3.5 star ratingvery clean. atractive building food very bland and not enough choice. need drink making facilities in rooms.04 November 2008
5.0 star ratingEverything about our stay at the Bali was superb, (we would have liked the minibar to be stocked other than with water) The food was of a standard that equals any cruise liner, The above average rooms were cleaned expertly. The whole Hotel was a pleasure to visit. none17 November 2008
4.0 star ratingVery impressive looking hotel and if it was a bit nearer Old Town or Levante it would be much more popular. The food was ok for the price we paid, the staff were not as friendly as the Hotel Benidorm Centre which we stayed in approx seven weeks before. That is not to say the staff were unfriendly, but a smile at the reception and maybe one more member of staff at busy times would make a big improvement.Because of the credit crunch the area is not developing as quick as it should. The food, although not bad, was pretty bland (but good for the price we paid) and we ate out the last two nights we were there.I have one main gripe and that was having to go to a bar for our drinks in the dining room.For a party of nine people you should have a wine waiter coming to your table as is done in all decent hotels including Benidorm Centre.17 November 2008
3.5 star ratingClean and friendly. Great views of coastline and lovely rooms.Food a disgrace for the quality of hotel. Very bland and poorly presented.17 November 2008
4.5 star ratingHotel overall is very good, staff efficient & courteous, food is good, entertainment not bad.24 November 2008
4.5 star ratingI went to this hotel in January for my retirement do as a party of 28, 12 couples aged between 25 to 55 and 4 single lads. Staff very friendly and efficient, nice hotel, comfy beds and everywhere was clean. Some of the food was very good and other choices not so but there was always plenty of choice and so you could usually find something nice. We were booked All Inclusive Light but when we checked in they gave us full All Inclusive, drinks 10.30 till 23.00 meals and snacks and for what we paid, £55 / night, it was very good valueOnly thing missing was a heated indoor pool which would have been nice and maybe expected in a large 4* hotel. There was not a lot of bars etc open in the area but after all it was January. We used to get a taxi up to the Cafe Benidorm area where all the cabaret bars etc were and it was under ?10 uo, just over back but knew this prior to booking and preffered to have a nice hotel and travel rather than stay in a noisy fleapit.28 January 2010
3.5 star ratingfound the staff in general ok gave us a better room on the first time of asking first room a little small staff in the dining room where helpful and engaging the hotel is the best in the area by far asked for sky sports on the television to watch the match in the television room which is at the far end of the hotel this was organised no problem the only downside was the food chips for breakfast some days ok others not so good there was good quality meats and veg but it was wasted by bad menus and poor effort in the cooking22 January 2010
3.5 star ratingAll inclusive package was well worth it. Hotel is spacious and cleanLocation was well away from Benidorm nightlife resulting in using taxis quite alot. Noise from adjourning rooms was noticablecampj05 February 2010
4.5 star ratingOur first ever trip to Benidorm and can honestly say that the hotel was lovely. We had a room on the 29th floor which had fantastic sea views and a full view of the resrt of Benidorm. We also went up to the viewing tower on the 45th floor, this cost hotel guests 1 euro each or non guests 5 euro. We had the great value half board option and found the restaurant very good. There was a huge range of options and even the most fussy eater would be satisfied with the wide selection on offer. Both breakfast and dinner were in the main restaurant and buffet style. Lunch could be had instead of dinner if preferred. Picnics were also made available. We didn't use the hotel bar often but it seemed nice. We went outside the main season so things were probably a lot quiter than normal.The hotel is in a good spot but far from the main strip which seems to be on Levante beach. Having said that, this is what we prefer from a holiday. Beautiful beaches in the area about 300 metres from the hotel. Just bear in mind that some of the walk back is uphill! There is an excellent bus service outside the hotel taking you into the old town and further down the strip, costs 2.60euro for two. All in all we enjoyed our stay in the Grand Bali and were both rather impressed when we found out it is the tallest hotel in Europe. If we go back to Benidorm, we would strongly consider staying here again.Although the staff were very polite and proffesional there was no banter or craic with them. The waiters in the restaurant just cleared the table, there was never any "Did you enjoy your meal" etc. We would be good tippers on holiday but there was no neccessity to tip in this hotel, the customer service was just not there. They were efficient at their jobs but it stopped there. Perhaps it is just a spanish thing, but the spanish islands always cost us a fortune in tips! The facilities were first class and the pools lovely but beware they are literally ice cold, the sea was warmer. The only other negative I would have is being first time visitors to mainland Spain there was no information on the resort bar a few leaflets advertising this and that.We couldn't get our hands on a map of the area for love or money.Holiday Princess03 October 2011
3.0 star ratingMooi gebouw met veel voorzieningen, winkels, bars etc. Vriendelijk behulpzaam personeel Een vrouw achter de balie was zeer sjagrijnig en onwelwillend tijdens het inchequen, dat we al even spijt hadden dat we naar hotel Bali waren gekomen. Het overige personeel heeft het weer ruimschoots goed gemaakt.15 November 2011

4.0 star ratingThe staff gave us the informations we needed. Very easy to find the bus and taxes whenever we needed themThe music at night by the pool was both far to loud and they should have stopped it sooner This annoyed lot of peopleInga12 October 2012
4.0 star ratingVery good value for money. Magnificent chess tournament from Nov. 30 until Dec. 9 2012.In the evening you can't find a spot were you can sit quietly together to have a drink and talk. In the two bars the music is very loud, in one bar even unbearable.11 December 2012
5.0 star ratingAfther 10 years still excellent service,kindness of the stafff, room, food, OKSome of the all-in clients (no names or nationality) behaviour was not only for me but for several clients and more than once disturbing.16 December 2012
2.5 star ratingHotel near the beach but far from the town centre. Nice swimming pools. Drinks not too expensive at the bar. Nice staff at the reception not at the restaurants.Room was quite dusty and a bit run down. Bathroom was quite small. Food's quality was poor. Hotel staff look overwhelmed by the work and not enough staff. At peak time we had to wait a long time for lifts to come, one of the lifts didn't have a light for more than 3 days and although clients complained nothing was being done, which it was quite scary as it was completely dark and you have to bear in mind is the tallest building in Benidorm!Salsafly19 September 2013

3.5 star ratingHyvällä ja rauhallisella paikalla. Huoneesta hienot näkymät Benidormiin ja rannalle.Hotelli todella suuri ja varsinkin aamupalan aikaan hissien odotus todella pitkä, koska huoneemme oli 18 kerroksessa. Meillä oli puolihoito ja illlalisella ruoka oli vaihtelevan laatuista (varsinkin kalan valmistaminen ei onnistunut). Aamupalalta puuttui myös tuoreet hedelmät ja vihannekset.Nimetön 19 February 2015
