Restaurants and Bars
Start and end your days at the bright, contemporary buffet restaurant, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are usually served buffet-style with show cooking. When occupancy is lower, the hotel may switch to an à la carte service instead – handy if you prefer plated meals.
Two bars keep drinks and snacks covered:
• A rooftop pool bar (roughly 10:00–21:00), ideal for sundowners and laid-back tunes.
• The Arches Lounge coffee bar (approx. 16:30–00:00) for barista-style coffees, cocktails and pre-night-out tipples.
Expect a smart-casual dress code in the restaurant and bars (no beachwear), and note that reservations, opening hours and inclusions can vary by season and board basis.
Pool Areas and Beach
The star of the show is the outdoor freshwater pool on the rooftop terrace. It’s typically heated from 1 October to 31 March (dates subject to change), making shoulder-season swims that bit more tempting. A dedicated sunbathing area with loungers, parasols and towel service sets the scene for lazy afternoons with skyline views.
When you’re ready for the Mediterranean, Levante Beach is about 500m away. This Blue-Flag sweep of soft sand is lined with bars, cafés and watersports operators, so you can go from rooftop relaxation to classic Benidorm beach day in a matter of minutes.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Hotel Gold Arcos is all about easy days and lively nights rather than a long list of sports facilities. Even so, you’ll still find enough to keep you occupied between beach runs and bar-hopping:
• Heated rooftop pool with loungers and towel service
• Occasional evening entertainment across the year, including live music sessions
• Highchairs in the restaurant for younger guests
• 24-hour reception with concierge-style help for excursions and tickets
• Currency exchange, luggage storage and motorised scooter charging
On top of that, you’re surrounded by Benidorm’s broader line-up of theme parks, waterparks, boat trips and nightlife – easy to tap into with help from the reception team.
