Opinion of a costumer of Magic Villa del MAR. kirktonlass, Dundee, Reino Unido 4 oct 2007

The Villa del Mar is part of the Magic group so you can use the facilities of any of the chain in Benidorm - which is great if you go all-inclusive as you can pop into the other hotels for a meal, snack or drink if you are passing.
We had a room overlooking the sea - this could have been noisy from the road but we were on the 5th floor so it didn’t affect us. The only downside is that they are redoing the road outside the hotel at the moment so you get dropped off and picked up a short walk away. The hotel itself is closing some time this month (October 2007) for refurbishment and will reopen around April 2008. Knowing that, you can make allowances for some bits being a bit tired looking - but our room was still done to a very high standard.
The reception staff are friendly, as are the cleaners but a couple of the bar staff (I think they were Moroccan) were a bit unhelpful - however, Peter and the older Spanish barman were great.
The place is full of a mix of nationalities - Spanish, Belgian and Britiish making up the most part. Unfortunately, although entertainment is laid on at night it is not usually that well attended - which didn’t bother us as we always went to the Magic Fenicia at night to meet up with friends. The food is good and varied- though perhaps not as well presented as at the Magic Crystal Park, and the restaurant itself is quite small - though we always managed to get a table, no matter what time we went in.
We are going back to Benidorm in February but have had to book elsewhere as the Villa del Mar will be closed - but we will be passing by to see how the renovations are going as we will be booking again for September 2008!!
If you want a nice quiet base then the Villa del Mar is the place to go - but if you want riotous nightlife then look elsewhere. Its location right on the beach is ideal for those wanting a beach holiday - though beware, the one and only (and last time!!) time that I went in swimming I got stung by a jelly fish - so carry a sachet of vinegar with you!!
