Hotel Villa del Mar

Absolute incredible hotel, all staff were amazing and so helpful, my partner is gluten free and was completely catered for. Room was amazing, everything immaculate clean and smelling amazing. Will definitely return to this hotel. Highly recommend

It was our first time in Benidorm so we chose the Villa Del Mar hotel mostly because of its location. We didn't want to be right in the middle of things but still wanted to be within walking distance of everything. The hotel is perfect for this, with just a 5/6 minute walk to the start of the main old town area and around 25 minutes to the new town *****. Because of its location, the majority of the guests in mid-March were either couples (many older) or families. There were no large/loud groups, which meant that the hotel was generally pretty calm during the day and quiet at night. The all-inclusive food and drink was good and worth the money in our view. Branded spirits and beers plus nice cocktails. The food was generally good with different dishes each day. As is often the case with buffet-style, some of it could have been warmer, but it was all generally good quality and plenty of choice. Staff throughout the hotel were generally friendly and helpful. The hotel was always very clean. Rooms were cleaned, beds made and towels refresh daily. You could also request a full change of the bedsheets whenever you liked. Some parts of the room were a little dated/worn but nothing that was bad enough to be offputting at all. We went for a sea-view room which was definitely worth the upgrade price with fantastic views straight onto the beach and sea. The room itself felt a little small (especially for our 9-night stay) and didn't have that much storage for that length of stay either. It would be fine for a shorter 3/4 night stay though. As many have said, there are no balconies. We knew that when we booked and weren't bothered at the time, but once there, there were times when it would have been nice to sit out and enjoy the views. The room windows open wide though so you can still get plenty of fresh air. If you get the chance to request a specific room number, my advice would be to go for x07 or x08 on each floor if you want quiet. These are sea view rooms that are at the far end of the corridor, so away from the lifts and with less footfall passing. Rooms x01 and x02 are right across from the lifts and I think would have been quite noisy, both from the lifts and people constantly waiting/talking outside your room, so avoid these if you can! The main downside to the hotel is the lackof/size of the facilities. The main pool area felt very uninviting. Just a very plain area surrounded by buildings and not very appealing at all. The pool was always in the shade. There was a bar next to the pool but it was all closed up in March. As the pool area is two floors up at the back of the hotel, that meant that, if you wanted drinks, you had to go down two levels, along a long corridor and right across reception to the bar down there to get them. Particularly tricky when it comes to then carrying them back to the pool! There's an indoor heated pool as part of the hotel's Spa area, but the spa is an additional charge (around 30 euros an hour). The rooftop

We had a great week here. The hotel was very clean and the food was brilliant for an all inclusive. There was lots of choice and it was all hot when served - I’m a picky eater and always found something to eat! The staff were very friendly and attentive and the facilities were lovely. The rooftop terrace is a lovely suntrap to sit and sunbathe! We will definitely return here!

Sorry for the delay in writing this. We visited again at the beginning of February to celebrate my Wife Betty’s birthday. As usual our go to place for any celebration is the Villa Del Mar. We just adore spending time with our Familia española. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces. Our welcome was very warm. We booked through the hotel website and were rewarded with a Dream Jacuzzi room at no extra charge. We had a corner room so not only did we get views of the sea and the de l'Illa de Benidorm we also got views of the Parc d'Elx, which was great for people watching. The room was kept immaculate by the hard working house keeping team. Now I do not usually name names but I want to thank Karen in the restaurant for organising a little surprise for Betty’s birthday. The choral rendition of happy birthday to you was lovely. Thank you to all the camareros who joined in with the singing. You certainly gave Las Ketchup a run for their money . We will be back. nos vemos pronto.

The location it's perfect. Hotel clean,room with sea view and jacuzzi +bubbles,chocolate was amazing. We felt very grateful for service!! Such a nice welcome at check in by the romanian girl,she's simply lovely and professional all the way! Aida took care of us at breakfast tine and lunch happily singing and creating a nice atmosphere, many thanks to you all ,we will came back !

Fantastic hotel ! With a great location ! Food was amazing our room was lovely with a lovely welcome pack incl chocs and prosecco .loved the outside terrace on the top floor .very efficiently run ,only criticism I would give this lovely hotel is I wish the outside pool was heated in the colder months as was far too cold to swim in . Will def be back xx

We had a great stay here over the weekend of the Three King's. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing albeit the dining area is a bit on the small side for the amount of rooms in the hotel. Being there in January obviously the evenings were on the cool side and the main seating area for evening drinks were semi outside (unless you wanted to be in the downstairs disco/entertainment area) so had to wrap up well. Amazing sunsets from the outside roof terrace.

Review was for the staff who are excellent and food absolutely superb wonderful Seafood . Five stars plus Beds really comfortable and good quality products to use in the bathroom. Spa is lovely relaxing and rejuvenating. Chill out area so nice . But seating area in reception very small .

Do not go solo every time I had a meal staff comment you on own with a turned down mouth It was like feeling sorry for me stuck me out the way in the corner 8 day.in all inclusive I said I'm resting after sepsis please do not keep saying that and tell others staff the swimming pool only had double sun beds all ways full you really need single beds And more beds Anyway as I'm half Spanish I really enjoyed the food The entertainment ok when they bothered to put on they cancelled when football was on I don't like football I paid alot for a solo holiday Surly you must understand we actually pay your wages

This is our 3rd stay at the Villa del Mar. We stayed all inclusive, with a sea view. The views are amazing. There was a bottle of cava waiting for us, and the contents of the mini bar were complimentary. The bed was really comfortable, the room spotless and a lovely bathroom, with walk in rainfall shower . The staff are really friendly and helpful. The food was lovely, so much choice, there really was something for everyone. The location was perfect, just a short stroll into the old town and the beach right on your doorstep. Not to forget the rooftop bar, to chill out with a cocktail to watch the sunset. We can't wait to visit again next year, and I have no hesitation recommending the hotel.
