The market-inspired concept is designed to bring together familiar Spanish flavours and a more modern dining experience.
For visitors staying around Poniente Beach, the restaurant provides another option for enjoying local-style food without having to travel into Benidorm's Old Town.
Its location also makes it worth considering for holidaymakers exploring the western side of the resort.
Open to visitors as well as hotel guests

Members of the public can also visit, giving tourists and local residents another dining option in the Poniente area.
The opening adds to Benidorm's wide-ranging food scene, which includes everything from traditional Spanish restaurants and seafood specialists to international restaurants and British-style pubs.
