"Just returned from 4 nights staying at the Hotel Calypso .
Our room was on the ninth floor which was fine as there were enough lifts and we never had to wait long for one to get to us . the room was spotlessly clean ,it had a small balcony complete with table and chairs and a small clothes airer ,there was a tv in the room which had ITV and a couple of other english channels , the air conditioning was excellent ,kept us nice and cool during the hot nights , there was also a small fridge which came in handy for storing small bottles of drink .Nice bathroom with plenty of hot water and the shower worked well.rooms were cleaned daily and fresh towels supplied daily .
The food was of good quality ,we found it to be hot enough and plenty of choice ,there were a lot of fish dishes but then there was also a couple of meat dishes as well to compensate , soups ,stews and also a nice salad bar ,you would have to be very fussy to not find something you liked ,we found that the lunch buffet was possibly even better choice than the evening buffet , there was always a '' theme food '' of the day which was posted at the entrance to the dining room .The dining staff were very friendly and if you didnt finish your wine they would keep it for you till the next meal ,a very good idea as my bottle of wine lasted me the whole stay .The puddings were to die for ,loads of selection , from cakes to pastries to bread and butter pudding and baked fruit ,jelly ,fresh fruit ,you name it they had it plus two choices of ice cream from a machine where you help yourself ,pure heaven .
We couldnt fault the hotel , we didnt stay in for the evening entertainment as it was geared more towards the very mature guest ,a lot of ballroom type dancing ,that sort of thing ,no disco music there , but Benidorm has so much entertainment going on we were quite happy to toddle off and sample the Benidorm nightlife .
All in all we had a lovely time and another great holiday from Travel Republic , we would definately recommend the Hotel Calypso ,just dont expect the hotel to be buzzing as this is a relaxing Hotel .If we went back to Benidorm we would definately go back to the Calypsoand we would definately use Travel Republic ."

"good hotel, room was a little bit noisey near the front of the hotel, better if you are in the annexe.good offer on drink 2x1, plenty of sunbeds, food is also good."

"I would like to thank steved1 (username on our site:- www.holidaytruths.co.uk) email steve@travelrepublic.co.uk for his help and assistance in a minor mistake I had made. Steve quickly assisted me with the problem.
Hotel was lovely. Food of an excellent standard. However definitely a hotel for the more mature guests. I don't think it would be fair to either age group for a lot of youngsters to stay here."


"Fantastic holiday, hotel fabulous and food wonderful;"

"The rooms were very basic, the bar waiting staff were not very sociable and at times quite abrupt, the entertainment was based around old people, it was a good 10 minute walk to the beach."

"nice hotel,would go back again."

"The Calypso hotel is great. This was our third visit to the hotel and once again we were not disapointed. The accomodation is clean and spacious, the food is lovely and the staff are helpful and friendly. With only a short walk to the beech and night life the Calypso is a great place to stay."

"This was the best hotel we have stayed in. The food was excellent lots of choice at every meal, the desserts were lovely, again loads to choose from.All the waiters in the resturant were friendly and always smiling. We had a large room with 3 beds overlooking the pool,you get a fridge free and also a flat screen tv.The room was kept really clean, and towels and sheets changed regular.The drinks are two for one all day every day, we always went out but for others who like to drink in the hotel it was a good offer.The hotel is five minutes from the beach, and all the caberat clubs are across the road,we will definetly be back to this hotel soon."

"Hotel was in a excellent position in benidorm ..food was excellent we were full board Hotel was more catered for older people because the entertainment was for a much older crowd.. I would go back to this Hotel cause of the position and the excellant food Staff were very friendly and the Hotel was spotless as well"

"A realy nice hotel,probably caters better for the more mature,
I rated this hotel highly"

"Everything was excellent, Food fantastic, there was nothing you could fault at this hotel."

"as i said on your rating form last year, this hotel, the Calypso, ticks all the boxes. we return here year after year,and would not go to any other hotel in Benidorm. There have been changes, some good, some not to my liking, but it is still " the best ""

"we had a fantastic time at this hotel,everyone was very friendly/helpful.the only downer was the caberet it was oldtime dancing every night,could have had more suitable caberet for the middle aged like myself"

"The hotel Calypso in Playa De Lavante was superb. The management and staff were so helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Lavante beach, which is just a short walk away from the hotel, is ideal for those who just want to relax and get themselves beautifully tanned. You can also mix in with the locals. For the ladies, it's a shoes and handbag heaven and the prices are very reasonable. The hotel has it's own entertainment. First you can dance to the resident D.J. then at 11 o'clock, there's a cabaret whether it be beautiful Flemenco dancers, or a demonstration of ballroom dancing. Entertainment around the hotel is rife. Enough to suit all ages. The food in the hotel is excellent, with many choices of menues. I can't praise this hotel enough. If you want a holiday you'll never forget, the Calypso,Playa De Lavante, Benidorm is for you."

"the 2for 1 offer on all drinks at the hotel bar was a real bonus decent teabags would have improved breakfast otherwise food 1st class"

"The Hotel Calypso is an excellent hotel .Everthing was to the highest standard from the rooms to the food to the pool area. All the staff very friendly and helpful. The 2 for 1 drinks promotion is great, made the holiday even better ! Only complaint I have is with the transfer service provided by Resorthoppa who informed me that I would not have to worry about telephoning to confirm my pick up at the hotel as this would be shown on the Reception noticeboard. this did not happen and I had to ring around at the last minute to confirm my pick up time . Overall a very enjoyable stay in a very nice hotel."

"Good hotel, clean & food good.
Very central near bear, shops, restaureants & bars."

"Very centrally located for all amenities.
clean & good food."

"We had a great time it is a realy nice hotel."

"oNCE AGAIN ANOTHER FANTASTIC HOLIDAY AT THE CALYPSO HOTEL BENIDORM. FROM FLIGHTS TO HOTEL AND TRANSFERS EVERYTHING WAS SPOT ON AGAIN .WOULD RETURN TO THIS HOTEL WITH NO WORRIES .PRICES OUT AND ABOUT FOR A PINT WAS 1 EURO TO 150 CANT COMPLAIN .CABARET BARS A BIT DEARER BUTLOVED IT"

"Although the meals were very good ,there were a lot of fish courses,having said that there was still plenty of choice.The only complaint I have is that the swimming pool was too small and totally unsuitable for the older guest who were predominant in the hotel"

"Everything was excellent..except the beds... for us anyway..the 2 x 1 drinks is great...hope they keep that going!!"

"food was excellent as was the cleanliness. bar prices were good too 2 for 1 offer."

"Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Calypso.
Food was excellent. Staff are very friendly. Rooms are a bit small but adequate. The
fridge in the room was great. Clientele does tend to be a bit older although younger visitors no doubt would appreciate the proximity to the night life.
I would definitely go back."


"we had a fab time we have satyed in the calypso many times and are hoping to go back next year"

"Excellent hotel well above 3* expectations, central location, superb rooms, complete with small fridge, buffet style meals with excellent choice, friendly staff throughout.
Only downside was the food could have been warmer."

"A very friendly hotel. Very helpful staff at reception, bar, dining room.
Very good food.
Particularly popular with retired people."

"We stayed 3 nights rooms slightly on the small side but no problem for 3 nights.
Very clean and very good food especially the breakfast.
Close to lots of bars and entertainment so would definately stay at the Calypso again."

"HAD WONDERFUL HOLIDAY AT THIS EXCELLENT HOTEL. LOVELY ROOM AND GOOD FOOD. WEATHER FANTASTIC SO ONE OF BEST HOLIDAYS YET, FRIDGE IN ROOM WHICH WAS VERY HANDY AND ALSO TV WITH ENGLISH CHANNELS."

"i ncan highly recomend the calypso hotel in benedorm,very clean and modern and nce food"

"8 out of 10"

"Great place, been back many times. Difficult to find fault - staff are very good and cannot do enough for you, food is great and everything is always clean and tidy. OK the rooms are a little on the small and basic side but they ok. Thankfully no kids or drunken yobs during early or late season when we have visited!!!!"

"The rooms were very light, clean and airy. Excellant service in the dinig room with good choice of food. Staff very friendly. Evening entertainment good. Linen changed almost every day. The request we submitted to Travel republic regarding our room choice was granted spot on with the the right floor and its situation. Well done to Travel Republic."

"Having stayed in twelve hotels in the area in the past five years i can only applaud this hotel as the best that we have stay in. the only minus side of the hotel if you can call it one, is the noisy plumbing."

"Was very happy with the hotel. The male receptionist/manager gave us an excellent room with views over the water. Food was good but not enought european food. As usual there were a lot of fish dishes. They had fish and chips in breadcrumbs but the crumbs were very soft. Overall the food was excellent. Maid service was very good although we kept our room ourselves in a clean order."

"Excellent hotel in very good state of repair having recently been refurbished. Restaurant excellent offering a wide choice of varied food. Staff in restaurant particularly good and helpful."

"One of the best hotels in Benidorm.Rooms have recently been refurbished with a flat screen T.V on the wall,lots of channels to choose from including ITV.Mini fridges are ideal with enough space for bottels of pop and water.Meals were plenty to choose from and staff were very pleasent.Iwould defintely return to this hotel as we could not fault it at all."

"very clean hotel food very good"


"we stayed at the calypso hotel in benidorm in december 2008. the hotel was excelent, we had full board and the meals were great, there was something for everyone. hotel staff were all very friendly and our room was spotless, cleaned daily with fresh towells.the calypso is centrally located very close to the beach, bars, clubs and restaurants. the hotel entertainment is more catered for older peopole but because of the location, this didnt matter to us at all. all in all i would highly recomend this hotel and we will definately stay there again."

"nice hotel in the heart of lavante area good food and very clean maids in every day to clean and change towels etc reception staff quick and efficent we booked our hotel
and transfers once again with travelrepublic and as usual all went smooth with no problems at all this is holiday number ten with this company and they are unbeatable
thanks very much tr untill next time all the best"

"For a 3* hotel the Calypso was quite smart, clean and stylish.
Food was good and varied in choice.
Evening entertainment was very much ballroom and latin dancing. Many guests had obviously gone to the hotel expecting this and there were quite a few "posh frocks". It was very much middle aged and older couples.
Drink prices were quite low for a hotel being only a little higher than surrounding bars."

"the rooms were nice and clean, cleaned every day
the resteraunt was clean, plenty choice of food
good quailty quicene done to perfection
bar prices reasonable, on par with local bars
overall a very nice pleasent hotel friendly staff well recomender"

"the rooms the food the staff & cleanliness all excellent"

"Thought the entertainment poor viewing was restricted."


"This hotel has recently been refurbished to a very high standard. Its position for both the beach and the nightlife is perfect. Meals although not superb they are more than adequate. We travelled in October and the majority of the guests were elderly people . Do not let this put you off staying here as I have previously stated you are very close to the livlier side of Benidorm. My wife and I found this hotel so good that when we return to Benidorm I do not think we will stay in any other hotel. There are about 6 or 7 hotels in the Servigroup chain dotted across Benidorm . We visited 2 or 3 and all of them look to be very nice as well. I would rate this hotel as 9 out of 10 . Excellent."

"i could not fault it and will be going back in april"

"A superb hotel !! Hotel and rooms spotlessly clean, with cleaners working 24 hours round the clock every day. Food out of this world, with a huge choice. You wont find better in Benidorm. Staff very friendly and helpful, always got a smile for you. Entertainment O.K. if you like ballroom dancing, but step outside the hotel and the clubs and bars are on your doorstep. Rooms very comfortable with flat screen T.V. with ENGLISH channels, air con. etc. If you are over forty and want a great hotel, quiet and peaceful, this is the place."

"Excellent food, good variety. Staff in the dining and bar areas friendly and helpful, reception staff a bit cool."

"I have stayed in the five times as it is a good hotel and in a good location"


"have stayed in the Calypso many times. Find it second to none. everyone in the hotel, with the notable exception of Miguel at reception ( who is offensive and nasty ),ALL the others are helpful and extremely friendly. the rooms are done properly every day !! ,the food is quite exceptional and plentiful !! the hotel is situated in an ideal position for almost everything that Benidorm has to offer. Have aready booked nine of us into the Calypso for two weeks next May again through Travel Republic Would not consider any other hotel in this resort."

"Breakfast finished to early at 9.45 am. This meant everyone tended to go down at the same time making it over congested. The time should be put back to 10.30am to make breakfast a pleasant experience. Otherwise we were very pleased with the hotel."

"Very good hotel with excellent food and rooms kept very clean.
The only poor comment i could make is that the pool area could do with a bit more cleaning up due to cigarette stubs left lying around by people who coud not be bothered to get an ashtray."

"hotel calypso was excellent was very clean, every where was spotless we had a great room which had clean towels and bedding every day. the food was excellent with a great choice of food to suit everyone, the staff were fantastic we had a fantastic time at this hotel the best hotel we have stopped in at Benidorm."

"Hotel excellent with good choice of food .
Downside was there was no snackbar though we were full board so didn't mind too much.
Plenty of sunbeds and nice pool area .
Asked for room with pool view and not too high .....got exactly what asked for .
Beware the luggage weigh machine in hotel luggage room was 2 kilos out with both me and my partners case . We were bringing cigarrettes back and knew weight of them and case before going ....machine gave false reading and we dumped a little stuff :-("

"Best Hotel in the levante area, staff fantastic
very very friendly, rooms modern and clean, could not fault this hotel at all.
FOOD EXCELLENT"

"exellent hotel, friendly staff, rooms good we were on the back of annex wich was quite at night times. couldnt fault food neitha and im a parky eater! def would go back."

"we were a group of ten girlies aged from 18-70 we all had brilliant holiday, food was exellent hotel couldnt fault near to everthing beach shops bars. would def go back"

"The hotel has recently been refurbished to a high standard, The rooms have plasma screen tv's on the wall which have a number of English channels including BBC and ITV Granada which is great especially if you are from the North West of England!! You can watch your favourite soaps whilst getting ready to go out!! The food especially catered for British clients and the breakfasts are superb. The first Spanish hotel i've stayed in that has black pudding on the menu. The hotel is clean and modern and central to the vast array of bars and restaurants and only a 3 minute walk to the beach. There are lifts for the elderly so they dont have to walk the stairs to the pool and there is also a bright clean smoking room for smokers so they dont have to stand outside but it is so nice & clean that you dont want to smoke in there because it would be a shame to spoil such a lovely room!! I would throughly recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely booking with Travel Republic again to stay at the Calypso"


"we had a fantastic stay. All the staff made us feel very welcome. being a hen party we were a bit noisy at times but no one seemed phased by it at all!!"

"Excellent hotel with very good food and helpful staff.
Good central location close to all entertainment."

"I went on holiday with my mum and sister and we stayed at the Hotel Calypso it has just been renovated and the hotel was very good the staff, food and the location was excellent for a three star hotel and I would go back, I would highly recommend it."

"hotel rooms now have mini fridges and flat screen tvs"

"Real good hotel for only being 3*. Food and location was excellent.
The rooms were small but you don't spend much time in the room so it didn'tmatter."

"Repair work was being carried out which created some noise. Apart from that this hotel was good value for money, clean and the food good. Would be happy to return.
Entertainment was mostly ballroom dancing, however clubs and bars are only a few minutes walk away. Very central position."

"excellent hotel, food, rooms and staff all brilliant, will definitely go their again."

"We were delighted with the Calypso. We were comfortable and the food and service were excellent."


"excellent hotel very friendly and helpful staff. food lovely"

"nice hotel, good location, lovely food"

"We were a bit disapointed with hotel food wasent very nice at the evening meal also staff were quite rude and abrupt also when i made the booking i had to ring up as my computer wouldnt let me on the lady i spoke to was quite rude and i asked for half board witch we always do and when we got to hotel to rooms were half board and one bed and breakfast witch was wrong hence we had to pay for the evening meal as you can see by the times ibook with you iwouldnt book one bb ihope you will take my comments on board mrs c banks and mrs m galligan"

"Everything about the hotel (Calypso) was excellent but special mention must be made regarding the restaurant - this was superb both for quality and choice of dishes."

"Very nice hotel. Security first class"

"very clean hotel would use again"

"Stayed at Calypso Hotel many times before which we enjoyed and was not disappionted this time.Everything was just great, will definitely go back."

"excellent hotel and large choice in restaurant for meals well impressed"

"Food not as good as it was on our last stay there,otherwise very good."

"The Hotel location was good,however the food was very dissapointing. Having stayed in other Servigroup Hotels it was well below the standard we expected.
The dining room was very crowded and disorganised,how the staff coped was a mystery.We would not stay at this Hotel again!"

"we had a great time in this hotel and are planning to go back in a few week!"



"we had a really lovely time the staff were helpfull and the hotel was really clean the food was also good"

"Smoking area terrible compared to other hotels. Pool area very old fashioned!"

"The room smelt of really bad sewerage"

"the hotel was very clean rooms and towels were changed every day. Food was abit repetative but was alright. We stayed at the front of teh hotel where the air conditioning didnt work to good the room got the sun and as it was nearly 40 degrees it wasnt as good as my sister in laws room which was like ice as she was in the shade...so if your going when it is hot try and get a room away from the front also if you are an early bird pubs dont close till 4.30am and you can hear everything from the front of the hotel. I would go here again though but in a different room"

"Hotel was pleasant and clean, only complaint was the hot food when it was slopped on the plate."

"Nice clean hotel but found room quite small compared to other hotels we have stayed at in Benidorm and the bathroom had no air conditioning or extractor fan, making it uncomfortablely hot when taking a shower.
Food was plentiful with a good choice each day.
I dont think I would stay there again, only because of the room size making us seem cramped for space."

"i stayed here for a week and the hotel was excellent, we was in the 2nd building on ground floor pool view, food was ok could been better but still plenty choice from and laods icecream and sweets."



"It was very clean, the service, reception etc. were very helpful, although when we went it was mainly full of people over the age of 60"

"CLEAN,WELL RUN, WOULD RECOMMEND HOTEL"

"hotel was very good,staff very friendly and helpfull.nice and clean.food was very nice and plenty of choice.
will come back."

"The only reservation would be that the food was less than appertising and difficult to match the English pallete!"

"we could not find any fault at all about the hotel. Travel republic were first class, the transfer that they arranged was spot on everyone was very polite and friendly. We would definitley use them again and would recommend them to anybody."
