The 132-room Servigroup Castilla is a mid-range hotel located in a quiet area near bars, restaurants and the beach. Rooms are simple but clean and spacious, and have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and furnished balconies. The pool, although smallish and in the shade for several hours every day, is relaxing and offers plenty of loungers and umbrellas, as well as a kiddy pool and a playground. The restaurant offers a varied buffet and a gluten-free menu, and the bar has a few tables on the sundeck. There is also a fitness center with a handful of cardio and strength-training machines, but use of the sauna is an extra charge. Indoor parking is a great perk, especially during the summer, when Benidorm is busiest. Those looking for something a little cheaper may prefer Servigroup Calypso.

Easily the most impressive thing about the three-pearl Prince Park Hotel is its location, right by the amphitheater in the Parque de l’Aiguera, a verdant park in the middle of Benidorm. It's a 15-minute walk to the beach, and 15 minutes to the New Town's bars and clubs. The hotel offers a decent-size pool set in a sunny terrace, a buffet eatery, and an outdoor kids’ play area. The owner of the hotel collects art, and the property is full of bright and quirky works by local artists. The hotel’s 165 rooms are bland in terms of decor, but they're bright and well-outfitted with flat-screen TVs and furnished terraces. Guests looking for a hotel closer to the beach might want to check the Hotel Cimbel, on Llevante Beach.

This mid-range, apartment-style property is conveniently located right by the beach and close to restaurants and nightlife. Though the hotel has four pools, on-site dining options are limited to only one restaurant and a bar, but all-inclusive options are available. The 135 apartments are outfitted with kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and terraces, but they're a bit dated in terms of decor and only suites have air-conditioning. Despite the kid-friendly game rooms and children’s pool, the property attracts a young, hip crowd that sometimes incites noise complaints. Terralta Apartments is a good alternative that’s family-friendly, has apartments with air-conditioning, and a mini-mart on-site.

The 166-room Don Jorge Apartamentos is an affordable mid-range option for families or groups looking for fully equipped one- to two-bedroom apartments in Benidorm. An outdoor pool sums up the on-site amenities here -- the hotel even lacks Wi-Fi. However, guests have free access to the next-door Palm Beach Hotel, which has indoor and outdoor pools, restaurants (with all-inclusive options available), a gym, free Wi-Fi, and kid-friendly areas. Apartments are basic, with simple, contemporary decor, kitchenettes, terraces, and flat-screen TVs. The building sits on a hill and can be difficult to reach for some; it has steep stairs to the lobby, and guests often have to check in at the Palm Beach Hotel. Travelers might want to compare with the Terralta Apartments, which offers free Wi-Fi, an on-site restaurant, gym, and a kids' club.

The budget Paraiso Ten Apartments offers 154 clean and spacious, apartment-style units within walking distance of both Levante Beach and Old Town. The one- and two-bedroom units are basic and only cleaned once per week, but they do have full kitchens and roomy balconies. Views from the top floors of the 26-story building are especially impressive. The Paraiso shares a spacious pool with an adjacent complex, but lounge chairs cost extra to use. There's also a bar that serves hot food. While rates are attractive, the daily fees for Wi-Fi, in-room safes, irons, and hairdryers can add up. Parking is free but limited and not guaranteed. Lots of alternative options exist nearby, including the lower-middle-range Palm Court Apartments, which is closer to the beach.

The two-pearl, 112-room Hotel Perla Residencia isn’t anything fancy, but it attracts a young, hip crowd -- including many bachelor/bachelorette parties -- looking for budget-friendly accommodations near the beach and party scene. The central location is convenient, a five-minute walk to the beach and surrounded by bars. The outdoor pool, cafe and bar, and English pub definitely add to the hotel's appeal, and freebies include a breakfast buffet and Wi-Fi. Rooms are quite basic and bathrooms show their age, but they’re fairly clean and are outfitted with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and terraces, but no in-room coffee- and tea-making facilities or mini-fridges, plus use of safes incurs a fee. Travelers interested in a place that’s less noisy might want to check rates at La Caseta Apartments.

La Era Park Apartments is an affordable two-and-a-half-pearl property that's a 10-minute walk to Levante Beach in central Benidorm. All 72 of its cheaply furnished apartments have kitchenettes and balconies. It's a popular spot for British bachelor and bachelorette parties, so La Era can get noisy. The large swimming pool is the best feature at the hotel. There's a market nearby and the on-site bar sells a wide array of alcohol, including several beers on tap. The hotel serves mediocre meals cafeteria-style or from a pool snack shop. There are fees for Wi-Fi, parking, and use of the laundry room. For an upgraded apartment hotel, travelers could try Marconfort Benidorm Suites, though rates can be much higher.

The 120-room Hotel Magic Villa de Benidorm is an all-inclusive, mid-range property located a couple of blocks from Levante Beach. Rooms are homey with somewhat generic and dated decor, and outfitted with TVs (not all flat-screens), air-conditioning (for a deposit), and mini-fridges. Furniture shows some signs of wear and tear and there's a fee for Wi-Fi. Hotel highlights include two pools, two children’s pools, a buffet restaurant (but it gets mixed reviews), gym, and a number of kid-friendly amenities. The free shuttle from Alicante Airport (for those staying more than seven days) is a nice perk. Families might also want to check rates at Hotel Helios Benidorm, which has more up-to-date rooms and free Wi-Fi.

Hotel Agir is a mid-range tourist hotel located in the heart of Benidorm, a block from the beach. The 76 rooms and suites here are simple and are showing their age (the property's been in operation for five-plus decades), but all have balconies and air-conditioning. Features include a restaurant with daily breakfast buffets, a tapas bar with sidewalk seating, and a small spa with whirlpool hot tubs, a sauna, a steam room, a good selection of treatments -- including body wraps. There's also a fitness center with a solid range of equipment and a swimming pool with city views (a convenient touch considering the Agir is not right on the ocean). Travelers looking for similarly priced rooms with self-catering facilities may want to consider Acuarium II Apartments.

The three-pearl Poseidon Playa Hotel is located in a suburb of Benidorm 20 minutes’ walk from the center of town, but only two minutes from the beach. Most of the 306 rooms have a view of the Mediterranean, but they're dated -- like the rest of the property -- and guests have to rent the mini-fridges and safes. A large lap pool and sizable separate children’s pool face the ocean and are adjacent to a bar. All-inclusive packages are available for the buffet restaurant, but food receives mixed reviews. A game room, kids' club, and daily activities keep kids busy, but the evening entertainment is average at best. Guests looking for a hotel close to the beach but nearer to the center of Benidorm might prefer the more contemporary Belroy Hotel.
