Hotel Rosamar

Just back from a week stay at Rosamar hotel. Not a good start..... Requested a low floor room as we had heard that the lifts were very busy at times. Checked in and given a room on the first floor...ideal, went to the room, opened the door to find it already occupied, luckily the occupants were not in the room, could have caused a big problem. Went back to reception and notified them, they were very apologetic and after about 15 mins we got another first floor room. As others have mentioned on here the rooms are looking a bit tired and could do with an update, specially the bathroom, but they are clean, beds are comfy and there is a flat screen TV that has British channels available. There are 4 plug sockets in the main room and one in the bathroom. A safe is available at 2 Euros per day with a 25 Euro returnable deposit. All communal areas of the hotel were very clean. The restaurant was clean, Staff were very friendly and efficient (Miguel made us feel very welcome) food was good but repetitive at times, All the bar staff were very friendly and helpful, watch out for the guy in the pool snack bar, didn't get his name but he is always joking with his customers, pretending that he can't understand, but he can, always chatting, real nice guy. There are plenty of sunbeds available round the main pool, we didn't use the kids pool at the other side of the hotel, but it looked good, plenty of sunbeds there too. Entertainment was ok, mainly singers when we were there. I would recommend this hotel, it is ideally located for the bars, beach and market.

Stayed here in March in a group for business The check in process was quick and easy - rooms are dated but comfortable- balcony was great and views of pools and the cross was lovely We were all inclusive which isn’t something I would usually choose but for the price it was well worth it Breakfast was lovely! Lots of options decent sausages.bacon and poached eggs! A first for me in a hotel in Spain Lunch was average but you could always find something Dinner was pretty good most evenings and the drinks included definitely helped you keep to a budget Bar staff were great and I ordered a lot of coffee which was very nice Snack sandwiches were weird though tuna ham and salad in one sarnie?? I’d read reviews about the lifts and I think since I was aware they were slow it didn’t really bother me I’ve stayed and worked in Benidorm for 20 years and all the lifts are slow the hotel is exactly what it says on the label and I would definitely stay there again the location is great and the laundry and hairdressers were pretty reasonable too Only reason for marking a start down was the water went off on our 2nd day although they had notified it would be off until 2 I didn’t get hot water until 6 and when I went back to my room at 3 I had no shower head or hot water I actually had to find a maid to help as reception kept fobbing me off The maid was lovely and got a maintenance guy to sort in 10 minutes! The rooms were cleaned every day and the maids were so lovely and helpful Hope to be back again - thanks to all
