| said: I booked this apartment as it was the cheapest I could find. I then started to read the reports about it and was horrified about what people was saying. We was dreading it not knowing what to expect.
When we arrived the first impressions was were we in the right place, the gardens and outside of the building were absolutely gorgeous immaculate I would say.
The location is perfect not far from the beach close to all supermarkets and shops.
We ate out every night at the yorkshire pride which is just round the corner the food there is spot on and very cheap only costing us 40 euros for all 5 of us.
The staff are very pleasant.
The rooms are huge we had a 2 bedroom and also there is a washing machine in the room which is a huge bonus when you have children!
The only downside is when you arrive you have to ring a number for your key and the guy who answers does not speak a word of English luckily my sister speaks Spanish so we was fine.
There is a bar in the apartment which does a nice breakfast for 2.50 euros.
We paid 600 pound for 5 of us including flights and we had the best holiday ever I would definitely recommend these apartments you don't get maid service though but there is everything in the apartment for you to clean up yourself so that wasn't a problem.
I used to wash the towels every day in the washing machine provided so this did not bother me in the slightest.
Please do try these apartments you won't be disappointed.

| said: This was our first girlie holiday and all booked on the internet. The idea was to see how cheap we could travel for. We paid £30 each for a weeks accomodation at the Europa Centre Apartments. I had checked on other peoples feed back so I half knew what to expect.
We arrived by easyjet to Alicante airport (no problems with the flights)I has booked private transfers on the net. We were collected 5 min from landing and were on our way!
We arrived at the apartments and the road next to the aprtments was being worked on, so had to wheel our cases 300 yard to main entrance. The reception is small! But as we only had intentions of walking through it this was not a problem. There was always some one on duty there.(Always friendly) We asked for a low floor, we got the tenth. Not a problem once we realised, the lower down you are the noisier it became. The apartment it's self was great. Basic, clean and tidy. (What do you want for £30 a week.)
There wasn't enough hot water, but hey, the weather was great. (You can't have it all.)After talking to other people who stayed there for the same week, they had paid £265.00 for their week and were disapointed with the accomodation, we had paid £125.00 for the same week and were has happy as a pig in muck!!!!
These apartment were a short walk from the night life (6-8 minutes) but in a perfect location, as there was very little after hour noise, (the 10th floor again helped). Overall... Fantastic value for your money.

| said: Having read the review on this site from another guest, i was expecting the worst from this appartment. It wasn't as bad as i expected.Travelled with Cosmos June 03. Was the last drop off from the coach, so we was not impressed after driving around for an hour and half in boiling conditions. Still on arrival at Europa Center we were quite suprised. The building works were not really in our site as anticipated! What a relief!
We arrived in our reeption area but wasn't expecting it to be so small! My box bedroom wasn't much smaller! After requesting a low floor we were given 1st floor so were happy.
The children were able to go swimming by themselves and we coul see them. No coplaints there.
The appartments were basic, but after a long hot drive it was lovely to sit down and relax. It was within the next week we noticed problems.
Bathroom was terrible! The mixer on the shower wasn't able to give decent water, hot or cold i am afraid and sometimes burning hot! Broken tiles.The bidet leaked.Broken plug socket, stains in bath, stained and ripped towels and to top it off a very large area of damp over the bath. In fact all over the ceiling!
The rest of the appartment wasn't really that bad, appart from a few dodgy sockets and ciggarete burns in the seats.We were a a bit miffed at the fact that we had to rent a cot(travel cot that cost 40pound from the local Careflour Hypermarket!) for 3 euro a night! We also had to pay 1 euro 50 for rental of a sunbed!!! They don't state this in the brochure!
The rooms don't have any air conditioning. You can hire the fans but we didnt bother. You can buy comapct ones locally for half the price and you can keep them!
The food at these appartments were value for money. They do an English breakfast for about a pound. A pint costs around 2 euro which is around average.
The location is ideal for the beach, supermarket, family bars etc. The White Horse, Triangle pub and a few more are a 2 minute walk away. Burger King and Mcdonalds are a 5 minute walk away, they have regular offers on, so you won't go hungry!
Many places offer a two for one on drinks till 10pm and one place Costa Games II offers pints at 1 euro all the time, soft drinks 0.40 euro. Its a street behind the White Horse. The meals here are excellent too. Steak and chips with egg etc for about 3 pound.
If you want more night life then you'll have to head further into the square. It never ending here! Theres something for everybody here.
During the daytime head for the waterpark, we loved it! Taxi cost around 4 euros if you don't fancy the walk! Some of our party who were in another appartment went to Terra Micca but said it wasnt ideal for young children- below the age of 8 probably.
So as you can see, we didnt let our appartment ruin our holiday. I dont think i would go back to the Europa again. I think there are more appartments in Benidorm that give better value for money.

| said: Me and my children arrived at the appartment later than anyone else on our flight as it was the last stop for the coach.
The hotel cleanliness was up to our standards but it could have been better.The hotel location was brill as we had a sea view.
Hotel staff were friendly and polite and there was an 24 hour reception area.
The europa center had a medium size swimming pool open to 7pm.

The europa center is clean with a swimming pool and an 24 hour reception.It has 18 floors and we were lucky to get the middle floor so we had a great view of the beach.On each floor there is 4 rooms a,b,c,d we were in 9c.Every day someone brings you clean towels which was really handing.I THINK YOU SHOULD GO AND CHECK IT OUT!
