Best Adult Only Hotels in Benidorm
Adults Only Hotels – Calm, Cool and Friendly
Adult only hotels can be a smart choice for those who want a good holiday without the ‘hassle’ of the little ones interrupting conversations and putting their sticky fingers in the buffet.
Benidorm has seen a big growth in Adult Only hotels as their popularity increases. There are a number featured here and you can book one of your choice through our bookings box.
Sandos Monaco Beach Hotel & Spa
The Sandos Hotel, is generally well regarded by its guests who like the child free hotel based in one of the busier areas of Benidorm.
Rooms are not massive but not small either and the staff seem to have received very good training as many guests feel welcomed and appreciated.
The pool area is limited and the sun can fall on sunbeds around the pool much later on in the day so that’s worth thinking about if you are a sun worshiper but not a beach lover which is about 10 minutes walk away.
Food is good but buffet style and many book half board or other packages so that they can eat out when they want to.
The local nightlife and area is very busy and therefore the Sandos is good if you are a ‘Benidorm’ lover.
Mixed visitor profile with a number of nationalities, not just British.
A nicely styled hotel with up-to-date decor and a modern feel about it. Not too pricey normally so very much worth thinking about.
Top Tip
Great staff – if you are not happy, just talk to them, they actually seem to listen.

Shadow on Pool
Riviera Beach Hotel
This hotel looks like it has got the right formula for adults and couples who like most things from the trendy styling to the terrace bar and night club which many choose over the entertainment available almost anywhere in Benidorm.
The Riviera has city-hotel like decor and many like this as it makes them feel a bit special on what is a sun and sand holiday. The rooms are a nice size and very clean with great mattresses – cool memory foam. That plus the air-conditioning copes with the summer heat means you should get a good night’s sleep at the Riviera beach. However, because of its location and proximity to the Rosamar Hotel (big family hotel) a few people have complained about the noise at night.
The food is well rated and the serving staff make the buffet experience a good one. As this is an Adults only hotel, this seems to get everyone talking and people return regularly.
The swimming pool is a tad on the small side and can be in the shade earlier on and later in the afternoon depending on when you go.
Overall you should have a good time at this hotel, make friends and feel very well looked after.
Top Tip
Give some real thought about night-time and your sleeping preferences and book a room accordingly.

Card system for all-inclusive drinks – one drink per person per card and queues.
Flash Hotel Benidorm
The public rooms at the Flash Hotel and the reception area are very well designed and inviting. The styling appeals to younger adults but people of all ages stay there.
The staff have received good training and the entertainment is very well thought of in a town full of great entertainments.
The Flash’s restaurant is a little on the small side and the dining times can be very busy but the food is rated well. The selection is diverse and probably has more fish options than many British are used to. The Flash has a long trouser’s policy to maintain standards in the evening and this concerns some yet delight others.
Rooms are OK but the air-conditioning can struggle on very hot days. Apart from that they are clean and welcoming although not as cutting edge as some of the public areas of the Flash.
Top Tip
Pool side rooms can be quieter.

Busy at times.
Hotel Levante Club & Spa
The Hotel Levante Club & Spa is on the Edge of Benidorm and a good 20 minute walk down to the Beach (according to Google maps), not the management who say it is 12 minutes walk! That said, there’s plenty on offer in the hotel to keep you there.
The pools are large and modern and don’t suffer as much from shadows in the day from other buildings . The spa is very high quality and not a pricey as some might expect. There aren’t sunbed rushes and there seems to be plenty for everyone.
The rooms are good quality and have adequate air-conditioning. The hotel is quieter than other adult hotels which is manly because of its location.
Probably the biggest issue with the Levante is its poorly reviewed buffet food offering which is bland and repetitive and sometimes very basic as if catering for children. It is for this reason you may want to choose bed and breakfast or half board.
Whilst the hotel is impressive, it is large and lacks a certain style of personal service. That said, many visitors love the Levante because it isn’t like other adult only hotels.
Top Tip
Think about dinning options you want carefully.

Food
Sol Costablanca
The Sol Costablanca hotel is one of the few directly on the beach and that’s a major plus point for many.
From the outside the Sol Costablanca looks impressive and the money spent on the external features is a great advert. However, the inside of the hotel must be considered dated and badly in need of a refurbishment. With competition from very well styled hotels like the Flash, the Sol Costablanca aged rooms are a disappointment.
There is a small hotel pool and the Mediterranean out of the front of the hotel. The small deck area allows for only a limited number of sun beds which can be a cause for complaint.
Unfortunately the food isn’t well rated and can be basic at times.
Top Tip
Consider alternatives
Top Gripe
Limited pool area and dated rooms.
Marconfort Essence
The Marconfort is a stylish and modern hotel suited to couples and or small groups of adults. It is situated on the outer edge of the New Town so it is a good 20-minute walk to Levante Beach but there is transport.
The rooms in the Marconfort a large and stylish and well appointed. Whilst the hotel is quite highrise, the lifts appear to function well unlike some similar hotels.
Being slightly out of town the entertainment is reasonable and worth staying in for on a number of nights but it is only 10 minutes to the New Town.
The pool areas and availability of sun beds is good and there’s plenty of daytime activities for the restless.
The all-inclusive package is good but not spectacular and it might be a good idea to venture out on an evening to sample Benidorm’s restaurants which are plentiful. Food is good quality but can be repetitive.
A lot of people stay a week at the Marconfort which isn’t a bad idea as 2 weeks could become a little boring – depends on the crowd staying there.
A friendly hotel punching above its weight for adults who will appreciate some of the added extras (like a bottle of Cava on arrival).
Top Tip
Go for a higher room, great views and lifts aren’t a problem.

Walk to beach and repetitive food.
Why an Adult Only Hotel in Benidorm might Suit You
10 Advantages to Booking an Adult Only Hotel in Benidorm
Benidorm is so big it has hotels for everyone. Recently the resort has seen the growth of Adult only hotels where children below the age of 16 or 18 are banned. There are many advantages to Adult only hotels which include:
1. Pools – apart from a few in-water entertainments like water Zumba, the pool area will generally be calm and relaxed.
2. Food – Many adult-only hotels work on an all-inclusive basis, yet it’s much less frantic. There’ll be less small hands handling your food, and no riots when the food isn’t to their liking!
3. Choice – if you are going for more than 7 nights you may find the food a little repetitive and boring. We’d recommend going to the many restaurants found both in the New Town and, for a taste of Spain, the very high quality Spanish restaurants in the Old Town.
4. Sleep – Family hotels can cause disruption especially where kids are left to their own devices. Choose your hotel carefully as some are very near the New Town and may be a little noisy into the night.
5. Entertainment – Quite simply you’ll find Adult hotels geared up for grown up tastes. Perhaps you’ll find a few nights in the hotel can be interspersed with Benidorm nightlife, if you choose.
6. Friends – No kids means you can often form great friendships with a couple by the pool or in the bars and dining room. Most people are more open to chatting when there’s no nipper tugging on their sleeve.
7. Solo – Some people go on holiday on their own and these tend to opt for Adult hotels and you’ll find it is easier to ‘join in’ with others than in a family hotel.
8. Room – Most of the hotels reviewed are higher quality, have better decoration and have been looked after not only by the hotel management, but by the guests.
9. Drinks – many guests at Adult only hotels in Benidorm like the more sophisticated atmosphere of the bars on offer.
10. Relaxation – After a busy time at home, Adult hotels can help you relax more and most of the hotels you’ll find it 50% calmer than a family hotel.
