A Health & Fitness club is about 700 yards away; it offers beauty and spa treatments, a multi-training gym, an indoor swimming pool, external tennis courts, and a bar and restaurant. It is possible to obtain discounted prices for Terra Mitica, two water parks and two safari/zoo parks, as well as the two Villaitana golf courses and also a new pitch and putt golf course which is only 2 minutes from our house.
The nearest Blue Flag beach (Poniente) is only 6 minutes away by car, and offers free parking all day on adjacent roads. It is cleaned every night, and there are numerous sunbeds and parasols for hire. A wide choice of snack bars, shops and restaurants are nearby, and these offer very good value for money. Levante beach and Benidorm Old Town are slightly further away, and the area is more commercialised, with a huge choice of shops, bars and restaurants. However, on street parking is €1.20 for 2 hours, and can be difficult to obtain during July and August.
A new 5 star hotel, the Asia Gardens, opened on 1st July 2008; it offers 2 high-quality restaurants and two bars. Opposite the Asia Gardens, another high quality restaurant opened in June 2008. The Benidorm Palace offers a superb world-class entertainment programme and excellent food. However, the entertainment commences at 10pm, and usually finishes about 12.45am, so be prepared for a late night! It is excellent value for money, and is highly recommended. Comprehensive information about a wide range of events and activities in the Benidorm area can be found on the Benidorm-Spotlight.com website. Since Benidorm is a very active holiday resort every month of the year, and offers something for every visitor, this website can help you plan your holiday to make the most of the local facilities.
We try to provide additional services such as towels and two lightweight sunbeds which can be taken to the swimming pools and/or the beach; also hair-driers, liquid soap, detergent for the dishwasher and washing machine, and teabags, instant coffee and even toilet rolls! This means less weight to carry in your suitcases! In addition, we provide a range of Dvds and books if you wish to have an evening at home. However, there are no additional hidden charges, as the advertised rental charges are 'all-inclusive'. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate pets.
Golf:
It is possible to obtain discounted prices for local golf courses, which can be booked and paid for in advance of your holiday. However, during June, July and August, Villaitana (the former Real de Faula golf complex designed by Jack Nicklaus) offers excellent discounts which can be booked at very short notice on each of the two golf courses. Good prices are available for the hire of Ping golf clubs and also golf buggies, and there is a driving range and putting green for pre-match practice.
Alternatively, you can play on an excellent pitch and putt course which is situated in attractive woodland overlooking Benidorm, and is only 2 minutes from our townhouse. The shortest hole is about 60 metres, and the longest hole is about 110 metres long. A round costs €25, and it is possible to obtain 20% discount with a Resident's card.
