Stayed here 18th Jan - 25th Jan, with my wife , this was our 2nd stay here.
We were checked in very swiftly at reception by Fran ( i think that was his name), & we were allocated room 1211 , so quite high up ,& the time was 12 30 p.m. ,however much to our delight ,we were able to check into our room immediately, which was great!
We were given an upgrade to a superior room which contained two double beds, so that was a lovely surprise!
The balcony was spacious ,two chairs & a table, but we do dislike those white plastic chairs though. There is a small fridge ,free of charge plus a safe - chargeable i think - we never used it , plus a kettle & coffee ,tea bags etc which were replaced every day too. The bathroom had a lovely walk in shower, leaked onto the floor slightly ,plus some shampoo, body wash too.
We had a view of the pool & surrounding hotels & apartments from our end balcony, our room was facing the side street, as there are four rooms on each floor facing here & the other eight rooms overlook the pool directly, not generally a better view from those rooms ,as we stayed in room 805 last year.
We were on a full board basis, & just like last year, the food on offer at all three settings was so nice, a lot of choices for starters mains & desserts, all very fresh ingredients ,which were constantly replenished at all times.
This was one of the many reasons we chose to stay at the RH Princesa again ,we also chose here for the indoor pool area which we could use for one hour every day free of charge as we were with jet 2 , plus we had access to the sauna & steam room too, &, as of last time, we found every area of the hotel immaculately clean, so a great job all round !
There was entertainment held in the lounge every evening which was fine, usually two different acts were on so that was good. The only problem this time around, apart from one evening, was the wait to order our drinks in the lounge, as there was only one guy in a packed room taking all the orders, so most nights we gave up waiting & walked up to the bar instead, where, funnily enough, there were FIVE staff behind the bar, but they weren't rushed off their feet ,as it took so long for one member of staff to take the orders that they had ample time to make up the drinks !
Drinks prices were very reasonable & the measures were great too !
This hotel caters well for kids too, there is a great games room, plus lots of outdoor facilities at the back of the hotel , like mini golf, trampolines , bouncy castle ,plus there's a separate play room for the younger kids.
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here once again ,all of the staff & management are a credit to this hotel, as they are all very friendly & efficient, the entire hotel is spotlessly clean & very well organised too, plus it is only a 10 minute walk into the old town & a similar time to walk to the beach.
Once again we hit lucky with the weather, we only had two hours of rain in the entire week, temp was between 14 -18 degrees, so not bad for January !
We will certainly choose to stay here again on our next trip to Benidorm & we will definitely recommend the RH Princesa to our friends & family.
