We were a party of five going to Benidorm for the Nov festival these apartments were in the perfect location for the nightlife (although you have to expect a lot of noise!!!!! till 6am) but if you dnt mind the noise and want to party then the accom is perfect
The rooms were clean although the second bedroom is very small
reasonably priced so would definately recommend

as a group of lads travelling for a long weekend this hotel was spot on. the rooms are basic but they had everything for selfcatering and all the rooms we stayed in were clean and tidy. if your looking for a quiet relaxing holiday with early nights, dont bother theres music from local bars till 8am in the morning but if you have a fews drinks you probably wont hear it like us? there is no bar in the hotel and the reception is only open for an hour or 2 a day but thankfully we had no problems with our rooms or anything like that and theres plenty of bars and restaurants as soon as you walk out of the gate. all in all a good hotel for what we wanted.

Smashing block of apts for a couple or a group and situated in a perfect location right on the main strip. Theyare certainly value for money. I couldnt fault these self service apts.

I have stayed at the san diego 3 times now, really clean and spactious apartments they are in a prime location to the beach , bars and resturants. I would recomend these apartments everytime, the only thing i find that lets them down is they do not have 24hrs reception and if you are on a night flight i think it is really awkward go to get the keys from a different hotel.

We have stayed here for the past few years, mainly for the location in the midddle of the main square, which for an all girl group is great for getting home on your own and no cost with taxi's.
The rooms are spotless, fully equipped kitchen and even a washing machine. The maids come round regularly to change towels and if you want clean sheets you just have to ask.
My two minor gripes would be that the reception is only open a couple of hours a day and if there is an emergency there is no contact number to reach anyone and the outside noise, which is constant with music, people, drilling and even with the windows closed this is still loud, you need to be in a constant state of inebriation to be able to sleep but i suppose the reason why we go in November is for the festival so it is expected!!

The apartments were very clean & tidy and had everything we needed. Felt safe & secure with the locked secrity gates and we were smack bang in the middle of the action. Fantastic, and we will be going back.

i stayed there about 4 times now and enjoyed each time the rooms are big enough and clean , the people are great , the lady at reception can not do enough for you ,if she can help you she will and with a smile, if you stay at the front facing the square it can be a bit loud at night, i stayed there in march july and october this year i am looking forward to the next time, the only thing i dont like is having to get your keys at the alph , the man ther is not that nice to you anyway i hope you enjoy your holiday .

Just arrived back from The San Diego Apartments, I would recommend these apartments for a good lively holiday as they are beside the nightclub Cafe Benidorm, It can be very noisy all night so dont expect peace and quite.Apartments nice and clean, nothing bad to say except when we arrived at the Alpha aparts at 4 in the afternoon to collect our keys the chap in reception was locking up and was not very pleasant.He seemed very annoyed that I was asking for keys when he was on his way home. He was a bit intimadating which made me nervous and I couldnt remember my credit card pin which made him even more annoyed. Eventually I got sorted, no thanks to him. If he cant deal with the public in a pleasant manner, he should not be doing that job.

only thing ican say that is not good about the appartments is that there is no air conditioning, other than that, the staff are second to none espcially nadine, the facilities are top notch you are right in the heart of everything and as far as im concerned there is no where else i would stay in benidorm other than the san dieago appartments, and i have stayed in a few places to include the presidente and sol pelecanos hotels and other appartments, none compare to the san dieago!!!!!!! class, courtsey and well placed!!!!!!! be back in november see you all then, pamela xxx

the apartments we stayed were in a great location we could walk to everything they were clean and plenty of room all the applainces were great to but we had a very bad experience whilt sunbathing at the aprtment pool side the key for are room was stolen we think by someone putting the hand in between the railings from the walkway into the apartments as no one was beside us at the pool.
we noticed r key gone when we went back upto r apartment so we contacted reception and explained the lady at reception let us in to the room with a master key and told us she would be back to change the lock when we entered the room everything was stolen r camera mobile phone money rings chains and even r cloths and underwear we spoke to the owner and contacted the police who came and asked to view the cctv footage of the block the owner said it did not work the only people at the pool when we were ther was a group of 20 spainish men and women who kept leaving and returning in twos we told the police this and they asked the owner if they could have permission to search the four rooms they were staying in as this is who we beleive was responisble the owner would not give permission so the police could not do the search unless he said yes in the end up they interviewed them but there was nothing they could do the whole week we were there before an after r key was stolen the owner a heavy spainish man was very friendly with this group of men and women as if he new them two other rooms were robbed

My husband and I have just returned from the Sandiego apartments in Benidorm.The apartments are great,very clean,well equipped for self-catering, with a four burner gas cooker and an electric oven,large fridge/freezer,washing machine,coffee maker,toaster and all the equipment you need to cook meals.
The pool area is small and sometimes it is not all-ways possible to get sun beds,this is because some people go down early and reserve them with towels then don't turn up until the afternoon,but we went down at 10.30 and all-ways got beds.
The staff are great,, very friendly,especially the lady who runs the reception.
The sandiego overlook Benidorm square,so it does get noisy at night if you sleep with the windows open,air- con would help but they don't have it.
We had a great holiday and cant Wait to return.
This was the second time we have been to the Sandiego.

This is the fifth year me and the girls have stayed at the San Diego Apartments! I personally cannot fault them! They are clean, have everything required for a self catering holiday (even a washing machine) and you cant get safer when it comes to location and security, especially for a group of girls! Have just one issue and thats the guy who I presume is caretaker and lives there. Not a very nice man, when we were coming in early hours of the morning he would just appear on the stairwell, also kind of watches you round the pool which can be quite uncomfertable! Other than him everything was spot on, had the best 40th ever! Will be returning again next year and cant wait! Will definately be booking through Benidorm Spotlight also, straight forward with no problems! Roll on next July! Dee and the girls Newcastle!

Yet again for the 4th year running we have enjoyed a brill Hol. Apartments very clean and just what you need for a few days away !! Central to all the action, beach, shops and bars.
We come every year and are ready to book for next year !!! A slight mix up with deposits this year but this didnt spoil our fun !!!!

nice and secure, clean, with a pleasent pool area. These are apartments are great value for money and really close to the beach and nightlife - especially the rockin' rockys bar !maybe not for those who want a peacefull holiday though as the central position means you do get nightclub noise, if you are not in them making it ! VERY helpful service from spotlight staff, but paying the deposit out of hours was a little chaotic, we were surrounded by drunks whilst counting out the money at the bar (as asked) in the alpha apartments. #

A great place to stay if you want to be in the middle of everything.Plenty of room in apartment and very good kitchen.Gates are locked at night and a tank could'nt break down your room door very secure.Room service once a week and you have to buy your own bog roll no big deal.My wife and I who are in our 50's loved it and will go back again.Can be noisy as your right in the heart of disco land but did'nt bother us stayed the 10/05/2010 for 10 day's no complaints really good value for money and perfect for old and young if you want a good time

Brilliant accommodation situated on the main strip. Rooms are plenty big enough for 4 people. Nice and clean - full kitchen. Would recommend you bring your own bath towels as although provided, they are not that good. There are no bar facilities at the hotel and the pool is not very big but as it isn't far from the beach, it wasn't an issue. Would definitely recommend it to groups of people, I wouldn't recommend it to families as it is very noisy in the evening.

We have stayed at theses apartments many times and have never had a complaint.
Very secure and very clean.
Only thing I could see wrong is, there is not an iron in the apartment - not a major problem
Will be booking again

Great central location, we will defo stay again

Great central accomodation. Cheap,clean and basic accomodation. Nice pool. Could have done with more towel changes. I liked the safety barrier around the grounds especially with us being female and the appartments being just off from the square. Despite these concerns we will be staying here again next year due to its fabuolous location opposite KFC.
Concerns initially regarding finding where to go to check in out of reception hours as reception isnt open much and also regarding getting the deposit back. Dont expect to get your deposit back out of hours, it will either be refunded back onto a credit card or I got a postal order through the post. It was actually less in £'s than what we paid in Euros so please be aware of this. We should have had 150 euros back and i got £136. Overall a good place stay.

The apartments were just what we were looking for, right in the center of the night life and within easy reach of the beach.
The pool was lovely and staff were friendly.
