Benidorm, Spain: Holiday review

  • my benidorm holidays

    Review by: Anonymous

    Weather

    Myself and my partner have been visiting Benidorm for the past 22 years, and have spent 40 plus holidays there.

    At the same time we have visited many more destinations, but are always drawn back to Beni, so much variety for all ages.

    We are not really into clubs or drinking so always stay in the old town area, we prefer to go to the Princesa hotel which is a lovely hotel. Lovely staff, good food, but not if you are craving burgers or chips.

    We are in Spain so come on you Brits get adventurous and try something new.

    Weather usually good in March and Nov but of course chance of rain at these times of the year and chilly in the morning and after about 4 p.m.

    Had a wonderful Christmas 2013 at the Princesa for 12 nights, what a spread.

    Holiday

    40 plus times says it all,10/10 for staff at Princesa who worked their socks off at Christmas and always with a smile, joining in the celebrations as they worked.

    Off this Friday to Poniente area, hotel Torre Dorada for 1st time, I believe a lot of Spanish stay there, hopefully no rowdy Brits giving us all a bad name.

  • Good holiday but weather was a let-down

    Review by: John

    Weather

    Normally in May the weather in Benidorm would be good: sunny, hot. When I went for a week in May there was only one day when it was warm and sunny all day.

    Occasionally there was a sunny morning or a sunny afternoon but not all day long - and the temperature was below par.

    For the most part it was just cloudy and very breezy. It could get quite cold.

    Holiday

    I did get some time on the beach. Had a nice trip on the tourist train which took us to the beach and up the hill.

    It was the nightlife that was the best thing about Benidorm. Plenty of bars and clubs to choose from.

  • Holiday in benidorm in January 2013

    Review by: Ian Brown

    Weather

    Around 22 - 24 degrees C, with clear blue skies during the day, but cold at night.

    Holiday

    Great for a winter break in the sun.

    The whole town was spotless and everything seemed to be open.

    Where else can you get a coffee,with brandy and a slice of cake for 2.10 euros.

    We didn't go out at night as our hotel was quite a walk out of town and it was cold in the evening.

    The beaches were cleaned daily and even in January had sun worshippers on them.

    The place is full of OAPs at this time of year but a great place.

    Not sure I'd want to visit in the summer though.

  • I AM SOON GOING ON MY 4TH VISIT TO BENIDORM

    Review by: Michael Clarke

    Weather

    Can't remember anything but warm,dry and sunny.


    My wife and I went when our two daughters were about 12 and 9.

    That was the only time we have been in August and my wife and one daughter found it too hot. All be it there was a heatwave that year!

    My wife and I have been just on our own.

    And we have also been with another couple.

    Holiday

    Each holiday was largely faultless.

    We stayed at the Regente first time and then two times at the Rio Park. Both were nice hotels.

    We are going again with my daughter(now adult) and son-in-law for my 65th birthday in March.

    Staying this time at the Sol Pelicanos, which comes very well recommended.

    The early days of November were very, very wet and cold. The second half of November was warm and sunny during the day but cold at night.Take a jumper or a fleece!

    Holiday

    Our holiday overall was very good with plenty to keep us entertained. Benidorm has something for everyone. The Fiesta was great. The parades and the fireworks are spectacular. The "British Fancy Dress" day following the Fiesta is just amazing- certainly not to be missed;
    just staggering!

  • November Holiday in Benidorm

    Review by: Marie

    Weather

    Unfortunately temperatures plunged to 13 degrees on our first day (6/11/12) and then it rained.

    Out of seven days we only had one and a half days of sun! When the sun shone it was great but short lived. The other days were very cloudy with rain or a cool wind.

    Very dull and dreary. Mainly it warmed up in the evenings but it was wet underfoot with plenty of puddles!
    So not a lot to do in the rain during the day, well perhaps there was but with the poor weather it stole our enthusiasm to search!

    Also because we weren't prepared for such poor weather our clothes weren't warm enough!

    Holiday

    The holiday was saved by the lovely hotel we stayed in, which was the Hotel Presidente. We stayed half board and the food and everything else about the hotel was great.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find food and drinks were cheap. Also I didn't realise that the Fiesta is mainly in the old town and we were in the new town.

    However I didn't like the practise of the throwing of bangers or fire crackers- they make a deafening sound and can give you quite a shock if you are taken by surprise!

    It was all on nothing in the bars, either just a few 12-14, or very busy you cant find a seat! Also bingo was played a lot but there were plenty of other places to choose from!

    One thing that stood out though is the entertainment, which was amazingly good. No entrance fees but the drinks were sometimes a bit dearer- but well worth it.

    Review by: alex dunn

    Weather

    The weather was great: hot every day, some days a little overcast and a nice breeze at times, but all in all great weather.

    Holiday

    Five days would have been fine but seven were too long for me.

    Third trip to Benidorm and what a deterioration: pubs filthy; restaurants filthy; entertainment poor.

    We got robbed on the Saturday afternoon and could not report it until Monday as you require an official interpreter who only works Mon-Fri and she was most unhelpful. WORD OF WARNING: take your passport to the police station otherwise they wont entertain you.

    Benidorm was filthy, footpaths poorly maintained, hence lots of folk on crutches and arm slings.

    Thieving going on 24/7, some horror stories to be heard in the police station. Put us off for good.....

    I go to Benidorm several times a year you cannot beat it for entertainment, but I must say I never go after the first week in june as a younger crowd gets in.

    I can not say they are all bad, but for some reason some of them have no respect for themselves and make England look bad.

    Having said that, the Calypso Hotel is excellent food wise and everything else. I love the dancing so maybe I am lucky not many young ones dance now, so it leaves it just right for me.

    Lovely.

    Stayed at Rio Park.

    Food very good. Bit off the beaten track but a good hotel.
    Had a little chalet right nearby.

    Pool nice and clean, always plenty of clean towels.

    Went to Benidorm Palace: show very good. A good seat. Even if you dont eat it's worth seeing.

    Weather

    The weather was amazing, continuous sun from morning to night. The readings were coming up as 26 degrees but it was more like 30, really lovely for the time of year.

    Holiday

    Very bad experience as my husband had his wallet stolen by a spanish prostitute, a very kind taxi driver took us to the local police station and stayed with us until we gave our statement.
    New town we found was very sleezy, I would cringe if I knew my daughter behaved the way most of the young girls did there. We also found that the people from England were very loud and embarrising, this was even mentioned to us by people that we met who themselves were from England and said they were ashamed to come from the same country.
    Why do some British people go on holiday and then continue to hunt for British bars and British food - just stay at home and stop embarrasing other Brits.

    Review by: Jean Ashworth

    Weather

    Very hot and sunny, no complaints about the weather as that is what we miss in England!
    What else do you want to know? We had 14 days of beautiful hot sunshine!

    Holiday

    Not what I expected - the locals were so rude and un- welcoming unlike other areas of Spain we have visited which was quite a shock. The hotel was a let down although it was very clean, the entertainment was just concentrated on the Spanish locals, there was nothing for the children above 10 years - one pool table, 2 computers is not acceptable.
    All inclusive meant traveling to the other hotels for a swim/entertainment.
    Sadly I won't be visiting Benidorm again.

    When i first went to Benidorm i was 16 and with my family and ever since i have been wanting to go back as we loved it so much.The beaches, bars, entertainment and accomodation prices were all brilliant, and so is the fact that you dont have to travel endless hours on a plane to get all of this!

    So now I'm a 26 yr old mum of one (well two if i count my partner).

    In august we're going to Benidorm and I cant wait to see how its changed (for the better im sure).

    The lady I booked my holiday with has been going for the past 10 years religiously and she is going back in August for her 11th year, so we will probably be seeing her on the beach no doubt!

    We had fantastic weather all 11 days 27Sept-7Oct 2010, temp average was 28c day time but did hit 32c a couple of days. It was around 24-26c at night time. We had one shower which lasted about 15-20mins then cleared up. Some mornings it rained heavily and cleared up by noon. Which was nice as it kept the air fresh.

    Holiday

    The hotel was good (Pelicanos Ocas); nice, clean, helpful staff, awesome pools but the food was quite poor. There was undercooked chicken which was still pink on the bone and with chicken on every night it was difficult to find something good and safe to eat. The other choices which were pork and steak were still pink inside!
    What did seemed to be cooked ok was bland and tasteless! Even the suppers were thin, watery and looked like they had just done the washing up.

    In the 80's every day - just hot enough, almost too hot sometimes. Blue sky sunshine every day. With warm evenings.

    Holiday

    It wasn't my first visit to Benidorm, I love the place. Gorgeous beach, hundreds of bars, lots with free live entertainment open well into the early hours.

    Early September and the weather was blue sky sunshine for the full 7 days. Very busy. Beach packed. You could just walk off the beach into the clear blue water and submerge - the water was so warm. The diving platform moored offshore was very popular to swim out to and sunbathe, then swim back.

    A great place for sun sea sand and whatever you want!

    Apartments Bristol (apartments affiliated - not the Hotel Bristol) very very cheap accommodation and comfortable.

    It was a brilliant holiday. The beach was right beside our apartments. You could'nt have asked for a better beach.

    We were there in November 2008.

    Weather was OK, been better at that time of year. It was cold, damp sometimes, but occassional sunshine.

    As usual holiday was brilliant. We've travelled to quite a few places worldwide - but still have to come back to Benidorm.

    Doesn't really matter about the weather because there's so much to see and do there!

    Although good weather is a bonus as the beaches are the best.

    You can have best of both worlds here. Either Rincon end for the 'Blackpool' type or the other end 'Old town' for the more refined.

    Winter months are best because it's not to crowded.

    Took our grandson of 8 years of age. He loved every minute we stayed in Rio Park which was a great hotel and great food. We stayed there when my own children were young, must have stayed there around ten times now. Got to say the food was good then, but alot better now! Must be one of the best hotels in Benidorm. Intend to stay again.

    Happy hour in Rio Park is great, 2 bicardi for 2 euro 50 plus all good spirits.

  • Benidorm summer 2009

    Review by: Daniel

    Weather

    Weather was fantastic!
    Myself and my girlfriend have been going to Benidorm for the past 5 years.
    While we were there (26th July - 8th August, 2009) the weather was between 34 - 39 degrees everyday.
    Every year we've been there its been great weather.

    Holiday

    As we have been to Benidorm 5 times now we have an almost set routine to our holiday!
    Benidorm is a great holiday for young couples, groups of lads / ladies, we saw lots of families and even my mum and her partner enjoy going there who are both in there mid - late 50's and plan to keep going.
    We've stayed at 2 main hotels while there, The Princessa which is a 4* slightly back from the main bars but a nice hotel and the Castilla which is also a 4* - a very smart hotel, its fairly small and you get alot of Spainish tourists in the hotel, but as its part of the Servigoup hotels the service is great.
    At the moment there is a massive building being built next door it didnt bother us so much as we are from London and are used to hearing bulding work going on, but if you want quiet you may want to go to The Melia, The Nereo or perhaps Hotel Victoria. Ive been told they are very nice.

    Weather

    Sunny ( low to mid 20s)
    Couple of cloudy days and a day of showers (although didn't stop us leaving the beach)

    Holiday

    Nightmare start with hotel having no record of booking only to later find the paperwork which stated that it had been cancelled!
    A whole day of expensive phone calls to tour operator '0n the Beach' who were a disaster from start to finish.The hotel 'Aquarium 2' were completely unintersted and insisted that I personally sort.
    Beware of both!
    A fun holiday for those with energy and those interested in a culture-free break-abit too 'in your face' for me-seems a popular place for stag/hen parties and the place is ideally set up for that sort of holiday.
    Wouldn't recommend it for a families!

  • First time in Benidorm

    Review by: Keith G.

    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.

  • My Holidays In Benidorm

    Review by: Macy Smith

    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!

  • Long Weekend :)

    Review by: Emma

    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!!

    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!

    Holiday

    It was brilliant! the night life was great!
    The Levante beach was lovely!
    We just liked lounging around the pool most days!
    The holiday flew by!
    We ate out most of the time at the Titanic bar, the food was lovely!
    It was owned by english people and was 5 mins away from our apartment!

    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.

    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.

    Review by: Ceejay

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

  • November Fiesta 2006

    Review by: Tony Fletcher

    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.
