Gala Placidia Hotel
Spain, Europe
Costa Blanca
So you've got the sun, the sea and the sand. You've got all the bars, restaurants and attractions of Benidorm at your disposal. Now you're just going to need a hotel to go with that...
Take a look at the Gala Placidia Hotel. It's one of Benidorm's best located hotels, just 600 metres from the gorgeous Levante beach (Please note that the hotel is up a steep hill). Better yet, it's one of Benidorm's friendliest hotels too. Let's be honest, Benidorm is all geared up for tourists - they know how to treat us well. But staying at the Gala Placidia Hotel can feel just that little bit extra special.
Try the Gala Placidia Hotel for a big taste of Benidorm hospitality (beach style):
When you're in Spain, it's nice to be close to the beach. And when you stay at the Gala Placidia Hotel you're only going to be about 600 metres away. Perfect. The beach at Levante is one of the region's best too. Lots of clean, golden sand and big horizons. Take it easy, take a dip, or get adventurous and try a few water sports - it's your holiday, make the most of it.
The irresistible allure of the beach is just one of the reasons people choose the Gala Placidia Hotel. It's perfectly placed for getting out and about in Benidorm too. Whether you get out by day for shopping and sightseeing, or by night for sangria and partying, the Gala Placidia is never far away. And there's always a warm welcome waiting for you.
There's certainly plenty there to help make the Gala Placidia feel like home for a week or two. Of course a comfortable room can help anywhere feel like home, and the Gala Placidia's rooms are comfy and cosy. They come equipped with air conditioning, TV, telephone, bath and shower as well as a strong box. All rooms have a balcony or terrace - somewhere else to relax and take in the sun and the sangria.
One of the other nice things about the Gala Placidia Hotel is its evening entertainment programme. It helps bring guests together and gives this hotel its close-knit, welcoming feel.
Another great place for guests to get together is around the main pool - whether you want to stretch out in the sun, swim a few laps or take a siesta. There's a children's pool too, and even a cot service (at a fee), so families are definitely welcome at the Gala Placidia.
Add to all of that a great buffet service and restaurant, TV room and you've got a hotel that ticks all the boxes.
With its great location, friendly ambience and abundant facilities, the Gala Placidia is always going to be one of this region's most popular tourist hotels.

Would return
Stayed for 8days, one adult + 2 children
Hotel staff was all very polite and very friendly from reception to room cleaner. Rooms and common area were always clean, rooms will need some maintenance soon eg curtains wouldn’t fully close, toilet seat was a bit loose, soap dispenser not working etc There’s also a lot and I mean a lot of noite from 8am. It didn’t wake up the tired children but woke me up every morning.. basically rooms aren’t soundproof at all which means you can hear not only people getting out of their rooms but also the maid cleaning upper rooms moving beds etc etc don’t expect to sleep past this!
I’ve read some reviews about food being cold and menu was very repetitive. Food was definitely not cold (even plates were warm) and everyday they’d try to cook dishes from a different country. I can’t say it’s the tastiest food I’ve ever had but was good enough and definitely kept kids happy. We went on full board and I’m happy I didn’t pay for all inclusive - from what I could see the snacks were mainly fried stuff, burgers and some pastries.. The restaurant was always busy but somehow I never had to wait for a free table and waitresses were always happy to help and were quick to pick dirty dishes away.. My main concern at the restaurant was a few flies around some of the food, mainly deserts and starters. If I may, I’d suggest breakfast should open for slightly longer.. due to the night entertainment kids would just go to bed around 23h30-00h which doesn’t give them enough rest.
Entertainment is poor, there’s 3 young staff that do try but clearly don’t have enough experience.. for instance for pool basket they’d just drop a basket and a ball and would bugger of somewhere .
Twice they brought an inflammable slide to the pool and that was definitely their favourite thing.
At night time there’s some entertainment - it was good enough for the children so can’t really complain, but the favourite ones were brought from the outside though (parrot show, circus show, magic show)
The microphone and speaker definitely definitely need updating.. it’s painful to hear - hurts the ears, hurts he head, hurts the soul 😂
It’s mentioned on the hotel website there’s a kids club suitable for children up to 12yo so parents can relax. There isn’t. I had to ask 3 different people about this and then I was told kids club it’s at the Dynastic hotel and I’d have to stay there looking at them so .. what’s the point? It’s probably worth it to take this information away and if it comes to it invite them for one or two activities during the stay.
Overall it was a brilliant week away and kids were as happy as I ever seen them so in the end that’s what matters. I’d definitely come back (and they’ve asked me to) Thank you all 🙏
great bang for buck
I have been to this hotel on many occasions all inclusive, you have buffet breakfast lunch and dinner between breakfast and lunch there is a limited snack service, afternoon i believe is 5-6.30pm there is another limited snack service, but how often do you need to eat? in my opinion the food is very good with plenty choice, themed menus on an evening, the drinks for a budget AI are very good, the rooms are cleaned daily, everything is quite modern looking, its a great location with been close to the strip but far away enough to avoid the hustle and bustle, will throw in the negatives as everything is horses for courses, the hill of the main road is quite steep, i wish there was a mini fridge in room, maybe a kettle, but this could increase the price so bare this in mind, all the staff are friendly, there has been over the years a couple bad apples but they seem to have now left, the evening entertainment is a bit hit and miss but you are in benidorm with all the live entertainment, so who stays in the hotel every night? not sure if any of the rooms have walk in showers if you have mobility issues which is now something i have to look at, overall its its great bang for buck with many returning guests! its suits me and my partner is we like it as a relaxing friendly base, but we also still like to go out for the entertainment and sample some of the local eateries, we can all go to different places and find fault, we do not look under the bed for fluff or bit of dust that you have to stand on tip toe to find, do not be that Karen ;0)
