Hotel Benidorm East**** by Pierre & Vacances

Hotel Highlights

• Indoor and outdoor pools to dive into (not literally) (unless you want to)

• FREE shuttle to Levante Beach, so you won't have to walk far with your massive inflatable

• Local bus stop on your doorstep, so getting out and about is a doddle

• Just a hop, skip and a jump away from Benidorm's buzzing nightlife

Just a heads up for the group bookers out there - this hotel doesn't accept stag/hen groups or other group parties, even if the bookings are made separately. Trust us, there are plenty of other places you can get your party on, but this hotel is pretty strict, so unless you want to pay a €300 per person deposit on arrival and risk your booking getting cancelled, we wouldn't recommend this one for any big, lively soirees.

Location

• 2.5km away from a sandy day at the nearest beach. Need a lift? They've got a free shuttle heading to Levante Beach – just keep an eye on the timetable.

• Flying into Alicante Airport? It’s a straight 61km jaunt to the hotel's doorstep.

Rooms

• Choose from the 289 oh-so-cozy Standard or Triple Rooms. Just FYI, the Triple Rooms have two double beds and are perfect for two adults and one kiddo, but they're a bit on the cramped side for three adults.

• Your room essentials? A bathroom, hairdryer, telephone, satellite TV (for all those soaps and sports!), minibar, air con, heating and a balcony where you can sip and gaze.

Food & Drink

• From quick coffee breaks to full-on feasts, we've got your back. Get your caffeine and snack fix at the coffee shop or soak in the sun at the poolside bar and garden terrace.

• Hungry for more? Head to the buffet restaurant, flaunting some fancy Spanish vibes. And those Christmas and New Year galas? They're mandatory if you're staying over the festive period – but trust us, you wouldn't want to miss out!

• Choose between Half Board or Full Board. With the latter, you'll feast on buffet meals and snacks – just keep in mind, drinks will have your wallet doing a bit of a workout. Check the timings, 'cause post-midnight snacks on your departure day will cost you extra.

Sports & Entertainment

• Think of the Hotel Benidorm East as your playland – heated pools (don't forget your swimming cap, it's the law... kind of), table tennis, pool tables, a fitness centre for those calorie drop sets, and even a sauna to steam off that stress.

• Entertainment's this hotel's middle name. Okay, not really, but from flamenco shows to daily activities, this place is all about keeping that holiday vibe high. And for all you winter guests, the heated pool and sauna won’t cost you an extra penny.

• Got kiddos? They'll be all smiles with the high-season activities.

Just a heads up, the location of this hotel is on the hilly side, so we don't recommend it for guests with walking difficulties.
