Hotel Ambassador Playa 2
A beach-side spa hotel with a big review base, a short ride from the park
About this hotel
Hotel Ambassador Playa 2, the second in what its name suggests is a small local group of Ambassador-branded properties, carries 3,269 reviews behind an 8.8 rating, one of the larger samples on this page and a reasonably strong showing for a hotel not positioned specifically around Aqualandia. Its own listing leans on a spa and wellness area rather than proximity to the park, and it isn't tagged near-waterpark the way several hotels in this group are, which fits a name built around Playa, the beach, rather than Rincón de Loix. For a family, that most likely means a short taxi or bus ride to reach Aqualandia rather than a walk, balanced against being closer to Benidorm's beachfront and having spa access on site. It's a reasonable pick for a trip that mixes beach days with a visit or two to the water park, less so for a stay built entirely around walking to the slides every day.
- 8.8 rating from 3,269 reviews

- Short ride, not a walk, to Aqualandia
Our take
We'd suggest Ambassador Playa 2 to a family treating Aqualandia as part of a broader Benidorm trip rather than the entire point of it, the beach-side positioning implied by its name and the spa on site both point that way. An 8.8 across 3,269 reviews is a large, trustworthy sample. It isn't tagged near-waterpark, so factor in a short ride to the park rather than expecting to walk, and weigh that honestly against the beach and spa access this hotel is actually built around.
- ✓Book Ambassador Playa 2 if the beach matters as much as the water park, its name and listing both lean toward a seafront position.
- ✓Budget a short taxi or bus ride to Aqualandia rather than a walk, since this hotel isn't tagged near-waterpark like several others on this page.
- ✓With 3,269 reviews behind the 8.8, it's a well-tested option, ask about spa access when booking since that's the property's own stated strength.
Why we love it
- 3,269 reviews behind an 8.8, one of the larger, better-tested samples on this page.
- The property's own listing points to its spa and wellness area as the standout feature.

- Part of what its name suggests is a small local Ambassador hotel group.
Why guests love itWe split our week between the beach and Aqualandia, and Ambassador Playa 2 suited that plan better than a hotel glued to the park entrance would have. The spa in the evenings was a genuine highlight after long beach days, and with 3,269 reviews behind the rating we felt reassured before we even arrived. The trade-off was a short taxi ride on the two mornings we went to Aqualandia rather than walking, which we'd factor in again if planning was purely park-focused, but for our mixed trip it worked well.
