Or as many of the criteria above as possible.

Thank you!

Old Town or New Town?

I don't even know the answer!

The Melia might work.

Fair enough!

New Town is the ‘British’ area which has the strip running through it

Old Town is the more traditional Spanish area

My elderly parents enjoy tapas and eating out in Spanish restaurants. They also like bars with - as dad would say - ‘acts on’.

I'm going with them. Benidorm wouldn't be my choice if I am honest.

People tend to have a preference for one or the other - it’s better explained on this thread: https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g187525-i191-k2840815-Old_Town_New_Town-Benidorm_Costa_Blanca_Province_of_Alicante_Valencian_Community.html

For Spanish restaurants / tapas, the Old Town would be better but for the bars and some of your other requirements the New Town would be better.

I think the RH Princesa might fit the bill though, apart from the beach side

It’s well located for both Old and New Town.

Thanks @cherryassam - I will read up!

My parents have been before - usually self catering. I'm trying to find a hotel that I would like too, so that if I'm going to suggest we (DH and I) go to help them, at least I have a hotel I like.

It would have to be school holidays too - October half term - so a gym and indoor pool would help if the weather isn't so good.

No problem! I book a lot of trips to Benidorm for people - so if you’ve got any questions just let me know.
