Magic Cristal Park

Hotel highlights

• Benidorm done right. Magic Cristal Park has loads on offer for you and the kids, from drool-worthy buffets and a technology-packed games room to three kids' clubs for different ages.

• Don't even get us started on the Ultra All-Inclusive package. Premium drinks, beachfront brunch and excursions included (for guests staying 4+ nights). We couldn't believe it either

• Evening entertainment shows you'll want to stick around for, from belting your heart out on the karaoke (we'll join you, singing out Sweet Caroline) to live musicals that'll give Mamma Mia a run for its money

Location

• 7-minute walk from the beachfront (or 5, if you get a wriggle on)

• Around a 40-minute drive from Alicante Airport - pretty much one Netflix series episode of your choice, and you'll be there

Rooms

• These rooms are very much up our street, they each ooze beachy vibes, with light blue and white decor, and a humongous beach canvas.

• Whether you're solo-tripping, with the whole fam, or wanting to treat the other half to a jolly, there are Single Rooms, Standard Double Rooms, Junior Rooms, Junior Premium Rooms, Master Premium Rooms, and the grand Presidential Suite

• Each room is kitted out with:

  • Air conditioning

  • FREE Wi-Fi

  • Bath amenities

  • Satellite TV

  • Safe (extra charge)

Some room types also come with a balcony or terrace.

Food & Drink

• Los Espejos - a laidback buffet restaurant with plenty of choice, from international goodies, and local Spanish fare

• Granada - a second buffet option with international dishes and Mediterranean dishes, even the fussiest of eaters will find something tasty here

• Four Bars - serving cocktails, beer, and soft drinks for a pre-dinner drinkie, or a poolside beer. If you're feelin' snackish, there's plenty of options to tie you over before lunch or dinner

Just so you know, this hotel doesn't accept group bookings with more than two rooms under the same name - even if the reservations have different reference numbers. For family bookings, we advise booking two rooms and then booking the third and fourth rooms separately, under a different lead name. The hotel may cancel reservations with more than two rooms under the same name.
