Dated room decor
The two-pearl Beni Beach Apartments is a self-catering hotel overlooking Benidorm's Poniente Beach. With its close location to lively nightlife, it attracts a young crowd -- including many bachelor/bachelorette parties. The 160 apartments feature basic dated decor, fully-equipped kitchens, lounge/dining areas, and furnished glassed-in balconies with stunning views of the Mediterranean. The outdoor swimming pool and surrounding gardens definitely add to the hotel's appeal, while the restaurant and bar area could do with a refurbishment. The restaurat serves breakfasts, lunch, and snacks along with a selection of drinks -- reportedly at reasonable prices. Wi-Fi is free, though only available in the reception and bar areas. Rates skyrocket in the summer. Travelers interested in a hotel that’s less noisy might want to check rates at Hotel Lido, where breakfast is included and rates are much cheaper.
Scene
High-rise apartment block with simple, no frills interiors
Beni Beach Apartments is a high-rise apartment block overlooking Benidorm's Poniente Beach. The hotel is a typical, simple seaside hotel, with no extra frills. Don't expect anything memorable in terms of decor that's mostly done with plain tiled floors, matching light wooden furniture and doors, granite countertops, and little attention to detail. The restaurant has a cafeteria feel with indoor and outdoor seating areas and an adjacent game room. The outdoor areas are more relaxing, with beautiful lush gardens and an average-size pool -- the few scattered sun loungers are located slightly away from the pool and there are no umbrellas available. Overall, it's a casual, lively, and friendly place with a great location. Families are occasionally seen here, but it's more popular with couples and groups of adults -- the hotel gets a lot of bachelor/bachelorette parties, which cause a lot of noise.
