Sol Pelicanos Ocas

Very nice friendly staff and very clean it was in a very good location the food was very good I will go back again

Just back from a lovely week here all inclusive staff fantastic food very good outside pool was fabulous all areas spotlessly clean drinks very nice and served in glass and pints, rather than plastic beakers, which is usual with all inclusive. definitely will return :m

Hotel is nice ,the hotel lobby entrance could do with a make over tiles look well worn ,rooms pleasant, power shower great. the food is plentiful but the sausage the worst I have had must be awful everybody leaves them on there plate overall 3*

The whole purpose of our visit to Benidorm, and to this hotel was because of the TV Show Benidorm, which used the pool area for a lot of its scenes. Whilst I know it has been some time since the series began (and finished), I doubt we will be the last to visit because of the show. Check-in was a smooth process, with the traditional hotel wristbands issued. We were also provided with a handy guide to times etc showing what was available and when. Room: Our room was on the twelfth floor and was clean and comfortable. The room had comfortable beds, a fridge, a safe (additional charge) an en-suite bathroom, heating/air conditioning, and a balcony with a pool view (we also just about had a sea view). As with most of the Med areas we have stayed, the room had a solid tiled floor, which is great for managing the heat but does little to mask any noise. Thankfully, whilst we did hear the occasional vocal residents leaving and returning at night (morning?), it wasn't as bad as it could have been. This may have been due to the lateness of the season, which also meant we had little need for the air conditioning, despite it still being about 20 degrees in the evening. Booking a pool view was well worth it, as it meant we also got the very last of the evening sunshine. I suspect the rooms on the other side would have been somewhat cooler by the evening. I would say it is worth the uplift to benefit from the sea view. There were some superior rooms available for an extra cost - I didn't spot this until the end of our holiday - I would have liked to see what they were like. Maybe next time... Restaurant: Breakfast: Breakfast was the usual buffet affair, with a wide selection of choices from cereal, bread and rolls, fresh honey on the frame (which I found rather novel, but I understand quite the norm), bacon, eggs, pancakes, cold meats, and cheese, etc. I would have thought there was something for everyone. Lunch: We only had lunch one day, and I think it was a similar affair, but can't really remember. We typically skipped or had something from the snack bar. Snack bar: I think this was only for all-inclusive, but there wasn't anything to prevent anyone else I suspect lunch was a similar choice - we didn't make use of that other than one day - we preferred to stay around the pool and use the snack bar. Here they had a selection of fruits, cheeses, cold meats, salad, olives, and crisps as well as hot foods such as hot dogs, pizza, chips, etc. Evening: The evening meal was again a buffet choice. I did tire a bit of this and craved table service, so we ate out one evening. They had different choices most evenings, with some static choices of salads, cold meats, and cheeses. One night had a fabulous seafood choice - if only I wasn't intolerant to some shellfish. I was quite envious of those able to indulge! Bars: The pool bar was open from 10:30-17:30 with a wide selection available. We'd opted for all-inclusive, so no need to worry about additional costs.

We stayed as two couples. We booked a standard Sol Pelicanos room which overlooked the Ocas building and Silver Dollar pub on the corner. Room was clean, spacious, comfortable beds, walk in shower. Rooms cleaned every day and clean towels every day. Our friends had a Sol Pelicanous pool view room. Again large spacious room with comfortable beds. On checking in which is very very slow we did not notice that we had been allocated the wrong rooms, reception was not very helpful so,we just switched rooms. You have a good size fridge in the room, for your own water, beer or wine supplies. I did read you could hire a kettle for a week. Safe was €3 a day plus €10 deposit which you had back on check out Lifts - be patient they can be slow but there are 7 in total. Dining room - we only booked B&B. Plenty of choice and food was hotter the earlier you ate, current times for breakfast are 8-10.30am Pool area - plenty of loungers around after lunch and snack bars was reasonably priced but we did not eat here. In and out bar - we used before going out for the evening a bottle of beer and glass of wine around €6 We did not experience any loud noises late at night as tucked around the corner but our friends did here a few arguments. Location, about 35-40 minutes from Old Town, we walked mainly through the middle street to avoid overflowing bars and mobility scooters along the front. Overall we had a good stay and hotel is in a good location just be careful very late a night as some homeless people loiter on the street and potential pick pockets but we did not encounter any problems.

We went on 11th March for a week half board, only two faults for us, the lifts can be slow and as on front the patio windows not sound proof, I am a light sleeper but room was great, spacious and a fridge too plus cleaned every day. Beds were large and comfy. We loved breakfast and evening meal, the Spanish red paprika sausages are gorgeous plus vast choice of fruits etc and pastries. Hot chocolate in silver urn & churro every morning, can order omelettes too Evening meal was good always different meats, Mexican night plus pizza every night. I had sea bass one night & roast beef another night Good selection of cheeses too, won’t go hungry The pool is fabulous we went in was cold in March The staff were all helpful & my friend left her handbag in restaurant one night but reception had it after I had help via Google translate with security Checkin was slow mind but they have a room for suitcases on day home & room to shower/change Would stay again definitely and kids club/activities look good Big bar and lounge areas too

Great Place in a great location. Good food, clean and tidy rooms. Really nice staff. Went in December so it was not so full.

Animtion team very good and pro active. Zuila was very helpfull. The pool closes at 5pm should be 7pm minimum especially for the kids. Ridiculous we were told to leave the pool area and sunbeds whilst sun is out. Check in bad 4pm when you arrive at 11am? Paid all inclusive and given a guest wrist band so no free booze?

Went on my birthday in April . Very disappointing as the pool was not heated and freezing cold. Left my bag in the toilet by the bar for 2 minutes and had £500 stolen . Staff could not have cared less so unhelpful . Would not even check cctv and dismissed it as if nothing happened . Bed sheets were dirty Queses to check in and out horrendous and the lift broke .
