Buffalo Bill Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 That was the one on that TV show, 'Holidays from Hell'. A real nightmare, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondejamtart Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Never been to Benidorm, but these days, I never book anything until I've checked it out on hotel review sites such as holiday truths, holidays uncovered, trip advisor etc. I've avoided more than a few potential pitfalls that way...

Currahee! Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Benidorm is really tacky! It's like Blackpool in the sun! On a positive note Terra Mitica theme park is just outside and it's good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In you opinion, saying that some parts are, but most isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee! Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 In you opinion, saying that some parts are, but most isn't. True! But I was lucky enough to be staying elsewhere and went there a few times to check it out. I'd never book a holiday there after what i saw. The places around Benidorm were much better. Finestrat and Villa Joyosa were nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest i wasnt keen on Benidorm myself but the hotel we are going seems to be quite a bit away from Chav central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Been to Benidorm myself. Not as bad as folk make out. Nice beach, some good bars. Just make sure you don't go when the English school holidays are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the all the neds that made it horrible. Your hotel looks ok. Go to Terra Mitica when your there. Just like Alton Towers but nowhere near as busy.

Miles away from Benidorm, with a brothel and streetwalkers at the top of the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Benidorm, IMO, is a horrible, horrible place. I would truthfully rather not go away than go to Benidorm again. NO WAY would I take my son there. I hope that the OP finds somewhere nicer than us but I don't suspect he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
