Food cold,staff rude at times,spanish guests even worse.no seats in bar/lounge area due to spanish and only spanish music.SOUNDED LIKE A CATTLE MARKET AT ALL TIMES.Took 92yrs old mother who could hardly climb steps,no disabled access,and spanish just pushed her aside!She fell off bottom step once,noone bothered.Room was a disgrace,light switch and socket hanging off also aircon unit,paper stripped off ceiling and NO hot water until after midday.Microwave used in restaurant at all meals as the food was always cold by all British guests.Spanish guests in adjacent rooms very noisy especially after MIDNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!Do not touch with a barge pole!

TERRIBLE HOTEL. food awful and cold Spanish clientele pensioners .Hostile enviroment. NOT all inclusive as sold to us. Not fit for British ------AVOID

After spending six wonderful days in spain and at the Atenea hotel. I finded the staff to be very friendly and the reception staff was very helpful the food was brillant with plenty of chioce room all ways clean

Just back from the Atena hotel in Benidorm 12th to 19th of July 2007 Check in was ok apart form the steps heading to reception.
The staff member checking me in could hardly speak english i had to use sigh language. After my details was sorted out we got into a lift it must be the smallest lift in the world its even got a bounce to it that u think that the cord might snap and we had to go to the top floor 5. Finally at the room put the swipe card in opened the door the room was small but clean there was a funny smell it was coming from the bathroom i thought it must be just spanish water. The veranda we had was brilliant it was at the top floor with no roof it was about the same size as our room the view we had was a hotel being buitl facing us. Down we went the next mornig to try breakfast after all we where half board. They served all spanish food i couldnt reconise anything. So we ate out. I decided to go back for dinner there where servering all spanish food a again. Me and my girlfriend tasted some of it and it tasted like worst slop [-] ever. So we ate out all the time. The pool is across the road beside buiding work with huge cranes with dust everywhere. On my second last night there was an army of ants in the room i mean an army i didnt tell my girlfriend she would have screamed the place down. What ever u go dont stay here.
