recently stayed at Hotel Port Fiesta in Benidorm and had a mixed experience. The highlight was definitely the breakfast buffet plenty of variety, fresh options, and well-stocked every morning. It was a great way to start the day.
However, I found the dinner options a bit disappointing, especially if you’re looking for halal food there weren’t many choices available, so I had to stick to vegetarian options most nights. It would be great if the hotel could offer more inclusive meal options.
Another downside was the behavior of some of the guests. I often felt uncomfortable due to excessive staring, which made the atmosphere feel a bit unwelcoming at times. It’s a shame because the staff were generally polite and helpful.
The outdoor pool was also a letdown it’s completely shaded due to the surrounding hotel buildings blocking the sunlight, so even in 25+ degree heat, the water is absolutely freezing. Not exactly the relaxing swim you’d hope for on a sunny day. The indoor pool wasn’t much better either, with the water always looking cloudy, which didn’t feel very hygienic. The bed sheets don’t get changed every day like they have on my other holidays, but otherwise the rooms are clean and well-maintained. The TV doesn’t have any English channels, which was a bit disappointing when trying to relax in the room.
A helpful tip for anyone staying here: the local markets are about a 25-minute walk from the hotel and are open on Wednesdays and Sundays definitely worth a visit.
Overall, not a bad place if you’re just looking for a base with good breakfast, but several aspects could use improvement.
