Avoid this place at all costs!
We came as a family of 3, stayed at the albir playa. Unfortunately the hotel was not what we expected!! Firstly, the pool doesn’t open until 10am, they put tape in place at the top of the outdoor stairs for everyone to queue and wait for it to open at 10am. It is so embarrassing it is like the grand national race to get a bed. It is so dangerous people are pushing each other to get down the steps and running for sunbeds! It’s a complete accident waiting to happen! I was personally pushed over by another person grappling for a bed that I was heading towards. Not great if you are unsteady on your feet, if you are Usain Bolt you’ll be fine. Unfortunately if you don’t get to a bed quick enough then you’ll spend the rest of your day with no sun bed. We booked half board with the option to change from evening meal to lunch. Found staff to be very unhelpful and rude when asking to change option on the same day, they actually refused us entry. Had breakfast once, food was very poor bacon almost broke my tooth and the food was cold, not a great selection either. Very disappointing as we then ate out for every meal. We stayed in a deluxe room, which on arrival reception stated the mini bar (soft drinks and crisps) would be replenished daily. Unfortunately they only replenished this once during our 7 night stay. Rooms were generally clean and basic Avoid at all costs, not worth the money or frustration! Worst hotel we’ve ever stayed in.

Return again and again 👍
Just returned from another visit to this hotel and it was again a fantastic experience, the staff throughout the hotel were helpful, courteous and professional in their day to day efforts to ensure our visit was enjoyable, like any business there is always room for improvement but reception was always there to assist when required and if possible to fix any problem, the rush for sunbeds definitely needs to be addressed before someone is seriously injured but I would say that later in the year and indeed earlier I have never experienced this problem. Over the years we have made many freinds with various members of staff and this year was no different but a special shout out for recent employee Sandra who worked at pool bar daytime and Bar lounge in the evening IMO she was the epitome of what you would want as an employee if you managed the hotel or as we were guests of the hotel , thanks again Albir Playa & Spa for a great 10 day stay the Cormie's Dave & Alison ... the Hamill's Leonard,Sara and Sophie ...until the next time chee rs

Great hotel
Lovely hotel. I am here now and I would have to try hard to find much to complain about. Breakfast choice is fantastic. There are PLENTY of sun loungers around the pool but for some reason people still find the need to queue and rush down the steps to get their favourite spot, which provides much entertainment for those having breakfast at a leisurely pace. I am sitting looking at empty loungers now but of course there are also the empty ones that rushers bagged and aren’t even using. Free shuttle to beach to take you and bring you back when you like. Would definitely return. We have friends here so likely will.
Great location , clean hotel, staff very welcoming and friendly
We have stayed at this hotel twice now and have 2 children under 5. The hotel is very clean and the cleaners work hard. The food options are basic but there’s always something to get if you’re a fussy eater. The staff in the restaurant are very helpful assisting with high chairs and having somewhere to put the prams etc.
The pool area opens at 10am there is a barrier and plenty of sun loungers at the back by the baby pool and there’s even stacks of them piled up in case you get down the pool area late. When the barrier opens the only people I have seen run down the steps is children excited to get to the pool.
The hotel is in a great location close to supermarkets there is a popeyes, McDonald’s and Burger King a 5 minute stroll. Also some very good Indian and Chinese restaurants opposite hotel. The beach again is 5-10minute stroll, plenty bars and restaurants nice pleasant vibe. There’s a children’s mini fairground trampolines and bouncy castles and small rides. You can stroll into Altea 15-20min stroll along the beach with beautiful mountain and sea views. Benidorm is a 10minutes on the bus an 5 mins in a taxi.
This is perfect for a chilled holiday little play area for the kids, gym in the hotel and spa. The hotel is sound the staff are sound and the weather is Boss!
Looking forward to going back next year!

Do not come here if you want a nice staff
The staff in the reception is rude and not very welcoming. Really disappointed over the staff as they seemed angry/rude throughout our stay. Never again.
