Hotel Servigroup Torredorada

We returned yesterday. Hotel clean & tidy, staff excellent. BUT the food was luke warm. When we mentioned this, they were very helpful and told us that there was a microwave to reheat our food in the restaurant !!! WOW... We were not exactly thrilled by this, although it was meant kindly. So we suggest B&B only for the sea views, and location and eat out for other meals, there are great places to eat 9-12 Euros for 3 courses, with excellent food choices.

Having stayed at this Hotel twice previously,we were already aware of it's standards. They have now added air conditioning in the bedrooms, what a bonus. We were half-board this time round,having been full board before,and still found the choice available more tha adequate. Poolside was very relaxing with service from the bar,no need to leave the sun lounger. Excellent for just chilling out. If you want to stay up late then Benidorm is the place. Just a euro on the bus or 5 in a taxi. Or if you like a walk,just 45 minutes along the beach. Just a stone's throw away from this hotel is everything required for a fun,relaxing Holiday. We would definitely be going back later this year.

We booked this hotel as a three day break over a bank holiday weekend, the only complaint is when we went to our room it had two twin beds although we booked a double room, apparantley you do need to stipulate you also require a double bed, although to be fair the staff did actually change our room although we had to wait 2 hours for the room to be ready! We found this hotel very clean and for 3 star the food was of a high standard and plentiful. It is up a slight hill but only a good 5 min walk from the beach. 2 mins from hotel is a bus stop and for 1 euro this takes you to old and new benidorm where more of the action and markets are. Would use this hotel again!

Torre Dorada is placed on a 'Hill'!  This is not one hill but four steep hills from beach to front door.  The last one being the worse to the front door of the hotel.
Air Conditioning was a must, food was well presented although if you are Vegetarian I hope you like (Chips and Salad).  All vegetarian food had 'chopped ham' or 'tuna' on it so beside a cheese quiche no much option for vegetarian.
Whilst we were there building work was taking place outside the hotel (JUNE 2006) and this was noisey! Building work was also taking place INSIDE the hotel.... say no more!!  Shame because the staff in the restaurant and bar were friendly and hotel could have been so good!!

Torre Dorada is one of the best hotels I have visited in Spain.
It is well managed, with facilities more akin to a four star hotel. My room - booked as a single - was warm, well furnished, comfortable and with a magnificent view and bigger than many doubles I have stayed in. The location - in Finestrat - is great if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of central Benidorm but the delightful small resort of La Cala is on the doorstep.
The food was superb with multi-choices at all meals, themed dinners to add interest and special touches like the diabetic/healthy eating bar at breakfast. The staff were courteous and the entertainment and facilities including extensive terraces, bar and pool area were of a high standard and little touches like the computer terminal and in-house videos were very welcome. The only negative was the low hill leading to the resort centre which might daunt some elderly or moblity-impaired visitors. Nevertheless, Torre Dorada is a very good choice for all travellers of all ages and families.

Great hotel. Lovely views and nice food. Lovely and clean. Reasonable sized rooms but very spacious balcony. Nice part of town near enough to get bus or walk in, far enough away for little noise. On a big hill so would not suit those who don't like walking. Superb value for money.

We enjoyed the Torre Dorada very much. We were two couples on a short 4-day break with only one of us having been to Benidorm previously.  The hotel was clean and the staff were helpful.  The food was good, although there could have been a little more variety on the hot breakfast choice.  There was a good variety on the evening meals and plenty of choice.  We didn't see much for kids but there again we weren't looking as ours were not with us.  There were lots of locals in during our weekend as there was a religous festival on, but that was not a problem. We'd certainly go back there but probably as couples again.

Very friendly and clean.  The rooms overlooking the beach have an excellent view of the whole of Benidorm.  The hotel is situated up a hill and a walk of about 150yds from the bus stop (up hill).  The surrounding area around the hotel is quiet and it was nice to return from the hustle and bustle of Benidorm and relax.  The hotel entertainment is aimed at the older client, but younger guests would be able to access the main entertainment areas of the old town or the British end easily by bus or taxi.  Bus ride takes about 15 mins (very frequent till about 11.30pm), to the old town and a taxi costs about 5/6 Euro to the middle of town.  Great place and we will be going back.
