Front sea apartment in Benidorm at Playa de Poniente

The apartment has stunning sea views and lovely open balcony. The beach is virtually on the doorstep, and a good supermarket within walking distance.The host always communicated via VRBO, but we had several issues during our 5-week stay, some resolved, some not, others we didn’t bother to complain about.On arrival, the bedroom light, some bathroom lights and one kitchen light were not working. The kitchen light was repaired twice, bedroom and bathroom were not. The kitchen cupboards were in poor condition, with one door already detached and another hanging off its hinge, limiting use of the items inside.There were only three mugs in an apartment advertised for six guests, no tin opener, limited kitchen cupboard space, and only one working remote control for the three air-conditioning units. The host purchased mugs but as we had to collect them from the cleaner’s home 20 minutes away, we bought our own. The host responded quickly to replacing the leaking kettle.The main bed was extremely comfortable with luxury linen, but my 78-year-old brother found the foam mattress in the second bedroom exceptionally hard, uncomfortable and difficult to make. Finding replacement linen during our stay was also difficult as the linen cupboard seemed short of our requirements.Great location (away from the hustle and bustle of Benidorm Town) and spectacular views, but it would benefit from better maintenance, improved kitchen equipment, and more attention to second bedroom guest comfort.

Nice apartment in a good and quiet neighborhood. It has a nice balcony with a great view. Contact with owner was smooth and fast.

The apartment was lovely and clean. Close to shops bars etc and away from the loud part of Benidorm. The view from the balcony was amazing. The owner was lovely and emailed when we arrived to make sure everything was ok. Lovely place would return

Apartment was really great.. the pool was loverly but we couldn’t use it as there was no chairs available around the pool or in the apartment there was also no shade at all, such a shame.To get to the beach was OK if you are fit and healthy, absolutely not if you have difficulty walking, so many stairs, you could walk along the road, but it’s uphill on the way back.Very limited cafes ect… you have to go down to the beach.. You really must be aware of the location before you commit…
