Hotel Poseidon Playa

It has been good so far. The hotel is located perfect in Benidorm if you prefer a calm vacation with a beautiful beach and delicious high end restaurants near by. The further you go to the right away from the old and new town where all the tour are, you will start to find the best restaurants within 5 minutes walk.|If you continue to walk you will see nice cars and nice villas, it is a beautiful walk in the evening.||It was perfect for me since I love Spain and Spanish people and culture. I always try to avoid the places where there are a lot of tourists from Scandinavia and UK and here at this hotel it is more Spanish and a few other nationalities, it is a nice mix.||The cleanliness is great and the hotel maids are very friendly and will clean your room every day. The people working in the front desk speak good English and are professional.||There are a lot of activities at the evening and by the pool if you enjoy to participate in those. I prefer the beach and restaurants so I haven’t tried any.||The walls are a bit thin but since the guests are quiet there is a little to no disturbance at all. AC is very good, you can adjust it to your likings. My tip is to turn it off at night because there is no blankets on the beds, instead there is a sheet used as a blanket, so if you have the AC on it will be freezing.|The rooms are small, and we stayed 3 person in a room with three beds, it is enough space with a large closet, good size bathroom, but a small balcony with two chairs and a table. But as we only sleep in the room, it is good enough for us and the beds and pillow are very comfortable.|The water pressure in the shower is also very good.||My daughter had her birthday here and the staff was nice to recognize it and came to our room with a gift. She is a teen and the gift was a bottle of cava, so not the best fitting gift, but she tried a glass and I had the rest and I really liked it :).||There has been complaints about the waiting time to get one of the 4 elevators from other reviewers. There is a small waiting time when you want to get up to your rooms, but it is only a few minutes so not a huge problem. But it could be better if there was more or larger sizes of the elevators to remove this small time of waiting.|Also avoid the supermarkets close to the hotel, they are expensive. So better to buy water in the hotel’s vending machines or walk left 400m To Coaliment.|Avoid the supermarket to the right named Supermarket Super Eco, I paid 10 euro for a bottle of water, a bottle of Coca Cola and a can of Heineken.||I will come here again!

Great hotel and great food selection. Stayed all inclusive. Mainly Spanish guests but can’t recommend enough. 20 minute walk to Old Town. Quieter end of town and perfect to chill and relax. No sun bed wars either.

We got into this hotel after booking a “last minute vacation” and Poseidon being the only one available. We were met with a pleasant surprise. The hotel is very nice, the views are absolutely amazing and the staff from reception to cleaning staff were so friendly. The only negative thing, and it isn’t a hotel problem per say, was the evening entertainment/music. Every singer was blend, the atmosphere wasn’t very nice and it felt like a retirement home on every show, even though the hotel has great facilities for entertainment. Besides that we absolutely recommend this hotel, the views are unmatched and cleanliness is spot on. Thank you all at Poseidon for having us!

Do not pay extra for a balcony and sea view, all rooms have this! I only went bed and breakfast was a sufficient standard holiday breakfast with varieties. The room was very clean, beds comfortable and shower powerful. The pool is small and if you’re not down within half hour of it opening you will not get a sunbed. The walls are thin and can hear alot but it did not hinder my sleep, although aircon could have been a bit stronger. This is very quiet part of benidorm so be prepared to walk a fair distance to decent restaurants and bars. A taxi to old town will cost €10 which reception will sort when asked, its about 30/40 minutes walk back along the strip. I brought a towel and umbrella from the shop close by €12 and spent most days on the beach, by far the better option! Personally if going again i would go to levante beach side as there is far more todo during the day, most places this side close at 3pm or and dont open until 7pm

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.

I read the reviews on here before travelling and had hopes this would live up to the more promising reviews. Unfortunately I didn’t quite come up to scratch. I will summarise our experience. ||Arrival: Reception staff were nice on arrival, and we were offered our preference on how high up the hotel we were housed. ||The room was not spacious, but covered our needs, and all views faced out towards the beach and Benidorm island which was lovely. ||To use the safe in the room requires a €10 deposit and a charge of €2 per day. If you want beach/pool towels, this will also incur a charge of €20 deposit per towel and a daily charge (which I think was €3 per day per towel). ||Almost all the guests are Spanish, which isn’t a problem per se, but clearly this hotel was geared more towards their tastes than those of travellers from other countries.||The cleanliness was reasonable, although there was one day where we placed our towels in the shower to be replaced, and they were just picked up off the wet shower floor and hung back up wet, and the floor was swept daily but clearly wasn’t mopped often.||The bar doesn’t open until 10am, so you can’t even get a bottle of water as you’re not allowed to take anything away from the dining area after breakfast. If you need to you’re better to get one the night before and leave it in the fridge in the room. ||The pool area was ok, but small, so unless you planned a day round the pool, it was difficult to go anywhere in the morning and get a sunbed in the afternoon. ||The back opposite the hotel was very nice, but 2 sunbeds and a parasol will cost €18 for the day. | You need your room key for everything and even as an all inclusive guests who was issued a wrist band, you still had to present your card at the bar for drinks, and can only get 2 drinks at a time. You will also need the room key to access the toilets etc. ||The food was poor. The selection was mostly geared to Spainish guests, and nothing seemed to go together. The main choice one night was pig trotters, and another night the show cooking area was doing chicken doner kebab which was still raw. Food was often not very hot. It was also very samey, with variations of the same thing daily. ||Many of the other guests were not all inclusive and had to pay for drinks and meals which were reasonably priced but certainly not cheap. I think meals were €18 per person per meal, and drinks were a no bit steeper at around €3 a beer. ||The entertainment was all geared for children during the day and a singer every night, so we didn’t stay at the hotel most days. Old town proper is about a 15 minute walk, where there are plenty of restaurants and a few bars, and new town was around a 10 minute taxi ride away which costs about a euro per minute. As expected new town was fun, but chaotic and unfortunately we were offered drugs from the second we got out the taxi, although this has no connection to the hotel, but forewarned is forearmed. ||All in all this isn’t the worst hotel you could stay in, but there were certainly others that seemed better. The policy of no stag or hen parties was a bonus, and if we were to stay again we would probably opt for bed and breakfast rather than any other board basis, as much of our time was spent at the beach or in old town.

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!

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 🇮🇪
