" Benidorm 09 Alpha apartments "

Submitted By: Marie Black
Stayed at the Alpha apartments Benidorm for 13 nights in August 2009. There were 2 adults and 2 fourteen year olds. The room was separated with two single beds and a divider with a separate room with a sofa bed and a pull out bed. You had to pay 50 euros deposit which was returnable on leaving provided all was well with the room. As we were staying for 13 nights we paid 35 euros for the safe which is in your hotel room (in the wardrobe) with 5 euros returnable. The balcony is huge which was quite pleasant. The hotel swimming pool is quite small but adequate. You pay one euro for one hour for air con but as we were out most of the day we only needed this for part of the night. We saw the maids perhaps twice during the two weeks (so bring your own toilet roll or buy from the supermarket which is about 3 minutes walk away). The kitchen area has a oven (both gas and electric). I couldnt get the cooker to work even after asking reception so had to throw away my pizza. There is a kettle and fridge in the kitchen area, and plenty of pots, pans and cutlery. I requested an iron which we were given at no extra cost.
The Alpha apartments are about a 15 minute walk to the beach with shops and cafes on the way. Once you get down to the beach, if you turn left, and walk for about 10-15 mins, you will find McDonalds and Burger King. If you turn right at the beach, you will come across another McDonalds. About 2 mins from this McDonalds, you will find all the designer shops (and also Zara and Mangos). There is also a nice beach area not far from Zara and Mangos with shaded trees, a bit like a park but really pleasant. Well worth taking time out as it can be very hot walking down to the beach.
There are many places to eat, whether you like English fish and chips, burgers, lasagne or more traditional paella, etc. The euro wasnt that good for value when we went so we were saved many a times by the Cafe de Oro which is a chinese restaurant about 2 mins from Alpha apartments where meals cost about 5 euros for big portions (sweet and sour balls at least 10 balls and you struggled to finish this)and the food was nice.
Aqualandia - brilliant. Clean, big, and enough fun for adults and children whether you like swimming or whether you like to chill on the deck chairs and there is even a jacuzzi. The deck chairs are four euros for the day but we tended to arrive after 4.00 p.m. and didnt have to pay (not sure if that was down to luck or what).
Terra Mitica - a bit disappointing. A few big rides, a few small rides but we struggled to want to come back as we had a 14 day pass.
Terra Natura - dont bother going. nobody does.
You can get discount tickets for terra mitica and mundomar at McDonalds.
Mundomar - good fun. Dolphin show and sea lion show worth seeing but not possibly more than once. You can take a picture with the sealions and dolphions for 10 euros each.
Also the square is where a lot of the english night life goes on. A lot of promoters trying to entice you into the clubs but its up to you where you want to go. Plus KFC is near by the Square.
Buses to Terra Mitica from Alpha apartments are 2 mins away.
Buses to Mundomar and Aqualandia are near the beach front (15 mins walk).
A walk down the beach front at night is also enjoyable as Fri to Sun nights are when most people walk so it can be quite busy.
Hope this review has helped.

Advice: Good fun, nice clean beach, plenty of places to eat

Activities: Cafe de Oro (chinese restaurant near Alpha apartments), Aqualandia and Mundomar

Good for: Beach

" Me and the Wife "

Submitted By: andy&linda
We have just had a 3 day break in the alpha appartments. From reading the reviews did not expect much but on arriving the room was clean and tidy for the two of us. Any more and it would be a bit of a push. The people that worked there was fine spoke good english. We had everything in our room and the appartments were near everything we needed so we are going back in september for a week. Had a good time Thanks

" Miss "

Submitted By: jackig
We came to the Alfa for a week in Nov,there was 4 of us-all girls.Apart from the freezing weather and the rain i dont really have anything bad to say as we were hardley in the apartments apart from when it was our bedtime.We were a bit miffed that we had to pay 60euro as a deposit when we arrived,if we were made aware of this before hand it wouldnt have been such a shock.The 1 bad thing i will say was that the lifts were the scariest 1s i had ever bin in,they fitted about 2 people comfortably and that is if each of you were about 5 stone,we were on the 9th floor so we had to endure the torture of the lift every time we wanted to go out.Its close to the square and shops and not that far from the beach-all in all you get what you pay for so dont expect a 5 star hotel and just take it for whar it is a cheap hotel.

" FANTASTIC!!!! "

Submitted By: amylou6971
I have to disagree with most people. I have just returned from a girls holiday at these apartments all ranging from 18 - 65. The barman the 1st night was a bit miserable but after that was brill. The only thing dodgy about these apartments was the small lifts. Everything else was basic but lovely and clean. People moaning you never got toilet roll. It's self catering get it yourself!! 0.95 cent less than a euro for 6 rolls!!! Going back next October and cant wait to stay here again!

" Me and my party have just returned... "

Submitted By: Mr C BENNETT
Me and my party have just returned from a two weeks stay here at the Alpha and reading the reviews on this website and many others we were very on edge to whether we would like it or not but i can honestly say that the reviews you read are 1 persons point of view a holiday is what you make and not how others portray it. You do have to pay 60 euro deposit or £40 for the room but you do it get it back on departure which is ideal for duty free at the airport :-) the cleaners dont come that often but who changes there bed everyday at home NOBODY!! and if you cant make your own bed then you best get trying. Food is really cheap in the hotel and around benidorm. We ate at the pub next door WOOKY HOLLOW II everyday for breakfast and tea...the food is fantastic great meals for both adults and kids. Benidorm is portrayed in the english eye as dirty and full of "FLEBBY" english but its not its full of people the same as you and i enjoying there holiday. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

" I have just returned from a week... "

Submitted By: Mr  Not Having A Good Time In Benidorm
I have just returned from a week staying at the Alpha Apartments. There were 4 of us sharing a room, as per the brochure guide however, the rooms would barely sleep 2. The room was very dirty and was not cleaned at anytime during our stay. We had to ask reception for toilet rolls as they were not replenished and the towels and bed sheets were not changed once during the week. The lifts were very small with graffiti on the walls. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone and I couldn't wait to leave.

I was well aware that Benidorm is simply Blackpool with sun but thought for weeks stag do, it wouldn't be that bad. Be warned, Benidorm is full of plebby English people whose clothes are generally two sizes too small. This was only made worse by the fact that the hotel staff have no cleanliness skills and are incapable of running a hotel.

" Just returned from 2 weeks staying at... "

Submitted By: Mr Alex MCDONALD
Just returned from 2 weeks staying at the Alpha.My wife and I are in our mid forties and found the apartments well suited for our needs.It is also perfect for people with young families.
Rooms were serviced once a week and fresh towels twice a week.Very centrally situated.Sleeping with balcony doors open you get a bit of noise from the Rose and Crown's terrible kareoke singers(of which I was one).
The only thing that spoiled my experience was the last weekend when a bunch of rowdy foul mouthed,ganja smoking neds moved in below us.They got home at 6AM making as much noise as they could.
If you can miss the louts you will have a good time.

" apartments were basic but... "

Submitted By: Mrs CJ Sansom
apartments were basic but comfortable. A bit of a shock to be askedfor 100 euro deposit on arrival.

Andy the barman was very friendly.

No real noise to speak of but we did hear of others having trouble with stag weekenders etc.

Overall a good base if you dont mind basic facilities. The room was never cleaned the whole time we were there. We were given clean towels once.

" I have just returned from the Alpha... "

Submitted By: Mr D PLATT
I have just returned from the Alpha apartments which were basic but clean. Upon arrival I was informed a 60 euro deposit was payable which was returned when leaving. There was construction work of 2 new apartment blocks which were very nearby. The road leading to the Alpha apartments leading from the beach is on a small incline which is tree lined which is fine during daylight but takes on a new meaning late at night as our party was confronted (by undesirables), so I would strongly recommend a taxi home.

" Myself, my friend and my parents... "

Submitted By: Ms SM Morrice
Myself, my friend and my parents stayed at these apartments last summer for a week.

On arrival it wasnt much to look at to be honest!
Reception are very unorganised and I wasnt convinced they knew what they were actually meant to be doing either on that note.

The lifts were very small and cramped which was a bit of a hassel.
When we eventually got in to the room we were greated by a clean, pleasant, basic room as we expected.
Large balcony too with pool view which was nice.
The staff were averagely friendly, a lot of them did'nt understand english very well though which was quite difficult at times to communicate!

Alpha Apartments is so central which i loved the most. There is a great place to the right from the main enterance of the apartments called Stanley Park Inn, where most mornings we would go for our breakfast. Welsh family - very friendly!

Alpha apartments is also a 5 minute walk from all the pubs and clubs at the 'English Square' if your into nights out like that. If not there is always Tommys next door to the apartments which you can't miss! GREAT if you like 'happy hour' and bingo, kareoke, comedians and all different kind of acts.

Overall Alpha apartments were great and you get what you pay for!
Will be arriving there in June this year again, cannot wait! :)

" I went for 2 weeks and shared with 3... "

Submitted By: Miss S Dawson
I went for 2 weeks and shared with 3 other people. The maid came once the whole time we were there and then only gave us clean towels. The bathroom didn’t get cleaned once; kitchen was disgusting all the furniture in poor condition. Sofa bed was broken, asked the manager to fix it but he never came. So we ended up sleeping on a mattress on the floor for 2 weeks. Not enough toilet paper for 4 people sharing a room. Asked for some more but we was only allowed one toilet roll per week. Only about 20 sun beds for about 60 people, so you had to fight for them in the morning. The lifts were in very bad condition. There was drill holes on the door where it looked like people had broken in previously. Would never stay here again even if some one paid me! The food was nice but that was about it.

" The rooms were pretty dirty on... "

Submitted By: Mr W Stevenson
The rooms were pretty dirty on arrival and were of a pretty basic standard. My father and mother in law were in the next apartment and found a used condom on the balcony on arrival. I suspect there is no inspection after cleaning.

We paid a £40 deposit and got it back no problem (even although no-one inspected the rooms after us!). The lifts were something that you would see in The Bill in the flats. Summing it up. Decent location. Pretty poor standards. At least the pool was clean and you didn’t pay for the sun beds.
