Fantastic magic Villa Benidorm
My boyfriend and I have just returned from a week at the Villa De Benidorm. We had stayed here twice previously and also at the Cristal Park. However I was a little concerned about some of the very negative reviews. I am glad to say the Villa De Benidorm has not changed a bit. Yes it does need a refurb, particularly the outside area, but it is clean and tidy and there had been some minor improvements in the twelve months since our last visit.
I really don’t know how people can say the food is not up to much, the food is amazing. There is so much choice, it is hot and is beautifully presented. Karim the chef was always out checking the food, tidying round and he produced a lovely gala buffet on the Friday evening. How they produce so much food three times a day I don’t know.
There are two bars within the hotel, the smaller of which was for smokers. This was always the best bar, with the best atmosphere. whether you smoked or not. The bar staff work SO hard it is unbelievable. During our stay they were very understaffed for one reason or another and the waiters from the restaurant helped out after they had finished their shift. The cheerfulness and friendliness of the staff really makes this hotel special. It would have been nice to see some of the guests treat the staff with a little more respect but then not everyone is the same. Some people complain that the drinks provided are watered down. All I can say is they musn’t have sampled barman Darius’s special sangria - wow they were good. Three of them and i was sozzled.
For a three star hotel there were lots of nice little touches such as
sparkling wine in ice buckets left in reception so you can help yourself, the same again with a large box of bisuits. For lunch and dinner there were glasses of cocktails handed to you as enter the dining room. Also on the last day there was a little bag of biscuits left in our bedroom as a thank you for staying. So forget about the walls maybe needing a little lick of paint and look at the good things at the hotel.Lorna the hostess was still there and just as helpful and funny as last time.
The only downside that i could say is that the entertainment was a bit amaturish, but there is all the entertainment you need on your doorstep. All the good bars and clubs with entertainment, comedians, singers etc are practically in the same road as the hotel.
We got chatting to some great people, father and son Jack and Keith, John and Christine and of course Terry and Kath - hello.
So if you have booked then just go and enjoy yourself.
