Pierre & Vacances Apartamentos Benidorm Horizon

I really liked the hotel location, it’s excellent and close to everything. The view and the scenery were exactly as described in the photos, and it’s truly amazing. The apartment had everything a person might need. The balcony is spacious in a wonderful way, giving you a sense of freedom and enjoyment. Most importantly, the staff were great, and I especially want to praise an employee, whose name I unfortunately forgot, but she’s from Algeria. She helped us a lot and gave us many great suggestions on places to visit and how to navigate the transportation system.

We arrived around 14:00 and requested an upgrade to a two bedroom apartment which was hard to book for 2 persons using booking.com. It was arranged by the staff quickly and the apartment was available immediatly. We stayed at the 30th floor and the view was stunning. The apartment was large with comfortable beds. We had breakfast included which was excellent as well. It is served in the hotel which is around the corner. For cooking ourselves, equipment was limited (only one large cooking pan and a small frying pan, no salad bowl), but manageable. Facilities like pools and entertainment were available, but we did not make use of it. The beach and the strip are a bit of a walk down hill, meaning up hill going back, which we enjoyed a few times. Alternatively, the hotel offers a free shuttle to the beach every 20 minutes for a large part of the day and evening. Seats are limited though. We went low season so the hotel and apartments were not overcrowded and it was no problem finding parking near the apartment. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nice layout of the rooms, beautiful view from a nice, big balcony, practical kitchen, comfy beds and roller blinds that are very helpful if you want to sleep in :) Two very nice pools, a smaller one with lots of shade right next to the apartment building and a bigger one with a pool bar and music in the next door hotel.

It's a great apartment with a great view. We chose the option for half-board and when we arrived we were given the option of changing an evening meal for a lunch time meal. We really liked the fact that we could do that. So we ended up with a lunch one day and an evening meal on another day. We were able to arrange our schedule better by doing that. That, for us, was a pleasant surprise and believe me, it can be really useful. However, this was in the low season. I don't know if this option is available in the high season. Our advice is to go to early to the meals. The earlier you go, the less queue you have. We went early and had hardly any queue. But if you go later on, you can have a long queue. We went in low season, but I highly recommend this, especially in high season. That way you can choose where you want to sit too. The food was good too, with a good variety, imho. And I made use of the microwave to heat up some things.

Big apartment and really modern. Spotlessly clean and huge bathroom compared to the hotel room at the main Pierre & Vacancds my friends stayed in. Reception staff were good. Located behind main hotel. Pool area and bar were good too. Shuttle runs every 20 mins to the beach by McDonalds
