The 200-room Servigroup Nereo is an average mid-range hotel located across from Benidorm’s famous indoor market, and within a short walk of the beach and nightlife. Rooms are generic and simple, but have solid amenities, including free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, furnished balconies, and flat-screen TVs. Although mostly popular with older couples and groups, this property is also one of the most family-friendly Servigroup outposts in town, with a seasonal kids’ club with daily activities, and a kiddy pool. And the hotel features a buffet restaurant that gets good reviews, and indoor parking for a fee. The pool is pleasant and gets lots of sun, but there don’t seem to be enough umbrellas, resulting in morning dashes to secure one. Young partiers may prefer Hotel Perla Residencia.

The upper-middle-range Belroy Hotel is a contemporary property set a block back from the public beach and adjacent promenade. Bright and up-to-date, the 125 rooms are a bit bland and generic, outfitted with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and furnished terraces. Distant sea views are largely obstructed by buildings, and small safes require a fee.On-site features consist of an indoor pool, outdoor pool with shallow section for children, a sauna, and poorly equipped gym. The main buffet restaurant receives mixed reviews, plus there are an a la carte Japanese eatery, and cafe with al fresco terrace. It's worth considering the Villa Del Mar Hotel, which has more character and great sea views.

The Hotel Rosamar, a three-pearl resort that's a 10-minute walk to Levante Beach on the Costa Blanca, is popular with everyone from families with young children, partying bachelors, and international pensioners. Its 369 rooms on 14 floors have views of the city, mountains, or the sea. Built in 1969, the property is showing its age both in decor and excruciatingly slow elevators. Among its features are three pools, a spa, and a water park. The main buffet restaurant has a show kitchen. There's a piano bar and live entertainment, which sometimes includes Elvis impersonators. Expect to pay extra for Wi-Fi and parking. For a more modern property on the Alicante coast, travelers might prefer Benidorm Flash Hotel.

The Hotel Benidorm Plaza is a towering 228-room, resort-style hotel set in the center of Benidorm. Surrounded by hotels and tower blocks, this three-pearl property is a five- to 10-minute walk to Levante Beach and the cobbled streets of the old town. The decor throughout most of the property might feel garish to some and many rooms are outdated. More modern rooms do tone it down a bit, and some feature sea-view balconies. Fitness and child-friendly facilities are adequate without being outstanding, and food has garnered mixed reviews. The covered swimming pool is a highlight and stays open all year, though for a pool terrace with panoramic view of the Mediterranean, check out Hotel Avenida, which is also closer to the beach but less family friendly.

Located on Benidorm’s tourist strip, the 420-room Hotel Ambassador Playa I & II is a large complex made up of two hotels linked by a covered walkway. This is a busy and popular mid-range vacation property, and most guests are British tourists on one- or two-week package tours. The complex has several bars, a buffet restaurant that gets good reviews, and a fabulous wellness spa. But this is not the place for a quiet retreat -- on-site and neighboring bars blast loud music into the early hours, and it can be hard to escape the noise. Travelers seeking a quieter vacation might want to check out the Benilux Park Hotel.

Located in Benidorm, a package-style tourist destination on Spain’s Costa Blanca, Benilux Park Hotel is a six-minute walk from Playa Poniente, one of the town’s two beaches. This three-pearl, budget-friendly hotel is a multi-storied complex with 216 rooms spread over two wings. Most of the guest rooms here are clean and well-maintained, and there’s an outdoor swimming pool, as well as a children’s pool, playground, and daily kids’ activities. But the Benilux Park skimps on the extras: Basic room amenities such as mini-fridges, safes, and hairdryers come with extra fees, and a small deposit is required for air-conditioning. The daily morning scramble for scarce sun loungers is a source of frustration for some guests, although others find it amusing. For a slightly more upscale option, travelers might want to consider Hotel Magic Fenicia, although rates will be higher.

A three-and-a-half pearl hotel with decorative Aztec flair, Hotel Don Pancho is in the middle of Benidorm's touristy action, a block from Levante Beach. All of its 255 airy and modern rooms have private balconies and sea views, though there are no coffeemakers and safes cost a fee to use. Kid-friendly amenities are nonexistent (apart from the large outdoor pool) and there are dress codes at dinner, so families should think twice, but couples and groups of young friends appreciate the dance club and salsa lessons. Travelers should also note that the property will no longer accept children starting May 2018. There's no full-service spa, but a massage room and well-equipped gym are available. For a hotel with similar amenities a short distance off the beach, check rates at the Hotel RH Corona del Mar, on the quieter end of town.

The Hotel Riudor is a moderately priced, adult-only, mid-range property in the heart of the Benidorm, a bustling resort area on the Costa Blanca. Its 165 rooms have balconies and views of the city, and the outdoor pool is a pleasant spot with umbrella tables, loungers, and a beach bar with a terrace. The restaurant serves both Mediterranean and continental fare all day. Rooms come with individual climate control, and Wi-Fi and mini-fridges for a fee. On the downside, rooms are simply furnished and they do pick up noise from the live music in the hotel and the surrounding night clubs. Travelers could compare this property with the Hotel Regente, which has even lower rates.

The 133-room RH Hotel Victoria is a mid-range property with nautical flair, located in the center of Benidorm less than a 10-minute walk from Levante Beach. Rooms are simply decorated, yet spacious and mostly contemporary, with excellent Wi-Fi, a good choice of English TV channels, and sea views in some. Dining is generally good and a decent buffet breakfast is included in room rates, or guests can opt for all-inclusive. But the small pool area is a letdown, and can be prone to unwanted shade. Otherwise, with its seasonal kids' club and proximity to old town, it's certainly one of the better three-pearl options around for both families and couples. Couples may prefer the adult-only Hotel RH Royal across the street.

The Sandos Monaco Beach Hotel & Spa is an upper-middle-range, adults-only property with a central location between Old and New Towns, and a five-minute walk from the beach. Rooms at this all-inclusive are clean and sunny, and have nice bathrooms, furnished balconies, and free Wi-Fi. But decor is a little plain and dated, and non-premium guests should expect to pay for use of safes and mini-fridges. With a bar, a whirlpool, and lots of loungers, the pool deck is a pleasant sunny spot, though the pool itself is smallish and gets several hours of shade a day. A soothing spa provides a great hydrotherapy area (for a fee). The restaurant serves a varied buffet for all meals, but food gets mixed reviews. In this price range, Hotel RH Royal is another good option for couples, but it lacks a spa.
