Sol Pelicanos Ocas

One look at this Benidorm hotel and it’s easy to see why it draws guests back year after year. It starts with an enormous swimming pool complex that offers children’s pools, fountains and whirlpools. Then factor in the adventure play area and a kids’ club offering sports, arts, crafts and games, and it’s obvious why the Sol Pelícanos Ocas is such a hit.

The plentiful breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets feature dishes from around the world, while the snack bar by the pool serves up al fresco pizzas, burgers and other light meals. There are a number of bars, including a swim-up one in summer for those times when you just can’t drag yourself from the water for a cocktail. Guests also rave about the nightly entertainment, especially the stage shows inspired by Broadway musicals, and the friendly staff.
