Acuarium II Apartments

1 reader found this review helpful

Apartments where basic but clean didn't get room cleaned and stayed there for a week this was after complaining a couple times, worst part was the cheeky,arrogant woman on reception who demanded 150 euro cash on arrival! As we where leaving early morning we where told money would be sent back to us by postal order or cheque after 21 days as they don't pay back deposits until you vacate your apartment

when we first arrived the room was hot and uncomfortable to stay in. When we had booked the room we was promised a television, safe to keep our possessions in and a bed, but to our disbelief we had to rent out a television for 27 euros just for a week! The safe was easy to break in but even the safe we had to pay 14 euros a week for a safe that a blind man could break into! the bed we was promised was nothing more than a sofa bed with a pull out bed underneath, the sheets we had to put on didn't get better they were not wasted properly as there were still marks on the sheets. When sat on the sofa me and my mum always got an itch and was always living with what seemed liked hundreds of mossys and a floor full of dust which did not help my asthma. when it came to sleeping at night we fount it extremely hard and wasn't able to sleep till 2 because of the loud noise from the stag and hen do's plus the 'beds' were as hard as rock! i advise you never go to this hotel ever it will save you so much money!

we have just returned after spending a week in these apartments i must admit i was considering canceling my holiday due to the bad reviews i have read but i was pleasently suprised when we arrived the apartment was very clean and was well equiped we stayed on the 15th floor and had fabulous views the apartments are local to all restaurants a big market on tues and sun the beach is a 10 min walk the bar K and Gs across the road have two of the most helpful people i have come across they told us the best attractions and deals on trips and good restaurants to visit they served food at the bar that was really good and well priced highly recommended we had no problem getting our deposit back either it was a pain having to go to another hotel due to landing early hours for the keys but due to reviews i did know where to go we will be going back to these apartments

just come back from a week at the Aquarium 11. We didn't know what to expect after reading all the bad reviews.But when we arrived we were pleasantly surprized with what we found. We only had a studio which was quite small but this was't a problem we had a settee with pull out bed.All bed linnen and towels spottlessly clean and changed midweek. The studio itself looked like it had been recentley refurbished with new bathroom and kitchen units equipped with doulble hob.microwave,coffee maker,fidge,kettle ,saucpans,crockery and every thing you need for basic usage. We found the staff very pleasant and when we had a slight problem it was sorted straight away.We had no problem with any noise at night or early hours in the morning and we were on a low level block. We would stay at these apartments again,but would make sure we had a day flight as we too had to collect our keys from the alpha apartments but we already new this so it wasn't a problem we just got dropped there on our transfer then got a taxi. No problem getting our deposit back. All I can say is if you pay for basic then expect basic not star

We 3 adults 1x child stopped for a week over the school holidays feb.
Like what has been said before if you arrive in the middle of the night you have a bit of a nightmare to get your keys.
We arrived in the day got the keys paid the 150euro never had a problem in getting it back.
We was on the 3rd floor had a great room with all you need when you are self catering. room nice and very clean clean bedding and towels the only thing i would say is the bath is very small. we was asked if we needed any towels. but we was ok.
never used the pool because it was to cold
i would go back again but i would arrive in the day so there are no problems with getting the keys.

Firstly i will say 11 of us went on a stag party and stayed in this place so you can really imagine how poor it was if a stag party say its poor.
These apartments are at best a 1 star development, on arrival we found the only pool in Benidorm to be drained!!!
The rooms are very dated in decor and on the small side,
I stayed in 11h and it had 2 single beds in a room that was tiny.
I chose to sleep on the couch bed which was known as the slab!!
we were there 4 days and not once did we see a member of staff so that answers next question about the housekeeping, there isn`t any!!
To be honest to sum this up if i had tane my wife and son to aquarium 2 i would have paid to just go somewhere else, the next block up aquarium 3 looks alot nicer but was never in it.
in short keep away from these digs you have been warned even by a non fussy stag group!

Thought id write a review on my opinion as we all see things differently, Well to be honest i was actually dreading going as i read the reviews about Acuarium 2.
When we got to the airport we where meant to get a bus, but we just got a taxi to be on the safe side, as alicante is a good bit away from benidorm! We First Arrived After Paying 65 Euros for a taxi, We went in the door and finally realised that you go next door to the reception, the staff actually speak really good english, only had to give 100 pound for the deposit, we were given two keys and hadnt a clue what the other one was for, we then realised it was for the door/gate fing downstairs, as its normally locked at night time.
We stayed on the 21st floor, think it was 21f the one before last, i looked at are door and didnt even want to open it, it was chipped and grubby looking, so my bf opened the door, which took alot of time, are door was always stuck.
We went inside to expect a sofa bed, but we had two single beds, inside are apartment it wasnt that bad to b honest, was cleanish,had are towels changed twice :/ and sheets werent changed at all. Water was always roasting. First three nights were actually quite scary for me as im only 16 and it was only me and my bf staying there,Spanish people above me and beside me were partying, dis went on for all hours and you cant even lock your patio doors. Are last night we were in late, so we stayed up as are bus was early hours of morn, Someone kept trying to open are door at 5 in morning, isnt the safest of places, other apartments/hotels i seen had guards there 24/7. If your wise you'd pay a wee bit more and go else where. Also there was no air conitioning so was uncomfortable sleeping at night. If you like your sleep your best not coming here,
I know it seems as if i keep going on, but i just want people to know what there in for.
Apart From all the bad points i loved benidorm, the view from are apartment was lovely, will be coming back but staying else where,
Places to eat, i recommend the grill house, little bit exspensive tho, subway and burgerking is just like ares! Hated Mcdonalds.
Entertainment at night,(VALETINES), its brill! , went here alot,you need to be thick skinned tho, really good crack, Morgans tavern round the corner, Not bad.
Havent nothing else to say,

i stayed here for 2wks had 2 rooms and within 30min asked the rep to get me !!out of here !!it was a sheer disgrace.the rooms was filthy and the cutlery well enough said the fridge leaked in both apartments lived out of suitcases for 2weeks wardrobes was filthy.the beach towels we had to use to cover the dirty mattress.it was unreal.the hotel should be on the life of grime.we needed danger money as the apartments from above was full of young lads they was throwing chairs/bottles/glasses down on to the tennis court??umm i would say tip !!! but decribed as a tennis court???.i am so annoyed that the travel companys are allowing this apartment to be on there books.im taking legal action.against my travel company.it cost me as much as it would of to have gone all inclusive as the self catering side of it was a shambles and trufully i dont think i could of used the dirty disgusting pans/plates ect.and as for the bathroom well you needed another bath/shower after using it.please think twice i have submitted photos they dont lie.the photo is of the cutlery draw

My boyfriend and i booked these apartments after seeing the pictures which looked like fairly nice apartments in a nice enough location. I cannot tell you how misleading these were. We arrived to find that the hotel had overbooked and so we were moved all the way across town, paying the taxi ourselves, until we arrived at a shabby building were nothing seemed to work. There was no bed to sleep on, only a sofa, the room was filthy and uninhabitable. On trying to find someone to help us, we discovered nobody, and the one person we could find advised us that there were no night watchmen so we should beware of the frequent break ins experienced by the hotel. As a 17 yr old i found myself frightened, helpless and completely disregarded by the travel agency Travel Republic with whom i had booked. I had to leave the hotel and find alternative accomadation myself with no help from the hotel or the agency. On my return i of course complained and neither the travel agency or the owners of the hotel LowCostBeds have made any attempt to even discuss the issue propery. These people literally couldn't care less about the customer. Please save yourself the hassle.
