The only criticism is the studio was a bit small - but I suppose the clue is in the name.. Would definitely stay again.

We just spent 5 days at the Grand Luxor resort and village, what a hidden gem. We stayed in one of the two bed villas, it was beautifully peaceful and quiet, amazing views from the upstairs balcony overlooking the towns skyline which was only a 10 minute taxi ride. It was immaculately clean, and had everything we needed in the kitchen, free high speed wi-fi, 3 TVs in the villa all with UK channels. Air conditioning, A helpful and friendly housekeeping team that could not do enough for you. We had our own small pool that was cleaned daily, perfect to cool off.. there were also 5 other lovely pools on the villa complex. The hotel resort and grounds were very well kept, again very clean with two large pool areas, the hotel was modern and finished to a high standard and always smelt lovely. A vast selection for breakfast so something for everyone. The villa was perfect for us, before the start of the season, so peaceful and quiet just what we wanted. The hotel would be ideal for children and families as it has so many facilities and so close to Terra Mitica with free tickets into the theme park. We will definitely be going back.

I went to spend my birthday with my best friend and we loved the hotel with great views, the cleanliness was 10, the staff was very friendly, the spectacular buffet was super well organized, clean and offered us everything, I loved the pool, and a wonderful terrace☺️ we will return

Had a great stay at the hotel. The staff were very helpful and polite. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable with a fantastic shower. Rooms were cleaned daily and were very clean,as was the hotel throughout. The breakfast and lunch was very nice with a great selection of choices. The location was superb and close enough to walk to the old town and beach. I would certainly be coming back to this hotel.

Very nice Hotel. Exceptionally clean. I really enjoyed the food although not to everyones taste but wonderful selection. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Spanish entertainment each night. It was fascinating to watch the locals dancing. I found the dining room and bed room staff very pleasant and helpful. Not so the reception staff. They were rude and arrogant especially the male staff in particular the younger guy. He left my transfer paper work thrown to the side all day and never informed me. It was faxed at 10.09 am and I must have passed him at least 4 times that day and he just ignored me. I finally received it late that evening from a female receptionist who just happened to find it.!!! On the morning I left I went to reception with my door card. He never spoke or said thank you or safe journey. Just a rude scowl on his face. I'm 72. Never again would I stay or recommend this hotel. All due to the reception staff

Fantastic stay. The enclave of the site is ideal, near a fairly quiet beach. The location of the apartment is perhaps the worst point, being located in a point surrounded by slopes. As for the apartment, in good general condition although with some blinds
