Where to stay in Benidorm
Staying in the Old Town (Casco Antiguo) puts you closest to the local markets and within easy walking distance of the seafront. The Hotel Presidente is a solid mid-range option right in the thick of things, while the Magic Aqua Rock Gardens suits those who want more resort-style comfort without straying too far from the action.
If you prefer to be near the Levante Beach end of town, that strip has plenty of well-priced hotels and is still easy to reach the markets from on foot or by a short taxi ride.
