The Hotel Don Pancho, Adults Only (16+), starting in May 2018

Dearest Friends of the Hotel Don Pancho,

We would like to share with you that starting in May 2018, the Don Pancho will become an Adults Only (16+) hotel.

We made this decision after listening very closely to our guests; over the last few years, the vast majority of you shared with us their wish of having the Don Pancho cater exclusively to an adult audience. We listened, and have now made your wish our command.

Our goal with this decision is to focus ALL our attention on a very specific type of guest:  the type of guest who values peace and relaxation above all. We believe that with our focus, the Hotel Don Pancho will become an Oasis of Peace like no other in Benidorm.

We are aware that this type of decision can never meet everyone's expectations and that there will be guests who don´t share our new approach. To all current and past guests with children, our most sincere apologies; nothing is further from our purpose than to upset those families who have placed so much trust on us.

And to you, little ones, who have been coming to our hotel year after year, please know that in a few years, once you turn 16, we will be waiting for you and your families with open arms. We will show you then that our hotel is even better than you remembered as a child.

Our Oasis of Peace objective extends past children, to any groups that may disturb the well-being of our guests, such as stag and hen parties and ‘celebration-type’ groups. There are plenty of other hotels in Benidorm that cater to such audience. But not the Don Pancho. Please be assured that will do our very best to discourage such groups.

Thank you very much for all your continued support during this exciting journey together. This is an amazing time; we are confident that the new Adults Only Hotel Don Pancho will shine brighter than ever for all our guests for many, many years to come.

Kind Regards,

The Don Pancho Team

Tired of winter? Let´s welcome springtime!

Easter is just around the corner!

Starting a few days ago, the Earth’s axis tilts neither toward the Sun nor away from it. That’s why there’s a roughly the same amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. Hence the equinox. The days also become a little longer in our hemisphere because it takes the sun longer to rise and set.

Since the development of humanity, almost every culture in the world celebrates the beginning of spring. It is, after all, the season of new beginnings, when at last we achieve the liberation from the harsh winter. There are a lot of religious holidays that take place around the spring equinox to usher in the season. For example, Jewish people celebrate Passover to mark the liberation from slavery, and in the Christian Church, Easter is one of the most important and oldest festivals, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This year, Easter falls on April 16.

Thus, springtime reminds us aspirations of rebirth, renewal, rejuvenation or regrowth. Flowers sprout everywhere, and the new life makes its way like a chick that breaks the eggshell.

Blooming almond tree, beautiful scenery near Benidorm.

At the Hotel Don Pancho we consider that it is time to let yourself be carried by these vivifying feelings, and to take advantage of Easter holidays to reconnect with good weather, with nature, with light… with life.

In fact, this is the first Easter for us after the massive refurbishment that the hotel has gone through just a few months ago. Everything in this iconic hotel is brand new, except the staff and service, which remain as unique as ever. We are located just few steps away from famed Levante beach and close to numerous shops and restaurants, but we also think of ourselves as a peaceful and tranquil oasis among the crowds. Appointed with beautiful and comfortable accommodations, charming ambiance and the most qualified staff, Hotel Don Pancho remains the hotel for everyone searching for an escape from the ordinary.

In regards to our surroundings, what could we add that has not been said before? Benidorm is located in a privileged natural environment and blessed with a micro-climate which produces good weather all year round. In addition, the city offers endless entertainment possibilities, for all ages and tastes, whether you fancy a beach holiday, a cultural visit, a getaway break or beautiful nature walks. The decision is yours.

Beyond this cosmopolitan atmosphere, you can still find the marvelous narrow streets of the old fishing town, where some traditions and typical dishes remain exactly the same. Also you can find the processions of the Holy Week, a very strong cultural and religious practice that take place during the days before Easter.

Here is a link to the Timetable for the Processions of the Holy Week:

Traditional Spanish Easter pastry with a boiled egg in the middle, called “mona de Pascua”. It is tradition to eat it on Easter Monday.

In conclusion, at the Hotel Don Pancho we offer luxurious accommodation with numerous high quality extras, from our exquisite cuisine to our Thai massages. Everything you need to enjoy a total relaxation and rejuvenation experience this Easter, as the Equinox dictates.
