⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1000/5 – An Absolutely Wonderful Holiday!

This was my first time ever going abroad and my first time visiting Benidorm, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My stay at Sol Pelícanos Ocas was exceptional and absolutely wonderful from start to finish.

The whole team were fantastic. Every member of staff was so friendly, welcoming and willing to answer any questions we had. You could really see the effort they put into making sure everyone had a brilliant holiday, which put both me and my family member completely at ease throughout our stay.

The hotel itself was lovely, with exceptionally high cleaning standards. Everything was kept clean and well looked after, which made such a difference to our stay.

The food was extremely good, and there was plenty to enjoy. The pool area was absolutely amazing and was one of our favourite parts of the hotel.

The entertainment was also amazing! There really is something for everyone, with plenty to keep guests entertained and make the evenings enjoyable.

The location is ideal too, making it easy to enjoy everything Benidorm has to offer. As someone visiting Benidorm and travelling abroad for the very first time, I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the whole experience.

We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are already looking at coming back again! I would 100% recommend Sol Pelícanos Ocas to anyone looking for a fantastic holiday.

Thank you to the whole team for making our first holiday abroad so incredibly special. ❤️🌴☀️

Please ignore everything bad you read about this hotel. It is simply not true. After reading them I spent 3 weeks prior really worrying about our holiday but it was fantastic.

Here is an honest review of everything I can think of. We stayed from 22nd to 29th August 2026. 2 adults and a 14 year old boy in the Sol Pelícanos all inclusive.

We arrived at around 1.30am so only us and one other party to check in. It was a little slow as only one reception member on and you have to input all your details onto their iPads.

Room was perfectly fine. Beds were a good size, large wardrobe, balcony over looking the main pool. Bathroom was a good size and towels were replaced everyday. And room was cleaned everyday. On our last evening we had a leak from the room above ours, notified reception and it was fixed the same evening.

Restaurant was fantastic. Yes at times there could be queues to enter the restaurant whilst waiting for tables to become free. This is not the hotels fault, this is holiday makers taking ages to eat and chat at their tables. We never waited in a queue as we went for all meals as soon as the restaurant opened. Breakfast 8am, lunch 13.30pm and dinner 7pm. The food was great. Breakfast was repetitive. Full English items, cereals, yogurts, fruit, pastries, meats, pancakes etc. exactly what you would expect from a breakfast buffet. Lunch always had meat, vegetables, seafood, breads, pizza, chips, burgers, hot dogs, pasta, soups, sweets, jellies, deserts. Various different cuisines, tacos, curry’s, stew, steaks. Dinner was very similar to lunch. There was literally something for everyone. For a 3* hotel I really can’t see what more they could do.

Every food item was exquisite. Pizzas made from scratch, omelettes by request, steaks cooked how you like.

We only used the snack bar once on our last day as check out was 12pm and you loose the all inclusive privilege (we had an evening flight) but great options available there too.

Drinks. You receive tokens that you exchange for your drinks in reusable cups. When you return the cups you get tokens back. Brilliant idea.

Pools. We only visited the main pelícanos pool which was fantastic. Three whirlpools attached and the swim up pool bar (not all inclusive). Queues for the pool. Yes people queue from around 7am for 9am access, this is because people want to secure a parasol. This is COMPLETELY unnecessary. We never queued. Just went down between 9 and 9.30am and we always got a parasol. The only day we didn’t was because we went for a walk and didn’t get back to the hotel until around 12pm. There are PLENTY of sunbeds and chairs, this is not a problem but the parasols are in short supply.

Lifts. Now this is one that is a problem. The lifts are slow, very slow. But if you can time it right in order to miss the mad rushes you don’t wait too long.

I did not encounter a single rude member of staff. I DID encounter rude holiday makers so maybe the people who complain about the staff should consider how they appear themselves.

Entertainment. Day time entertainment is adequate. I can only comment on entertain around the pool though, not sure what else went on ie for kids club etc. There was aqua aerobics every day. Water carpets for kids and adults, bouncy castles were there 2 days and water polo. Evening entertainment is not great. It’s all over on the ocas side where there is a stage and only seemed to include a 1/2 hour mini kids disco around 9pm and then a show at 10pm. We had an abba tribute, flamenco dancers, shows put on by the entertainment team. Just not good at all really. This is genuinely the only downside of the hotel.

Please don’t take any notice of the negative nellys leaving poor reviews. This is a 3* hotel in the centre of Benidorm catering for a huge amount of people and they did this very well. I have been in much worse hotels in Benidorm !!
