Hotel Villa del Mar

This is not our first time at this hotel and won't be our last. In our opinion one of the best hotels in Benidorm. The experience starts when you walk through the door and are welcomed by the reception staff, Veronica (manager of reservations), Patricia and Wilson went out of their way to make sure we had a great 2 night stay, thanks guy's! The restaurant staff were always pleased to see you and tried to help make your dining experience pleasurable. Alejandro on the roof top cocktail bar made the best Mojitos! We will definitely be back!!!

Our family of 11 stayed here for a week this April to celebrate my parents golden wedding. We were 5 adults and 6 children so our ages ranged from 7-70 yrs old. The hotel is situated across the road from a beautiful beach although be careful of an undercurrent and heed life guard warnings. We received an amazing welcome with a drink and cookies and check in was straightforward. Our room was amazing. We’d been upgraded so had a jacuzzi in the room with a lovely sea view and had a connecting sea view room for our 3 children. Bathrooms had twin sinks and a very modern shower with jets. Rooms were cleaned daily and cleaning staff worked hard and were very friendly. Food was fresh and plentiful with lots of choice. Large salad area, lots of veg and different styles of potatoes. Meat was tasty and varied, pork in particular was delicious and leg of lamb amazing. I don’t like puddings but they looked gorgeous. Children loved the fish and chips or the pasta and sauces so they were happy especially with ice cream and fruit/choc fountain to follow. Breakfast was lovely and so filling. British sausage, beans, hash browns, all types of eggs etc or continental breakfast. Restaurant staff were friendly and accommodating when trying to seat all 11 of us together. Bar staff efficient and friendly, not a lot of seating for chilling out but branded drinks and generous measures. Pool areas were small but we always managed to find a bed. Lacked a bar there so had to make numerous journeys up and downstairs carrying drinks from main bar. Pool was freezing and in the shade a lot of the time but that’s expected with high rise buildings all around. Roof terrace was nice although not suitable for the children so only went once. Entertainment was ok. Flamenco dancing and an ABBA tribute were great. My son loved the junior mini disco at the start of the evening and playing games before the main act came on. This hotel is more suited to couples but saying that all the staff made the children feel special and the ball pool downstairs was a hit for the youngest. In summary I would definitely recommend this hotel but older children may get a little bored. Staff amazing-special mention for Wilson on reception!

Our room was lovely, sea view waking in the morning and seeing the beach and the sea just perfect. Rooms so comfortable and clean and well maintained. The staff are the nicest people you could wish for, nothing is too much trouble. Always lots of smiley faces and so helpful. Restaurant busy but excellent, we are vegetarian but had no trouble finding something to eat. We were told if we could not find anything to just ask and they would sort it out for us. Lovely cookies in the reception, (not good for the wasteland tho!) We just wanted a chilled couple of weeks and it was perfect. Bar staff very generous - not a complaint!! One thing to ask for us a bar mat for the bottom of the bath it was no problem one was put in our room straight away.
