The 539-room Pueblo Benidorm is a mid-range resort located in central Benidorm, within walking distance of the beach, shopping, and nightlife. Rooms are smallish but clean, and have amenities that are a little above the average mid-range hotel in town, including free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs with dozens of international channels. The main pool deck, complete with two adult pools and a smaller kiddy one, is bustling during the day, and the indoor heated pool is a convenient perk for the colder months. The buffet restaurant generally gets good reviews, but some themed evening meals lack variety. The hotel also features a kids’ club with a playground and a water feature, indoor parking (for a fee), and a seasonal entertainment program. Those looking to stay closer to Benidorm’s nightlife may prefer the Servigroup Orange Hotel.

The upper-mid-range Marconfort Benidorm draws families, couples, and groups of friends with spacious suites and lots of on-site activities. All units feature bedrooms with two twin beds, living areas with two sofa beds, mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and electric kettles. Hotel highlights include a large pool, several bars, a well-equipped fitness center, and a small spa. The location within walking distance of the beach and nightlife is a plus, but guests have complained of weak drinks and sub-par entertainment for adults.

The 161-room Hotel Cimbel is a family-friendly upper-middle-range property whose best asset is location directly on Levante Beach, within walking distance to the old town and nightlife. Simple, clean, and relatively modern rooms are equipped with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and minibars, but most bathrooms are in need of renovations, and some units lack a balcony. The pool itself is on the small side, but offers panoramic sea views, a kiddy section, and an outdoor whirlpool. The restaurant serves a well-liked buffet as well as a la carte options, and on-site parking is a great perk given the hotel’s central location. Those with a tighter budget may want to compare rates at the adult-only Sol Costablanca, also located right on the beach.

This low-key, mid-range apartment hotel is located in a busy, mostly residential area, but is only an 11-minute walk from the beach and a 15-minute walk from old town. The property's 98 one- and two-bedroom apartments are simple but offer lots of amenities and space, with separate bedrooms, sitting areas with pull-out sofas and flat-screen TVs, and roomy, fully equipped kitchenettes. The hotel is mostly DIY -- there's no on-site restaurant or bar, linens and towels are only changed every five days, and guests are expected to clean their apartments prior to departure. The hotel's only extra property feature is a decent rooftop pool with a children's pool area. Travelers may want to compare rates with the Avenida Apartments, which are closer to attractions but have more dated decor.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Magic Natura is a Polynesian-themed resort that offers free access to the Aqua Natura water park and Terra Natura zoo, with which it shares a site. The 249 rooms are contemporary and bright, outfitted with air-conditioning, microwaves, kettles, and furnished terraces -- some with hot tubs. However, decor is a bit simple and most rooms only have small shower stalls. Features include multiple family-friendly swimming pools, a kids' club, sports facilities, spa for various treatments, and evening entertainment. Three restaurants include two buffet-style options and an a la carte spot serving exotic meats. All-inclusive packages that cover alcoholic beverages are optional. Benidorm proper is a 15-minute drive away, so travelers wanting a hotel closer to the beach and the town center should consider the Villa Del Mar Hotel, though it has fewer features.

Sol Pelicanos Ocas is a massive, all-inclusive, family-friendly resort near the beach. The 794 mid-range rooms are hit or miss depending on where they are located: units in the Ocas section have been renovated and feature contemporary decor, while those in the Pelicanos are drab and in urgent need of a facelift (planned for early 2018). Known for its huge lagoon-style pool with a swim-up bar, the resort also offers an additional four pools, a kids’ club, and multiple dining options (although food gets mixed reviews). Despite its size, the property lacks a fitness center. In this price range, it's also worth considering the Hotel Helios.

Located right across the street from a long, sandy beach on the edge of Old Town, the upscale Villa del Mar draws vacationing couples as well as families with older children. Its 108 rooms have cute beachy decor in white and blue hues and come with solid amenities such as flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges.
