Compare Benidorm hotels

If you've decided that the beachfront is the place to be and you want to be in the thick of the action, you'll find dozens of large, high-rise Benidorm resorts along Playa Levante, close to the full throng of bars and clubs. Just remember to bring earplugs if you want a peaceful night's sleep!

If you want somewhere quieter to stay, though still on Benidorm beachfront, Playa Poniente is a safer bet.

If you'd prefer to stay in a smaller B&B or guesthouse, you'll find many of them clustered in Benidorm’s Old Town, where the nightlife continues to buzz. This charming maze of narrow streets sits on a rocky promontory between the two beaches, so be prepared for stunning sea views from your balcony.

Kids in tow? Fret not, there are many family hotels in Benidorm from which to choose – close to the sea, complete with wave pools, play areas and children's entertainment. You might recognise one hotel in particular: Hotel Sol Pelícanos Ocas of ITV's ‘Benidorm’ fame.

If the kids are most definitely not in tow and you and a special someone are yearning for a few days' pampering, go on, treat yourself to a stay in a luxury hotel. Did someone say spa? We're talking fluffy towels, scented oils and soaking so long in the Jacuzzi you’ll wrinkle like a prune!

You can find these four-star and five-star resorts in Benidorm itself or a couple of minutes’ drive out of the city, if you'd prefer something a bit more out of the way. It doesn't have to burn a hole in your wallet – some bargain spa package deals can be found, depending on the season.

If all that sounds just a bit too decadent for your tastes and your budget is a modest one, there’s a range of excellent cheap hotels in Benidorm, including money-saving all-inclusive Benidorm resorts.

There are perfectly decent one- to three-star Benidorm hotels dotted around the city, offering basic rooms and facilities, but still in the heart of the jumping action. You can snap up self-catering apartments for a snip, too, many of them with a swimming pool, balconies and sea views.
