Hotel RH Corona del Mar

This was our second visit to this hotel and it we had another fantastic vacation. We had a very quick check in and agreed to charge our hotel spending to our room and you receive 10% off the drinks. You pay a deposit of €10 cash for your safe key and lock. Our deal was 11 days Full Board with a sea view room. The balcony was a sun trap and the weather was superb with temperatures ranging from 19C to 22C. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff work hard to maintain these standards. The food was excellent, extensive salad bar, theme days, various fish dishes, roast beef, roast pork, Chicken, Turkey. There’s pasta, pizza, paella, hotdogs, burgers. Breakfast had everything you would want. Entertainment was excellent and we were happy with the drink prices. The location is in a quiet area and faces the Poniente beach. We would definitely recommend this hotel and we will return ourselves.

Standards seem to slipping especially the dining service . Also our room looked tired. If you put your drinks to the room you get a 10% discount which makes all drinks reasonable. The concierge staff are all very good and will help where required. The housekeeping is good with room visits everyday. We have stayed here before and noticed standards dropping in the dining room service. Replenishment of food as it runs out could be quicker. On a number of occassions had to actually ask the maitre de to get our drinks as we were never asked by the waiters despite been spotted sitting down at the table. At breakfast we had to get our own cutlery because the table wasnt set on more than one occasion. Our room looked a bit dated clearly had been a leak on cieling corner and coukd have been decorated better. The radiator in bathroom all chipped of paint see pics. The water stations are still on every floor. Its expensive to stay here so standards should not slip. Would i come back yes i would but RH need to get a grip on the slippage.

Lovely hotel, just a stones throw away from the Poniente beach with its quiet bars and boardwalk. Staff were brilliant the two weeks we stayed. My husband has a gluten intolerance and always found something to eat plus gluten free beer at the bar. David who was in charge of entertainment was so friendly and funny and had us doing all sorts of sports tournaments. A 15 min walk up from the hotel was the tram station which takes you along the coast to either denia or alicante the other way. We visited Altea, Denia, Calpe whilst we were there, which were all beautiful.

We have stayed at RH hotels in Benidorm on many previous occasions, and we have consistently found them to be clean, warm, and welcoming places. The Corona Del Mar was no exception. All areas of the hotel were spotlessly clean and well-maintained.||**Location:** The location of this hotel was perfect for us, situated in the old town, a short distance from Poniente Beach and just a few hundred yards from The Dove Park. Walking from the hotel to the old town shopping area takes only a few minutes, and there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Local buses pass by frequently, and the tram station is a 20-minute walk away, although uphill, the walk was quite manageable for these two pensioners.||**Rooms:** Our room (108) met our needs well. While many previous reviews recommend higher floors, we were on the first of seven floors, and this was perfectly fine; we had a sea view. The room was well-proportioned and included a bath with an over-bath shower. It also had a free safe, though there was a 10-euro deposit for the key. A fridge and tea and coffee-making facilities were provided, as well as a carafe for water that could be filled from a water machine on every floor. Wi-Fi was free and offered good speeds. Once again, the room was very clean and was serviced daily to a high standard. As our visit was in November, we didn't need the air conditioning, but it would be reassuring to have during the summer months. Overall, we found the room very comfortable.||**Restaurant:** The food was excellent, with plenty of choices and good quality. Although we were on a full board basis, we didn’t plan to use the restaurant for lunch but ended up doing so a couple of times; the food was consistently good from breakfast through to dinner.||**Staff:** The staff at the Corona Del Mar are its greatest asset. From the moment we arrived at reception until we checked out, all the staff were pleasant, friendly, and welcoming; they all spoke good English. The room cleaners always took the time to greet us each morning, and the bar staff were friendly throughout the day and evening. The waiters in the bar provided first-class service, being attentive and keeping the tables clean at all times, which was also reflected in the restaurant. Regardless of how busy it got, drink orders were taken promptly after arrival, and dirty plates were cleared away quickly. You can charge all bar and restaurant drinks to your room using the door entry card. This hassle-free payment method also gives you a 10% discount.||**Entertainment:** The entertainment was what you would expect from a Spanish hotel, offering a mixture of quality and variety. The resident animation entertainer, David, was funny, entertaining, and engaging—a real asset to the hotel.||**Facilities:** I did not use the pools or spa, so I am unable to comment on those.||**Conclusion:** I am very happy to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Benidorm who prefers not to be right in the “British Strip” of the resort. Would we stay here again? Absolutely! In fact, we have already booked a return visit in February and are looking forward to it very much.

We enjoyed our recent holiday here. All staff were very nice. The entertainment was good. David in charge of the animation was great. He made us laugh and was brilliant at his job, and we enjoyed spending time with him. We hope to come back sometime. From Maureen and John.

A lovely Hotel, very clean, friendly staff who can mostly all speak English. Good food and reasonable prices. Well situated for easy access to beach and shops. We did not use the entertainment as it was not quite to our taste, but that is just us , no reflection on hotel. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

Good value hotel in winter. Close to the old town and the Levante side of Benidorm. Friendly and helpful staff, although we missed some staff who were not here this time.|Food continued to be of a high standard. The bar lounge atmosphere and evening entertainment were unfortunately not as good as previous years.

Had a lovely week at this hotel. Just got back today. Very disappointed this morning when checking out. We had ordered a breakfast box as had to leave very early. Reception said nothing was available. There were 4 of us in rooms 701 and 704. Had to leave on an empty tummy. Other thing that was not made clear was that every day the cleaner left 2 fresh bottles of water which we thought were complimentary. Today we had an extra 22 euros added on to our bill. This was for all the water 2.20 euros a bottle- we actually had bought s 5 litre bottle of water in local shop for around 2 euros. We would never have taken the water had we known it was not complimentary. Left us with a very sour taste this morning.
