Apartamentos Palasiet Benidorm
Budget apartments with parking and pets welcome
About this hotel
Cooking your own meals sounds like extra work on a water park holiday, but for a family staying a week or two near Aqualandia, a self-catering apartment can cut the daily cost noticeably compared to a full-board hotel, and Apartamentos Palasiet Benidorm is built around exactly that trade-off. Free parking removes the added cost of a garage for anyone driving in, and the pet-friendly policy means a dog does not force a change of plans before the trip is even booked. At 390 reviews and a 7.6 rating, it has a smaller track record than Benidorm's largest resorts, which fits its identity as a practical, lower-cost base rather than a big all-inclusive name with a spa attached.

Our take
Budget apartments, free parking and pets welcome is a specific combination that will matter enormously to some travellers and not at all to others. For a longer stay where cost adds up fast, self-catering makes a real difference, and doing without hotel-style extras is a fair trade for keeping a week near Aqualandia affordable. The smaller review count means less certainty than a 5,000-review resort, but 7.6 across 390 opinions is still a workable signal for a straightforward budget stay.
- ✓Check what kitchen equipment is actually provided before relying on it for a full week of self-catering.
- ✓Bring a cool bag for the drive down if travelling with a pet and stopping along the way, and confirm any pet fees ahead of arrival.
- ✓Shop for groceries early in the stay rather than daily, since a longer self-catering trip is where the budget saving really adds up.

Why guests love itWe booked two weeks near Aqualandia, which would have added up fast at a full-board hotel, so the self-catering setup at Apartamentos Palasiet Benidorm made the trip actually affordable. Having a kitchen meant we only ate out a few times, and the free parking mattered since we drove down with our dog rather than flying. It is not a resort, and with only 390 reviews it took a bit more reading to feel confident booking, but for what we needed, an affordable base for a long stay with the dog, it worked out well. 7.6 seems fair for what it is.
