Of course we hope that it will not happen, but it could of course be that the apartment is not completely to your liking or the trip does not go as planned. We recommend that you always report complaints about the apartment directly to our reception on site, so that a solution can be found in consultation. If our employees in Spain have not been able to resolve the complaint to your satisfaction, you can then contact us or send an e-mail to: info@gemelos22.es

Are dogs allowed in the apartments?

We have a few apartments available where staying with a dog is allowed. These apartments are located on the 2nd and 9th floors of both towers of Gemelos 22. We charge €50 for the dog.

Since only certain apartments are allowed to stay with a dog, you must inform us immediately while booking the apartment. If you pass on this information after booking, we will have to charge €35 extra for the change of the booking. 

Only small dogs with a maximum height of 45 cm at the withers are allowed. Larger dogs may be refused, as well as cats and other animals. We would like to point out that it is not allowed to walk the dogs in the garden. No dogs are allowed around the pool. Your dog must always be on a leash on the grounds of Gemelos 22.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

We ask for a deposit of € 150 per apartment at check-in. If you leave the apartment at check-out in the condition it was in when you checked in, you will receive the deposit back. You can pay the deposit in cash or by bank/credit card.

I come by car; do I need an environmental vignette for Benidorm?

Since January 2023, an environmental zone has been established in Spain in all municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants. This also applies to Benidorm. The environmental zones are indicated by a sign with the environmental stickers of the vehicles that are allowed to enter the relevant environmental zone. The environmental vignettes have not yet been checked for 2023. From January 1, 2024, all cities will be legally required to do this and you risk high fines if you enter the environmental zone without a vignette.

For vehicles with a Spanish license plate, environmental vignettes are available at the Spanish post offices. The vignette is not yet available for foreign vehicles. However, a Danish, French, German or Austrian environmental sticker is also valid in Spain. If you do not yet have an environmental vignette, please purchase the French Crit'Air vignette in good time (delivery time approximately 10 days). If you are in Spain and you do not have a valid sticker, park outside the city.

The only vehicles allowed to enter the low-emission zones and which are so indicated on the new signage of the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) are:

  • Blue – 0: zero-emission vehicle such as electric and gas-powered vehicles.
  • Blue-green – ECO: hybrid and gas-powered vehicles that meet the criteria of the green sticker.
  • Green – C: petrol cars registered in 2006 or later; diesel cars registered in 2014 or later; vehicles with more than 8 seats and heavy vehicles, both petrol and diesel, registered in 2014 or later.

For more information, we kindly refer to the information of the Spanish Government.

 

Reservations

How can I make a reservation?

You can easily make a booking for an apartment at Siroco-Gemelos 22 through our website. In addition to the apartment, you can directly book various extras and put together the desired package yourself. When booking you also have the option to indicate certain preferences with regard to the different apartments. Additional costs may be associated with this. If this is the case, this will be indicated immediately when booking.

Please note that a booking via our website is always on request in the first instance. The final booking will only be made after receipt of confirmation from our booking office.

If you have any questions, you can of course always contact us; by phone at +34 966 889 181 or by email at info@gemelos22.es.

Can I also book by phone?

Yes, that's possible. We can be reached by phone between 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM on  +34 966 864 690 (ES). We are not available by phone on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Can I already make a reservation for next year?

Yes, you can also book for next year. You can do this easily via our website or by contacting us on +34 966 889 181 or info@gemelos22.es.

What is the difference between essence and preference?

A preference is a preference that you can specify when booking. We will try to take these preference(s) into account as much as possible. However, you cannot derive any rights from this.

If a special preference is so important that you want to be sure that we can meet this preference, then you should book an essence. Additional costs are associated with an essence (€ 35,- per essence). In the unlikely event that we are unable to meet the essentials after booking an essence, we will always contact you to discuss what you want to do with the booking. You will of course always receive the costs of the essentials back if we are unable to grant them.

What is included in my reservation?

You can largely determine yourself what is included in your booking. You can optionally book various extras next to the apartment. All extras that you book are stated on the confirmation and invoice that you receive from us after booking.

In any case, when booking an apartment, Wi-Fi, satellite TV, air conditioning, cleaning, towels and bed linen are included as standard in addition to the stay, unless stated otherwise.

Can I indicate a preference for my apartment?

When booking, you can indicate a preference for tower 1 or tower 2 of the Gemelos 22. These are both located on the complex. Our reception is located in tower 1. In addition to a preference for the tower, you can indicate a preference in terms of floor: low, medium or high. We will always try to take your preference(s) into account in the layout. However, we can never guarantee this 100%. In consultation we will always look for an apartment that suits you best.

If your preferences are so important that the trip can only take place if we meet your specific wishes, you can book an essence. Additional costs are associated with an essence. 

How can I change or cancel a booking?

If you want to change or cancel an existing booking, you can contact us by phone or send an e-mail to info@gemelos22.es, stating your booking number.

Please note that change and/or cancellation fees may apply.
