Lovely stay at the Torre Dorada for 5 nights with my friend and her little one. Arrived around 12:30pm and checked in straight away. Room was clean and spacious with a mini fridge, TV with English channels (incase you are interested), free safe, good bathroom (ours had a walk-in shower), a full length mirror and another above the dressing table, lots of sockets. The balcony for a family room was also of a good size. I brought my own kettle! I liked the fact that the hotel only has 13 floors - it didn’t feel too big. The hotel has at least 5 lifts too so this was never a problem. Pool is fantastic, a large, rectangular pool perfect for swimming in. There is a small pool for very young children, although most used the main pool with swimming aids/adult supervision. The play area was a huge hit with the children too. Huge plus, loads of sunbeds available all day - I was pleasantly surprised for the last week of August. I commented that there weren’t so many English guests, which was actually nice, more Spanish and Portuguese. The hotel explained that they had had many English guests earlier in the main season. We stayed half board - couldn’t fault the breakfast, and the evening meals were ok too. We had Roast Beef on the Sunday! Spaghetti Bolognaise may be something that would go down well too. (One small point that would improve the dining experience is if the hotel group were to consider replacing the blue tables in the restaurant with something more neutral and stylish, should they invest in updating this area in the future). We ordered pizzas at the pool bar when we arrived - these were really tasty…especially after travelling since the early hours. Location wise… you need to drag your suitcases up an incline to start with, but it was worth it! We walked down to Cala Finestrat (left at the yellow postbox), or go 100 yards or so to the right at the end of the road to the bus-stop. Catch the number 2 or the 3 to Old Town Benidorm for €1.60 (pay cash to the driver and they give you change). Cafe Heat opposite the bus-stop is a good shout. Or you can turn right out of the hotel reception and shortly after the car park you’ll find some steps down to the beautiful Poniente Beach. Enjoy:)
