Benidorm is a lovely city, about 45 km north of Alicante, in Spain. It is one of the most popular resort areas on the Mediterranean. It has mild weather, beautiful beaches, an active night life, and a modern look. During the summer it boasts over 1.5 million tourists from all over Europe, but particularly Britain. The hotels, apartment hotels, and rental apartments in Benidorm are varied and run from two star to four star with any type of accommodations you could wish for. From the Hotel Calypso, with its busy clubs and bars to the Benidorm Plaza with it tranquillity and peace, all you have to do is decide whether you are looking for an activity packed holiday or a restful, tan by the beach vacation.

There are three major beaches, Poniente, Levante, and Mal Pas. Levante is known for its sun beds, wide promenade, cafes and bars. There are rafts and diving boards anchored offshore. Because of limited parking, it is wise to walk, taxi, or bus to this beach. There are lifeguards and all kinds of water sports available. Poniente Beach is similar, but less crowded and generally quieter. Mal Pas is near the harbour, and is much smaller and more personal.

With over 1000 restaurants and 30 discos, you are bound to find the entertainment you are seeking while on vacation there. In addition, you can visit Aqualandia Water Park, the animal park at Terra Natura, And Terra Mitica, the theme park. Several top class golf courses are available.

The Mayra Holiday Apartments Levante Playa Resort is a good place for families or groups who are looking for clean, cheap apartment hotels. It is also recommended for stag and hen party weekends!

Opposite the Poniente Playa is the Mar Blau Hotel, which is considered to be one of the best 2 star hotels in the city. This is a mid-range hotel with a Spanish flavour, a minute from the beach and a few minutes from the old town shops. They also provide car rental.

The Rincon de Loix area is newer and a bit quieter than Levante, and seems to be favoured by many of the British. The Rialto Hotel is a 3 star, newly refurbished hotel that is near the waterparks and just minutes from the Levante beach. It is a very family-friendly hotel.
