Hotel Voramar

“Lovely Hotel”

What a find, this hotel is on a side street in Benidorm Old Town near the beach.

What a find, this hotel is on a side street in Benidorm Old Town near the beach. We arrived at the hotel at 12:30am and got a very warm welcome, check in was very quick and were on our room on 5 minutes. We had a standard room with a balcony this did overlook a courtyard and wall but that didn't bother us, the rooms are basic but comfortable and very clean. Breakfast is a buffet in the restaurant with a wide choice of fruit, English breakfast, cereals, cakes, fruit juice, tea, coffee, hams and cheese, omlettes and of course toast. We were on a B&B basis but had a few evening meals in the restaurant as we needed some veg (you don't get much when you eat out) dinner was a good standard with plenty of choice and they have a special offer for residents. The roof top has a lovely sunbathing area and plunge pool along with a bar. Benidorm is great, we preferred the old town it's buzzing, full of Spanish and Tapas Alley offers plenty of variety. We also caught the Benitram to Villa Joyosa to visit relatives, the Tram is easy to use and a quick form of transport. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked for next year, a special mention to Mirabella and Maria on reception, lovely ladies and very helpful. Entertainment in the evening is mainly Spanish but seeing as the main occupancy is Spanish that's fair enough, we watched it a few times and found it very good even though we didn't understand a word!!!

Hotel Voramar ( revisited). Going home today, 9th from an 8 day half board stay. This is our second visit . 1st off, transfer is same old, dropping us down the road from the “ yellow submarine “ pub. This doubles as the number 2 bus stop. Plenty of disabled access through out the hotel. We were given a room on the 5th floor but as there are 2 lifts wasn’t a problem. There can be a bit of late noise from Vincent’s bar but didn’t bother us. Rooms are spotless and enough room for couples. Brilliant extra was the extended opening of the pool on the roof.!! This was due to the good weather so don’t rely on it. Breakfast same as everywhere with “ Spanish “ bacon, eggs, blah blah. If you’re half board, it’s a bit hit and miss as the hotel tends to cater to Spanish tastes. Enjoyed the holiday. Search round prices but location makes it well worth a look. ( heard a whisper that TUI take over April 2025??)

“This is never a 4 star hotel!”

First things first. This isn't a 4 star hotel. No idea how the hotel achieved that standard. The amenities in the room are poor ..no tea and coffee in the room...

First things first. This isn't a 4 star hotel. No idea how the hotel achieved that standard. The amenities in the room are poor ..no tea and coffee in the room... Empty fridge.. poor hairdryer.. very very basic room and we had a view above the kitchen area. The bathroom was a wetroom that never really dried out despitr having the fans on. Really disappointing Roof bar is good...pool is tiny though plus there's plenty of beds all around the roof of the hotel plus the drinks are well priced. Suresh are lovely. Big negative for us though was the restaurant. Possibly the worst breakfast I've ever had in a hotel. Poor selection and like the evening meals they are always cold and poor quality. The food is generally inedible and I'm not a fussy eater. So many things in this hotel need work. It's full of old people too. 70 plus is the average here and it's important to know that the hotel is rammed full of the elderly. Which isn't an issue however it's important to know before you book. There were literally four other couples too from the UK that we saw which again isn't a major issues however it's something to be aware of. Great hotel location and very close to everything however there's so much more that could be improved. Maybe it's just not for us being 46 and 44. Thanks for reading
