Deloix Aqua Center

Just returned Aug 08 from this hotel. Stayed for 2 weeks. I really can not fault the Deloix Aqua. Its clean, food is excellent (loads of choice) and the facilities are fantastic. I personally rate this hotel as the best in the area. As for previous comments about children, if you think 20-30 children is too many for a large hotel, then you need to find an adult only accomodation. You will not be disappointed if you stay at the Deloix Aqua.

We have just returned from ten days at the deloix, as a family with a 10 and 12 year old we found the hotels pools were great there were four plus a childrens area, there were also hot tubs although they weren't always working. the hotel its self was situated in a perfect place away from the centre but yet close enough for you to walk to the beach , bars and shops, it has a very inviting lobby , tennis courts and the rooms were what you would expect and thankfully the air conditioning was excellent, the maids called daily and were very nice and polite and extreamly accomadating the hotels food was ok nothing special sometimes it seemed the food was what was left over from the day before and we also found that the men waiters were really nice and couldn't do enough for you but the women had quite bad attitudes and seemed to loath being there, also on one night the hotel had a wedding reception there which i thought was wrong as it was quite noisy and ment when we went to the pool side the next morning the ground was filthy from the party, one last thing , for two days the hotel locked the out side doors so that there was no loungers being reservered which worked but then they left them open and although a sign states nobody to enter untill 10am people were down there at 8.15 with their towels reseving beds one person was down there daily reseving up to 8 beds ?????? compaints were made but staff didn't seem interested enjoyed the holiday but wouldn't return

Firstly I am not a Benidorm fan, but going out of season (Feb) I thought I would give it a go with the family for the first time. We arrived in the very early hours (1.30am) and immediately impressed with the standard of hotel and service. They had even laid on a meal for us. In daylight I must say the hotel exceeded my expectations. The rooms were large and the overall quality of the hotel was extremely good especially the hotel pools which were fabulous.. As a family we found the hotel (buffet style) food to be of a good quality and variety. The hotel was spotless and our bedroom cleaned daily. I found the location perfect aswell - 10 minutes walk from the beach with the normal Benidorm not being in your face. In summing up, this is not your normal high rise benidorm hotel (only 2 storey). Its the best hotel I saw with the feel of a very good Spa hotel. I would definately recommend and indeed looking at going back in April. With no reflection at all on the hotel, Benidorm is not a place I would want to visit during the summer months, but if you do this is the hotel you need to stay in !!!

We stayed for a fortnight in July - check in was quick and our room was available right away. I have mixed feelings about this hotel. The room was clean and spacious, yes it has a flat screen tv but the only english channels are sky news and bbc world. The lobby and reception desk are open plan to the bar area which has plastic orange seats and green sofas - not my taste and quite noisy to sit in. The majority of the hotel staff were friendly and tried to be helpful but some didn't speak very good english and spoke too fast for my very basic understanding of spanish. There was quite a good choice of food but the evening meal wasn't always very warm even though we were usually down shortly after it opened. The dining room paired tables for two together and the staff insisted on showing you to a table - in fact one member of staff (they don't wear name tags) actually lifted my husband's dinner and our drinks off our table and moved us to another one because we had inadvertently sat at an empty table which he was in the process of showing another couple to! We found this extremely embarrassing and never went back to the dining room after that. The Spa looked lovely but was totally empty, you could have heard a pin drop. We enjoyed using the indoor pools but the jacuzzis were taped off and unusable the whole time we were there. The kids pool looked like good fun. We've stayed in better 4* hotels and won't be returning to this one. We have been to Benidorm before and really enjoyed the resort as usual so we will be back, just not to this hotel!

We went to Benidorm in order to assist to our convention there, of Jehovah´s witnesses. We enjoyed a lot our asembly and also the time we spent in the hotel!! We are from different backgrounds and countries, for example I am spanish, so I say sorry if I am commiting some errors in this writting. I think the hotel is very modern and the staff kind and friendly. I also enjoyed the swimming pool and felt very confortable in the room. The SPA is really relaxing. I look forward to go again to Benidorm and stay in your hotel.

Just returned from a 8 day stay at hotel. Brilliant facilites (outdoor pool, indoor pool, indoor rapids pool, kids aqua play pool, gym, steam room & jacuzzis), kids indoor wacky warehouse could not be bettered anywhere. Food ok with breakfast choice very good. Evening meals not that great but soups, salad bar & dessert bar very good. Location just right 5 minutes to aqua park, 15 minutes to beach and main shopping & bars area. Evening shows in hotel also quite good. Overall would definately recommend this hotel to any age groups as it is certainly 4 star facilities and rooms, and if the evening meals are not to your liking, for the price you pay for the hotel you can eat out at a reasonable cost.

This hotel is fantastic very modern and the spa is one of a kind, the food is excellent with loads of choice, the rooms are very modern with flat screen t.v's and superb bathrooms. This hotel is the best i've stayed in. It's quite a way back from the beach but it's quiet away from the noise of the town. It takes about 10mins to walk to the beach but well worth it. I would rate this hotel 5* plus, and would recommend it to anyone.

Deloix Habitat (Sep 2005)

Summary

We visited the Deloix Habitat for a week in Sep 2005. The hotel was friendly and very modern. The aqua centre provided lots of facilities such as sauna and jacuzzi and also has a gym. There are several pools at the hotel. The main pool is large compared to size of the hotel with a generous area to relax around the pool.
The bedroom and bathroom were both spacious and high quality.

The location was good – near enough to walk into the main town (approx 20 mins walk to town) but far enough out not to be overlooked by other large hotels.

We were full board and the food was superb.

Overall, both the facilities and food at the hotel were excellent and I would recommend the hotel to all ages.

Additional Details that maybe of interest:

Food - Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided a large range of quality foods. The best hotel food and service I have experienced.
Parking - Free and lots of available. There is a large underground car park
Room Size – Generous sized rooms with large bathroom with good facilities
Good range of toiletries provided in bathroom
Pools – There was a choice of pools and they were not crowded, life saver at main pool.
The children’s pool looked like fun and included slides etc….
Jacuzzi’s – There were two near the indoor pool and one in the Spa
Spa (Aqua centre)– included steam room, jacuzi, sauna, turkish bath and chill out area
Service & Staff – Good service at all times and the staff were friendly and helpful
Check in was easy – there was always enough staff at reception and in dining areas
Luxury touches to hotel – eg, lights turn on when you enter the room, tv in room – flat screen, good quality wardrobes in room
Location – The hotel is a short walk away from the main town and 5 mins up from the Benidorm Palace on other side of road. Good location for those who enjoy a short walk and want to be out of the main town and noise pollution.
Small parts of the hotel were being finished eg, the safes in the bedrooms were not yet wired – but there was a safe at reception as intermediary.
Entertainment – Was available each evening of our stay eg, bingo, ball room dancing etc.. We did not partake so cannot comment on standard – although other guests seems to be enjoying!
Gym – Fair sized gym with new equipment including weights benches, running machines and exer
