Dynastic Hotel, Benidorm

The hotel has secured a spot in Benidorm's quieter Rincon de Loix area. That said, it is just a few minutes' walk from bars, restaurants and shops. And Levante Beach is less than 10 minutes' away. There is a double helping of pools at the heart of this place, plus a heated one inside. The spa is worth a mention, too, for its all-the-works treatment list*, involving ingredients like pearls, gold and chocolate.
