Sandos Monaco puts you in the heart of Benidorm, a few blocks back from Levante’s sandy sweep and within easy reach of everything the resort is famous for. By day, wander down to the beach for sunbathing and watersports or stroll into the quaint Old Town for tapas and sea views. By night, you’re close enough to the bright lights and live shows of Benidorm Square and Benidorm Palace, yet far enough away to retreat to a calmer, adults-only base when you’re done.

Costa Blanca’s wider highlights – from theme parks and waterparks to mountain villages and coastal viewpoints – are easily accessible on day trips, with local buses and excursions running from nearby stops.

Benidorm resort centre: approx. 450m

Benidorm, Costa Blanca, Spain

Fontvielle is the main buffet restaurant, serving a generous spread at breakfast, lunch and dinner with live cooking stations and a mix of Spanish favourites and international comfort dishes. Expect plenty of choice for different diets, plus theme nights across the week.

Four bars keep drinks and social time covered:
– Monte Carlo Lobby Bar – adults-only, ideal for a pre-dinner drink or relaxed nightcap.
– Metropole Bar – open seasonally in the evenings for cocktails and live entertainment nights.
– Pool Bar – open May to September for daytime drinks by the water.
– Select Lounge – an exclusive adults-only lounge for Select Club guests with snacks and premium branded refreshments (consumption within the lounge).

A smart dress code applies in certain venues (no beachwear in the main restaurant and selected bars). Opening hours, reservations and what’s included versus chargeable extras vary by season and board basis; always check the latest details on arrival.

If you opt for All Inclusive, you’ll enjoy buffet meals, snacks between set times and local drinks for at least 12 hours a day – a great way to fix your holiday budget. Explore more about how this works in general in our guide to what All Inclusive typically includes.

The focal point of the outdoor space is a sizeable freshwater pool with built-in whirlpool section, bordered by a sunbathing terrace lined with loungers and parasols. Grab a drink from the pool bar in summer and alternate between dips, sunbathing and people-watching from your lounger.

Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can save suitcase space. Facilities and opening hours may change seasonally, particularly in cooler months.

Levante Beach – one of Benidorm’s star attractions – is just a short walk away, with a long sweep of golden sand, sunbeds for hire, a lively promenade and options for watersports in season. For a different vibe, head towards the Old Town for smaller coves and sea-view bars.
