Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Playas de Guardamar

i have always hired a car to get into town etc. i consider this a must. a good value hotel stay each time and the view to the south over the sea on an evening is splendid. a good clean beach is just a short walk away.

Great beach access. Very clean, lovely views. Some staff dislike English and have attitude! Desserts were very poor this time. Such a shame that the no 1 bus doesn't come down to the hotel anymore!

Although this hotel may suit others it was not for me. Location was rather isolated in a residential area. €8 euros per day parking. You are unlikely to find a space on nearby streets. No bars ar restaurants nearby. Nearest supermarket 40 mins walk. So you have to rely solely on what the hotel has to offer. There are 3 gift shops on site but food or drink must be purchased from the hotel bar or meal plan. Food in restaurants is ok... but nothing special. Bar prices are fairly good. Water can be purchase at the bar €1.80 for a 1.5 lire bottle. The rooms are basic. There is a fridge a fridge but no kettle/tea making facilities. Just a few yards to a long sandy beach. Outdoor swimming pool is clean and inviting. Indoor pool/spa is charged for. If you pay for all inclusive and don't want to leave the hotel then it might be ok. I didn't help that the hotel hosted a chess tournament while we were there. 7 year olds upwards. There are 500+ rooms and the hotel was full mainly of kids... although they were well behaved, the noise was horrendous and is amplfied by the design.

I wrote to the hotel well in advance that I was interested in checking in a little earlier (2 hours), and I informed them that I was only going to rest before my flight and would not use the paid night, since I would be leaving the hotel at 8:00 PM, so they could have sold it again. No one answered me, so we arrived at the hotel at the standard check-in time, I waited in line to check in for up to an hour despite my warnings that I was only coming for 4 hours and that everything was paid for. Terrible staff, terrible hotel…

A huge hotel, great location on beach. Buffet food good, always topping it up. Good variety. Outside area nice. Great staff. Nice relaxing stay

this was a large hotel complex with good access to the beach. Pool was nice and clean but water was cold to stay in for very long.Typical buffet meals...no variety, no veggies, very little fruit. Rooms were OK but the pillows were terrible (Easily right across the bed at 1.2 meters long. They do not vave standard size pillows. Sadly smoking is still allowed on balconies which migrates to other balconies in the vicinity. Smoking appears to be still quite common in Spain.

Good value for money and lovely views

The hotel is a bit tired and needs renovating. Everything else was very good and we enjoyed our stay.

Was a nice experience, 1 night stay. Nice room, balcony, good air conditioning, very large bed, comfortable. Only negative is for the parking charge

The reviews of this hotel do not do this hotel justice., just ignore. Nearly didn’t book due to this reason. Fantastic hotel, great for children. Staff really helpful, this is a Spanish hotel but that suited us perfectly. Fantastic views of the sea and a great beach. Will definitely return

The hotel was easy to find. Checkin was straightforward and the room was a good size with a great outlook from the balcony.

A

This has been a great little hotel for our adventures in the area. Very good dining option with the buffet, walkable to different beaches and good parking outside. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and very good with children. Close enough to local shops if you have a car, and plenty of other areas to explore. Just a short drive up to Alicante, and further up the road is Benidorm, so loads to do.

If all you want is a beach then it's fine. You certainly need a car to get around and car park is very expensive. Next to no evening entertainment. Rooms fine. Food not great. Breakfast very bad and expensive.

On the beach! Friendly staff!! Inside, outside pool, restaurant, bar…

Our stay was good to very good ,just be aware they charge 98€ for parking for 2 weeks! The BIG problem is the bar. During the day time you have to form a cue to purchase drinks, this maybe ok for most but being dissabled i had to sit the bar. I was totaly ignored and got no better service from the reception staff. 1 good point though goes to the EXCELLENT Christian as he had no problem and apologised profusely because the femail staff would not even accommodate me.

No phonic insulation between rooms. Both neighbor were loud till late in the night. Restaurant food for dinner and breakfast was really low quality. We’ll not come back there.

Nice hotel with friendly staff. Would not stay again though as paper thin walls meant we could hear our lively neighbours well past midnight and again first thing. This definitely took the edge off an otherwise enjoyable stay.

Great customer service and very clean. All staff were friendly, and accommodating. Air con in room was very effective and my room had a fridge. Highly recommend!

Room facilities very poor. Although we had a fridge there were no tea/coffee making facilities. Beds very large but pillows very hard and uncomfortable. Breakfast was limited in choice and hot chive very limited.
