Benidorm is unbeatable in my opinion. My family and I have visted Benidorm several times, at different times of the year (march, april, june, july and november) and have always enjoyed it.
As my husband would say, all holiday spots have sun, pools and lovely beaches, but when the sun sets the evenings can be a bit disappointing.
Benidorm can be as quiet or as lively as you want.
There are free clubs that entertain you all night (as long as you buy a drink) from comedians,to singers to drag artists (and even strippers in the wee hours if thats your bag!) the entertainment isn't always superb but it beats sitting in a bar listening to music all night. Don't get me wrong, at 40 years old i am not a complete party animal, but its fun to be entertained, to laugh at rude jokes, and dance the night away until your feet ache.
There is plenty to do during the day apart from sand and pool, the Mundomar sealife park is worth a visit, and the dolphin show a must. Next door is the waterpark so if you intend on going to both during your stay you can buy a combined ticket at the gate that will save a few pounds per person.
Guadalest is so pretty with its turquoise lake and panoramic views, and the market is hot a busling but watch your valuables!
The old town is a nice stroll in the evening, Benidorm can be as wild or relaxing as you prefer.
Don't be put off by all the high-rise hotels. The beach is beautiful, the shops plentiful, and although we have visited many other holiday destinations Benidorm is the only 1 that we return to again and again.
JUST BRILLIANT!!
