Albir Garden Resort

We booked this last min without expectations. We arrived late because storm Darragh caused issues!!! We made it in one piece thankfully. We were greeted with water but the kitchen was closed but it was late and they had some snacks for the all inclusive guests. Our apartment was small but very clean and very nice. The beds aren’t the most comfy but adequate, the tv worked and the shower was basic but nice. They have amazing food here I cannot fault it. Something for everyone. Although by the outdoor pools are shut now because it’s off season they have a nice small heated pool and hot tub and sauna. You have to wear a swim cap tho. They’re 4 euros each or the shop over the road sells them. They also have a gym which is basic but great. Our toilet wasn’t working and they sent a plumber immediately. The other guests were noisy but that’s because there were things going on in the area. The staff were great but Manel was excellent. He was very engaging and planned quiz nights and Bingo as well as other entertainment. The magician was the highlight. I was in stitches. Also pablo bloom was very good. I would highly recommend this place. The public transport is cheap and reliable and the taxis all speak English and are very reasonable. Altea old town is a must if you’re visiting. Lots of old cobble streets and beautiful buildings. It’s my last night tonight and I’m going to a Cuba bar for salsa dancing. Great way to top off the holiday. Thanks Albir Garden resort my son loved it especially the pool tables and the racing game. We said we’ll definitely be back. Muchas gracias ❤️

Dated and very basic apartment. The furniture was uncomfortable and the apartment was not that clean. We were allocated a terrible room. Directly situated above the entertainment area which was extremely loud until midnight making it difficult to sleep. The balcony was directly over the bin area and service gate which turned out to be where the staff met for their breaks and to smoke. This meant we were unable to sit out as their smoke found it’s was directly above and as non smokers we found this disgusting. Deliveries arrived throughout the day and into the evening very noisy. We ate in the restaurant a couple of nights but were not excited or satisfied by the food. We did not use any other facilities during our brief stay. If we had been staying longer I would have asked to be moved.

Had the best time was a great holiday couldnt fault it the staf were great an welcoming the bar staff were great an the reps were great too my little lad really enjoyed it as his first holiday i am defo booking for next year loved the foam partys an the entertainment at night was Brilliant.

Family of four with 2 young teens, stayed at Albir Garden on 20/8/24. Coach transfer about 90 minutes depending on stops, but mainly in Benidorm. Whilst the exterior on arrival was underwhelming the reception area is fresh, clean and welcoming. Having arrived just before midday after checking in went to the restaurant as rooms wouldn’t be ready until about 3, therefore worth packing your swimmers if you turn up early! The hotel has a main building and lots of small couple storey apartment blocks all over there resort. We stayed in the main building and apart from the restaurant preparing breakfast below we were not disturbed by any other noises. The staff were very helpful and could see the “site team” constantly clearing the grounds, emptying bins, cutting grass, moving deckchairs to ensure everyone had a tidy space to use at all times. The room was basic and could do with a revamp, but had a good size shower albeit pressure was poor, kitchenette and lounge area with dining table and the main bedroom with 2 decent sized beds, we of course also then used the pull out sofa, only down side was that air con only in the lounge and not the bedroom, our balcony view was of the shops opposite but still had space to relax if needed and an area to dry out towels/clothes. The swimming area is made up of three pools, infant pool which is about foot deep and had a small slide, ideal for those who can’t swim but want to splash around, this was also next to the small toilet block. The next pool was approx 1 metre deep all around so most people could stand up happily to play the variety of events throughout the day- aqua dance, volleyball, handball etc. also great for the little ones who can or are learning to swim- this pool did get very busy at times. The main pool starts at 1.56 metres but after a few steps quickly deepens in fact there were about 3-4 spot where I could stand otherwise you are permanently swimming/floating as at its deepest it is 2.7 metres. This meant a lot of people using floats to bob along as with the amount of people you were never going to do lengths of the pool, I managed this early in the morning then joined the float club rest of the day. There was at least 1 if not 2 lifeguards on duty at all times and here is the clincher- the pool is open until midnight when the entertainment finishes and the lifeguards are still on duty until then. The pool is served by 2 outlets, 1 is a traditional bar with all the spirits etc, but also has the slushy machine and the ice creams, a self serve cold water machine was also located here, the other outlet served just beer/sangria and the coke/fanta/sprite machine, here though was the main outside food which had watermelon, pastries, chips, burgers, hotdogs, pizza, waffles and toasties you could even take away a full pizza not just a slice. The sun beds are solid so no sitting position and not too comfortable (buy a cover mat at a local shop for about 7 euros) but there were beds stacked all day, I.

Generally a good experience but room for some improvement. Rooms are a good size but are showing their age with chips and nicks to furniture and peeling paint,beds comfortable,no extractor fan in bathroom which lead to sewage smells at times,good heating and air con,everything provided if self catering including filter coffee machine.we had a room in the main building facing the Irish tavern but no issues with noise We stayed AI and no complaints about food,always well cooked and warm and a very good selection,drinks range ok but could have done with cider as I don't really like lager. Cleanliness of rooms and public areas is good. In a good spot with plentiful bars shops and restaurants if you need them Issue cyclists riding through hotel grounds,not good when there are kids about and shouldn't be allowed There is a population of cats which we were feeding until the large lady behind reception told us of in front of other people (not good people skills ! ) if you don't want people feeding them put signs up stating that

Friendly staff, good breakfast buffet, comfortable room. The only negative is that the choice is between pool facing rooms (more expensive) and outside facing rooms (less expensive), but the real issue for us was rooms over the very loud disco area (up until 23:00) - thankfully they allowed us to change rooms and all was OK after that
