Great resort anytime of the year, plenty to do for everyone, either lively or laid back

Been to Benidorm on at least a dozen times and never get bored, both as a middle aged couple or with our grandchild (10yrs). Plenty of good standard apartments with air con available. Cheap budget airlines to Alicante, Murcia and Valencia all within a 35 - 80 minute drive of Benidorm. Family entertainment second to none with Aquapark, Terra Mitica theme park with all the roller coasters water rides etc. and Nature parks and dolphin shows at mundomar. Two huge beaches with all the promenade cafe-bars, restaurants and beach shops etc, and smaller cove beach at La Cala. Huge amount of Spanish, British restaurants and family entertainment at the Levante end of Benidorm, also a lot of adult entertainment in the form of disco bars, Cabaret and comic shows and unfortunately strippers in some venues, usually after 10pm, but are well advertised outside so you can avoid easily. If you are looking for everything in the one resort then you will not be dissapointed, have it quiet or extremely lively its your choice

Great for: Beaches, Theatre/Music, Nightlife, Budget Travel, Family Holidays

Pearl of Spain

In Europe, just Moscow and London offer more hotels' beds than Benidorm. Can you believe it? It says how Benidorm is popular in Europe. 300.000 beds in all (200+) hotels. Great Terra Mitica park is there (better than Disneyland). Check it if you don't believe.
