What guests think

At Sol Pelicanos Ocas, travellers praise the large, lively pool areas and convenient location near the beach and nightlife, with many noting clean rooms and friendly staff, family activities, and plenty of sunbeds that make relaxing by the water easy.

Recurring downsides include very slow or unreliable lifts and occasional delays at check-in. Food feedback is mixed: breakfast is often good, but hot dishes can be lukewarm or overcooked, variety uneven, and drinks at lunch or dinner are not included on half board. Rooms are generally basic and somewhat dated, with limited soundproofing that can allow noise from corridors or nearby nightlife. Expect a pool-focused stay with a busy vibe rather than premium rooms or quiet evenings.

Facilities

Expansive pool areas are a highlight, with plenty of loungers and, for some stays, a swim-up bar. However, lifts are repeatedly slow or inoperative, and a few guests note off-season pool bar closure, early pool closing times, or slippery/unclean poolside tiles.

Rooms were really clean and serviced daily. Beds comfy and spacious. Mini fridge which is always handy and wall mounted TV( mostly Spanish channels) but not a deal breaker for us. Main Pool is beautiful ( we counted 2 in Pelicanos and 2 in Ocas) and a diddy pool for toddlers. Sunbeds plenty. Few taggers as usual but really no need. Food was nice and options for all pallets. Great bars all close by and short stroll to beach. 3rd visit here and definitely return again.

I booked this hotel mainly for the pool. It's excellent and has to be the best in Benidorm! The rooms are fine the beds are comfortable. Good location to not be in the whole Action however only down the road from it.

Stayed here in February off peak season for my 40th birthday. We liked the hotel and it was booked mainly because it was where they filmed the TV series ‘Benidorm’ which I enjoyed. The pool area was nice but obviously the pool a bit chilly because it’s February! However, the pool is open if you want to use it. Have to be brace as it’s a bit chilly! And the pool bar was shut as off peak time of year. Makes me want to come back in the summer! Hotel was nice and decent rooms with balcony we had one overlooking the pool. Was all good for the price! Friendly staff too and helpful. Great snack bar with HUGE portions of food. Was pleasantly surprised. We only saw the hotel entertainment once as we usually visited the Morgan Tavern over the road. The hotel entertainment on the night we went was ok, not really for us. All in all, nice hotel and staff. Nothing fancy but very suitable for what we wanted for a week in Benidorm in February.

First time to Benidorm, and first visit at the Sol Pelicanos. A couple of negatives, check in was very slow but I think they had issues with the computers, so you maybe best if you can check in online before you get there. Also the sound proofing was very poor between rooms, first morning we could hear nextdoor being violently sick for around 20 minutes! Positives, very clean and the breakfast choice was excellent and good quality.

Stayed here with a group of male friends. The property did everything we needed it to do for us and the pool area and public areas were good. The breakfast was adequate and plentiful but we wished there’d been a better selection of fresh fruit. What fruit there was often ran out and they weren’t quick to replace it. There was some mould around the bath and the balcony door didn’t lock but we were on the 10th floor and we rented a safe, so it didn’t matter too much. I would stay here again if I was in Benidorm for a few days.

The hotel is ok, but a bit dated now Check in is unusually late in the day at a strict 4 pm in the afternoon Lady at check in was horrible. Strangely unfriendly for a hotel staff. I went to the pool and just kept being followed by a security guy until I left Room was dated. A few broken bits and the shower was broken and a bit of mold on the head All in all. It’s just the unfriendly environment And having to pass through prostitution ally to get to the main entertainment area didn’t help either

We stayed in the pelicanos hotel in August 2025 for 5 nights. The hotel was very noisy! People coming and going all night long banging doors, had to go to reception at 04.30am as neighbours came in arguing, the hotel staff did deal with this swiftly, security banging on door within 5 minutes of me reporting it, and resolved issue. I should have realised it would have been noisy, considering the hotel was located at the start of the main nightlife strip. Did speak with others who said they didn't have any issues. Food was only OK. I don't normally have issues with the dining, but did struggle to find food I liked. The toast machines was very slow, had to put toast through 4 times (approximately 5 mins) to get it toasted. Kitchen staff were slow and didn't seem very interested in helping. People were waiting 10 minutes for an omelette. Front door to hotel was out of use for entire duration of stay. Room was good and bed was comfy, with the exception of the shower getting very hot intermittently, be very careful if you put young children in the shower. The room cleaner was excellent, as always. The pool was excellent and plenty of beds, entertainment staff very friendly. I know some points may feel trivial, but collectively can have an overhaul impact on your stay.

The staff are unfriendly unhelpful and the security especially around the pool area are intrusive and intense which makes relaxing by the pool difficult. We even got told off for sitting at a 4 chaired table for breakfast when there was only two of us and the dinning room was virtually empty but we were still told to move to a two chaired table. My friends were stuck in the lift, another friend had there bag stolen by cleaner, you are only allowed to smoke in one small corner of the hotel or on your balcony if you could afford to pay extra for a balcony. The food wasn't great the only real positive of this hotel was the location. It's over priced and I really wouldn't recommend this hotel or be returning to it.

The room was a very good size, i travelled as solo traveller and was more than satisfied with the room. Good water pressure in the shower and clean. The food i was very happy with, plenty of option's to keep u happy all week, one issue i hadn't realised was on half board basis u dont get drinks as part of the meal which was disappointing. U do at breakfast get coffee,tea, and other soft drinks however. The area is 5 mins walk from the beach which is long and clean and takes about 30 mins walk to the old town which is lovely. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby and it isnt too noisy considering the main strip is 10 mins away. One issue is there are constant homeless people sat on the path outside. Id definitely recommend it for families and small groups, couples

El recepcionista Luismi atendió mis sugerencias y se esforzó en darme una habitación que las cumpliera. El buffet es correcto, sin más. Si no tienes todo incluido, hay que pagar las bebidas. Estancia agradable. Buena relación calidad/precio.

It is a bit old fashioned now and needs a big upgrade. Food choice and service was basic Spanish orientated and not catered towards the mainly British guests (not really a problem for me). Breakfast was lukewarm at best and sporadic regarding rotation of the food and not keeping up with demand. We expected more quality for the price we paid.

Ik vind de ligging van de hotel is goed. Goed bereikbaar met de bus naar het centrum. Strand is op het loop afstand. Zwembad is heel erg groot en met de bar. Heel erg leuk. 3 zwembaden gebben ze. Wordt alles in de gaten gehouden. Veilig dus! Hotel is best wel schoon, maar de gasten maken snel vies. Heel veel gezinnen met kinderen. Ze maken veel lawaai. Wat we minder leuk vinden. We hebben volpensoen genomen. En mogen geen drinken pakken bij de lunch en dinner. We moeten die tegen betaling. We kregen alleen het water. Dit hebben we nergerns anders meegemaakt!
