Hotel Helios - Benidorm

[@Budnbuf]

Thanks for reviewing. Good job, you cover things I would want to know.

We stayed at the Pueblo to the right of the Helios....perfect location. If you can see the pool from your balcony...it's a pool view!

stayed there last year, its a nice hotel, however if you want a perfect hotel, the gold arcos, which you can see from your balcony is the ultimate in hotels in benidorm, perfect facilities, amazing rooms, they are huge, and rooftop pool is lovely.

I think that’s the one that lights up different colours? It looks nice and the balconies look massive but I wondered if the lights would get annoying when sat out (maybe you can’t see them).

@@michaeldoesstuffs no you definitely cant see them, or hear any noise, everything about the hotel is just amazing

Hi Michael, I am looking at staying at the Helios for a change as normally I stay at the Presidente. Can you tell me if the room you are showing is a Standard or Premium room please? Enjoy your stay!

[@michaeldoesstuffs]

Hi, I think it was standard as it was not on the upper floors (which is where the premium rooms are), plus it didn't have a coffee machine (as premium have). They gave me an upgrade to a pool view which I'd recommend as the back is not as nice. Presidente looked nice though, interested to know what your thoughts are on that if I decide to go back.

@@michaeldoesstuffs Hi Hotel Presidente is a very clean bright Hotel . I have been there with friends and family on different occasions and they all said they thought the food was very good. We went Full board as there was not much price difference between that and half board. All rooms come with Tea making facilities but do charge to refill, so much Cheaper to buy your own tea and coffee for the week. The Hotel bar last year worked out cheaper to buy a drink than it did outside. As I have stayed there 5 times and had a room once over looking the Helios wondering what it was like there as it always gets good reviews. PS Does the Helios sell Strongbow?☺

[@michaeldoesstuffs]

Perhaps it comes down to price then. If the Presidente ticks all the boxes then maybe stick with that. I was surprised that the prices were cheaper than some of the outside bars, which is not typical for hotels. Not sure on the Strongbow!
