Introduction

During our recent trip to Benidorm, we stayed at the well-known Flamingo Oasis, one of the most popular all-inclusive hotels in the area. It’s a large, lively hotel that attracts couples, groups, and families looking for a fun holiday with plenty going on.

Overall, our stay was very enjoyable, with lots of positives, a few small drawbacks, and a great holiday atmosphere throughout.

First Impressions & Check-In

When we arrived, the hotel immediately gave off a busy but welcoming vibe. The reception area is spacious, modern, and well-organised, even when there are lots of guests checking in at once.

The check-in process was smooth and didn’t take too long. Staff were friendly, helpful, and explained everything clearly, including meal times, entertainment schedules, and how the all-inclusive system works.

Right away, it felt like a proper holiday hotel rather than something small or quiet — very much designed for guests who want entertainment and energy.

Location

The hotel is in a good location within Benidorm, not directly on the beachfront but still close enough to reach everything easily by a short walk or taxi.

You’re close to:

It’s a good balance between being near everything without being right in the middle of the loudest areas.

Rooms

The rooms are comfortable, clean, and practical. They’re not ultra-luxury, but they are exactly what you need for a holiday like this.

Inside the room we had:

The rooms are well maintained and cleaned regularly. The beds were comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep after long days by the pool or out exploring.

Depending on your room, you may also get a nice view of the pool area or the surrounding Benidorm skyline, which is a great bonus in the evenings.

Pool Area & Facilities

The pool area is one of the strongest parts of the hotel.

There’s a large main pool surrounded by sunbeds, and although it can get busy, especially in peak times, there is generally a good atmosphere around it.

Things we liked:

The only downside is that like most popular hotels, sunbeds can get reserved early in the morning, so timing is important if you want a good spot.

There are also indoor facilities and entertainment areas, making it a good option even if the weather isn’t perfect.

Food & Dining Experience

The all-inclusive buffet offers a wide variety of food options each day, with different themes and rotating dishes.

There is always:

However, it’s important to be honest — not every dish will suit everyone.

For example, myself (Kye) doesn’t eat fish, and there were a couple of evenings where fish-heavy dishes or limited alternative options meant I personally struggled to find something I enjoyed. Because of this, we ended up eating out of the hotel on a couple of nights.

This isn’t a major issue, but it is something to be aware of if you are a picky eater or have specific preferences. You may want to budget for a few meals outside the hotel just in case, especially if certain themed nights don’t suit you.

That said, many other guests will likely find plenty to enjoy, as the selection is quite broad overall.

Drinks & All-Inclusive Service

The all-inclusive drinks system is efficient and easy to use. There are multiple bars, including the pool bar and main indoor bar.

Drinks are served quickly and staff are generally friendly even during busy periods. There is a good range of soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, and cocktails included in the package.

Entertainment

Evening entertainment is a big part of the Flamingo Oasis experience.

Each night usually includes:

The entertainment team clearly works hard to keep guests engaged, and there is always something happening rather than a quiet or empty evening.

It’s especially good for people who enjoy social holidays rather than quiet, relaxing stays.

Who Is This Hotel Best For?

The Flamingo Oasis is best suited for:

It may be less suitable for people looking for complete peace, luxury-style quiet, or highly gourmet dining experiences.

Final Thoughts

Overall, our stay at Flamingo Oasis was very enjoyable and memorable. It offers a fun, energetic holiday experience with plenty going on day and night.

While the food may not be perfect for everyone — especially if you have specific tastes like myself (Kye) who doesn’t eat fish — the overall experience is still very strong. With a bit of flexibility, including eating out on a couple of nights if needed, it doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the stay.

Final Verdict

We would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Benidorm and looking for a lively all-inclusive holiday.

Rating: 8.5/10 – A brilliant all-round holiday experience with a great atmosphere.
