Reviews of the Acuarium II Apartments

By Edward Hill.

Month of travel: October, 2011

Having not stayed in Benidorm before, we had no local experience for comparison We were slightly disappointed by the lack of cleaning items in our room: no dishcloth, dishwashing liquid, etc., yet were apparently expected to leave the rooms and dishes clean and in good order. We were also dissappointed by the limited number of cooking pans or microwave-capable bowls. Nevertheless, if the right opportunity occurs, we may well come again next year.

These apartments are in an ideal location especially for young people as it is walking distance to the beach and nightlife. the rooms were spotless and perfect for me and my friend, we each had a bed and the view from the balcony was amazing as you cud see the beach each morning you looked out the window, i would recommend these apartments to any one. there was a lot of hen and stag parties also staying in the same apartments but they were quiet at night, cant say the same for during the day but they were harmless just there to have fun like everyone else. would make sure i stay here again as it was ideal and great value for money especially for girls on a budget, means you have more money 2 relax and enjoy yourself :)

The apartment was larger than I expected,with a great balcony. Clean and tidy, with a well equipped kitchen including fridge freezer, microwave, double hob and plates, pans, glasses etc.
Comfortable chairs and beds. Would sleep 4 adults easily. 10 minutes stroll to the beach and the same to the bars, but far enough away not to be disturbed by noise at night. There was a small pool but we did not try it, although it looked fine. All this for €33 (£29) per night, self catering. We went 27th to the 30th May. All transactions with Benidorm Spotlight/Acuarium II went ok even though we arrived late at night and had to pick the key up at another hotel. As long as you read your booking instructions carefully, you should have no trouble. May not be too good for young children because of balcony and large opening windows in hallways (especially if you are on higher floors!) Mad Munk pub that is attached to the apartments is great for cheap beer and good, reasonably priced food.

We have taken holidays in Benidorm using different Hotels and Apartments since 1995. We first stayed at AcuariumII in 2000 and we have stayed there every year since, Latterly having used the apartments two and three times a year and with this September 2010 being our FOURTEENTH visit it is still great value for money.
I have already written previous reviews in November 2008/2009 and there is not much more I can add except to say, in my opinion, this must still be one of the best deals for accommodation in Benidorm for price, location, nearby amenities, clean and with a first class efficient service from the staff in the office below. Swimming pool area completely renovated this year and looking better than ever. We aim to be back again next year.

WE booked this for friends so we didnt actually stay there.However my friend liked it and would recommend it.The balcony was huge! Swimming pool nice with plenty of sun beds and was a sun trap.Handy for everything but not too close to all the noise.

We have planned our accomodation with Benidorm spotlight for the last 6 or so years and have had no problems at all, any little "hiccups" with the apartments have been sorted - no problem, so booking apartments with them again this year, for our Silver Wedding Celebration holiday, was never a doubt and as usual, no problems. We booked the Aquarium II as this is located in the Area of Benidorm we wanted to stay as our "Silver Wedding Party" was being held in JJ`s Cosmopolitan Bar where Belinda laid on a buffet for us and were joined by some of our family, friends (from home & Benidorm), staff and customers who were in on the night. We had a great night, and the holiday overall was like being on honeymoon. We are looking to come back later on in the year and may stay in the old town but as usual we will book accomodation through Benidorm Spotlight.

THIS WAS OUR THIRTEENTH TIME AT THE ACUARIUM II
AND THAT MUST SPEAK FOR ITSELF.ONCE AGAIN WE SPENT A GREAT FORTNIGHT FROM 24 APRIL TO 8 MAY AND HAVE BOOKED OUR FOURTEENTH HOLIDAY FOR SEPTEMBER. DURING THIS HOLIDAY WE WATCHED THE SWIMMING POOL AND POOL AREA BEING COMPLETELY RENOVATED AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW IT LOOKS WHEN WE RETURN IN SEPTEMBER. TWO THINGS ARE EVIDENT IN THESE OLDER ESTABLISHED APARTMENTS, CONSTANT RENOVATION AND KEEPING THE FLATS UP TO DATE. THIS IS A SHORT REVIEW BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN REVIEWS FOR SEPTEMBER 2008 AND 2009 PLEASE READ THEM AND YOU WILL SEE WHY WE ALWAYS BOOK ACUARIUM II THROUGH SPOTLIGHT. IT IS SO EASY AND WITH ONLY A 20% DEPOSIT YOU CAN'T GO WRONG. WE FOUND THAT, AS EXPECTED FROM OUR PREVIOUS GREAT HOLIDAYS, THAT EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT AND GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY SO THIRTEENTH TIME WAS STILL LUCKY.

We found the appartment fulfilled our needs for our short stay. Well equiped with three good elevators to get us up and down without too much delay. If English programmed TV were available it might prove popular. We live in Spain and have booked in again for Christmas which is an indication of how we viewed the facility.

Good basic accommodation

this is the second visit to Acuarium 11 the accommodation is basic but adequate to my needs . There are limited cooking facilities if you do your own which I do not as there are plent of good eating places around. if you want TV or Safe you pay extra but again this is no needed if you go out alot.

This is a follow on from my review of September 2008 Samuel Hannah. There is not a lot more I can add except to say that once again we had a perfect time at AcuariumII in September 20th for two weeks and October 24th for one week in 2009.This was our 12th time there and that must speak for itself. The second week we were up on the 21st floor and the view was just fantastic and it was relly nice and quiet up there. We have been in the habit of going to Mallorca for a couple of weeks in April/May but last year we found prices had risen steeply so this April it will be back to Benidorm and the AcuariumII for the real deal. In my thirty odd times holidaying in Spain I have never got better value for money than the AcuariumII. Please read my previous review which gives much more detail regarding the perfect sighting of these flats which are so handy for all the amenities, I beleive, you will be looking for and the service from the main office on the ground floor is so helpfull and friendly. In these times of recession you will certainly get your monies worth at AcuariumII.

good

simple basic accommodation,superbly located behind the indoor market for everything associated with Benidorm.I stayed in a studio on the 18th floor and found it to be perfect for my needs,I do think the room is a squeeze for two people but i was alone and i found it fine.The pool area is in need of some TLC and the price of sunbeds is excessive but all in all you get exactly what you pay for at the AQUARIUM II and that is good basic accommodation a more than reasonable price.I HAD READ that the company was a little shy in returning the deposit but mine was back in my account within a couple of days on return.

Stayed in the Acuarium II In June.

The apartments are situated in a quite road just far enough away from all the hustle and bustle of central Benidorm.

Plenty of pubs and shops nearby and its not far from the beach

First time iv'e stayed there and loved it.
The rooms are lovely and big,lovely and clean and the balconys are lovely and big too.

We stayed on the 18th floor and had a great view of the pool plus the pool of the Pelicanos.

The pool area was very quite and lovely and clean.
The pools nice and there's a little shop by it too.

Great supermarket over the road for everything you want and a Nice pub underneath the apartments too.

We arrived on a Sunday but had no problems getting the keys.
Had to go to Alpha apartments to book in but its not too far.

If you arrive during the week you can get the keys from the office underneath the apartments.
Staff there are lovely and will sort anything out for you,
We even got told we didnt have to leave the apartment on the Sunday morning but stay till Monday.

Now hows that for service :o)

Paid the breakages deposit by card so didnt have to go back with the keys and get the deposit back, Its paid back into your account.

And the added bonus of 150 euro in your pocket ;o)

If your looking for a very good budget priced apartment then you wont go wrong with the Aquarium II.

I'll be staying there again.

And thank you Benidorm Spotlight for another great holiday in beautiful Benidorm :o)

This is our 3rd time in the Acuarium II Apartments and when we come to Benidorm again we will look at these appartments first. We arrived a little earlier this year (april/may its normally may/june) & the pool was closed for a couple of days also the tennis courts were unavailable but what made it interesting was one of the courts was being used for catering for the cast of the tv comedy "Benidorm" so we did not mind as watching from our balcony was interesting. We were in apt. 1H and although slightly smaller than some of the other 1 bedroom apts. it suited us, (2adults & 1 child), and would ask for it again as we always request a low floor.
The usual breakages deposit had gone up from £50 to 150euros so I used my visa card to pay this so you are not too much out of pocket than if you pay by cash and dont have to wait for it on the last day, it gets refunded to your card, (provided you dont break anything).
So once again we had another great holiday and look forward to the next with the same companies & appartments.
Thanks
