IDEAL 1, Benidorm Overview
IDEAL 1 is located in Benidorm, Spain. Rated 9.2 out of 10 based on 16 guest reviews.
IDEAL 1 is a well-reviewed stay in Benidorm, Spain, where guests value the practical comforts and the calm, non-smoking environment. With a guest rating of 9.2/10 from 16 reviews, it’s the kind of place people tend to mention for consistency: rooms are disinfected between stays, cleaning follows effective coronavirus standards, and staff adhere to local safety protocols. Check-in runs from 3:00 PM to midnight, while check-out is at 11:30 AM, which helps if you’re planning a full day on the coast.
The address on Calle Alcalde Manuel Catalán Chana 7, BLOQUE II, PISO 18, LETRA F places you in a residential block, so you’re close enough for beach days while still having a quieter base to return to. In Benidorm, Levante Beach is about 600 metres away, and that makes it easy to fit in morning swims, late lunches, and evening strolls along the promenade. If you’re looking for bigger outings, Casino Mediterráneo Benidorm is around 1.5 km, and Aqualandia is roughly 3.5 km—both good for mixing relaxation with entertainment.
What stands out for many travelers is the combination of air conditioning for warm afternoons, a swimming pool for downtime, and a terrace where you can unwind between plans. Parking is free, and offsite parking is available with discounted rates, which suits road-trip friendly guests. Best for families and groups who want an easy, beach-focused base in Benidorm with straightforward logistics and a strong track record of cleanliness.
