Barceló la Nucía Hills Hotel in Benidorm

The room was superb and great for working a full day in. The WiFi didn't miss a beat even when using it for a TEAMS call.
Half board was incredible with excellent food quality and choice for breakfast and evening meal. We usually give a hotel evening meal a miss, but this hotel served up really well cooked food.
Drinks in the small bar were again excellent, my wife commented that she was drinking the best Sangria she has ever had, and she has tried a good few. €6.00 each for a hotel is very good value. They were good sized glasses as well.
Overall one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in Spain.
I must mention the beds are absolutely brilliant.

The only down part was the dinner. Way to greasy and not yummy at all.

This hotel boasts a high level of style and cleanliness. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and varied, and it's conveniently located just a five-minute walk from the nearest supermarket! If you enjoy a quiet Spanish vacation, this hotel would be perfect for a couple's weekend getaway! A special mention goes to the incredibly helpful reception staff who speak excellent English! I also highly recommend the spa at this five-star hotel!

Room, as usual, was lovely and comfortable. The staff always give us a lovely welcome and the breakfast bring di good

Very good hotel but disappointed in the food .. especially the ala carte

Great accommodation, excellent food, very good location!

I recently stayed at Barcelo La Nucia Hills for 5 nights in a suite, and while the price was very reasonable and the accommodation spacious and clean, I would rate this hotel as a solid 4-star, not a 5-star, especially when compared to my recent stays at Barcelo Tenerife and Barcelo Royal Hideaway Santa Catalina.
Positives:

The suite was large, clean, and well-equipped, with a comfortable bed, spacious bathroom, living area, and a kitchen which was ideal for traveling with a toddler.
Underground parking was easy to access and had plenty of space.
Staff were friendly and welcoming.
The hotel was quiet during the week, and the location, while remote, was convenient for visiting nearby towns like Altea, Guadalest, and Villajoyosa (all within a 20-minute drive).
The pool bar area was nicely designed and the overall cleanliness of the hotel was excellent.

Areas for Improvement:

Service at the pool bar was slow, especially early in the week. Guests were often left waiting with no staff in sight. This improved slightly by Friday as the hotel seemed busier.
Breakfast hot food was consistently cold, scrambled eggs, beans, etc. I just stuck with pastries and fruit in the end, as I didn't want to eat cold 'hot' food. They provide an omelette station but that was unmanned on 3 out of 5 mornings. I didn't want to have to hunt someone down to make me an omelette.
Gym facilities were basic, with limited equipment.
Pool temperature was extremely cold, even during a hot week (28°C). Probably the coldest pool I've experienced at a hotel.
Arrival experience lacked the expected 5-star touch, no assistance with luggage, which may be fine for some, but not typical of a 5-star standard.
The Barcelo Palms hotel was closed, possibly due to off-season.

Overall it's a really nice hotel and we were pleased with our stay, but if you are expecting a TRUE 5 star experience, it's not at that level.

Nice big room, nice pool area but opening times could be improved, specially the roof pool why is it closed on a Sunday.
Food breakfast and dinner very good range and quality. Shame that tea and coffee quality was poor. Also overpriced spa ! And parking. Was bit disappointing.
Overall we enjoyed our stay
