Mine wasn't a good one Fiona, a few years ago we took an a.o.a in Benidorm, well Benidorm, you think of the wide curve of ir and those hundreds of hotels,,,, not so, we were dropped off at Albea which is same coastline but miles away, in a hotel which buisness people use, yellow pages and writng desk in the rooms, flat, grey and dull looking place with no balconies, no pool,,,,,so be careful

logic

Yes we have done it three times now, and we have been lucky every time,
Though i have heard quite a fewm stories like JOYS.

I had a good one once and still cannot get over it.

The hotel was superb. On the coach we were dropping off the others and looking at their hotels, my face did drop.
But on seeing mine which was easily a four star, I soon cheered up.

If you're going with say Firstchoice, look at the brochure for the hotels in the area you're going to. You can get a rough idea of what the hotels are like.
