How far is Regente Hotel Benidorm from the beach?

The most consistent figure across booking platforms and guest reviews is a walk of around 10 minutes. Booking.com gives the straight‑line distance as 1,950–2,300 feet (595–700 metres) and notes actual walking routes may be longer. Spanish‑language reviews on Hotels.com repeat the “10‑minute walk” description, and Centraldereservas guests confirm the same. A few sources, such as The Benidorm Guide, round the distance to 600 metres, while another meta‑listing gives 1.3 km – the variation likely depends on which access point to Levante Beach you use. The bottom line: you can expect a comfortable 10‑minute stroll to the sand.

Where is Hotel Regente Benidorm?

The hotel’s official address is Calle Mónaco, 5, in the Rincón de Loix area of Benidorm. That places it about 1.5–1.7 km from the town centre according to Booking.com, and roughly 8 km from Benidorm railway station (per Rome2Rio). Rincón de Loix sits in the Levante district – a busy corridor of hotels, bars and restaurants that is quieter than the immediate seafront but still very central. The Benidorm Palace entertainment venue is within walking distance, and the Old Town is roughly another 20–30 minutes along the promenade once you reach the beach.

What type of rooms are at Medplaya Regente?

All rooms are doubles fitted with twin beds (some can be pushed together). According to Booking.com, the hotel offers twin, double, single and suite categories. A detailed guide on The Benidorm Guide lists 187 standard twins and 8 premium rooms spread over nine floors. Every standard twin includes an en‑suite bathroom with shower, satellite TV, direct‑dial telephone, optional rental safe, air‑conditioning/heating, and a balcony or terrace – most overlooking the pool or garden. Premium rooms add a hairdryer, bathrobes and slippers. Housekeeping changes towels on request and bed linen once per week.

What’s the best hotel to stay in Benidorm?

There is no single “best” – it depends on your priorities. The Medplaya Hotel Regente performs strongly as a mid‑market option: its 8.2 / 10 on Booking.com (with sub‑scores of 8.6 for cleanliness, 8.3 for facilities and value) place it well above the average for 4‑star Benidorm hotels. TripAdvisor reviewers consistently mention its handy location – a short walk from both the beach and the main strip but outside the loudest nightlife zone. For travellers who prioritise a balance of cost, comfort and a central yet restful setting, this hotel is a sound choice.
