Hotel Sol Pelicanos/Ocas

An introduction to Hotel Sol Pelicanos/Ocas

Much of the TV comedy series, Benidorm, is filmed at these sister hotels. Complete with five swimming pools, three whirlpool baths and plenty of evening entertainment, it’s no wonder this place caught the location scout’s eye.
And because it’s effectively two hotels in one, you get double the benefits. The restaurants, snack and pool bars all come in pairs. Menu-wise, expect buffets piled high with Spanish dishes and international favourites, while light bites and drinks are served at the bars.

As for the looks side of things, the hotels are modern and fuss-free. Bedrooms are a good size and come decorated in a palette of cream and white with injections of colour from deep red furniture, and modern art prints. They all have satellite TVs, too.

There’s quite a lot on offer in terms of activities here, too. With two pools solely dedicated to kids, and a hotel-run kids’ club and playground, it’s a great base for families. Adults, meanwhile, get their pick of pool games, a climbing wall and rifle shooting. Come sundown, meanwhile, professional shows and live music take the spotlight.

Lastly, there’s the location. It’s right in the heart of New Benidorm, so shops, bars and restaurants are all within easy reach. Plus, sandy Levante Beach is less than a five-minute walk away.
