Review: The Royal Hotel (Hotel RH Royal), Benidorm

The Royal Hotel in Benidorm stands out as one of the resort’s most consistently praised adults‑only stays, a polished, friendly, and well‑run hotel that blends comfort, great food, and a genuinely warm atmosphere.

With a strong 4.6/5 rating across thousands of reviews, it’s widely considered one of Benidorm’s top mid‑to‑upper‑range hotels for couples, friends, and anyone seeking a calmer base close to the action.

Rooms & Comfort

Guests repeatedly highlight the recently renovated rooms, describing them as modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. Comfortable beds, good air‑conditioning, ceiling fans, quality toiletries, and small touches like wristband room access make the stay feel smooth and easy. Many rooms include balconies, and housekeeping earns high praise for consistency and friendliness.

Food & Dining

The buffet restaurant is one of the hotel’s biggest strengths. Reviewers mention excellent variety, themed nights, fresh seafood, live cooking stations, and attentive staff who remember dietary needs. Breakfast is well‑organized, and small details — like table‑tidy bins and high‑factor sun cream dispensers near the bar — make a surprisingly big difference.

Atmosphere & Entertainment

The Royal Hotel is adults‑only, so the vibe is relaxed but never dull. The entertainment team, especially the much‑praised David, is described as energetic, funny, and genuinely engaging without being pushy. Daytime activities, evening shows, and a sociable pool area help guests feel part of a friendly community. Many reviewers say the staff “made their holiday.”

Location

The hotel’s position is ideal:

6 minutes to Levante Beach

10 minutes to the Old Town

20–25 minutes to the market

It’s central yet quiet enough for restful nights, making it a great base for exploring both the lively and traditional sides of Benidorm.

Cleanliness & Service

Cleanliness is consistently rated as excellent, and staff across reception, dining, housekeeping, and entertainment are frequently described as “exceptional,” “welcoming,” and “always smiling.” Many guests return year after year because of the service alone.

Facilities

The pool area is pleasant, with plenty of loungers, a spa section, and an upper sunbathing deck. There’s also a small gym. While not a huge resort-style pool, it’s well‑kept and suits the hotel’s relaxed, adults‑only vibe.

Overall Verdict

The Royal Hotel (RH Royal) is one of Benidorm’s best adults‑only hotels, offering standout service, excellent food, spotless rooms, and a warm, sociable atmosphere. It’s perfect for couples or friends who want comfort and calm while staying close to the beach and Old Town. Not a party hotel — but a happy, friendly one where staff genuinely elevate the experience.
