MARGARET DICKSON went to Benidorm on
Monday 1st June 2009 for 7 days

Weather : We were pretty unfortunate with the weather!
We arrived on Tues. 23rd September 08 to heavy rain and thunder.
It rained Wed,Thurs,Fri,Sat &Sun with a few sunny intervals for the odd hour or so inbetween but it was glorious on the Monday & Tuesday... of course.. the day we were going back!!

Holiday : The holiday was quite hectic, not enough sleep and out 'til early hours every night!
It was certainly lively and we had a brilliant time - despite the weather!
I was glad to get home though and get some sleep!
If it's a fun time you want, you can't beat a bit of Beni!
If it's a nice quiet, relaxing time you want, there's plenty other places in Spain to choose from.

Places Recommended : The nightlife in Benidorm is terrific - that's what you really go for.
A visit to Terra Mittica theme park is well worth a going to with friends or family - plenty of rides to go on and there's a good amount of excursions to choose from.

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes

Weather : I have visited Benidorm twice so far this year.
The first time was in February and the second time was in April.
Both times the weather was lovely.
It does get a bit chilly on the odd nights but i suppose you dont feel that after the sangria!

Holiday : The hotel Rio Park was really nice and was really busy for a period that was outside of peak season.

The second time in Benidorm this year was with a group of 5 of my friends.
We had the wildest time ever!
The night life is brilliant, we would start in Loch Ness, then walked round to rockys bar and then stayed on the square till 7am!!

I love Benidorm!

Places Recommended : Loch Ness Bar, Chrissy Rock Comedian, Champions Bar, Crazy Golf,

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes

Weather : Gorgeous.
We had our break mid October and it was lovely.
It was cool in the morning until about 11 (still warm enough for shorts though) which made shopping great because it was'nt too hot.
We were then able to sun bathe and get a tan :) and it then started cooling down again around 5ish.
Worked out perfect as we were only there 4 days so it matched exactly what we were after.

Holiday : Very relaxing.
We were right in the middle of the shopping area which meant we were able to have a nice stroll during the morning after breakfast, relax by the pool or beach in the afternoon and then get a quick taxi ride to 'the square' for the nightlife.
It was brill not having our hotel in the middle of the pubs and clubs as it meant we had different scenery during the day to what we had at night...always good!!

Places Recommended : I'd recommend the old town for culture as you are mixing with the local Spanish people.
The bay in between the Lavente and Pontiente beach for the shopping and the far end of Lavente beach for the nightlife.
Benidorm is such a great place and has all sorts that its better to try it for yourself.
Everybodys' tastes are different so whether you are after a hot version of Skegness or a culture filled holiday with lots to explore, Benidorm has it. There are also, as usual, lots of activities and things to do to cover the energetic ones!

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes

Weather : We went for 4 weeks and all of the time it was really sunny and it was so hot I cant describe it !!!!!!!!!!!

Holiday : There was lots of things to do and that is the best place to go for family holiday! there is 3 water parks in the city and they and all 4 and 5 star!!!!!!!! It was GREAT!!!

Places Recommended : The Hotel Pebelo was amazing !!!
Food was better than any other place that any place could can offer! The hotel rooms are devine!!!
It has 2 bedrooms and three sofa beds in the lounge it had a very nice kitchen with an oven, microwave, a kettle and all the other facilties you would need.
There are 3 pools one for babies and the other two for any other people. there is water sports on for adult and children all day everyday and there is a kids clud on everyday for 6 to 15 year olds.
There is a tennis court there and a volleyball court.
There is an adult club during the day you have to be 17 or over to join in.
The activites are darts, rifle shooting, volleyball, tennis and water work outs.
Both clubs are run from 9.30 to 3.00 and if you want to just relax on your own you dont have to keep joining in. (the clubs are free.) So i would recomend this to everyone looking for a GREAT AND FUN holiday hotel.

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes

Weather : The weather was fantastic, we went the back end of August 07 and it was red hot! great clear blue skies, apart from one day it was drizzling, and was pouring down the night we got there. but the weather was fabulous during the day!

And the Titanic bar was great and served nice food!

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes

Weather : The weather is great I have been 4 times now in the past 2 years and each time it has been sunny and warm.
If you are going in November just be aware that at night time it can get really cold, but its lovely during the day.

Holiday : I had a great time each and every time i have been and im going back this year and the next.
I like benidorm because you can be near all the clubs and bars yet have a totally different atmosphere.
You can go to cafe benidorm and thats more of a dancing type of place yet you can go to Sinatras and it (to me) feels more relaxed.
I love it its like a second home.

Places Recommended : Mundomar is a good place to go, the ship cafe nice and down to earth and great if your missing your english grub. western saloon fab bar.
Great acts

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes

Weather : Been going to benidorm now for 8 years,and been lucky, never had bad weather yet.
If it does rain it's still hot and the rain does not stay on for long.

Holiday : We always enjoy Benidorm
Been all over Spain since the early 70s.
Most people you speak to ,will tell you they have been to Benidorm on holiday more than once.
We still find different places to go.
Like most places in the world you get your scruffy and beautiful.
We'll never stop going.

Places Recommended : Too many places to mention just go with the flow.
Our favourite bars are San Remo a cocktail bar facing the Poniente beach, where Juan Danny make you very welcome.(Great Atmosphere)
Also the Jarrow Lad facing the beach were Derrick Jacki not forgetting Kieron, offer more of the same.(2 Great Bars)

Stella went to Benidorm on
Sunday 15th June 2008 for 14 days

Weather : Had great weather EVERYTIME I have been (twice a year for last 7 years) although we did have a little bit of rain in october 07 it was still pleasantly warm .

Holiday : Benidorm can be as tacky or as upmarket as you want to make it! yes you can liken it to Blackpool but where in Blackpool do you find pure white sands,a sea thats crystal clear,a water park that is 2nd to none,wildlife parks,theme parks and best of all a pint of ice cold beer for 1 euro?
So anybody who says its like Blackpool hmmmmm I suggest a trip to the north west in the near future before you have the cheek to drag benidorm down!
The hotels are high so its best to make reservations early if you have children just to get a lower floor!
And don't worry about the cuisine over there because there is a place to suit all pallets and all at reasonable prices! enjoy.

Places Recommended : The Ritch Bitch is a hysterically funny night out....Mundomar Animal Park....Aqualandia Waterpark...Terra Mitica....etc etc etc
There is so much to do and see in Benidorm,just make sure you don't book a week because there is no way you will fit in all the delights of Benidorm

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes

Denise Mccafferty went to Benidorm on
Saturday 12th May 2007 for 7 days

Weather : When I went Benidorm it was really warm it wasn't too hot that you can't sit in the sun it was just lovely. I came home with a really good suntan so that means it was quite hot.

Holiday : I went with my Nanna and Grandad and it was really good.
I love Benidorm because it quite cheap.
It is good for kids because of the things to do and it also good for teenagers as I am myself I really enjoyed this holiday and met loads of friends.
I stayed in the Hotel Puablo which is a great hotel and there was lots to do for kids.
The night life is top in Benidorm as I love singing on the karaoke, every pub or club I went in had Karaoke nights on.
It was also good for my Nanna and Grandad because they love playing bingo and there is a lot of pubs that do bingo as well. I would really recommend Benidorm because me, my Nanna and Grandad love it so much we go at least 3 times a year.

Places Recommended : My favourite pub is the Cumberland because there is always something going on and my Nanna and Grandad know the owner.
I would also recommend the Waterpark for young and old.

Recommend Benidorm to others : Yes

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
