Hotel Ambassador Playa

... what more could you ask for? Staff always very polite, especially in restaurant (restaurant manager, lovely man). The food is fantastic, and offers of a variety of main dishes and sweets (my fav: the creme caramel!)

Rooms are nice and clean, maybe a bit basic, but if you're on holiday how long do you expect to be in the room?? Any probs re more pillows, etc were soon rectified by polite cleaning staff. I did feel tho, that it would have been 'good' to have been supplied with a toilet brush (to save any embarrassments!!) A kettle would also have been useful for instant drinks at night and 1st thing in the mornings.

I felt it a bit of an inconvenience to have to pay a 20 euro fully-refundable (I believe) deposit on the remote control for the tv as, if you are on the 9th floor and get to your room expecting to see the tv whilst unpacking, and then find out you have to go back down to the reception for this service you could be a bit put out!

Other than that, no complaints whatsoever. It is close to the shops and some clubs/pubs, John & Josephs across the road (1 euro a pint), not too far a walk from the beach, phone service in the hotel AND straight across the road, free ISP (internet service provider), even an office across the road that can sort out trips, wheel chairs, etc, for you. What more could you ask for a brilliant holiday? Enjoy.

We liked the entertainment and Michael Jackson show. The hotel was excellent, and the food was good to eat. The restaurant manager and staff were very helpful and considerate always cleaning up the tables.

I met a lot of nice people mostly friendly to me and willing to chat with my wife and I.

All brilliant and am going back again next year. Love all the staff and they work so bloody hard we need to appreciate them. Just got back from staying in the Hotel Ambassador today (14/05/08). Had a brilliant time apart from the weather not being to good. I cannot fault the hotel in anyway, our room was cleaned every single day and those maids did work hard, all staff were very friendly and the waiters were all brilliant, made us feel so welcome. Wasn't to keen on the bingo caller though, she was a bit miserable and far to posh to be calling bingo. Food was nice, some things varied everyday but otherwise you would have mostly the same as the night before! The weather, 07/05/08-14/05/08 not very good weather, not much sun at all.

We have just returned from the Ambassador Playa, stayed in block 1 lots of traffic noise, loads of fumes. If you want a good well laid out comfortable room go for the top floor pool view, otherwise suffer the very poor air quality on the bottom floors. Food was 7/10 plenty of the same thing each night, entertainment included bingo, ball room dancing and an organist, made the most of what we had available but would not stay again...

Been going to this hotel for 14 years now, sometimes twice per year, staff are friendly and some remember us year in year out, food isn't fantastic but more 'every day' always plenty to choose from and a big must for me milk at breakfast for cereal is COLD ! Been at other hotels near by and the milk is hot. Kids always have plenty to eat and go up time & time again. I you want Al Carte this isn't the hotel for you

Location brilliant, clean. Food terrible overcooked no attention to detail in this hotel most staff on reception and restaurant very indifferent and surly. Food and staff badly let this hotel down

We stayed in the hotel in september 2006 with our little boy who was 6yrs he loved it. The hotel was clean and food was fairly nice.( I have had worse) The night entertainment we couldn't fault, the hotel is situated in a good place , not far from beach, shops,pubs, and eating places. We stayed in a diffrent hotel in benidorm supposed to be better class and didn't like it. We are going back in May 2008 and staying in the ambassador again as we liked it that much, just hope it is as good if not better.

Benidorm, Hotel Ambassador Playa - We stayed here for a week and had a great time. The holiday was booked last minute in order to treat our teenage sons to a break. Ideally located for the ameneties. We prefer it quieter but saying that it was not as bad as we expected. Hotel suitable for all ages. Restaurant staff very helpful and not pushy.

Had a problem with the air con - sorted in a couple of days.
