Cabana Hotel

The Cabana is a slender monolith of a hotel situated on a small incline in the Poniente area of Benidorm, a short walk from the main tourist attractions and the beautiful beach stretching as far as the eye can see. The bustling restaurants, bars and shops of the resort centre are all there for the taking, while the hotel, in a quieter residential area provides a small oasis of calm - the best of both worlds.

The main feature of the hotel is the inviting freeform swimming pool and pretty tropical gardens where sunbeds and parasols encourage guests to stay and unwind. The bar, which opens onto the pool area in summer, will provide icy drinks to quench your thirst and the large, self-service restaurant offers a range of buffet dishes three times a day to satisfy rumbling tums. When the sun's at its peak, why not take a turn on the pool table in the cool of the bar, keeping an eye on the children having fun in the play area and sectioned off pool area. Rooms are warmly decorated and welcoming and nearly all have a balcony, some on the upper floors with views of the Mediterranean.

Things to see and do abound in the area: there is an endless choice of watersports along the never-ending sands, Spain's largest theme park, Terra Mitica and The Paramount Pleasure Park are within easy reach, and the area is renowned for its nightlife. With something for everyone, the Cabana makes a good base for a family holiday on the Costa Blanca.
