Luxury Theme Hotel

a style that invokes ethnic Africa

We often talk about how Benidorm is upping both its image and hotel facilities and just to prove the point another luxury and somewhat unusual hotel has just officially opened its doors to the public.

The Hotel Magic Rock Gardens is a 'theme' hotel of the type one might expect to see in Las Vegas and is decorated in a style that invokes ethnic Africa. With giant rocks at the entrance, corridors like caves, lush tropical plants, waterfalls and lakes, and staff kitted out in safari style, the hotel, formerly known as the Tropicana Gardens, has been a year in transformation and has cost a cool €6 million to convert.

It won't come as any surprise to learn that management are targeting the family market to fill the 530 new places on offer, with two pools, a splash zone, and special family entertainment in Benidorm's newest 4 star hotel.
