Well Benidorm has

We're there for 4 nights in June for my lads stag.

Gone AI so hoping not to spend a huge amount out there. It's a plan, not sure it's a good one.

Better check the all inclusive as Spain have changed the rules any all inclusives now are only allowed 6 drinks per day. I don’t know if this includes Benidorm
I’m back in Benidorm on the 22nd May oh my lord

Cheers but that's restricted to magaluf and a few other island resorts.

Didn't think it was cheap when I went last year - it was ok. We went AI then as well - we still ate out and went to the bars.

Plus it was an extra £50 for 4 nights / 5 days. It's a no brainer

Re the 6 drink rule, there's a few pros but many cons, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. As long as it's clear what this new AI actually includes no one can complain - that doesn't appear to be the case at the moment. I can't see it widening to benidorm anyway.

Depends on your situation if you've a family with kids in tow maybe you don't want to take them round bars, feel comfortable and safe with them in a hotel and all the entertainment that's on offer?

Fags x 200 are £37.80 (43 euro) lambert and butler blue (£110.00 in uk )

I no longer smoke. But could never understand why anyone would smoke L&B as they were really the last resort. 😂
 
Blackpool with sunshine they say.
Not everyone’s cup of tea but if you like Blackpool and the rowdy people,Benidorm is the place to go.
Some great tribute acts and I wonder if Blackpool Tom is still performing.

I would have been there end of May if it wasn’t for a wedding in Turkey.
 
Just got back. Bloody lovely weather.

Highly recommend Sandos Monaco hotel if you're travelling without kids. Not full of rowdy young uns (we all in our mid to late 30s so felt v young lol), not far from beach, but just far enough out of the madness. Lies roughly between old and new town and seemed to be 'just right' for location.

Strip about a brisk 5 min walk if you like that sort of thing. Being the old soul I am I got the free (on a Sunday) tram to Altea which is also lovely and felt like going from Blackpool up the coast to St Annes or Lytham 😅
 
Was there not a Blackpool pub in benners.. sure there was but not sure if still there.... any regulars know? Going Sunday.. buzzing

Perhaps Simon Sadler is in charge of the budget arrangements?
 
I’m impressed with the drink prices, just got back from Corfu and a small beer was 3.5 or large beer 4.5/5 euros.
 
Got to say, we have done a lot of holidays over the years but Benidorm is a bit special. You just can’t beat a few days there on a wild one!
 
Don’t care what anybody says about Benni and we’ve been to some great holiday destinations, but there’s something about Benni that keeps drawing you back! Blackpool with sun🤔

I'm approaching an age (very old) when I'm thinking I should make my Benidorm debut. 🤪
PS
Can someone give me the date of the International breaks. 😉
 
Took the kids on my first solo adult trip with them when they were 2 & 9.

Had a ball. It does what it says on the tin 👌
