Located on the easternmost stretch of Benidorm's Levante Beach, Hotel Brisa is an upper-middle-range hotel offering solid value. The 70 rooms are pleasantly modern, with a bright-white color scheme accented by pops of royal blue, and many have lovely balconies overlooking the beach. Amenities include a restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating and both buffet and a la carte dining options, plus a reasonably well-equipped fitness center, a pool deck with room for sunbathing, and free hotel-wide Wi-Fi. Travelers looking for a mid-range hotel with more on-site activities (and more space) may want to consider a stay at the larger Flamingo Oasis instead.

Renovated in 2015, Flamingo Beach Resort is an upper-middle-range, all-inclusive hotel that's a 13-minute walk to Levante Beach. Open to adults 16 and older, the sleek and contemporary property has 126 rooms on 12 floors. Many rooms have views of its two pools, the city, and the mountains. Most of the rooms include modern kitchens, but guests complain about the lack of utensils and dishes. The restaurant, with a show kitchen, offers all-day dining and some alcohol, included in the room price. There are free dance, yoga, and Pilates classes, along with free bikes to borrow. Wi-Fi is also free. On the downside, Wi-Fi can be spotty and noise can be an issue. As an alternative, the nearby Marconfort Benidorm Suites offer similar rates, rooms, and pool, but without the all-inclusive meals, for those who want to explore restaurants.

With a hillside location outside the noisy town center, the mid-range Palm Beach Hotel has the benefit of being in a quiet neighborhood. Its 299 rooms are quite dated, but higher floors have nice views toward the Mediterranean from their private balconies. The property also shares services and amenities with the Don Jorge Apartamentos next door. Common areas are generally large enough to accommodate everyone, and there's plenty of lounge space around the outdoor pool and garden. Features include a buffet restaurant and a bar with a Hawaiian theme, along with kid-friendly facilities like a game room and sports field. Since Don Jorge guests get all the same amenities, it's worth comparing rates for the larger rooms with kitchens there.

Hotel Avenida is an upper-middle-range, 156-room property set on one of Benidorm's main pedestrian shopping streets, just two blocks from Levante Beach. The hotel has a rooftop pool with lounge chairs and a hot tub, and a terrace with panoramic views. The 156 rooms, some of which have balconies, are more modern than most in the area, with bright photomurals behind the beds, though some lower-level rooms can be prone to street noise. The hotel's restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets, and the bar offers evening entertainment. The hotel also has a fitness center with a range of weight and cardio equipment, and a sauna. Families traveling with children might want to consider the nearby Magic Cristal Park Hotel, which has more kid-friendly amenities.

The 291-room Presidente Hotel is a two-and-a-half-pearl property located smack in the middle of Benidorm's nightlife and a five-minute walk from the beach. Guests come back year after year because it's clean, the food is good, and it's a solid value. However, rooms are dated -- with heinous wood paneling -- and include balconies, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Mini-fridges cost extra, and there's a deposit for use of safes and TV remotes. During the summer, the large pool deck -- complete with a whirlpool, a kiddy area, and a bar -- is busy with activities; in the winter, the pool is covered and heated, and the atmosphere is quieter. In this price range, Gran Hotel Bali offers more amenities, but the Presidente is closer to the action.
