Apartamentos Ribera

The apartments were easy to locate (not sure why previous reviews had difficulty) and I was greeted by an English speaking receptionist called Alberto. Although arriving 3 hours before official check-in, Alberto delivered the news that my room was ready which was a massive bonus due to the heat outside. I had a room on the 7th floor serviced by either stairs or a lift. Having recently had a replacement hip operation, my choice was simple. On entering the room via key card I was met with a basic layout of bathroom equipped with shampoo/shower gel/soap/toilet roll and then the open plan living area of 2 single beds pushed together, table with 2 chairs, wall mounted TV, air conditioning unit, wardrobe and a small but adequate kitchen. The kitchen area included a 2 ring hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, pots and pans with plates/bowls/cutlery. On holiday I rarely cook but everything was there if I wanted to. The bed was comfortable and a sliding window door took you onto a small balcony with table and 2 chairs. On leaving the property you are a 2 minute walk from the British pub Vincent's and a 4 minute walk from Poniente beach and the start of the Old Town shops and bars. Check out time is 10am. My flight home wasn't until 9.30pm. A day before departure I spoke to Alberto regarding keeping my room on. He said if it wasn't booked for that day I could. Long story short I ended up paying €20 to have the room until 7pm when I left for the airport. Alberto was absolutely fantastic

After trouble finding the property, the receptionist greeted us with open arms and check-in was seamless. The room was immaculately clean and fresh towels and bedding were provided twice in our week’s stay. The hotel is a simple 5-minute walk to the beach and there are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars nearby, all reasonably priced. We would definitely stay there again next year. Thank you so much for a wonderful visit on our first trip to Benidorm :)

The apartment was very clean and the location was ideal. The process to enter after lobby hours was well explained and easy to follow. Many amenities close by and walkable access to the waterfront as well as nearby parks.
