Marina Hotel
Benidorm, Costa Blanca

Mrs J Chappell, Palomares, Cuevas Del Almanzora

On arrival room was not ready, waited an hour then went up to room, room was found not to be clean, bathroom was ok and beds made but floor was dirty and very dusty, mirror was filthy in bedroom and headboard was inch thick in white dust, had to go to reception to complain and have the room re cleaned by the cleaner who complained they don't get enough time to clean the rooms?

Food was good but trying to find a table that was laid was a joke, all the dining staff were doing we're making up the tables for next meals, had to make our own table up twice and looked around so did a few other guests, asked waitress for a set up table she just shrugged didn’t even reply (I asked in Spanish).

Also lying by pool you are blasted by a large TV screen all day ok if you’re a rugby or football fan, and then they showed Christmas carols? Had to put cotton wool in ears to relax and noise from TV was just as loud in room with door shut! Also pool bar gives crisps/nuts to all Spanish guests with drinks not once we're we asked if we would like some.

Moved onto Hotel Rio Park for last night of holidays as marina was full what a difference! Wouldn't stay at Marina again, outdated, noisy all day and staff rude.

Good central location, good food, good service, helpful reception, only fault with hotel are the rooms which need refurbishing to bring them up to a 4 star hotel rating, bathrooms also need attention. It was not to much a problem as little time is spent in your room.

Mr T Heath, London

Totally enjoyed my stay at the Marina Hotel, rooms cleaned every day and staff very polite and friendly. If I could put any faults on the hotel it would be that rooms ending in 01 (ie I stayed in room 501) face the Disco bar which is a bit noisy and can keep you awake until around 6 o'clock in the morning. Apart from that the entertainment the hotel supplied was great.

Mr C Henderson , Stanley

Lovely friendly staff.

Ms M Geary, Stevenage

Lovely hotel. Close to all the amenities. Friendly helpful staff. Buffet breakfast provided a fairly good choice.

Mrs S Wake, Darlington

Room was without balcony and when I asked to change the woman receptionist said I had to pay an extra 10 euros per day if I wanted a balcony. The holiday was not sold to me as no balcony when I booked. I have stayed here twice before and had no problems but I also found the food was not as good as previous stays. I am not happy to return here in the future.

Mr S Egan, Doncaster

Very good pool area.

Mrs K Bennett, Liverpool

Great hotel with a great location Rooms are clean although a bit dated but didn't spend much time in there. We had breakfast every morning and it was lovely with a variety of choice. Definitely going back again next year to the same hotel.

Miss L Bowman, Whitehaven

Fantastic hotel. Well located and great atmosphere round pool. Staff so friendly and helpful. Rooms a little dated but adequately sized and great to have a fridge in the room. Only downside was the arrival of a child's football team mid stay who took over the pool area for a day.

Mr G Taylor, Liverpool

We were room only and the rooms were big and spacious with double beds too, cleaned regularly. The only negative was that it was quite noisy in the morning as the pool area is open to the public.

Mr S Easterbrook, Portsmouth

Class hotel. Fantastic pool and amenities. Excellent location.

Mr I Jones, Liverpool

Mrs L Brown, Renfrew

Mr A Chandler, Stoke-on-trent

Good location, big room and very clean, good pool area.

Miss K Drain, Glasgow

Marina hotel rooms were clean and comfortable with a small fridge which is always a bonus. The pool area is large with a good amount of sun loungers and a good priced bar, if you don't like loud music I would not advise it as it plays all day on a huge screen from 10am in the morning. We stayed half board, the breakfast was fine, the evening meal didn't have a massive choice but had something nice every night. I would rate the hotel as a good 3 star not 4.

Miss A Mckim, Paisley

It was exactly what I was looking for, near to the nightlife and beach. Pool area clean, staff very helpful. Rooms clean and tidied every day. Also plenty of lifts, food plenty of choice for breakfast and dinner.

Mrs S Kenny, Liverpool

Only down side of the hotel was the breakfast, very bland apart from that no faults at all.

Mrs M Verity, Rotherham

Fantastic base for Benidorm, very lively in the day, it has a big pool, plenty of bars. The rooms are very basic but got what you need. We will stay again but not full board, the food is dismal, not much choice and very poor; one evening it was pigs trotters. Also there is no waiter service you have to go and get your own drink.
