Hotel Diplomatic, Benidorm

Advantages: All Inclusive, Plenty Of Entertainment
Disadvantages: Lots Of Kids

...I recently stayed at the Flamingo Benidorm Hotel in Benidorm, Spain for 7 nights between the 17th and 24th October 2006. LOCATION The Hotel is located about 800 metres inland from Levante Beach, and about the same distance from the Old Town. It is set in one of the quieter parts of the resort on a slight incline. It is not to be confused with two other Hotels in Benidorm that have similar names; The Flamingo Oasis Benidorm and the Flamingo Aparthotel. The address of the hotel where I stayed is as below: Flamingo Benidorm C. Marbella, 2 03503 Benidorm Alicante Spain Tel. +34 96 586 53 53 Fax. +34 96 683 02 45 email: book.flamingobenidorm@marconfort.com THE EXTERIOR From the outside this Hotel does not look anything special. It is a tall building, as are almost all of the Hotels in Benidorm with 25... Read review

...shirt and it was about midnight. In those days to a child, Benidorm was a different world. Two weeks of swimming in an outdoor pool and just enjoying the weather at around 90 degrees F. Benidorm has always been noted for great weather as it is surrounded by mountains that tends to block the low clouds and create a sun trap on that part of the coast. Like anything else, the town has grown at an alarming rate, but the weather remains exactly the same. Dont get me wrong, it has rain, and when it rains it pours, but it lasts around a couple of hours and then its back to the good old sunshine. I have been around 20 times to Benidorm and stayed at different hotels in different parts of the town.The town is split into two halves as there are two beaches, Levante and Poniente. The Levante side of the town is the bussiest and where evryone... Read review

Advantages: Location in Rincon de Loix near Levante Beach
Disadvantages: Noise from surrounding bars - but that's Benidorm!

...The Riudor is one of those sort of "standard" Benidorm hotels. The Location is rather good, its listed as being on the Avenida Mediterraneo, but that's only the address, the swimming pool area fronts onto the Avenida, whilst the real entrance is towards the back of the hotel in a small passageway there. Drop off points from the airport will always end up here, as there is then only about twenty metres from the coach or taxi to the hotel front entrance. Local taxis will always drop here also, they know where the entrance is! Levante Beach is only a few minutes walk, and most rooms at the hotel have some sort of sea view through the buildings from each of the hotel balconies. Bus stops into the Old Town and out of Benidorm are about 120 mteres and 160 metres away, turn right out of the hotel down the passage to the Avenida... Read review
