Hotel Sol Pelicanos/Ocas

in Benidorm , Costa Blanca T rating: 3

 
  • 3 swimming pools
  • Pool bar in high season
  • Entertainment
With a choice of pools and a prime time slot on ITV, the Pelicanos/Ocas makes for a great getaway.
Much of the TV comedy series, Benidorm, is filmed at these sister hotels. Complete with a tropical pool, activities pool, 2 children's 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, playground and children's climbing wall, it’s a great base for families. Adults, meanwhile, get their pick of pool games. Come sundown, 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.

Your guide to Benidorm, Costa Blanca

"Benidorm sprawls happily up the hills and off into the horizon. Developed from a tiny fishing village, it is now one of the cleanest and most popular resorts in the Mediterranean."

To all intents and purposes, Benidorm is the Costa Blanca. Tucked up against a duo of beaches, its modern skyline has something almost Manhattan-esque about it. But that’s only part of the picture, as the 1.3 million Brits who holiday here every year will tell you. In fact, the city has two very different faces. On the one hand, it's the undisputed capital of happy hour bars, roast dinners and neon discos. And on the other, its all cobbled streets, dinky white houses and tapas bars.

Of course, the beaches are the big draw, though. The pale golden sands here not only boast Blue Flag status, they’re rated among Europe’s best. They’ve got first-class facilities, too. The promenade runs the full length, and with multi-coloured decking in a funky wave-like formation, it adds a touch of style to Benidorm. There are also cafés, bars and restaurants, and even a beach library.

Away from the sands, the shopping scene caters for all tastes, particularly in the old town. You’ll find shops of every kind, from traditional delis to boutiques selling designer togs. Check out the El Cisne Market, too. Held every weekend, it’s stacked with antiques. On the food front, expect things like vindaloo, chop suey, bacon and eggs - you name it, it’s probably on the menu. For a taste of Spain though, it has to be Santo Domingo Street in the old town, otherwise known as Tapas Alley. It seems like every Spaniard under the sun gathers here to graze on big juicy olives and jamon Serrano.

Last but not least, families shouldn’t miss Benidorm’s four big theme parks. Aqualandia waterpark always hits the mark with slides like Niagara and the Big Bang. And Terra Mitica theme park is just as action-packed with white-knuckle rides that guarantee screams. Or spend a day at one of the animal parks.

We had a lovely stay at the Sol Pelicanos. The rooms were spotless and roomy, if a bit dated. Staff always friendly and helpful. The weather was fabulous for January, around 18-20 degrees, warm and sunny. The hotel is ideally situated, close to the... more on this review
