Glad to hear that the hotel is fine, am going on sunday for 12 nights what is the sunbed situation like, last time was a nightmare getting one after 9.30. Also how much are the safety deposit boxes cannot remember from last time we went.

No problem getting a sunbed....Michelle the sol rep does a towel run at 9ish and removes any unattended towels so if you go after she's been round there will be plenty of spare beds as she usually has armfulls of towels.....there was also a stack to the right of the pool bar still there when we were going off the beds at 4.30pm
Saftey deposit boxes are 15 europer week and you get 5 euro back at the end of the week when you return the key

Well arrived home on Friday and had a great holiday. Was in the Ocas was disappointed at first but glad we were meal times no queues could get a clean table anytime we went to eat. Few stag/hen partys but only at weekends and no problems at all with noise. The only problem was the sun beds the management kept swapping the times that the towels were taken off the poor towel girl was telling everyone what time she was going round so everyone knew what time to be on their beds then the management were then going down to her and saying you take them off at a different time, so in the end we could not eat breakfast together as one of us had to sit with the sunbed so we didnt loose it.

Well that's the Sun for you, the way I read it today looked like all doom and gloom. Perhaps anyone returning could leave a note for everyone who is due there.

We were on our way back to the airport and people were discussing the fire; apparently guests had to leave the hotel for a little while but pretty sure everything was ok at the end!!!!!

We walked into the pelicanos because we were told thats where they film Benidorm; so had a look around. It looks fantastic and the large pool is one of the best I have seen in benidorm. Hope your enjoy your holiday!!!

What a great hotel, we had a top floor triple room which was almost identical to the one in Sanji's video but about 6 feet longer, the view was great the pictures don't really do it justice.

I suggested driving to the beach but was only joking :) (I really only wanted to stay in the pool :D )
To take round the pool we bought a large bag of ice which I use occasionally to ease back pain, as it melted we drank it. The only time we were stopped was when walking in with a bottle of sun cream in a carrier bag.

The pool is awesome and the aquarobics sessions are great fun, trying to do the "YMCA" in water is not easy but a good laugh.

They do not have haidryers in the rooms, you need to ask for one at reception.

You have to leave a small deposit on the hair dryer and have to book it for a certain time earlier in the day, you have it for one hour and get the deposit back
