- Join me on a full hotel tour of the Benidorm Plaza, a 4 star hotel in the centre of Benidorm. Why is it known as the British' best loved holiday destination?
Is it a top hotel to stay in, the reviews are pretty good, bet there are also mentions of a cold breakfast. Who wants a tepid full english? I try out some of the breakfast options to see what all the fuss is about.
The 4 star rated Hotel Benidorm Plaza is situated around 300 metres from the Playa Levante beach, in the popular resort of Benidorm on the south coast of Spain.
The hotel is approximately 65km east of the Alicante International airport, and a few steps from the commercial centre of the resort, where you will find a wide selection of bars, restaurants and shops.
Built in 1966 and extensively refurbished during the winter of 2015, the modern Hotel Benidorm Plaza has a total of 224 guest rooms, including 211 standard twin rooms, 11 singles and a further 2 Suites, which are built over 17 floors and set amidst spacious Mediterranean style gardens and sun terraces around a large central pool area.
All guest rooms at the hotel are either air conditioned or centrally heated according to the season, and come equipped with a fully fitted "en suite" bathroom with shower, cosmetic mirror and hairdryer, along with a satellite television, direct dial telephone, mini bar, safety deposit box available for rental, and either a balcony or terrace, most of which have exterior views over the pool and garden area.
Benidorm has been a tourist destination within Spain since 1925, when its port was extended and the first hotels were built, though it would not be until the 1950s that it became renowned as a summer destination for people coming from inland Spain, especially Madrid. Today it is known for its hotel industry, beaches, and skyscrapers and receives as many tourists from abroad as from Spain. According to the 2020 census, Benidorm has a permanent population of 70,450 inhabitants, making it the fifth-most populous town in the Alicante province and the ninth in Valencian Community.
The town is divided into five parts: Poniente (Ponent or 'sun setting') and Levante (Llevant or 'sun rising'), each fronted by a beach of the same name; the old town (also called El Castell); La Cala situated to the west side of Poniente; and El Rincón de Loix (or El Racó de l'Oix) situated to the east side of Levante. Between the two beaches lies a rocky promontory and the port.
The old city occupies the promontory and the area immediately inland, while most of the hotels occupy the more recently developed sections inland from the two beaches. A few miles from shore is an uninhabited island known as Benidorm Island or Peacock Island (due to previously having a peacock enclosure) which provides a dramatic centrepiece to the seascape.

Great view 🤩
It really is!😆
We're staying there at the moment gave up on the food very poor standard rooms are good but that's about it other than good location for everything
You're right, rooms are good but not the food, we skipped breakfast on the second day :/
Which room was you staying in, in the video?
It was room 1605 on the 16th floor. Was a room with a sea view.
Plus the food was awful... Friday Gala night was a joke 😅
Didn’t catch the gala 😬
Hi we stayed there in January & it's the worst hotel we've stayed at in our 7 holidays to Benidorm would not recommend it it's terrible 😔
What was the best hotel?
Not a bad hotel for a pesky brit!
