My wife and I stayed there for a month from mid June to mid July.We met Alan and Andy on arrival who were extremely helpful and nice guys.The Apartment has everything that you need to fullfil your holiday.The slight incline to the gate of the Apartment is more of a leg tester than a problem.I am 67 and had no difficulty whatsoever.Also serviced by steps
that are easy to manage up/down by one of the Hotels.
The electricity is managed by a meter and very reasonable,payable upfront and any unused amount returned.
The Apartment is on the 21st. floor and no one could possibly fault the "Panoramic Views".
The lifts (2) to the floor get you right outside the front door,and although somewhat slow,they are very reliable.
We have booked another month next year,in one of their other Apartments - just for a change and no other reason.

We stayed in this apartment for a week at the end of August. It is situated at the far eastern end of Levante Beach about 200 metres up a steepish hill. It is literally 2 minutes walk from the beach and there is a very nice little supermarket just 50 metres away where you can purchase all of your essentials, including bread baked freshly on site.

We were met outside the apartment block by Alan who was very friendly and helpful. He was very apologetic about some recent water damage to the ceiling which we probably wouldn't have noticed had he not pointed it out. The apartment is on the 21st floor but there are 2 lifts which are modern and well maintained. There are 3 apartments on each floor. There is a breathtaking view from the apartment. We had one rainy day and afterwards you could see further than Alicante along the coastline.

The apartment is equipped with a fridge/freezer, electric cooker and hob, washing machine and microwave plus everything you need in the way of cutlery, crockery, cookware, clothes drier, corkscrews and bottle openers (of course). There is also an iron, ironing board and vacuum cleaner. Everything is very clean and the apartment is light and airy. The kitchen, dining area and living area are open plan in an L shape with large patio style windows looking out onto the beaches. There is no balcony but, with the windows open the whole apartment feels like a terrace.

In the living area behind the 3 seater sofa is a twin bedroom with 2 single beds, which can be accessed either by a set of patio doors behind the sofa or via a door from the kitchen area. The bedroom has a wardrobe and bedside cabinet and is of a good/adequate size.

The double bedroom is at the rear of the apartment. It has 2 small vent style windows - 1 to the communal landing and the other through to the twin bedroom. There is a double bed (bit short for my 6'6" frame), a bedside cabinet and a fitted wardrobe. Inside the wardrobe is an electronic safe which is free to use. This room has a ceiling fan for ventilation which was adequate with the 2 windows open to provide a breeze through the room. This room is quite small and personally I would have liked the double bed to be in the other bedroom so that us grown ups could have the better view and ventilation.

The living area has a 3 seater sofa and an Ikea style sprung wood armchair and is equipped with satellite TV with the basic English Freeview channels. There is a small selection of paperback books (which we have supplemented with a few of our own to leave more room in our suitcases for cheap cigarettes and alcohol!).

The shower room has a large shower cubicle, sink and WC. All are in good condition and the shower itself is powerful and adjustable. All towels and bedding are supplied.

There is a circular glass dining table and 4 wicker chairs and place settings for 4 people.

There is no airconditioning in the apartment but this caused us no problems with the windows open wide.

There is a swimming pool and tennis court outside. The swimming pool is your basic rectangle and not particularly appealing to young children. There is no pool furniture. This didn't bother us because with the superb Levante Beach 2 minutes away who needs a pool? Sun loungers and parasols are 4 euros per day on the beach.

Eating wise there is a Burgerking and a MacDonalds very nearby which we avoided like the plague. Just up from and opposite the Burgerking is a Chinese restaurant which is very good and exceptionally good value. We also liked the El Bahia and Tamoril restaurants on the seafront. For something a bit special try the El Mirador, otherwise known as the Casa Antonio, which is at the eastern end of Poniente Beach - super food and very attentive service. Best Mojito we found during the week was at the Baby Buddha bar which is the second bar you come to after leaving the apartment.

5 minutes walk away is the Avenida Mediterraneano (or similar) where you can catch buses into town or to the local attractions. The number 01 bus goes to Aqualandia/Mundomar and Terra Mitica/Terra Natur. The number 41 goes to Terra Mitica and the number 11 goes to Aqualandia. The bus costs E1.30 per person regardless of where you are going.

Don't believe what you hear about Benidorm. It's not at all like the TV programme, apart from the very annoying but otherwise healthy people who insist on renting mobility scooters because they are too lazy to walk anywhere. The temptation to nudge them off the promenade and onto the beach was hard to resist.

The view from the apartment is fabulous, overlooking the entire beach and most of Benidorm. The beautiful apartment has everything you need in the way of mod cons but is very homely and comfortable.... more
