" worst holiday for 10 years "

All I can say is if this is the result of Thomson combining their company with First choice then a huge mistake has been made. What an abysmal holiday we have just had and what a complete waste of hard earned money. We have been using Thomson Gold holidays for just about 10 years and up to now have been pretty happy, no kids, no gangs of either men or women and usually the hotels ( although there have been a few that needed a bit of TLC ) are very nice and in a quiet location, food has always been very good except for this time. The Hotel Lavente Club was a nightmare, in the broucher brand new, well why then is there mould in the shower and bathrooms, shower cubical doors that leak, the only redeming quality is that the beds were quite comfortable and the room sizes were very good. The food was definitely not up to a Gold Hotel standard, the fact that you have to pay for a fridge is disgusting when you have already paid a premium for staying in a gold hotel. This hotel was supposed to be 4 star, well I've stayed in 2 star B&B in Blackpool that was better. Groups of football supporters who wore their football tops and shorts to evening meals, foul language and threatening behaviour not what you expect from Thomson Gold, it made the 10 days at this hotel feel like 10 months, not impressed at all. There was definitely not enough staff in the dining room, we ended up clearing our table ourselves half the time, when you choose to pay to stay in a Gold Hotel you expect it to be couples and like minded people who enjoy a higher standard of hotel, food, clientèle and staff, if I wanted to share my holiday with larger louts I wouldn't need to pay so much money. Maybe if you haven't stayed in a Gold Hotel Before this one might seem ok but for seasoned Gold users it was awful definitely not up to standard..

Advice: If you enjoy tv sport, strippers and all the worst part of being a brit then you will love it!

Activities: the airport to go home..

" gold ...i dont think so "

i have just returned from this hotel ...and realy not up to much... 4 star it is not and i will be writing to thomsons to ask what there gold standard means.Says in their brouchur that its on every one's lips...it is people cant believe they have paid this sort of money for this hotel...
day one ..arrive at 12 noon...room is not ready told to wait in bar for 90 mins with not even a comp coffee or drink... still day one i had upgraded my room however they got the dates wrong so i had to pay another 15 euroes for their mistake.
upgrade room part of the deal is water every day this only happens when you ask for it....bottle of wine on arrival we got red we wanted white called room service to get it changed you would have thought i had asked for the sun to be turned off.. 2 days it took and then only with the help of a very good rep. to get it opened .as there is no cork screw in the room they told me "I" needed to go down to the bar (15 floors) so the bar staff could open it for me.
FOOD...quite good
ENTERTAINMENT...very poor(silly pool games and second rate acts)
LOCATION...bars across road realy good ..BUT quite a walk to the beach and main night life.
STAFF...only seems to be about 6 or seven running the hotel service quite slow in bars ..BUT VERY GOOD in dining room.
ROOMS...quite clean..BUT dont upgrade your room not worth the extra money.
OVERALL......STAYED IN BETTER

" One Good Entertainer "

An outofdate hotel, needs revamping, seriously. However great location, friendly staff. Food is very poor. Becomes tedious over 2 weeks. The spa is rather expensive but worth a visit. I won my voucher from the animation games :) At least benidorm was not overly crowded as I had heard before my coming over. beaches are very clean, well equiped. It is right next to Benidorm palace, a nightclub. Should check it out once you're there.
Wat indeed made our visit worth it was the Saturday nite entertainment. a chap named Jon Silver. with all he had to offer, made us party. We wish him all the very best. such a nice guy and amazing singer.
I'm interested to see how thomson will handle this hotel's upgrading to gold. As it stands, be prepared to complain. They should give over the entertainment to Jon Silver. That will help!

Advice: Good time of the year to avoid the crowds.

Activities: Saturday Night with Jon Silver

" Quick Holiday "

We booked this holiday based on a visit in January 2008. Unfortunately we were disappointed in the food. The breakfast was good but lunch became boring very quickly. The salad was repetitive and the hot main courses too. Dinner was even worse, the meat was cheap and disappointing. It appears the Chef thinks we eat chips with everything. For hot sweet there would be just custard available. Sometimes bread and butter pudding with no custard or fresh cream. In fact fresh cream never appeared. On occasions we were the first in the dinning room and the food was still cold. Although the food is a big disappointment, the rooms are very good and kept clean. The staff were great. Overall try somewhere else first if you want a 4*

Advice: Brilliant. Good valve for money and loads to do.

Activities: The Palladium Singers Night.

" THE LEVANTE CLUB HOTEL REVIEW !!!!!!  "

I have been to benidorm many times and i have stopped in different hotels but when i stopped in the levante club it was fantastic it is soo clean and spacious...
the pool is a great size and really refreshing as the water is freeezziing!!
but then again it keeps you cool.
it is not that far away from all of the bars and resteraunts it is about 20 min walk to the beach... the food is fantastic as i am a fussy eater but they have al different options... the only thing is that the food is repeated quite often but is still good. the staff are very hard working and kind ... especiall at the reception even when they are on the phone they still kinda listen to you. i think it is good for kids with the games area and you dont allways have to stay in the hotel they is the beasch and shop it is relly good. if i could rate this hotel higher than ten then i would its apsolutly fantastic.... !!!! keep it up levante club !!!!!! your great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advice: the rainbow and other pubs

" We have been to the Levante Club... "

We have been to the Levante Club hotel twice now. A lovely hotel and good food. The rooms are very spacious and we had no problems with noise. The pool is a good size and plenty sun beds. The staff were friendly too. The only draw back is the rubbish entertainment, but we had to laugh. The bars near the hotel are fine if you dont feel like venturing into town which can be a bit rough as some of the benidorm holiday makers leave a lot to be desired (namely, the brits). A taxi rank is situated outside the hotel so its really convienient and theres a supermarket over the road. All summed up, a great holiday.

" Hotel was clean and rooms/bathroom... "

Hotel was clean and rooms/bathroom were spacious.The staff were on the whole very friendly and an enjoyable time was had by my family group apart from the following.

Issues

1. Towels being placed on sunbeds at approx 8.30am and then the beds remaining empty until late afternoon/early evening and sometimes not even being used at all .

2. One of the group that I was with picked up an infection in his lips and when he consulted a local doctor was told that it could have been caught from the pool or the nearby waterpark (Aqualandia) as he treats this complaint regularly although talking to some of the other guests there has been a lot of cases recently from hotel .

3. The pool does not appear big enough to cater for all the people from the hotel should they choose to use it.

4. Some of the staff at the hotel appeared to be very biased towards the Spanish tourists staying there in preference to the other foreign tourists who were always served/dealt with after. (maybe a language barrier needs to be overcome with some of the staff)

5. There always seemed to be a problem with at least 1 of the 4 passenger lifts being out of order and the revolving front door which only worked when it wanted too.

" The hotel is nothing special in its... "

The hotel is nothing special in its self. breakfast is ok and tea is poor as not alot of variety.

alot of english spoil it really. Rooms are quite large with separate shower cubicle in bathroom. rooms have air-con but no point as it doesn't make difference. good area. short walk to waterpark which was amazing. supermarkwet down road called maxi-dia. be careful to watch out for staff there as they are all ignorant to english. overall ok holiday but wouldn't go to same hotel again.

" The rating of 3 comes from the... "

The rating of 3 comes from the location of the hotel, it was situated in a good area, close to everything and not a great distance to walk back at night.

I would like to say the negative points below while they should be taken into account, it did not stop us enjoying our holiday (the first without the children in 15 years - nothing was going to spoil it). Benidorm was brilliant, enjoyed every nightout in all the bars, including the tribute bars, the hypnotis at Valentines was especially good and the irish bar The Harp was a brilliant last night. We will be going back to Benidorm, with the children but to another hotel.

We only got stopped once by a time share tout, but our lack of enthusiasm put him off. The electronic shops are quite pricey. We forgot our speakers and went to buy some 20 euros for a set, which went down to 15 euros. we eventually found some in one of the smaller shops for 5.80 euros, in the UK you can buy them for as little as £3.

On arrival we were asked for £40 refundable deposit for breakages, something I've never been asked for before. The room was okay and generally clean (except the top draw of the dressing table - which was full of sweets, cotton buds and other non descript things). The TV did not work, and the shower while it worked it looked like it was going to break at any moment. We reported all these things - never sorted out in the time we were there. We had no problem with noise at night.

The first 2 days the sunbeds were all taken, but after that we always found sunbeds, though some of them had towels on all day and people never came to them, which was very annoying. The pool area was very slippery and I have never seen so many people fall and with quite a bang.

We did not have any children with us, but we did notice that the staff were quite short with the children and not friendly at all. The enterainmentment at night was very poor, especially for children and didn't start till quite late, or just never showed up. We only stayed for one night. We walked to The Ambassador a couple of nights and there entertainment was alot better and was geared towards children.

The FOOD - where do I start, the first morning I couldn't stop laughing, I'd never eaten anything so bad (or so I thought), how can you kill cornflakes or museli, it took me 3 days of courage to try the rice crispies, just as bad. The evening meals were no better, fried eggs in pasta sauce was one offering, everything was in some sort of sauce, so you couldn't identify it and nothing was labeled well. The soup was pot luck and usually not what it said on the menu. We did notice as the buffet shut down, the staff helped themselves and looked like they were taking it home. Which made us think it was just our taste in food. I spoke to quite a few people and they were of the same opinion. We went upto the LeVante hotel, which looked really nice. I spoke to people there and they were having the same problem with the food and said the children were struggling.

" I stayed at this hotel for a week at... "

I stayed at this hotel for a week at the start of june and the hotel was BRILLIANT! it looks so much better than in the holiday books and you get so much more than what you pay for!

Some people have written reviews about the APARTMENTS and NOT the hotel! They are both totally seperarte and are not situated together!! So dont take any notice!!

The staff were really friendly, especially the hotels bars entertainment chap, who was ace! The pool area was lovely, had no trouble getting sunbed and no-one put towels on them either. Some days we didnt wake up till gone 10am and there would plenty left and in the right spots! There is a bar near the pool area that serves, ice cream, drinks, and snack like pizza and sandwiches.

We stayed half board, there is a dress code for men in the dinning area, no short sleeves tops and short also woman have to be pretty covered up, no wandering in your swimsuits! The staff did sent back people to get changed if they didnt fit the criteria! Breakfast was served in a buffet style with loads to choose from such as full english breakfast, bread rolls, toast, fruit, cerals with a selection of fruit juices! Food was great but the combination was the only was i could describe it was odd. for example roast potatoes and curry :S. It was served in a buffet style and there was lots to choose from, salads, fruit, currys, pasta dishes, roast dinner, soups, pizza, lasagne and many more! As you sit to the table a staff member came to take your order of drinks,in the eveining these are not free you do have to pay for them as you leave!

Bedroom are HUGE and clean, the bathroom is massive, with a bath that has a shower, a seperate shower, hair dryer, massive mirror toilet and a bumwash or whatever you call it! All room has a balcony overlooking the pool! The rooms are truely magical, its lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by!
PLEASE NOTE: We didnt find any stairs to get up and down to each and everyfloor bar the emergency stairs which were not allowed to use them! So if you dont like lifts or have a phobia this isnt the place for you!!!!

When walking out of the hotel across the road are lots of bars (the noise cant be heard from your rooms) and furhter down there is a supermarket. when coming out of the hotel if you turn right and carry on walking down the road there are lots of shops down this road, there are signs for the beach which if you follow will take you down a road that is basically a strip of shops, lovely to pop in and out of to have a nosey! The beach is a 10min walk, for the elderly this may be abit of a mission as its a slight hill back to the hotel. The beach is lovely and if that where you want to be to get totally bronze as its boiling down there! But a gorgeous area!

The hotel has many activities, such as darts, tennis football (never heard of this before but the males of all ages enjoyed it). The was always a hotel entertainer walking around involving the kids with games to ensure that parent can relax too! Bingo is also played be careful if you win as they love to embarress you and wont stop until they have achieved this- but its all good fun!! Downstairs is a games room, with basketball, pool, table tennis and a little football table! Next door is the hotel bar that we spent alot of time is as is great fun! Their are two free shows each night such as the parrots at do different things such as ride a bike, bird and reptile shoes, micheal jackson look alike act, dancers there are alsorts! Their is happy hour from twice each night, and instead of in england where its cheaper, in spain you happy hour is buy one and have another free!! Bingo is also played inbetween entertainment and children are involved to call out the number and they learn abit of spanish too! If you win bingo you either win a free bottle of bubbly or 2 free tickets to the spa!

We didnt try the spa but heard it was great and on the last day we found out the gym was free! We were gutted we didnt take advantage of this as 2days of our holiday it rainied!

I could go on telling you how wonderful this holiday was! I shall definatly be returning! Its a holiday for all ages, whether you want to relax, adventure or party this is definatly the place! An amazingly built, clean and friendly hotel that you feel immediatly relax! Enough of me blabbing on, go and see for yourself, you definatly wont regret it!!!!!!!

" The Levante Club Apartments are in a... "

The Levante Club Apartments are in a good location, and thats the only thing good about them. The staff were absolutely unhelpful or friendly always on the phone, I was ignored so many times I gave up and walked away. The pool area is very slippery, I saw several people slip over, one lady so bad she cut her head open.The entertainment is almost non exsistant with the childrens shows starting around 11 pm. The noise kept me and my family awake all night and we couldnt close the bedroom windows as the bedrooms didnt have air con. I also didnt like the fact that there were several groups of young men on stag weeks, they were roudy and intimidating, leaving San Miguel bottles all around the pool. I wouldnt consider going back for a second time.

" My first visit to this Hotel was in... "

My first visit to this Hotel was in June 2006, and absolutely loved it, so much so we decided to go back in 2007 and my parents came with us.

I had heard that this hotel was originally adult only; I was taking my then 5 year old son, so was slightly worried. I worried for nothing. The staff is great; the food was great and the pubs nearby were great.

When we returned home after our 2007 holiday, we decided in 2008 we would go somewhere else. But when it comes down to booking, we have decided to go back to Levante Club Hotel. We are so satisfied with the Hotel and its facilities we can’t face going anywhere else.

I would recommend this Hotel to anyone. The only downside is it’s only available via First Choice so you can’t haggle down the price!
