Hi

I have been reading this site all afternoon and have read most of the reviews for the hotels in Benidorm but I am still not 100% sure which hotel to book.

We are looking to fly out on 4/10/08 (or can do mid week, as long as we are there for 5th October) and stay for 7 nights. Airport can be any of the London ones or Norwich.

My party consists of 2 adults under 30, another 2 adults, one who will be 70 (hence the holiday) & one who is 74 and 2 children aged 5 & 11.

We will need 2 rooms preferably adjoining and the second room for the older adults will again preferably have twin beds.

I have looked at Flamingo Oasis but am a bit put off about the kids at meal times, the leaks and also the fact that there are 25 floors and what if the lifts break down. I also like the sound of Mediterrano but again a very mixed lot of reviews.

I'm not sure if it is best to go AI or SC, I have not taken my children abroad for years. I am vegetarian and the rest of the party are vegetarians in training - I'm worried the AI won't have much choice.

So can anyone help with a hotel that will suit us all, ideally it would have entertainment on site so we don't have to walk far in the evenings and plenty for the children to do.

Budget is probably up to £2500.

Thanks for your help
