Scene
Dated, low-frills apartment complex by the beach
The Vina del Mar Apartments attract a varied crowd of tourists looking for an affordable, self-catering spot by the beach. The 14-story building is bland, as are the dated interiors. Expect old-fashioned quartz flooring, low wooden ceilings, and little decoration in the lobby, while apartments have thin linens and floral artwork. There are no other common areas expect for the outdoor terrace housing a good-sized pool and kiddy pool. Some worn loungers line the terrace, but some past guests have complained of limited sunlight here. Overall, this is a suitable pick for travelers wanting an apartment-style property by the beach, but beware of extra fees and evident wear.
Location
Three-minute walk from the beach
This hotel is a three-minute walk from Playa de Levante, Benidorm’s wide and sandy beach, as well as its adjacent promenade. Numerous shops, bars, and restaurants fill the surrounding streets, while the old town can be reached in about a 25-minute walk (or shorter drive). There, visitors will find a historic square and Mirador, a viewpoint once used to defend Benidorm. Alicante Airport is a 45-minute drive away, while Murcia-San Javier Airport takes about 90 minutes, depending on traffic.
Rooms
Spacious, old-fashioned apartments with well-equipped kitchens
The spacious and bright apartments at Vina del Mar can sleep between four and six people, depending on if they have one or two bedrooms. All have the same dated design, consisting of basic wood furniture, gray tile floors, beige walls with floral artwork, and thin patterned blue or red linens. Separate living areas have sofa beds, dining tables, and flat-screen TVs, while well-equipped kitchens come with full-size fridges, stovetops, ovens, microwaves, toasters, coffeemakers, and all the necessary cookware. Straightforward bathrooms have shower/tub combos and bidets, but no toiletries. Furnished terraces are roomy, but views are mediocre. Ironing facilities are provided, but Wi-Fi, safes, and hairdryers all require fees.
Features
Swimming pool and kiddy section
As a decidedly no-frills option, the Vina del Mar Apartments has very little in the way of amenities. It’s worth mentioning off the bat that there are no restaurant, bar, gym, or kids' club here. On the plus side, there are a medium-sized outdoor pool and separate kiddy pool. The deck, which doesn't get sun all day, is lined with some worn loungers and a few tables. Wi-Fi requires a fee.
