It’s going to be scorching at Benicassim, so booking a hotel makes a lot of sense. The festival runs through the night, and sleeping during the day without air conditioning can be a real struggle. We recommend staying in a hotel or apartment nearby—many resorts are just a 15-minute drive from the site. You can hire a car or use a shuttle or taxi from your accommodation. Book now with Lastminute.com.

Can anyone tell me would there be buses running from the resorts to the festival in the evenings. Thinking of staying at Alcoceber.
Yeah stayed in bersoca last Ur lovely but booked out for nxt yr ahh
i stayed at hotel orange last year.. it was amazing.. closest to venue and close to the beach as well… also a lot of the media and artists use this one.. so if you can get a room do it!!!
I would highly recommend the Voramar
Another one for the bersoca, sold out?? Gutted
Ilove it <3
Stayed at the Marina D’or resort. We good a really good deal on a 4* hotel. There was a shuttle bus to the venue every night. 50 Euros for the full 4 days. Taxi’s cost about 14 here and about 17 back 🙂 easy to get to and from but wouldn’t recommend a taxi after as the cues were huge!!
Stayed in Marina D’or III. Got the train from Barca to Oropesa then a short walk/taxi ride to the hotel. Shuttle bus to the festival cost €60, about a 5 minute walk away from our hotel
We stayed at the Hotel Benicassim and it was fantastic. Cool surroundings and a very relaxed atmosphere, and we walked to the venue that was only 25 mins when we discovered the shortcut. Couldnt be better and would recommend it to anyone.
So it was festival til 3am, sleep, wake up at around 11am (no rush for breakfast) beack, siesta, eats and same again.
Briliant !
We stayed at oasis camping and bungalows in oropesa. Totally recommend it. Journey from barcelona was complete nightmare. Got “organised” bus, got dropped off at side of motorway on outskirts of oropesa with not a clue where we were!!! Campsite ran buses daily to festival for €55 for the 4 days.
We stayed at Marina Dor , the appartment was excellent but taxis very unreliable , we didn’t do shuttle bus as they didn’t start till 6.30 pm and we had family camping at festival so went early in the day , one taxi didn’t turn up at all !! So wouldn’t rely on them , already looking for appartment actually in Benicassim but prices are ridiculas , so prob be marina dor and hire a car next year (as hubby don’t drink much 🙂 )
I stayed in the Marina D’or 4 star hotel was really good value, lovely room right by the beach, great transport to and from the festival, will definitely be staying there again next year!
Marina D’or is the place to stay,got a penthouse apartment right on the beach an don’t bother with official taxi’s there are plenty of locals that will take u 2 an from the festival for the same price,just get there mobile number give them a ring an they come straight away,people cueing for hours for a taxi just baffled me
We stayed in an apartment called San remero right on beach in beni .. 5 min walk to supermarket to stock up on €4 vodka .., 2 mins from beach front and walking to festival site took about 15 mins tops …!!! There was 8 of us staying in apartment , loads of room .. Highly recommend it for convenience etc ….
We stayed in Hotel Gran Duque in Orepesa and couldn’t fault the hotel…..why camp when you can have an air conditioned room!! We used festivals4u for the transfer which I think was about €45 for the 4-days and never had any issues getting to the festival or back. We got the train from Barca to Benicassim -I would recommend booking these tickets in advance as both journeys there and back were full! Great festival 🙂
Apartment in Marina D’or thru booking.com, close to beach, supermarket, own pool, full of other fib ppl so good laugh round pool during day, used locals as taxis paid between €15 – €20 as official taxis were infrequent and q after festival was about 2hr wait!! Loved this festival!!
We stayed in castellon, at Intur Castellon Hotel, highly recommended! 200 quid for 4 nights and a gorgeous breakfast! Defo a hit with the benacassim bands as it seemed a fair few were staying here! (not that I had a clue who they were) anyhow, it cost around 20 euro to get taxis in and out so 4 of us worked out a fiver each! Happy days! We got a train from Barcelona airport for £20 (pre booked) make sure you book as we didn’t book our return train and ended up paying 350 euro for a taxi back to girona oooops!!! One tip DO Not camp!!! Sweltering
That train station on the way home was one of the worst expirences of my life , the whole campsite descending on a little farty station with one assistant that doesn’t speak English – please try and sort it for next year!
We stayed at Bonterra Park in a six person air conditioned bungalow, five minutes to beach and close to a supermarket which kept costs down. Taxis to the festival could be flagged down from the main street but were otherwise in short supply. Would definitely recommend
I have stayed in castellon and orpesa for hotels and used danesp shuttle bus, which organised coaches to and from festival for the four days. Pick ups from five mins walk from popular hotels and dropped off at more hotels on return, coaches literally run non stop there from 6.30pm and return until 7am! Would recommend choosing hotel based on personal preference, castellon is definitely nicer and there’s more available, whilst orpesa is a family orientated resort a bit like a Butlins, so whilst there are cafes and bars it’s all a bit commercial and prices are high, ish, with restaurants ordering cheap quality burgers especially for the fedtival goers! Hotel gran duque is definitely not four star quality, in fact I found the attitude of the staff to be quite rude to anyone with a fib wristband, and I did not enjoy the rules imposed around the pool, only for the English it seemed!! The pools were nice but there was a kids club with activities which just meant that the more boistrous groups were being frowned upon just for having fun! The rooms were small but air con was fab, hotel bar was extremely slow and pool side cafe was ridiculous! Choose a hotel on booking.com now, pay when you get there, book flights ASAP, nearest airport is Valencia, however I booked a hotel with a pool for a night either side of the festival in Madrid (again booking.com) and got the train to beni, the next day, just for some extra relaxation and because flights to madrid are so cheap! Trains across Spain are excellent quality and air conditioned too, and stop at both castellon and orpesa. Booking on the renfe website is a chore though!! I would echo what other people have said, the benicassim train station is a dump, the staff were extremely rude and unhelpful, leaving customers to sit on the street and barking orders, orpesa station is just as bad, and quite a walk to the hotels, castellon is a bigger station, and more professionally run. It depends what sort of holiday you want, for people who still want to be involved with parties etc stay as close to beni as possible, if you like the beach then go to orpesa, and if you like nice food and a better quality go for castellon! For the most of the time you are asleep having partied the night away at fib so whatever you plan to do gets forgotten anyway!! If you shop around and can be bothered to put your own package together then you can still do it all cheaply… There is no way I would camp in that heat!! Taxis are also a bloody nightmare, but locals will tout for business!!
Stayed in rented apartment costa marina III in oropesa. Ideal for a lads holiday, cpl of decent restuarants and supermarket. Beach on ur door step and private pool with mixture of festival goers and spanish. shuttle bus around the corner at 60euro, prob save if u buy online with that. rented apartment was 600 euro, slept 6 lads easily. u must go, awesome
Stayed in Intur Orange in Benicassim. 15 mins walk to festival entrance, nicely broken up with mojitos for 5 euros sold just outside the arena perimeter. Got train from Barcelona to Castellon then further train to Benicassim. Taxi from train station to hotel – all v easy. Difficult to get taxi back to station from the hotel on the Monday morning but train back to Barcelona busy but ok.
Hotel handy for festival site and only 5 mins to beach, supermarket, main part of town. Described as 4star – probably not really but certainly comfortable & nice pool area. Would definitely recommend.
Would suggest booming trains in advance from Barcelona – we didn’t and I think were lucky to get one…..
Is there a date yet for 2013 ?
Yes it starts Thursday 18th.
We always stay hotel avenida,benicassim, bfast ok, pool gr8, good fun round pool in the day, 15 mins walk 2 festival, wldnt camp 2 hot! Gr8 festival 2012 was the best one yet.

Strait 2 reus airport no probs at all – 23 quid. Bargain, got private taxi from valencia 100 euros between 4, was at airport waitin 4 us.

^ she really does love you mate. she wanted to come back to your hotel room but she remembered in the nick of time that she was still on her chlamydia medication
Dianne we flew to Valencia airport,spent 1 night in Valencia (lovely city a must see)then got a taxi to marina D’or (just next to beni)the next day for 100 euro,split between 4 wasint to bad,much easier then messing around with trains then taxis,we flew back from rues an the taxi there was a lil more expensive,so id go for Valencia x
I offer myself as a driver with my car, really cheap comparing taxis, shuttle buses and so on, if you are interested send me a message and i will pick u up and take u !!
we stayed in hotel trinimar, 3star hotel right on the beach! really nice, rooms were grand, breakfast was good too, lovely garden with a pool out the front, staff were really nice also. 5mins from supermarket and restaurants along the beach for dinner and then about a twenty min walk up to festival! so handy getting somewhere within walking distance cos u can go home whenever u like and don’t have to depend on buses or taxis, had to get a taxi home in previous years- queue was hours long!
Should have done that (stay in a hotel).. Cause the campsite sucked big time if you ask me.
I agree with Chantal. Everything was bad about it! The showers, small spaces and the staff!
Gillian Egan where did you book your hotel was it online?
Hi. I’m staying on the outskirts of Castellon and wondering does anyone know where the shuttle bus picks up from?
Has anyone stayed in hostel la font seca ???? It says it’s 5.4 miles away and very cheap but not sure how much taxis will be
might be shuttle buses too
should be a shuttle bus
We’ve booked a room at hotel Tramontana from 15th -22nd July. It’s right on the beach in Benicassim. We no longer need it so if anyone is interested then please reply to this message. Thank you!
