“An Unforgettable Magical Birthday Getaway – A Paradise for Families!”

​Before booking, I’ll be honest: I read some negative reviews regarding the food, staff, and safety, and I felt quite anxious about our trip. I’m so glad we didn't let those influence our decision! My experience was a genuine 10/10, and I wanted to write this to reassure anyone else feeling hesitant: please, ignore the negativity. Everyone has a different experience, but ours was truly magical from start to finish. In fact, I almost want to keep this place a secret for ourselves! ​We stayed for 5 days for my son’s 4th birthday, and it was perfect. The location is ideal—less than an hour from the airport with a beautiful, scenic drive. ​The Resort & Room The resort was spotless. Our room worked well for our family of four (two adults, a 4-year-old, and a 14-month-old). Housekeeping was impeccable; we had fresh towels and bedding every day, and the fridge was consistently restocked. While a sponge and dish soap for the kitchen would have been handy, it was easy to grab them from a nearby vending machine. ​Entertainment & Amenities There was so much to do! The evening shows in the amphitheater were a highlight, especially the Disney night. Having access to the zoo just around the corner was fantastic—we loved that we could pop over as often as we liked. The water park was also a huge hit. While we weren't initially aware of which sunbeds were reserved for resort guests, the staff were happy to guide us. Even though our son wasn't tall enough for some of the bigger slides, we completely support their focus on safety, and there was so much else for him to enjoy that he never felt like he was missing out. ​The Incredible Staff What truly sets this resort apart is the people. We couldn't find a single fault with the service—everyone was kind, helpful, and went out of their way to make our children feel welcome. ​Adrian (Lifeguard): A huge thank you for giving my son so much confidence and keeping a smile on his face every single day. You were a true highlight of our trip! ​Sophia (Entertainment): You are an absolute asset to this resort. Your energy, professionalism, and kindness are world-class. Thank you for making my son’s 4th birthday so memorable with the balloons, certificate, and your genuine warmth. You have a real gift! ​Cristina (Buffet): Thank you for your constant smile. You made every dining experience feel so comfortable and welcoming. ​The Shop Staff: To the two wonderful ladies in the shop—thank you for your daily waves and for being so bubbly. The kids adored you! ​The Culinary Team: The food was fantastic. A special mention to the team who prepared the seafood paella in the themed restaurant—it was one of the best I have ever had! ​Final Thoughts We visited during a perfect time of year (arriving June 28th), which meant the resort felt calm and the weather was glorious. Everything was easy to navigate, poolside snacks were always available, and the drinks were great. We are already planning to return when our son is a little older. If you are looking for a relaxing, family-friendly resort where the staff truly cares, look no further. This place is a gem!

We've just got back from a fantastic holiday at magic pirate island resort. The staff were friendly and the resort was always clean and tidy. The entertainment is great and they work hard at what they do. Want to say a massive thank you to Danny, Chloe, Layla, Diego, James and Sophia. The pool areas are spotless. Never had any issues getting a sunbed at the main pool. The food was good and there was alot of variety. We can't wait to come again next year. Thank you for giving us such an incredible holiday. ❤️❤️

“Decent resort but could improve”

We stayed for a week at the end of May as a family of four, including a 9 and 7-year-old. Firstly, the resort was immaculate from what we saw. The cleaning staff did a great job with our room every day and the whole place was kept really clean. The pools were very good and our children loved them… lisää

We stayed for a week at the end of May as a family of four, including a 9 and 7-year-old. Firstly, the resort was immaculate from what we saw. The cleaning staff did a great job with our room every day and the whole place was kept really clean. The pools were very good and our children loved them. The water was a bit cold, but they didn’t seem to mind and really enjoyed the slides and splash areas. The snack bars by the pools were a bit of a nightmare. There are two queues – one for all-inclusive guests and one for premium guests – but generally only one member of staff serving both. You can end up waiting ages just for a drink. The staff at the pool bars also came across as quite rude at times and often seemed annoyed at having to serve people. You also can’t order food and drinks together, so after queuing for drinks you then have to join another long queue for food. My wife literally queued for 45 minutes just to get some drinks – I genuinely thought she’d got lost! The all-inclusive buffet restaurant was okay. Nothing special, but perfectly decent, and it was nice that you could help yourself to drinks. We didn’t go to the evening entertainment every night, but when we did it was good and the kids enjoyed it. The zoo was amazing and being able to visit as many times as you wanted with your wristbands was a great bonus. The water park was good too, although we only visited once. Overall, we had a really good time. Benidorm itself was great, and I’d definitely recommend visiting Altea, Guadalest and the Algar Waterfalls. We absolutely loved those trips. You can book an excursion that picks you up from a bus stop in Benidorm, around a 15-minute taxi ride from the hotel, which cost us about €20. The hotel could easily improve the pool bar experience by introducing self-service soft drinks, like we’ve seen at other all-inclusive hotels. That alone would make a big difference to the queues.
