I’m just trying to find out if people have been Benidorm and what it’s like and is it expensive

Why what happens at night
Yes. Benidorm received 2,766,366 travellers last year.
Property prices are much less expensive than Kensington, so, no, it is not expensive.

I won’t be leaving my hotel
My sister went there and seemed to enjoy it. Apparently, it was rather inexpensive.
It’s not somewhere I’d choose to go, personally.
I put on (and have now lost) quite a bit of weight around 15 years ago but nobody ever suggested I was as large as a Spanish municipality.

Go to a rough estate anywhere in England and then think about the same being there in Benidorm. That’s pretty much what it is like.
If you go outside of the “brit” area and to the older parts of the city it’s actually very nice.

My grandparents have lived 10 minutes down the road in a quieter town for 25 years. Benidorm is what it is, cheap booze and British food in the sun with a relatively low cost of living. You’ll still get €2 pints and other drink offers during the day, spirits will be closer to UK prices and prices for both go up on a night.
The water parks are decent for something to do, and the theme park (Terra Mitica) is alright - go in the afternoon if you do - it used to be cheaper after a certain time and the queues much shorter for the rides (not been for 5+ years so not sure if it’s still the same).
The bus services are cheap and regular, hop on the number 10 to Altea for a bit of culture of an old Spanish town and better restaurants then you’ll find in Benidorm.

lol I know about google but not being funny a lot of people put stuff on there that ain’t true it’s best to get someone who’s been there to ask
Not hot but still warm, more of the bars and restaurants shut, the stuff catering to the stag/hen do and lads, lads, lads market are more likely to be open but not open as late The water parks and theme park will also be shut. Generally it’s pretty quiet in the winter months.
You’re going to have to be more specific to get any more out of me then that

Actually, all joking aside, I used chatGPT to produce an excellent personalised guidebook for my trip to Germany last year. Just as good as Lonely Planet, but with the advantage that it was able to produce things like a list of day trips centered on where I was staying.
