5 | Booking Hacks That Actually Work

  1. Mid-week arrivals (Mon–Thu) slash rates ~18% on Port Benidorm and Cimbel deals this June
  2. Set "price alerts" on OTAs—Sol Pelicanos dipped below €45 night last Black Friday
  3. Join free hotel clubs (Meliá Rewards, RH Friends) for instant 5-10% off + welcome cava
  4. Book split-stay: two budget nights + two luxury nights often undercuts four straight nights mid-range

6 | Pro Tips by Hotel Type

Budget Hotels

  • Book direct for free breakfast upgrades and late checkout
  • Avoid sea-view premiums in budget category—you'll be on the beach anyway
  • Check package deals including flights—often cheaper than room-only

Mid-Range Hotels

  • Adults-only properties like Don Pancho offer better sleep quality
  • Book buffet breakfast separately if you're a light eater—saves €15/day
  • Request higher floors for better views without paying sea-view rates

Luxury Hotels

  • Book suites in shoulder season for same price as standard rooms in peak
  • Use hotel concierge for restaurant reservations—they have connections
  • Check spa packages for better value than individual treatments
