Stayed at the El Faro near Poniente beach in Benidorm in the lasy week of September 2011. At first site, it doesnt look fantastic, but the rooms were clean and well fitted, even if the bathroom was a little tired.
We had a room on the 10th floor and the view was really good. You are 1 road back from the beach (no more than 100yds). Pool was smallish but quite quiet and there is a small bar in reception, but to be honest there are so many other places to eat and drink we didnt use it much.
Staff were very helpful and were happy to let us keep our room on the day of depature until our flight time.
Being at the Poniente end of town suited us as it was quiter at night and really a pleasant walk along the front to get in to old town. The bus service in to the town is also very easy to use and very cheap.
A walk up the very large hill at the end of the beach to the little chapel is well worth the effort for the great view.
All in all a good few days away and would consider this hotel for a cheap break again.
Room Tip: get a room on as high a floor as possible
