A good toddler holiday usually involves less rushing, more shade and somewhere convenient to return for a rest. In Benidorm, the location of your accommodation can make more difference than a long list of facilities.
Book around your daily routine
Look for manageable routes between your hotel, meals and the beach. Ask about cot availability, room space, lift access and food storage if you need it. A family room label does not automatically mean a separate sleeping area.
Keep beach visits short and flexible
Take shade, water, sun protection and what you need for a quick change. Follow beach flags and lifeguard advice. Choose a comfortable spot near facilities rather than the longest possible walk with a buggy and a small person who has suddenly forgotten how legs work.
Check attractions before paying
Read height restrictions, seasonal dates and buggy arrangements for the specific attraction. Consider whether your child will use enough of the activities to justify the ticket. A promenade stroll and a playground stop can sometimes be the winning day.
Make evenings work for everyone
Book dinner at a time that suits your child and keep an easy route home. Check whether entertainment venues welcome children for the session you want. Save your hotel address and agree a meeting point before going into busy areas.
