Have just spent 2 weeks at the Alpha apts. They are in a great location, away from the hussle and bussle but within easy walking distance of all the bars and nightlife. The apts themselves are spacious having a very large balcony. The kitchen has all the mod cons - kettle, toaster, oven, hob and microwave. The lounge and bedroom both have patio doors onto the balcony which will be great in the heat of the summer. The air con is 50 cents per 1/2 hour should you need it. The pool is ok, not very large and one depth all over, under 2 metres.
The only fault is the maid service, or the lack of it. After 8 days (Sunday) we had to ask for the sheets to be cleaned and towels changed. They stated that they should have been changed on the Friday, but this was not the case. However, they did change them once I had brought it to their notice. You do not get maid service to clean the room, make the beds or empty the waste bin. However, on a good point at least you will not be disturbed should you be having a lie in after a late night (which is usually the case in Benidorm). If you ask the reception for waste bags or a lighter for the gas hob they are very helpful.
Our room was on the 11th floor, we had requested a high floor, so it was no problem. There are two lifts although they are quite small, only 3 people at a time. As the apts were not full this was not an issue, although I can imagine in the height of summer it could be.
Whilst we were there the majority of residents were all in the same age group, 40-70 years of age, so no disturbance to speak of. Of course in Benidorm the night does not start until about 9pm-10pm. Some great musice to suit all tastes. Prices for local larger do vary from eur 1.50 to eur 3.50 depending on the venue. So shop around but enjoy yourselves, you are on holiday after all.
All in all a great place to stay for value and location.
