Hotel Las Arenas Affiliated by Meliá

Haven't been on a package holiday for quite some time but really enjoyed it. The hotel is modern, well maintained in the main and as clean as it can be considering the amount of visitors using it. It's seconds from the beach, minutes from cafes/bars/shops and about a 15 minute walk from a proper supermarket. There's a lovely walk to the marina down the promenade which took maybe a leisurely hour. Nice vibe, again with csfes/bars and market stalls. We had a lovely sea view room which was an upgrade we selected on booking. We tried half board which isn't my usual option but it was good considering mass catering. Lots of choice of different cuisines, fresh and well replenished. It did the job for the five nights we were there. There's also a happy hour at 5pm, all drinks two for one apart from water and coffee. Ooh, and a nice roof top bar by night, not sure about during the day as we just went one night. The staff overall were either really friendly or they ignored you but not a problem for us. The hotel says good for couples, when we were there the customer demographic was mainly couples aged from 50's up. We encountered a hiccup on arrival which was in the main sorted, we'll see what jet2 says about the main gripe but that said it wouldn't put me off returning. Very much enjoyed the holiday and loved Benaldamena.

A really good hotel with friendly, hardworking staff and great food. Rooms are clean and functional with comfortable beds. The location is convenient, although there is some road noise. Entertainment is provided each night in the Salon Bar. The Sky Bar is a really lovely venue but spoilt (in our opinion) by the awful choice of music playlist, completely unsuited to the hotel’s demographic, which was mainly more mature people at the time of our visit. Overall, we would recommend this hotel, though, particularly for the excellent variety of fresh and tasty food both at breakfast and dinner.

Just back from a very lovely 3 night stay here. All of the staff were welcoming and friendly. The hotel & room was very clean and comfortable, plus the buffet breakfast was delicious and varied. We'd love to go back!

Very nice hotel, room was very big and new style, there was a couple of very long black hairs on the floor from cleaners so hair needs to be tired back The view from our room was a massive tree so not very good,also guests leaving congregate below this room waiting for coaches an taxis so ask for a higher floor. Wasn’t too bothered because we spent most the days out The food was really nice and great selection, staff were brilliant in restaurant very hard working and friendly, one girl looked like the singer Sade she was really good, thank you Bar staff were brilliant also (Arnold) Roof top bar has a great view pool area loses its sunshine to shade from the hotel so better days at the beach All in all was a good place to stay because staff, food and location made it for us

Stayed here for 11 nights, a faultless holiday. Hotel superb, very clean and across the road from the beach. The food was delicious, lots of variety, something for everyone. Particular highlights were the Sky Bar and Happy Hour between 5 and 6 - the 2 for 1 cocktails went down rather well! Staff were incredibly polite and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Would have no hesitation in returning, thank you for a wonderful time.
