Thanks Danny H,
I did read the reviews and yes, it sounds like it could be the one - except I believe there is a morning rush for a sunbed? I guess this is one thing I might just have to put up with! Maybe better going to the beach? Is the beach clean - I hate beaches with lots of cigarette butts etc? Thanks.

The beaches in Benidorm are spotless and are cleaned every night.

Have a look at Sanji's video in the Video Library at the top of this forum.

How close is the Flamingo Oasis to the beach - if close enough then I wont worry about the pool carry on each morning! Sorry, one more question - how long is the journey from the airport - I have the Tasmanian Devil for a son (aged 4) and need to think of everything!

I agree with Danny. The Flamingo Oasis hotel is ideal for children. The animation team are brilliant with the children and provide lots of competitions for them during the day and a mini disco and games at 8.30 p.m. The bedrooms are big and the food is very good. We returned from this hotel yesterday and saw lots of families with children checking in when we were leaving.

It would be a 10-15 mins walk from the Flamingo Oasis to the beach at Levante.

The transfer should be around 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic for a pivate transfer. Tour operators can very depending on the amount of hotel drop offs, I must admit I hate using the tour opperators as I have once with Airtours/Direct holidays been on the coach waiting 45 mins at the airport then over 2 hours to get to our hotel as we went from La Cala then to the far end of Levente and then we had to get a taxi from the market area to our hotel in the old town. Not very pleasant and we were traveling with our son age 3 who was very lively. Luckily he was asleep at the time. Other times when we have travelled with Thomson/Portland we have had a 1.5 hour journey as they seemed to have dropped off all in on area.I don`t want to worry you but if you can`t stand the possibility of a long transfer book a private one, or ask the rep when you get to the airport how many drop offs before you, you could always go for a taxi if too many (around 60 euros one way). Return transfers never seem as bad, for some reason the Tour opperators seem to get there act together.

Whenever we've used a Private Transfer its never taken us longer than 45 mins. A bit longer than this with Shared Transfer, bus still quicker than Tour Operators Coach.
