Barceló Benidorm Beach

★★★★Barceló · adults recommended

A Barceló four-star on the Levante seafront at the Old Town end, 41 m from the beach and 224 m from the Old Town. It is adults recommended rather than adults only, and the rooftop pool and bar are what guests talk about. 166 of its last 200 Google reviews gave five stars.

Our verdictBook it if you're a couple or friends who want a smart B&B or half-board base on the beach. The catch: drinks are not included in any package, and the few low reviews mention bar prices and small or side-view rooms. We have no direct price for it, but the cheapest site beat Booking.com on every date we tracked, by £6 to £19 a night, and on 3 of the 5 dates that was Barcelo.com, the chain's own site.
