Magic Aqua Rock Gardens

I didn't get a chance to read reviews beforehand as had to book a replacement holiday quickly, I'd never considered going to benidorm before & was a little unsure about it but we had a fabulous week that went far too quickly, the hotel is massive it took us a few days to get our bearings. We arrived very late at night & hungry, the restaurant was obviously closed but fortunately there are 2 burger bars a 3 minute walk from the hotel open until 3am. Our room was beautiful & mini fridge stocked with beer,cava, fizzy pop & bottled water. I would have liked more pillows but probably should have asked. Room was cleaned well everyday & fridge restocked but tea & coffee not replaced. The choice of drinks at this hotel is the best I've seen & all known brands. Be prepared though they make them STRONG!!! I had to water my cocktails down & ask for a tiny gin ?. Food looked amazing but was unfortunately not very hot most of the time, I am a fussy eater though & lived off prawns (which were huge) & pudding most days, my daughter loved the food but hubby wasn't keen, we ate out a couple of times for a change. The roof top bar (chill out area) was our favourite place to be quiet & stunning views, be ready to que up from 11.30am if you want one of the beds up there. We loved the evening entertainment in the mogambos bar run by Tony He's happy to help with any questions & always ready for a chat when he sees you, made us all feel very welcome

First of all perfect location for the beach about a five minute walk,weather was just amazing about 30° every day seemingly above normal for this time of year. Check in was very fast and efficient. When we got to our room there was no balcony at all which was very disappointing especially for hanging out wet clothes and swim gear so that was quite frustrating at times. Room was quite small but beds were very comfortable. It was great to have the English channels BBC and ITV to catch up on soaps etc. The free wifi was excellent. The was ok got a bit sick of it after a few days boys would only eat pasta and bolognese. Really liked the scrambled egg usually in places it can be watered down but this wasn't. Most evenings we went to the quieter restaurant the African falls. Got served Rose Wine straight from a bottle which was lovely never seen that in all inclusive before. Have to say a big shout out to your one of your waitresses Tatiana whom was a real lady. Now to the pool area boys were delighted with the slides and the Jacuzzi on the top area. I found the Lifeguards extremely strict forever blowing their whistles told my son off a couple of times for no real apparent reason annoyed my husband. Couldn't have inflatables in the pool which was over the top never a problem anywhere else we went other years. We were lucky they allowed armbands!!!! For that reason I'll be taking points off. Also the pool shaded over every day round 3.30pm which made it quite cold when you were wet. My husband loved the Karoke at night time. Couldn't believe my luck with the Gin bar with all the good brands so well done on that. Laura the bar girl was very friendly and very good with my two boys when they tried to splash with her water at the pool bar she always made me a nice cocktail!!! We,d a great holiday first time to Benidorm would return next year but to Magic rock not so sure so missed having a balcony sit out on at night. From a fussy customer Bernie Tallaght,D24.
