Port Benidorm Hotel and Spa is a larger resort hotel that suits travellers who want facilities as well as a beach. It is marketed as a four-star-plus property and offers a spa, pools, restaurants and entertainment, with rooms designed for comfort and views. Benidorm is a resort city that does large hotels well, and this one provides the full package: breakfast buffets, a bar with a terrace and activities in season. Its position in the resort puts the sea and the main promenade within reach, and the old town and nightlife are a short ride away. It is a good fit for couples, groups of friends and families who want a day at the pool and the option to go out in the evening. The spa adds an extra reason to stay in cooler months. A stay here makes it easy to visit Terra Natura, Terra Mitica and Aqualandia, as the theme parks are a short drive from the resort.
The strength of a large resort hotel is convenience. Everything is under one roof, from dining and drinks to a pool and spa. Children's facilities may include a pool area and entertainment, depending on the season. Check the room types, as sea-view rooms and family rooms are priced differently, and ask about half-board packages if you plan to eat most meals at the hotel.
Beyond the hotel, Benidorm offers a lot. The beach promenades are lively, the old town is charming, and the Balcon del Mediterraneo is a classic viewpoint. Boat trips to the island and snorkelling excursions leave from the harbour. Day trips by coach or car reach Guadalest, Altea, Calpe and even Alicante, and the tram provides a simple link along the coast.
Planning
Summer is hot and busy, with the best beach conditions from June to September. Spring and autumn are warm and calmer, and winter suits long stays. Reserve early for August and school holidays. Ask about parking if you arrive by car, and about shuttle services to the parks. If you prefer a quieter, adults-only atmosphere, look at the adults-only hotels in the resort. For a classic Benidorm holiday with a spa and good facilities, this hotel fits well.
Large hotels can feel busy in peak weeks, so ask for a quiet floor and reserve pool loungers early if that is important to you. Many guests use the hotel as a base for the theme parks, so ask the reception about timetables and tickets. Check whether the spa requires an age limit or a booked slot.
