Aparthotel La Era Park

Upon arrival we were given a free upgrade to a top floor apartment with stunning views across the sea. The rooms (one living room/kitchen, one bedroom and a shower room) were spacious, bright, clean and stylish with two flat screen televisions. The kitchen included a fridge, microwave, kettle, filter coffee machine, crockery and cutlery. The shower room had a large wall mirror and large walk in shower with easily enough room for two people. Our room had a large balcony. Our friends (who were given the room next door, again as a free upgrade) didn’t have a balcony but did have two bedrooms and two shower rooms - they were glad not to have a balcony as one of them has vertigo. I’m conscious my experience will have been heavily influenced by the free upgrade, but I can only say the apartment was amazing value for what we paid. The staff were all really friendly too. As others have noted, there did seem to be a fair few stag and hen do parties, but other than passing them briefly in the foyer it wasn’t a problem for us - no noise at night. In general, the guests could be described as (seemingly mostly northern) traditional British working class - when we arrived, all the ladies were sat on one side of the pool tanning (burning!) in virtual silence while the men chatted and laughed loudly on the other side, drinking beer and smoking. The smoking and distinct gender split made me think I’d landed in the 1970s! They were all harmless enough though, and we had at least one lovely impromptu chat in the lift. Overall, a reminder that there are parts of the UK that are very different from London. Location wise, the apartments are brilliant - only a short walk from the old town and the sea. On the way to the old town there is a fantastic bakery that does great coffee - perfect for breakfast! Only two mins walk away from the apartments there is also a large supermarket which is well worth a visit - we bought a range of bread, fruit, veggies and chocolate, all of which were delicious - makes you realise just how poor quality and tasteless supermarket produce can be in the UK! The apartments are on a slight hill which may be a challenge for older/disabled people, but for me as a relatively fit 40-something it was fine. So in summary - for what we paid and the rooms we got - yes, I would definitely recommend. If you want a luxury hotel with all the trimmings and comfortable communal areas this won’t be for you. But if you want great value self-catering close to the old town, it’s ideal.

“Great hotel for a group of friends”

We were a group of 7 girls for 3 nights for a big birthday, On arrival to the hotel we found it to be very clean and tidy.

We were a group of 7 girls for 3 nights for a big birthday, On arrival to the hotel we found it to be very clean and tidy. We had 2 rooms that had 2 single beds and a sofa bed sleeping 2 in the lounge. Both apartments had a large balcony with swimming pool view. Very clean and tidy came with all bedding, pillows, towels etc that were needed. We did ask for an iron from reception which they let us keep for the duration of the stay for free and we had beach/pool towels which were €2 euro each for the stay and €5 deposit when you gave them back at the end. Only thing missing from the rooms is more mirrors, 1 mirror in the bathroom when there are 4 girls getting ready is a nightmare! Pool area had lots of sunshine from morning til late afternoon. Sun beds could have been better but they were fine, and also had table and chairs around to sit on for food drinks etc Food was cheap and cheerful, cooked breakfasts, burgers, hot dogs, toasties, fries etc drinks were nice with large measures and not too expensive (€3 a pint, €7 a cocktail) Hotel is not too far away from everything, 15 min walk to the strip and 10 mins to old town. There is a lovely roof top bar opposite if you fancy a more sophisticated evening. Overall I cannot fault the hotel it was everything we needed and would recommend for anyone going on a group holiday (I wouldn’t take the family just because it’s more stag hens parties etc) especially for the price.

“Cheap and cheerful”

Apartments were basic but clean and cheerful. Staff were friendly and helpful. Walking distance to bars and restaurants, and the beach.

“Group visit 12th-16th April 2024”

Approximately 20 of us stayed at La Era Park apartments on this trip. The rooms are basic but clean so do serve their purpose.

Approximately 20 of us stayed at La Era Park apartments on this trip. The rooms are basic but clean so do serve their purpose. The apartments are located near to the old town of Benidorm, so it’s about 10-15 minute walk to get to where the main bars and clubs are on the strip. If you are after somewhere quiet and relaxed I would avoid, as it is mostly large groups that seem to be staying here at the same time as us. In summary, basic, clean, noisy, large groups, distant to the strip.
