Spain Gay friendly Vacations

Exquisite hotel. Hotel staff went above and beyond even providing beach towels and umbrella for our stay. Pool was relaxing and standard size for lap swimming in the mornings. AC was wonderful, bed sheets and pillows soft, small fridge, and finally a hotel that appreciates nice towels. The port has a walkable strip to cute restaurants, next to the fabulous beach, we loved it. A must stay.

Authentic Review: Stay between the 14th and 21st of June We stayed at this hotel during mid-June. Although the hotel classifies itself as four-star, I would personally rate it more as a three-star property. The staff were friendly. However, we requested a late checkout and were advised that we would need to pay €50 to stay longer. Breakfast was of good quality, with a decent selection. The hotel is extremely well located, especially for those wanting to enjoy the Benidorm experience—it’s within walking distance to the beach. I can only imagine that during peak season, the hotel would be very busy and it might be difficult to find available sunbeds. That said, it was refreshing during our stay to see no one reserving sunbeds with towels early in the morning. There was a good mix of age groups staying here. Fortunately, there was no loud music around the pool, allowing people to sunbathe and relax in peace. If you’re looking for a more upscale experience in the same general area, I would highly recommend checking out Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa, which is a genuine five-star hotel. It’s about a 7–10 minute taxi ride away (€10). As for our current hotel, Golden by Marina markets itself as a freestyle experience but it’s not a full four-star as advertised. The room had a basic electric stove, fridge-freezer, and cooking utensils, making it more suitable for self-catering.

The water at the beach is musky but the rooftop pool was great.

Very nice and comfortable place to stay luv it

Xavier was an excellent charming and helpful front desk clerk! Blonde manager was charming! Most of the front desk staff were lovely and helpful as we do not speak Spanish! Thank you for a most wonderful and memorable experience! Barcelona was very enjoyable!

Mil gracias por todo.
