Flash Hotel Benidorm

★★★★Independent · open 8 Feb to 2 Jan

A 191-room four-star on Calle Derramador, 275 m from Levante beach, with 63 bars within 300 m. Open since 1970. The hotel says it is recommended for adults, and most rooms have a sea view.

Our verdictBook it if you're adults who want the strip, the shows at Flash Bar and the beach all within a short walk. The catch is housekeeping: cleanliness averages 3.4 across 69 reviews and rooms 3.2 across 70, and recent reviews have slipped to 3.9. We have no prices tracked for the Flash yet; the hotel's site offers 5% off long stays.
  • 191 rooms
  • Recommended for adults
  • Most rooms sea view
  • Live shows at Flash Bar
  • 275 m to Levante beach

Pool and sunbeds

Can you get a sunbed?

  • Pool bar in season, for hotel guests only

12 of the 200 reviews mention sunbeds, and they average 2.3 stars. The problem isn't finding one: 5 say there are plenty and there's no morning scramble. It's the state of them: 8 describe tired, sagging or dirty loungers. The hotel publishes no sunbed rules.

8complain about the condition of the loungers

The chatter

Food is the big argument (33 comments): some found plenty of choice, others rate it below a three-star. The shows (20 comments) and the pool (19) come up next. Commenters also note the 16:00 check-in and that some partial sea-view rooms have a shower over the bath.
