Honest review of hotel joya
We are a group of 22/23 year olds and stayed here for a week. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel joya! It is clean and ideal for a group of people if you’re having a more active holiday.
Location- 10-15 minute walk from the strip and near the levante beach. The location is ideal we never had any issues walking places and it is not too far from the old town either. It is nice and quiet but there is also plenty to do.
Rooms- our rooms were clean! The only fault we had was the balcony doors do not lock and the shower curtain is just an inconvenience. Other than that the rooms were spotless, we never used our tv but that’s just because we liked to explore Benidorm rather than being sat inside.
Beds were very comfy, we had a good night sleep almost every night.
Staff- Friendly enough, we did not have much interaction with them.
Pool- Sunbeds aren’t great quality and they were uncomfy to lie on. There isn’t loads of sunbeds but as long as you are awake for 9 we never struggled to get them. You would struggle if you woke up later.
The pool is quite deep but there is another pool which is ideal for little ones. ( I am 5 foot 8 for reference and struggled to touch the floor in most of the pool)
Food- not great- we decided to eat our breakfast out every day due to it being below average. No sausages, cakey tasting scrambled egg. Coffee was great tho.
The poolside food is better however we decided to eat out most days.
Facilities- there is a cute little hut at the pool to get drinks, snacks, ice cream and hot food from. They also have vending machines but they only take coins- still useful to have we knew to get change and used it a couple of times.
One complaint is that the cleaner came in when we were asleep one day, and we did not have a sign to put on our door so that she knew to miss us. It was just a bit alarming at 8am on a morning and we were abit startled. This happened again the morning after and once told no thank you to cleaning, she continued to ask if we wanted her to clean. We said no after being woken up again.
Overall we enjoyed our stay it was just your basic hotel and was ideal for relaxing through the day and navigating our way back to on a night.
Not bad. Needs a fresh look.
Reasonable location. About a ten minutes walk to old town.
My partner and I stayed for 10 days.
Hotel is a little tired but is spotless and maids clean daily. Majority of staff are incredibly polite and courteous, though the outside bar could do with more stock space. They spent most of the time going back to the main bar to get stuff as they did t have it in the hit. These guys run about like mad.
Pool is nice but the area around the pool needs to be updated. Majority of the beds and brollies are broken. Plus there is two daily struggle for beds that even with a rule to not save beds it's not enforced and unless you get there at 9am when they open you won't get a bed.
We did bed and breakfast, breakfast was basic but reasonable quality. Didn't try the cooked breakfast but I looked ok.
Lovely, friendly hotel
Lovely hotel in a quite area but easy to reach the beach, strip or old town within 10min walk. The staff are polite, generally speak Spanish but you can get by asking what you need too. The guy in the pool bar was fabulous, funny and friendly. Pool was lovely but quite deep. And the pool area open at 9am. Enough sunloungers are seating areas for everyone. Breakfast was basic but tasty. Not consistent though with the same foods. Walls are thin and you can hear peoples conversations Not too much of an issue and only woken up once when they came in. Great hotel and I would stay again.

Smelly
Rooms clean, breakfast ok and staff good. Pool are ok but beds, cushions and parasols need replacing. The worst thing which personally I find intolerable is the smell of stale smoke everywhere, even outdoors. Smoking is permitted on the balconies and as a result the corridors smell of ashtrays. The outside bar area allows smoking too so smoke wafts over the pool 🤮. Also, people (British) reserve their beds first thing. It’s midday as I write this and more than half the beds have towels on them without a sign of any occupants. It’s annoying!
Perfect for a simple, family-friendly stay
The pool area and bar were great, and one thing we really appreciated was that the pool gates didn’t open until 9am, giving everyone a fair chance to get a sunbed, especially as there aren’t many available.
The rooms were clean and comfortable. The only downside was the lack of a fridge, but the air conditioning worked well and kept the room cool.
We travelled with our toddler and were initially a little concerned that a Benidorm hotel might be full of large groups of lads. However, because the hotel caters mainly for Spanish guests, there was a good mix of families and couples and 2 young groups of lads who were quite entertaining.
The location was excellent, around a 10–15 minute walk to both the Old Town and New Town, so we really couldn’t fault it. We were self-catering, although we ordered lunch by the pool a couple of times and found the food to be below average.
The hotel advertised a kids’ club disco from 4pm–7pm on Thursday and Friday, but in reality it was just one table with some crafts, so that was a little disappointing.
Overall, we were genuinely sad to leave and would definitely stay here again.
