I am a bit late with this review. This was the first time my wife had booked a holiday using the internet. It was all done rather quickly and quietly as a surprise. The receptionist was very courteous but not particularly helpful and we were unable to get a seaview room even though I had received an email informing me that we had been allocated one.
The location is the saving grace of this hotel. We were staying half board and because we both know Benidorm we knew all the right places to eat.
All the comments regarding the noise in the side streets are absolutely true. The bar had very strange opening times that seemed to suit the staff rather than the guests. Our main complaint was the speed at which the plates were whipped off the table, the second you had finished, or appeared to have finished!
We love old Benidorm and have been back there but not to The Mar Blau. It is worth paying a bit extra to stay about 50 yards to the right, at the Villa del Mar.
