You could try these hotels, they have ramps to get in and have lifts so would be OK for wheelchairs:

The Calypso; The Ambassador; The Marina; The Orange; The Pueblo, The Venus;, all not far from the promenade - there are probably many others.   Good luck,

Teneriffe is very hilly - Benidorm where I have mentioined the hotels is a flat area.

The old town of Benidorm is not a flat area and you will be pushing her up and down hills if you elect to go or stay in the old town - I would give that a miss.

The Poniente beach area is the area I am quoting and it is flat.   Another thing, I hire a double electric wheelchair from Amigo24 as my husband has COPD and has walking difficulties.   I get on the back as it is not much more to hire the double as the single.    Problem with most of the hotels is that they will not let you in the hotel or car park to store an electric wheelchair.   The Riviera hotel let's you park them in their car park over the road with your own reserved spot if you hire it via the Riviera Hotel when you book.    But you may well want to stick with the push wheelchair - just thought I would mention it.   Any more help feel free to get back to me any time, not a problem.
