BEWARE OF FULL BOARD
Hotel has obviously seen better day, tired and grubby rooms.
My main gripe is the FULL BOARD. Apart from breakfast, where you can have tea, coffee juice and water, at lunch and dinner they SWITCH OFF the water machines and force you to PAY for bottles of water. I’ve never known a hotel to do this. When I took my own water in, I was told it was not allowed very loudly by the rude staff! Oh and good luck finding a clean plate, had to go through 4 or 5 plates until you get one that hasn’t got food residue on it.

SHOCKING HYGIENE STANDARDS – AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS
SHOCKING HYGIENE STANDARDS – AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS!!!
Our experience at the Meliá Benidorm was extremely disappointing.
The hygiene standards in the dining area were absolutely appalling. Plates and tables were not cleaned to an acceptable standard, which made eating there very unpleasant. Unfortunately, the cleanliness issues extended to our room, where we found what appeared to be pubic hairs in the bedding. This was completely unacceptable and raised serious concerns about whether the bed linen had been properly changed and cleaned.
The lifts were also very concerning, with a noticeable rocking motion that made them feel unstable and potentially unsafe. They were extremely slow to reach each floor, resulting in long waiting times and further frustration.
The food choices were also very limited and did not meet the standard we expected from a Meliá hotel.
What made the dining experience even more frustrating was the constant focus on charging guests for drinks. At mealtimes, staff regularly approached customers to charge for water and other beverages, explaining that these were not included with either half-board or full-board arrangements. It felt as though more attention was being given to selling drinks than providing good service and maintaining cleanliness.
We also found a number of the staff to be unfriendly and unhelpful, which only added to the disappointment.
We expected considerably better standards from the Meliá brand, particularly when it came to basic hygiene, cleanliness and customer service. Based on our experience, I could not recommend this hotel.
Absolutely amazing
Meliá Benidorm has been the best hotel we have ever stayed in if I could rate higher I would the staff are absolutely fantastic nothing is too much trouble , Alexis on reception checked us in and out and was so friendly and helpful, the animation team are absolutely fantastic with the children , the atmosphere around the pool during the day was amazing , food was fantastic always something we liked and the location is perfect away from all the loud crowds but still close enough to everything we were up on the 12th floor and the view was amazing , thank you Meliá we will be back next year !
Brilliant place!
Genuinely what a brilliant place. I’ve come to realise that reading reviews can be so mixed and you should go with what you want personally out of somewhere. So I will summarise the good and the bad below:
Good (more than good!)
- Brilliant breakfast, lots of options, actual normal English like sausages. We only did breakfast so cannot comment on others.
- Massive pool with lots going on and no sunbed war as long as arriving down by 11am.
- Lovely room, our air con was faulty on arrival and they came to fix it instantly.
- Great location, 15 mins from main beach area but still had choice of bars, shops on door step. Also 15 mins walk to aqualandia and has Lidl over the road.
Bad (really honestly not that bad)
- No stairs option so lifts can be slow/busy at times
- if you like sleeping early probably not for you. Loud music finished at midnight. Is dulled by shutting balcony door. We did not care, as love a bit of an atmosphere and we went out every night too.
I would return in an instant.
Glad to be back home
Hotel needs a revamp on walking in to reception very impressed but once in room it’s dated and dirty, other guests were very inconsiderate banging shouting and a lady screaming at 3am which terrified my 10 year old (I know the hotel can’t control the gusts but I would say pay a bit more and stay somewhere else)
