Having visited Benidorm as a child, my dad was keen to return. And so, we booked an all-inclusive holiday for Easter half-term. On arrival, we found it was easy to adjust to the temperature, a mere 15 degrees. Whilst we were hoping for a little more sun, we made the most of the mild climate by walking down to the Old Town. I've honestly never seen a less Spanish resort, it's easy to forget that you've even left England. Whilst the beach looked lovely and clean, it was much too cold for a dip in the sea so we spent the majority of the holiday either in the hotel complex or in the town centre. Benidorm is great for those with small children, or those who don't mind missing out on Spanish culture. Personally, I like to see some of the country I'm paying to go to. Sorry Benidorm regulars, but it's just not for some people.Benidorm, Costa Blanca, Spain Benidorm something for everyon Rating: 10/10

What do you want from a holiday? Do you want great beaches,good nightlife,theme parks,a sunny climate, Benidorm has it all. It is only 3 hours flying time from the UK. Beni is one of the largest resort cities in Spain, and has approx 1 million vistors each year most of them British.There are four areas in Benidorm,Ricon,Levente,Old Town,and Poniente, each with it's own flavour. They are like four mini towns in one large city.
The Ricon and Lavente districts are catering for the British mass tourism market, the Old Town is were the Spainish live and the Poniente area is mostly Spainish holidaymakers.
The Recon and Lavente have most of the hotels all of which are high rise with up to 20 floors, in the travel brouchers.They have also the largest entertainment area devoted to the British holiday maker, with most bars being run by ex pats from the Uk, from night clubs,cabaret bars, karaoke,themed bars, lap dancing clubs all can be found in this district. For drinks ect it is one of the cheapest in Spain, a pint can still be had for 1 euro in the daytime.
The Old Town district seems to have a large number of ice cream palours empty during the day but packed at night with the Spanish.It is quaint with a large number of good shops and for a real flavour of Spain go to Tapas Alley which is a small area of tapas bars and well worth a visit.The Old Town also has a very large gay scene at night with a fair number of gay bars and clubs. The Poniente area is quiet end of this brash city with Spainish tourists being in the majority.
It has something to suit everyone. The infamous Square, for the clubers, The Old town for the gays,The Calle Gerona, for the families and golden oldies, and blue flag beaches for the sun worshipers.Benidorm is a place you will either love or hate. It is big and brash with very little Spainish culture.If you want a flavour of Spain then it is not for you. If you want 24 hour entertainment, good beaches,British food,then you will love it. Either way try it and see.Benidorm, Costa Blanca, Spain Rating: 10/10

This was my first time to Benidorm, it's my boyfriends 3rd and he really enjoys it. So did I when I arrived. From day 1 there was activities going on, the reps gave you a tour of the resort and then you have a talk about things going on and if you want to join on in etc, but me and my boyfriend did our own thing. We planned our own day but never kept to it though! We did plenty of sunbathing and swimming. The Aqua Park was cool and the aquarium was good as well. I’m a big fish fan, so the snorkelling was a big hit. Our hotel the Presidente hotel was tall; thank god we were based on the 4th floor. There were also loads of other hotels close by which sometimes spoiled the view and blocked the sun too on a number of occasions. Great nightlife, some top bars, disco bars and clubs etc, but with just the 2 of us we sometimes got a bit bored as everyone were in groups or families and there is only so much you can do. But we both enjoyed our selves though that was the main thing.Benidorm, Costa Blanca, Spain Worth a visit Rating: 7/10
