9 of us are going to Benidorm for the first time in October

We're travelling with Flyglobespan and using their transfer service. They only drop at the Sol Pelicanos and we're staying at the Ambassador. There are two disabled people in our party and I was wondering how far our hotel was from the Pelicanos, is it within walking distance or should we be prepared to get a taxi.
P.S, I know it'll be hard to predict but whats the general consensus re the weather in October?
Thanks in advance of your replys
