Gran Hotel Bali
Benidorm, Costa Blanca

Mr J Johnston, Erskine

The hotel was excellent and food was varied and good but some meals were not as warm as would have liked. The one issue was I had requested a balcony as I don't go out a lot at night and they said that none of their single occupancy rooms had balconies which was disappointing to say the least (once again travelling alone is punished).

Mr J Graham, Preston

Absolutely quality can't fault it, food was amazing for the price, definitely go back.

Mr J Graham, Preston

Absolutely stunning hotel, food was amazing for the price you pay, definitely go back.

Mrs P Healey, Coventry

Great family hotel, every thing you could want and easy to get into Benidorm old and new if you want.

Miss V Erskine, Motherwell

Food was mediocre, very little variety. Air con in the room was broken for most of our stay and there was a strong sewage smell throughout the hotel.

Mrs D Reynolds, Tipton

I did find the staff rude, except for those on reception.

Mr M Pollock, Plymouth

Mr J Foster, Scunthorpe

The hotel is breathtaking when you arrive with it's dominating height. It is a fantastic family hotel with entertainment all day and night for the kids. The immediate area has cafes, supermarket and gift shops and the beautiful beach is only a five minute walk. The food is impressive with a wide array of dishes, everything is fresh and well presented and have no faults to report.

A couple of tips. Due to the number of people at the hotel you have to get your towels out early to get a sunbed. The hotel offers a 15% discount on drinks and ice creams. Just give your room card to reception or the fantastic bar staff and some euros then pay using your card. Big savings to have here. Evening meal times are very busy. Either get there early to get ahead of the rush or relax, have a few drinks and give it an hour before going for dinner.

Great place. Loved it.

Mrs K Pollock, Port Glasgow

Great hotel for families, rooms are great with amazing views. Pool area fabulous with three pools to choose from, with fun activities for kids and adults. Varied choice of food to cater for all. Lovely friendly staff.

Mr J White, Sutton

Hotel very good, in a location that's a hidden gem. I cannot comment on the food as I have never liked hotel food. This area is not Benidorm it's too far out although a cab ride in and a lot better.

Mr T Hall, Clacton-on-sea

All ok, staff were very good, food was ok. But, although they say 300 meters from beach what they don't tell you is it's down hill all the way and when your nearly blind, spoilt our stay there. Was booked to go for ten days at Xmas but had to cancel.

Mrs W Campbell, Newry

Great hotel, very clean, good food. Our room had a lovely view of the pool, spacious room and bathroom with separate bath and shower, pool area was good with plenty of sun loungers.

Mr J Paton, Newmilns

We have stayed at the Bali on numerous occasions and the hotel still provides an excellent base far enough from the craziness of the Levante Beach area. We were on Half Board basis and always found enough choice to have something, although we did hear some negative comments from other clientele but I am unsure what they are expecting from a 4 star Benidorm hotel.

Rooms are decent, pool area could do with refurbishment in my opinion, staff are also helpful and will do what they can for you. There is also a great variety of people stay in the hotel but I expect less Hen/Stag do's than at other hotels although you do get a few. The fridge in the room is a god send and soap addicts will be delighted to know that the TV offers UK channels! The wi-fi offered is very hit and miss, great in the lobby but poor in the room although this is only around £7 for a week.

Mr G Mccaul, Londonderry

Great hotel, great place, great rooms, great swimming pools. Hotel staff need a personality, not nice people.

Miss T Hayward, Bedford

Excellent value for a 4* hotel. Very clean, hotel staff helpful, good range of food in the restaurants, pools very clean. We had a great stay there and would definitely go back there again.

Mr S Eaton, Stockport

I went all inclusive and didn't get my money's worth. Breakfast and water are not part of the all inclusive so it's not all inclusive then. The food was barely edible, not much choice the same every night dry bland chewy food. For a hotel so big they only had 1 bar with 2 people serving so it could take up to 45-50 minutes to get a drink, cocktails are not part of the all inclusive. Checking in took way too long, there must of been about 30 people waiting to check in they only had 1 person on the reception desk so had to queue up for over 2 hours so bad service all round. Also the staff are miserable and arrogant.

On the plus side the hotel itself is very nice, good views all around and seem to be very clean the only downside is it's about 35-40 minute walk to any decent bars. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone and I wouldn't stay here again even if it was half price.

Mr G Cooney, Derby

Breakfast each morning was cold even though we were there at the 08:00 opening. Not enough staff at the bars during the day. On the last night we had a group of very drunk and noisy lads in the next room, waking everybody up at 04:00. Should think to segregate couples and families away from groups of young party goers.

Mrs P Mcdowell , Downpatrick

Beautiful hotel. Quieter area Cala just outside Benidorm. Overall enjoyed our stay, bit disappointed that we were all inclusive and had to pay 6.50 euro a day to use gym. Would go back again.

Mr M Oldacre, Coventry

Everything was ok, maybe not a 4 star in my opinion. I have stayed at 3 star hotels that were equal to this but still a great stay.

Mrs S Carter, Burnley

We like the location in the quieter area of Benidorm, hotel is comfortable and clean, plenty of sun loungers. Good to have a fridge and safety deposit box in the room. Staff were very good with any queries we had.
