Port Vista Oro

I would have given this a 5 if it were not for the pool being freezing cold. Met some fantastic people there, very friendly and relaxed. The rooms were cleaned every day ,reception only too willing to help. A very special thanks to the 3 barman, Amin, Miguel and Paco, just such friendly guys who had a laugh when they could and always remembered your name the next day. Kitchen staff too always willing to help with anything, food was good but not brilliant, I think I'll teach them how to cook broccoli and sprouts lol. We will be back next year for sure, we had a blast, adios

On arrival met by Christian on reception... absolute pleasure after a 3 hour flight delay. Couldn`t be more welcoming, had laid some food out in the restaurant for us even though 1130pm. Lovely touch. All the staff are friendly , courteous and helpful . Rooms had everything we needed & all areas were kept clean, ample food choice , loungers plentiful. Location spot on... on top of the Old Town but just far enough out to be peaceful and doesn't attract large groups. Very much looking forward to our next stay !! Many Thanks. Emma & Tina

Stayed as a couple. Had not been to Benidorm before. Read previous reviews and chose hotel precisely because of negative comments made by others! It is in great location - on edge of 'old town' streets/shops, 5 min walk to beach. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean, beds comfortable. We did have balcony which looked out onto orange wall , but that meant we could chill out and were not over looked by others ( rooms at front of hotel have balconies which can be seen from road / pool). We stayed half board and the food was fantastic. There was a really good variety for both breakfast and evening meals. Both were 'buffet style'. Catering suited those with 'meat and two veg' tastes as well as those who prefer trying local cuisine. Very appetising and tasted great as did local red wine in restaurant ! Safe is available to hire in room - very reasonable and 10 Euro refundable deposit on return of key. Previous reviews moaned about music from the adjacent school - it was term time whilst we were there and we heard very little noise at all from the school. The sun beds are in full sun for majority of day , whilst pool is shaded by afternoon , which is actually great as it means can swim / cool off more easily. As you can probably tell , we are not ''18 - 30's'' night clubbing revellers - we found the entertainment here was good, different acts each night, all entertaining. Made a pleasant change from the loud pop music blaring from bars etc at other end of resort! The only 'disturbance' we had was from a very drunk British woman banging on a room door and screaming at someone late one night. Fortunately someone managed to persuade her to stop yelling fairly quickly. We would very definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone who wants a holiday ..aka ... relaxing break, near local amenities, good food, clean hotel, friendly staff, good facilities, good value for money.
