Just got back this morning from a week at The Magic Rock Gardens.
Transfer bus dropped us off outside Burger King so we had to get all our cases and prams up a near vertical hill!

Other people might say it's fine but to someone like me with severe back issues it was just horrific and I had to get a taxi back every time we went out.

Lovely clean hotel with amazing kind staff but loads of marble slippery steps due to hotel being so high up the hill.

Rooms brilliant with 2 large beds and food in restaurant very varied and delicious! Really good value for money hotel.

Hotel bit too far out and high up for us to return but the staff went above and beyond when one of our mobile phone got taken off a table in reception but unfortunately never got it back which also marred our experience.

Stayed in this Hotel 3 times, and loved it.
The Hotel provided our transfers each time and dropped us off at the front of hotel.
Yes the hill is a bit steep, but this is not the fault of the hotel.

We stayed there beginning of May, transfer coach (Jet2) dropped us off, and picked us up again, at the bus stop about 20 metres from the hotel! The hill is fairly steep, but we managed ok, not so good if you have mobility issues.

We are here now, it's bloody awful, food is shocking, snack bar not to bad....pool and sun beds currently in the shade, pool is freezing so not really used.....rooms are OK.

Lifts constantly breaking down trapping people inside.

Place is very clean and some staff are fab!

It's on a cardiac hill which is a killer, god knows how people with limited walking or with prams manage as I dragged my trunk up there nearly on my knees.

We were lucky our transfer dropped us at the hotel but a lot are dropped at the bottom of the hill.

If your British your smoking area is out near the staff service/delivery entrance and that's it.

Plus side beach is bottom of the hill and you have lots of lovely restaurants. Despite the hotel we have loved Benidorm and will be back just not to this hotel.

Lucy Capps

Fantastic hotel. Rooms lovely and food great. Lovely pool with huge screen playing music and pool bar. Lots of slides for kids. Entertainment was in diff parts of hotel in evening catering for Spanish n English. Staff are lovely. There is a hill they call cardiac hill but it was not that bad tbh. Very close to beach
Great location. Hotel interior lovely like caves
Lots of nooks n crannies to explore.
Hot tub area down beside pool and roof terrace is stunning with hot tubs etc

Donna Cassidy
Brilliant hotel worth the hill.

Vicky Williams
Been to rock Gardens fab hotel worth the walk up the hill

Caravan Salvage
Yes its up a very steep hill but fantastic hotel, there are plenty of spots in the shade round pool but all depends time of year your going the roof terrace has sun all day.

Bbillyy Young
The hill is not that bad, great location, food ,etc, but no balcony and pools in shade from about 3 '0' clock which was a bit of a downer.

Lisa Parker
Steep hill with a wheelchair not fun
No balcony lack of sunshine never again for our family.

Ronnie Scott
The hill, no balconies, and lack of sun around the pools, puts me off. Not for you if you have walking difficulties.

Tracey Fountain
Absolutely the worst place at top of steep hill which coaches do not like driving up too....worst food and nasty dated place....Great for kids who love to swim and use slides all day but if you are a couple do a wide birth on this

We didn’t think the hill was particularly steep. And the ‘lack of sun’ in the pool area is rather exaggerated. We enjoyed the hotel.

hotel is tired and in need of an update. Family rooms are cramped with camp beds squeezed in. Main areas of hotel we found were not kept very clean. The pol area is far too small and over crowed with very little sun. The adult inly roof sun terrace was great but no good if you have kids with you. Food was OK. Bar areas were filthy. Would not stay here again. Too expensive for what is a poor hotel in a poor location for the sun.

The hill can be a little tiresome, but not as bad as people say. I would take the next hill around the corner as it is not so steep.

We took our 15 yr old and 11 year old. Our youngest moans about walking up hills, just generally anything that requires him to move his feet, but even he didn't moan about the hill. We couldn't do it all in 1 go, but we started off at the bottom, kind of stopped at the second lamp post half way up for a minute then carried on.

It is a wonderful hotel with wonderful staff who cannot do enough for you. Very clean hotel and the maids do a fab job. We left her a nice tip when we was there a few weeks ago.

This hotel is 4 minutes walk from the beach. Magic Aqua Rock Gardens is the perfect place for a fun-filled holiday in the sun in Benidorm. It is a 2-minute walk from the beach, and set in tranquil surroundings, just outside the city centre.

Magic Aqua Rock Gardens is located only 150 m from Levante beach, where you can spend the day soaking up the sun and relaxing on the fine sands.

Unwind by the complex’s swimming pool during the day, read a book on the sun loungers surrounding the pool, or enjoy a sleep in the shade. You can then take a dip in the pool to cool off in the hot midday temperatures. Water slides and a hot tub, are available in the summer months.

Ideal for families, the Magic Aqua Rock Gardens is equipped with a children’s play area and an entertainment programme, suitable for both adults and children.

Just returned from a fab break at this hotel. It was fantastic for a family friendly holiday with great kids entertainment, animation staff and kids club. Coupled with the fabulous adults only rooftop bar and branded spirits on all inclusive there really was something for everyone. Food was good and kids very happy with ice creams and slushies whenever they fancied. We had a double family room which has no balcony which might not suit everyone but with little ones it actually suited us. The hill really was no problem and we were up and down it a couple of times a day without issue.
