Hotel Poseidon Playa

My husband and I have spent 10 days here and were very impressed by the hotel. It is a 3 star hotel but should be a 4 star. The hotel is spotless our room is cleaned everyday and clean towels every day, the breakfast was good and the staff were friendly and nice. A lot of older Spanish people staying at the hotel. So it’s not a hotel for hens or stags just for relaxing. It is an 8 minute walk to Benidorm if you want more excitement. We will definitely come back. The beach is directly in front of the hotel and is a beautiful beach, if you gave mobility issues there is a lovely promenade beside the beach. There are plenty of restaurants close by. We are from Ireland 🇮🇪

Absolutely fabulous hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by lovely staff at reception. Offered free room upgrade. The choice and quality of the food at mealtimes was outstanding. Watching the show cooking chef cook your food was brilliant. Rooms are spotlessly clean, unobstructed views of the Mediterranean sea, and such a lovely environment to experience. Will definitely return, the quality and hospitality is far above 3 star rating.

Had a great stay at Hotel Poseidon Playa! The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with beautiful views—especially of the sea. The foodl it was good, and the drinks were enjoyable too. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the beach, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the area. Would definitely consider staying again!

We stayed the week before Easter for 7 nights.|We found the hotel lovely and clean, very comfortable and the food was very nice. The views are amazing from every balcony. We stayed on the 12th floor. Never had to wait too long for the lifts.|The receptionist was helpful when we had enquiries. If you need extra pillows, just ask. |The location for us was perfect, nice stroll to the old town and even to the new town (45 mins).|We will definitely return to this hotel.|Yes, it is predominantly Spanish guests, We loved to watch them dancing of an evening (they certainly enjoy life). Was sorry to be leaving.|

We have only been here 2 days after reading some reviews I was a bit worried but no need to the hotel is spotless, the food yesterday was amazing we had breakfast and evening meal the choices were amazing, the rooms are not over big but comfy with a wide screen tv showing English channels, all rooms are facing the sea so you get a good view, there is building work going on at back of hotel but not heard any noise from there yet any different and I will do another review. The hotel is a 20/25 minute walk to old town but it’s along the walkway at the sea front so a lovely walk. Staff have been very pleasant and helpful. There are no kettles in room but you can get one from reception for 20€ deposit which you get back when you leave there is a supermarket 5 mins away to get you coffee/tea/milk etc the hotel entertainment the last couple of days is not good but you don’t have to get involved in it, I would definitely recommend this hotel

Our stay at Poseidon Playa was not as good as we hoped. There were 5 of us, one room accommodating 3 and the other 2. The room allocated to 3 adults was nowhere near big enough. We asked at reception if there was a larger room and were told there were rooms with two double beds which would cost an addition €500+. |We had asked for rooms adjacent but there had obviously been a mistake in the allocation of rooms because there was a room between us. |I would say that more that 90% of guest were Spanish speaking oap’s. The food choices were good and varied however the quality of the meats being cooked on the ‘Show Cooking’ area were poor. Many of the Spanish speaking guests took a piece of fruit from the dining room at the end of their meal but when we asked if this was ok we were firmly told No! One particular senior waiter was rude and even confrontational. |Staff at the reception desk were helpful and friendly and the hotel was kept clean throughout our stay. The location of the hotel in the quieter part of Benidorm is really lovely and the view from our rooms was beautiful. I did e mail the hotel management with my comments to give them the opportunity to respond but I have received no such reply from them.

The rooms are extremely old and haven’t been renovated inside since 1997. They proudly say they make small renovations every year, but they really are very small. Only the exterior has been renovated — the interior is in terrible condition. The worst part was that we paid for a 25 m² room and received one that was only 14 m². Their response? “Please speak to your travel agency.” We showed them proof on our voucher, even left a €20 tip, but it didn’t make any difference. Also, they charge you for drinking water. Even with half-board, they don’t offer free water at the restaurant. I absolutely do not recommend this place!

Great value. Food was really good and even though we had full board, it was varied enough not to bored with it. Rooms are basic - the only thing is that walls are so thin I could literally hear my neighbors when talking or hear the alarm clock from the next room. Be ready to take good earplugs or noise canceling headphones. Otherwise very friendly staff especially at the reception and cleaning ladies.
