호텔 메디테라네오 베니도름

The hotel staff are absolutely lovely and the place is very clean and tidy. The food was very good apart from the chicken which was pink, so do check as its cooked different in spain. We were all inclusive and the indoor pool and steam room were brilliant and free if you book it everyday. The local beer and wine was very nice also. The rooms are very big and we had a bath and a shower which was great. Good quality fittings and furniture everywhere. Plenty of sunbeds available at all times. So all good so far. Please do book this hotel as it really is good. The not so good was the scottish big families and freinds who book this hotel 3 times a year. Drunk constantly, shouting swearing and animals at meal times. The guests were subjected to screaming at all hours with children around as well. Now these people were not young, these were aged late fifties to 70 years old, and i can honestly say we have never seen so much foul mouthed alcoholics in all our travels. Even the main town with the bright bars were full of scottish constantly shouting and wasted with drink. Our last evening dinner at the hotel was hijacked again with a table of 8 scottish shouting and swearing whilst being completley wasted with familes around us as well with children. So please medeteraneo!!! Ask these people to leave or throw them out. Its very bad and being woken up at 3am for the 3rd night to them shouting and laughing in the coridoors is disgusting. We will not book the hotel again because of these savages, as it makes the decent british tourist look bad Apart from these people, the hotel is great and well done to all the staff.

My first trip to Benidorm, travelled with friends, some of whom had been to Benidorm before. The hotel itself is nice, clean and well presented. Rooms are a decent size if two sharing, you are not tripping over each other and they are clean. Air con was working - was 25-28 the first week of October, so we were glad of that. There was the usual sign in the bathroom about using towels again, however, the towels were changed daily, whether you put them on the floor for changing or hung them up to use again, so not so save the planet friendly. The hotel is opposite the Benidorm Palace - a theatre - and a good bus ride away from the old town and a lengthy walk. We stayed all inclusive. Gone are the days of a wrist band - at this hotel your room key card is the way to get drinks, into the restaurant etc. Not a big issue, but what they do not tell you at reception when you check in and are given the card is that you can only get one drink per card (one card per person, per room) and drinks are limited to two per person - so if you are getting a drink - even a soft drink or water - for the person/s you are sharing a room with that is all you can get at any one time. Bit of a faff when there are several of you travelling/staying together. I have to say the lack of availability of water, especially when staying all inclusive, was a big one for us. I have stayed at other hotels in Spain where this is not a problem and water fountains are available at the bar. It was not possible for instance to get a small beer and a water if also getting another drink for your room mate. There is no water fountain in the hotel or at any of the bars and bottled water had to be purchased at the bar, although it was available with meals in the restaurant. However, it was not possible to take an unfinished bottle of water - or wine - out of the restaurant. Wine bottles here labelled with your room number and you could ask for it at the next meal. The wine was ok, but not great. The food at the restaurant was not, in my opinion, good quality. Although there was variety I found it difficult to put a decent plate of food together which I was able to eat. I love fish and look forward to fish dishes when in Spain, however, most of the fish on offer looked grey and very unappetising - and the hot trays only seemed to keep things luke warm. One dish I tried, pork slices friend in breadcrumbs, was so tough I just could not chew it. There were some nice salads and of course always pizza and some form of fried potato and surprisingly there were proper English type sausages at breakfast. While I was not expecting gourmet food I was expecting hot fresh food that was both appetising and tasty. Overall I and my fellow travellers, were very disappointed with the food offering and because of this we ate out other than the odd breakfast and some snacks, making the short break with friends rather more expensive than planned. One or two of the staff were bright, chirpy and frie
