The Don Pancho hotel is just about in the centre of everything, close to the Sunday and Wednesday market, bus stop straight outside hotel for Altea, Albir, Old Town, Finestratt, Carrefour and the bus to the train/tram station for Vilajoisa, Alicante, Calpe and Denia. The Don Pancho has become a Thomson Platinum hotel since our last stay, I would say that the food in the dinning room has just moved up a notch. All the rooms face the sea, although some of the views are restricted you can see the sea, the balconies are a real sun trap during the winter months, from about 11 to 3.30 ish you will struggle to sit on the balcony, too hot, although the temperature can drop 10 degrees in half an hour. Our room had a wooden floor, but still had a bath, I understand that some of the new bathrooms only have a shower, the water at whatever time of the day was always scalding. The trio Fashion in the cabaret lounge are very pleasant to listen to, there is usually a show for about half an hour from 10.30 - 11 p.m., flamenco, singer, dancing etc, at the weekend lots of local spanish people visit the hotel, very entertaining, interesting if you like to people watch. Lots of the staff have worked at the hotel for a long time, all in all for me the best hotel in Benidorm.
