Unlimited drinks in Benidorm: where, when, who sells it and what it costs

Facts checked 21 October 2026 against the sources at the foot of this page.
Short answer
In Benidorm you get unlimited drinks in five ways: an all-inclusive hotel (about £19 a night extra per adult in November), a one- or two-hour open bar (the Shamrock, every day from March to November at 19:00), a beach club open bar (Oasis, Saturdays from March to October, 14:00 to 16:00), a pool-party pass (BC Music Resort, unlimited drinks until 19:00) and a bar crawl with a free first hour. Bars do not sell all-day wristbands, and the Fancy Dress Party has no drinks wristband either.

All-inclusive: does it pay?
The all-inclusive extra is set by the hotel, not the tour operator: the same hotel costs about the same on Jet2holidays and TUI. In our check of prices for 7 nights from Manchester from 14 November 2026, the median extra was £19.20 per adult per night. (Jet2holidays · TUI, checked 20 Oct 2026)
- Cheapest extra, about £5 to £13 a night: Sandos Monaco, Dynastic, Gala Placidia, the Magic Costa Blanca hotels and Villa España.
- Middle, about £13 to £25: Medplaya Regente and Riudor, Mediterráneo, Port Benidorm, Cuco, Avenida, Flamingo Beach, BCL Levante Club.
- Dearest, about £28 to £37: Meliá Benidorm, Sol Pelícanos Ocas and the RH hotels.
Jet2holidays puts a local beer in Benidorm at about £2.10, so the median extra equals about nine beers a day before you count lunch. (Jet2holidays) The catch: the wristband works in your hotel only. If you plan to be out on the Strip or the Square all day, you pay twice. See what a holiday really costs.

On Fancy Dress Day
The Fancy Dress Party on Thursday 12 November 2026 has no unlimited-drinks wristband. It is free and you buy drinks bar by bar. (Visit Benidorm) What works on the day:
- Your all-inclusive hotel for a cheap start before you go out, and a nightcap after.
- The Shamrock open bar at 19:00, which runs every day in November and fits after the 16:00 parade. (Funktion Events)
- Not on the day: the Oasis open bar runs on Saturdays to October only. (Funktion Events)
Watch out for
- An all-inclusive wristband works in your own hotel only.
- Unlimited usually means local brands. Branded spirits and cocktails often cost extra.
- Times are fixed. A two-hour open bar starts on the hour, not when you arrive.
- Check the date: the Oasis open bar and pool parties are seasonal.
