Gala Placidia Hotel
Spain, Europe
Costa Blanca
So you've got the sun, the sea and the sand. You've got all the bars, restaurants and attractions of Benidorm at your disposal. Now you're just going to need a hotel to go with that...
Take a look at the Gala Placidia Hotel. It's one of Benidorm's best located hotels, just 600 metres from the gorgeous Levante beach (Please note that the hotel is up a steep hill). Better yet, it's one of Benidorm's friendliest hotels too. Let's be honest, Benidorm is all geared up for tourists - they know how to treat us well. But staying at the Gala Placidia Hotel can feel just that little bit extra special.
Try the Gala Placidia Hotel for a big taste of Benidorm hospitality (beach style):
When you're in Spain, it's nice to be close to the beach. And when you stay at the Gala Placidia Hotel you're only going to be about 600 metres away. Perfect. The beach at Levante is one of the region's best too. Lots of clean, golden sand and big horizons. Take it easy, take a dip, or get adventurous and try a few water sports - it's your holiday, make the most of it.
The irresistible allure of the beach is just one of the reasons people choose the Gala Placidia Hotel. It's perfectly placed for getting out and about in Benidorm too. Whether you get out by day for shopping and sightseeing, or by night for sangria and partying, the Gala Placidia is never far away. And there's always a warm welcome waiting for you.
There's certainly plenty there to help make the Gala Placidia feel like home for a week or two. Of course a comfortable room can help anywhere feel like home, and the Gala Placidia's rooms are comfy and cosy. They come equipped with air conditioning, TV, telephone, bath and shower as well as a strong box. All rooms have a balcony or terrace - somewhere else to relax and take in the sun and the sangria.
One of the other nice things about the Gala Placidia Hotel is its evening entertainment programme. It helps bring guests together and gives this hotel its close-knit, welcoming feel.
Another great place for guests to get together is around the main pool - whether you want to stretch out in the sun, swim a few laps or take a siesta. There's a children's pool too, and even a cot service (at a fee), so families are definitely welcome at the Gala Placidia.
Add to all of that a great buffet service and restaurant, TV room and you've got a hotel that ticks all the boxes.
With its great location, friendly ambience and abundant facilities, the Gala Placidia is always going to be one of this region's most popular tourist hotels.

Gallavanting at The Gala Placida!
I went along with three friends in December 2025 for a week's break. We took the all-inclusive package. Booking in was pleasant and quick. Staff were excellent throughout our holiday. Kind, patient, friendly and took pride in their work. The rooms were good and ideal for our stay. Bathroom with shower was clean throughout. Even though it was December there was entertainment on most/every night. There was a quiz and a karaoke and both were enjoyable nights. The food was very good and plentiful. There was a lot of variety and the menu changed each day. Some had complained that some of the food got cold but that was due to some of the guests not putting the trays back over the dishes to keep the food warm. All in all this was a fantastic hotel to stay at in Benidorm. Excellent staff, good entertainment, decent choices for meals and good facilities. Two of us who attended are coming back again in October with our wives (and his son). We can't wait to come back to The Gala Placida and Benidorm!

Fast check in nice room pool view clean no kettle or fridge cleaned every day bath in shower. Stay all inclusive fine until last day finished at 12 but didn't arrive till 6pm first day i think this is very wrong they do it no matter what time you arrive. Food was ok staff were great best thing about hotel in all very clean and nice hotel all inclusive for last day let's them down so because of that would probably not stay again. Everyone says about noise in rooms in didn't get disturbed personally.

Fantastic stay
Briiant location, food was very good, different option every night, I'm a fussy eater and always worry about food being undercooked when abroad, but food here was done to perfection.
Staff are the most, genuine people, and they really do have their guest interests at heart.
All the staff are friendly, from reception the moment we arrived, to the hall for food, bar staff outside, everyone is genuinely kind.
The cleaners are great, very respectful, keep your room clean and tidy, always present you with a smile.
The pools are brilliant, no sunbed wars ( pool doesn't open to guest until 10am ) we got a sunbed everyday, pools are big, there's two of them, and the snack bar besides the pool is fantastic.
The location is great, few minutes walk to the indoor market, beach around 10 minutes walk.
Honestly, anyone looking to stay here, I'd recommend it, I've been to many hotels and this one is up there with the best, I don't know why it's a 3 star hotel, should be higher.
The whole place is just great, and we will be returning.

Good family holiday
Good location close to shops and beach. Pool really nice,a variety of food, friendly staff. Coulld do with fridge in room
great bang for buck
I have been to this hotel on many occasions all inclusive, you have buffet breakfast lunch and dinner between breakfast and lunch there is a limited snack service, afternoon i believe is 5-6.30pm there is another limited snack service, but how often do you need to eat? in my opinion the food is very good with plenty choice, themed menus on an evening, the drinks for a budget AI are very good, the rooms are cleaned daily, everything is quite modern looking, its a great location with been close to the strip but far away enough to avoid the hustle and bustle, will throw in the negatives as everything is horses for courses, the hill of the main road is quite steep, i wish there was a mini fridge in room, maybe a kettle, but this could increase the price so bare this in mind, all the staff are friendly, there has been over the years a couple bad apples but they seem to have now left, the evening entertainment is a bit hit and miss but you are in benidorm with all the live entertainment, so who stays in the hotel every night? not sure if any of the rooms have walk in showers if you have mobility issues which is now something i have to look at, overall its its great bang for buck with many returning guests! its suits me and my partner is we like it as a relaxing friendly base, but we also still like to go out for the entertainment and sample some of the local eateries, we can all go to different places and find fault, we do not look under the bed for fluff or bit of dust that you have to stand on tip toe to find, do not be that Karen ;0)
