Weather : I went to Benidorm on 1st of January this year and we were swimming in the sea it was'nt really hot but it was nice.

Holiday : I had heard many mixed opinions of Benidorm but I loved it I think although I dont have children it would be a great place to take kids and it has a great atmosphere.

Places Recommended : DTs bar in new town Benidorm : everyone in there was so friendly and welcoming . We loved it their and we spent most of our time there.

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes

Weather : IT RAINED FOR 3 DAYS BUT NOT COLD BUT HOT AND SUNNY FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK GOOD SUNBATHING WEATHER

Holiday : HOLIDAY VERY GOOD NOT TACKY OR FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT GET AWAY VERY OFTEN AS THE LAST MAN SAID HE PROBABLY DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO ENJOY HIS SELF

Places Recommended : ALL THE PUBS IF YOUR MAN ENOUGH

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes

Weather : sunny and hot all the time,which can be very wearing on the stamina ,always carry a bottle of water and dont under estimate how ferocious that sun can be

Holiday : we stayed in alicante and a villa in the mountains north of benidorm which was attatched to a golf course
benidorm is very tacky in that blackpool sort of way ,lots of people go there and love it ,but i suspect they are 'budget holiday-makers' who dont get away much - it is naff but its cheap and cheerful ,full of ex-pats who are old and overweight ,if you must have fish and chips and a full english breakfast then benidorm is for you . otherwise avoid it like the plague .you wont get anywere near the beach on a sunny day .go exploring inland or down the coast to alicante whch is a nice city with lots for everyone to do

Places Recommended : the mountains to the north otherwise book a holiday in mallorca ,its fabulous

Recommend Benidorm to others : No

Terry Collins went to Benidorm on
Friday 8th September 2006 for 14 days

Weather : Five days of glorius sunshine with temperatures around 23c, two days of cloud with a little light drizzle and temperatures around 18c.

Holiday : Benidorm is a resort that really can offer something for everyone. It can be like Blackpool with sun or it can be a sleepy little seaside village, it all depends on where you go in the town.

Go to the Rincon end of town, (the new town) and you could be in Blackpool with a myriad of bars, restaurants, showbars and discos.

Go into the old town and get lost in a maze of pavement cafes, fine restaurants tapas bars and quaint little hole in the wall bars.

Wherever you go at night during the day you MUST take a stroll along either the Levante or Poniente beaches, surely two of the finest and cleanest beaches on the mediteranean. The photos with this review are of the Levante and were taken in November.

I usually find that the people who put Benidorm down are those who have never actually been there. Don't for one minute think it is going to be anything like the recent shows on english tv, its not. It's what you make it and in the words of the song "If you can't make it there you'll never make it anywhere".

Give it a try.

Places Recommended : Casa Aragonesa - the finest tapas bar in town.

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes
