Hotel Don Pancho

This was our second time staying here and once again from start to finish it was great, the whole area of the hotel is clean and spotless, good that they are removing towels of bed blockers. Room well appointed and good amenities in the room, prices for snacks and drinks comparable with other places in the vicinity can only agree with other reviewers on here. A couple of little niggles which is why I docked you a star, 14+ does not constitute an adults only, thought the bed and pillows not up to scratch, even though the food was well presented and a variety of choice not as good as it was on our last visit, last time when we had drinks during the evenings entertainment we were given nibbles/sweets not this time but all in all a great holiday and when we come to Benidorm again will use this hotel.

Another visit to this lovely hotel. Hotel has had a make over and is lovely. Rooms are very comfortable although we did not have a kettle provided. We did not realise (our error) that you must upgrade for this. Bit pricey for a kettle though. The hotel is stunning, the lounges are so comfortable... and entertainment is provided, nightly, in the upstairs lounge. Only went in there a couple of times for a short time though, so really cannot comment on the acts. The pool area looks bigger than before, and plenty of beds and brollies. One thing that amused me, was the loungers placed in the pool for lying in whilst in the pool. Quirky !! The pool attendants kept tabs on sunbeds not being used, although, some people could disappear for two/three hours, and still kept theirs. Wonder how? The restaurant, although always busy, one managed to get a table no probs. The small gripe about the food would be the main courses. The steaks and pork portions were always a bit tough. Looked nice but not so appetising. The rest of the courses, starters, soups and desserts were always lovely. And plenty of choice. Would we go back the this hotel? Of course the answer is a big fat YES.

Would like to tell anyone who is thinking of going to the Don Pancho for a holiday and are not sure.......Well you cannot go wrong here !! This was our 14th year at the hotel and it just gets better. The reception and check in was great.....Very Very helpful,we had luggage left behind in Birmingham they helped with phone numbers and borrowed us phone chargers so we could call Thomson help desk We asked for the same room as the previous year superior with bath and high floor ...no problem. Food for breakfast is exceptional,Food for dinner is exceptional, if you can't find anything to eat here YOU have a problem with your pallet. Pool area during daytime is well managed ..if someone puts a towel down to book a sunbed and you don't arrive within the hour the towels are removed for someone else to use.Doors open 8.45 on the dot and there is plenty of room spaced out between smoking and non smoking areas.The waiter service around the pool is great always happy to help. Please do yourself a favour and use the downstairs bar in the evenings it's not expensive And the measures are very large If you don't know the area where the hotel is situated you can't get any better.Its right in the middle of all the pubs, 2 minute walk from the beech and a 10 minute walk towards the old town. All the rooms face the sea, all double glazed so you cannot here any night time noise All air conditioned,cleaned every day to a high standard The staff all speak perfect English and cannot do enough to help so don't look anywhere else, I have had friends do this and now they all go to the Don Pancho
