I can only assume that the previous review was written by someone from the Hotel it goes on to recommend, as I cannot recognise the description they give from my experience at Hotel Buenavista!
My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and wished we could have stayed longer, as it is a lovely little hotel in a quiet spot. We found the staff there extremely polite, helpful, accommodating and efficient. Everything we asked for, we got and more besides.
The gardens are lovely and we enjoyed a bottle of wine one evening sitting outside in a very peaceful spot. The gardens are beautiful, really pretty and well maintained - I even saw the gardeners arrive on the morning we left and they were very busy pruning bushes and trees etc! The swimming pool is large, clean and cool, with plenty of loungers/ chairs. There is also a racket ball court of some description and a small gym.
The room we had on the second floor was very clean, light and spacious. Yes, perhaps some of the fixtures are a bit dated, but to most reasonable people, this doesnt cause any problems. The air conditioning worked perfectly and our room was cool throughout. We also had fantastic nights' sleep, even though the hotel was almost full whilst we were there. The beds were very large and comfortable.
It was also great to be able to park the car (in the shade), having just come from Granada where it cost quite a lot to park the car.
We did a few small walks in nearby Javea/Xabia (also a lovely spot) and Calpe; Denia itself was really bustly and a very pleasant town. Ate a great meal at the Raset restaurant (see trip advisor for lots of reviews!).
So overall, I would say that this is an oasis of calm and a lovely place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone who can understand that not everything in life is perfect, but it can still be enjoyable nonetheless!
