Benicàssim is beautiful but I would say to stay somewhere else, I haven’t stayed in a Spanish hotel for some years yet I’m still confused on the rating. The bed was small and on a metal frame with wheels, a random fold away bed in the corner taking up space, horrible fluorescent lighting, dated decor and electrical amities that cut out while in use.
A wide range of services offered on paper but due to such poor reception staff I wouldn’t dare ask anything further. On face value they were friendly and any discussions is ended with “yeah ok” but when followed up the next day with the actual request it is meet with a poor attitude, someone going to check followed by a no. Silly things like moving our family dinner meal to a lunch, the day before not a problem but on the day it was late notice and even got a huff from the person on reception. Asked to change money which is advertised and displayed on the desk which was actually agreed on the first day of my visit to then be declined on the last day as I hadn’t stayed long enough (5 nights), really not sure about that.
Was also charged for using the sun lounger outside the hotel on the beach, checked with the attendant and he said no worries will charge it to your room.
On the plus side the bar staff were very friendly and helpful as well as the restaurant staff, Agueda was kind, friendly, helpful and the only person to check our stay was going well, can’t help leaving without thinking how is she not a manager as she appeared to do this with several other guests.
