With the addition of all ten seasons and Christmas specials to Netflix of the hit ITV1 comedy Benidorm, we’ve seen a real growth of visitors to our Sol Pelicanos Ocas page on the Teletext Holidays website. The four star (it really is a four star!) Melia owned Sol Pelicanos is the location for all the pool scenes at the Solana Hotel in the TV programme Benidorm and this location is not the only real life set used in the hit show.

If you fancy airing your dirty laundry in public you too could have a public bust up in Neptunes (actually “Morgan’s Tavern”), a very real and very popular nightlife location around the corner from the Sol Pelicanos in Benidorm. This year the creator of Benidorm has opened a karaoke bar just around the corner from the hotel. The aptly named “Mateo’s”, named after the show’s lusty barman, was opened in 2020 and has not enjoyed the best start due to Covid-19 but fans of the show (and fans of pub quizzes) can sign up to enjoy a Benidorm themed pub quiz even while locked up in Tier 3 London or Manchester via their Facebook page.

Today we’re going to recommend Benidorm holidays to suit every traveller type and find the perfect Beni holiday for you and yours. Whether you refuse to spend a penny on holiday like the Garveys and the Stewarts and always go all-inclusive or fancy yourself as a leading light on the Benidorm scene like the Dykes and the Weedons and want something a little bit up-market, we’ve got the ultimate Benidorm holiday in 2021 for you!

Cheap, All Inclusive Benidorm Holidays

For those firmly with Mick, Janice, Jacqui and Donald who wants every meal, drink and ray of sunshine by the pool and included in the price then we recommend the Magic Aqua Rock Gardens for a cheap, all-inclusive Benidorm holiday. This holiday is available in May 2021, including flights, from just £214 per person, all-inclusive per week. 

The hotel features several swimming pools and is located in the heart of the city. Not only is there a large swimming pool complete with a LED screen which shows films and other events, but an on-site waterpark for guests to enjoy - in addition to a range of other child-friendly amenities including slides and flumes, a children’s pool, VR video games and an entertainment programme.

Luxury, All Inclusive Benidorm Holidays

If you want to enjoy all the glitz and glamour that Benidorm has to offer and want to stay in luxurious surroundings like Tonya or Kate or even Joyce Temple-Savage herself and not be bothered by kids with inflatables, then how about the 4* Adults Only Flamingo Beach Hotel? Available from £207 per week including flights, these all inclusive apartments offer real peace and tranquillity in the Costa Blanca’s busiest resort.

This peaceful resort is located in the heart of Benidorm, but still offers guests the chance to find that perfect slice of peace and tranquillity. The hotel features a modern design with stylish guest rooms, great dining options and bars as well as entertainment and outdoor swimming pools. Guests will find themselves within reach of some of Spain’s most stunning beaches and many of the main attractions in Benidorm, making the Flamingo Beach Resort a great choice for those who like a mixture of laid-back and lively.

For those of you who identify most strongly with Geoff (The Oracle) Maltby then we recommend the Benidorm hotel with the best quizzes and karaoke in the city and arguably the finest entertainment on the Costa Blanca, the Presidente Hotel. A week in the Presidente this coming summer 2021 will set you back just under £300 per person including flights.

This wonderful hotel offers impressive accommodation and amazing evening entertainment, on-site dining that is suitable for all as well as an outdoor pool and sun terrace. Guests will be able to take full advantage of the prime location as they will find spectacular beaches, fun-filled attractions and an array of bars and restaurants. The Hotel Presidente is a great choice for those who are seeking an affordable holiday without the hassle where everything you could ever want to see, do, eat or sing is provided on-site.

Whatever kind of holiday you’re looking for in 2021, surely a trip to Benidorm has to be the ultimate tonic to blow away the cobwebs of holiday and fun-free 2020?
