Review: Disappointing Stay at Benidorm Plaza Hotel
I recently stayed at the Benidorm Plaza Hotel and was quite disappointed with several aspects of my visit. The hotel doesn’t really cater for English guests — most of the entertainment is entirely in Spanish and seems to focus on Spanish visitors only. It would have been nice to have something more inclusive for all nationalities.
The breakfast was very poor and often cold, which was a letdown. On arrival, the reception staff didn’t mention that everyone is required to purchase a swimming hat to use the pool — even men with no hair! This should have been explained upfront.
The evening meal doesn’t start until 8pm, which is far too late if you have children. When I asked if dinner could be served earlier, I was simply told that the Spanish don’t like to eat earlier. Similarly, when I asked why the swimming pool was covered, I was told it was because the Spanish think it’s too cold — again, not very accommodating for other guests.
Overall, if you’re staying here, I’d say it’s fine as a basic place just to get your head down, but don’t expect much else.
