Presidente

We stayed at The Presidente in Feb but came back June and August as we were so impressed. The reception is welcoming,informative and quick. The rooms are well looked after and comfortable. There is an overhead fan if like us you prefer it to aircon though it is available. The room is quiet as there was no sound from music or tvs in next rooms. The restaurant is the best we have ate in,all staff are professional and helpful no matter how busy it is. My wife is coeliac and she loved the food and variety. All food is labelled for her to eat safely. The pool is superb as it slopes gradually so its safe to walk in if you are not good in the water. Pool bar is cool and pint of Heiniken is 2.2 euros lovely. Overall a brilliant find for us especially as the Phillipines show bar is part of the hotel. You can use your room key when paying for 10% off which i used to tip staff. Definately staying here again.

Back to benidorm and this time at the hotel presidente,we always look at the reviews before we book and this looked a good hotel having a refit completed around 2020 the reception staff were professional and informed us all the information we needed. we hired a safe for the week at the cost of €20 the room was modern and very clean thanks to the staff that made this happen in the room there is a ceiling fan with a aircon unit and tea and coffee facilities there are 3 lifts unfortunately they are not the quickest and at busy times you will wait!! The pool area is very large and there shouldn't be an issue to get a sun lounger people still put there towels on the loungers early in the morning then disappear for half the day. Breakfast and evening meal was ok if I was going to have a moan it would have been nice to have fresh tomatoes and mushrooms for breakfast instead of tinned and more of a selection at evening meal unfortunately I witnessed on a few occasions the time it took to replenish the food im not sure if there was a staffing issue at the evening meal you have to queue at the bar for a drink no table service if you have any early departure you can ask for a breakfast bag it would have been nice if they prepared a sandwich instead of a few rolls with butter and a plastic knife the last thing you want to do at alicante airport is cut a few rolls with a plastic knife and add butter maybe the hotel can look at this we had a great stay just a few things could be improved i mention this as constructive criticism

Our third stay at the hotel and we love it. Great location, spotlessly clean, great choice of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff absolutely make your stay, always a pleasure to speak to. There is a myth I will dispel about sunbeds. I purposely went down to the pool at 0830 every morning just as the doors opened and walked out with those who had queued. I got three sunbeds on the lower level in the same spot every morning. I absolutely did not need to queue. See you in November. 😉
