Benidorm

Advantages: plenty to do, sun, sea
Disadvantages: no disadvantages

...For my honeymoon last July we wemt to Benidorm and it was the best holiday that we have had had. I'd go back there again. There are people of all ages there, and things to do for everyone. You would never be bored of things to do. Benidorm is split in to two parts, the old town and the new town. The old town is where the locals live and is quieter and the new town is where the tourists go and is very lively. We stayed in the new town but did go to the old town a few times. There is a theme park called terra mittica, where there are quite a few rides to go on. This theme park opened last summer. The theme park is in sections and named after different countries. There are different rides for adults and children. There is a rollercoaster which I did not go on as I do not like them, waterlog, a ride like the pepsi max at Blackpool...

Review of Benidorm (Spain)

*On Holiday.........in Benidorm!!*

Advantages: Funny!
Disadvantages: None!

...I had heard of the ITV television programme Benidorm before but hadn't watched it , until recently when the third series was showing , and my mum who is a fan of the show and has watched every episode told me how good it was. So , one friday evening a few weeks back , I decided to put ITV1 On and see what all the fuss was about! After only watching that particular episode for a couple of minutes ; I was really enjoying it , and found myself laughing a lot! I couldn't believe why I had refused to watch it before ; it was just my kind of programme! Since the series ended a couple of weeks back , I decided I wanted to see the first two series too. So I bought Benidorm : Series 1. For those of you who don't know , Benidorm is a comedy-drama television programme , based on the popular-with-working-class-folk holiday destination...

The Flamingo Benidorm Hotel

Advantages: All Inclusive, Plenty Of Entertainment
Disadvantages: Lots Of Kids

...I recently stayed at the Flamingo Benidorm Hotel in Benidorm, Spain for 7 nights between the 17th and 24th October 2006. LOCATION The Hotel is located about 800 metres inland from Levante Beach, and about the same distance from the Old Town. It is set in one of the quieter parts of the resort on a slight incline. It is not to be confused with two other Hotels in Benidorm that have similar names; The Flamingo Oasis Benidorm and the Flamingo Aparthotel. The address of the hotel where I stayed is as below: Flamingo Benidorm C. Marbella, 2 03503 Benidorm Alicante Spain Tel. +34 96 586 53 53 Fax. +34 96 683 02 45 email: book.flamingobenidorm@marconfort.com THE EXTERIOR From the outside this Hotel does not look anything special.

Review of Flamingo Benidorm Hotel

Crowne Plaza deserves another Crown

Advantages: 4 Star hotel, Situated in good location, Friendly staff, Beautiful hotel, Good hotel facilities
Disadvantages: Expensive

...a nice feel to them you can feel the build quality in the rooms the beds are comfortable the desk is made from oak tree they look and feel great. One thing that I usually find with hotel room bathrooms is that they are small and in fact too small I feel like I don?t have enough space to stand in them and that it cannot be comfortable. However the bathrooms in the Crowne Plaza are perfect they just look beautiful and posh. I had enough space to stand around; I had space to put my clothes and enough room to shave without banging into the mirror I guess you can get my point. Bed and breakfast As part of the deal that I got was evening meal and breakfast included with the rooms (We had to pay for drinks) but it was a very good deal. We went down for dinner and were greeted by a very helpful member of staff who took us to a table...

Review of Crowne Plaza Hotel, Liverpool

  If you have never been to Benidorm before

Advantages: lovely scenery, places to visit, warm temp, lots to do
Disadvantages: slippery downhill marble paths, READ MY BUYER BEWARE OP

...?Then you will have by the time you?ve finished reading this opinion? I love writing about my travels, so I hope you will enjoy reading this opinion, as much as I will enjoy writing it. If you need any more information about Benidorm once you?ve read this, then feel free to leave a message in my guest book. I have been to Benidorm (situated in the province of Alicante in Costa Blanca) twice now with my boyfriend Paul. The first time I went was on 11th September 2001, so as you have perhaps guessed ? many of the planes were delayed. This was my first time out of the UK too, so the longer we had to wait, the more nerve-racking it got. I had always wondered what it would be like in an aeroplane, thousands of feet up in the air, the huge drop to the ground below, wispery, transparent clouds rushing by unknowingly, the sound...

Victoria Park Plaza Hotel, London It's More Than A Hotel!

Advantages: Pleasant Staff, Good Customer Service, Nice Breakfast
Disadvantages: Expensive

...The Victoria Park Plaza in London is an amazing hotel that has very comfortable, quality rooms and staff who are friendly and professional. The best thing about The Victoria Park Plaza is that it is in a prime position just two minutes from Victoria Station and an easy walk to some of London's main attractions. I found it perfect for shopping and buying souvenirs. There were also quite a number of restaurants close by and my mum who cannot walk far didn't complain once. Although we ate at the hotel we also sampled London's China Town. It is a four star hotel and lives up to the standard. It is situated close to Buckingham Palace, Harrods, Westminster Abbey and Houses of Parliament. The hotel does not allow smoking anywhere near the building which my mum and I really appreciated because we are both none smokers. The smoking ban made...

Meteor Plaza, one of their best!

Advantages: Location, rooms & staff
Disadvantages: none

...The first grumpy free break for some years, he was rock bothering in Italy (environmental stuff) so where could we go? After debating and a bottle of wine we decided to try Prague and checked on the Best Western site to see what delights and bargains they had to offer. For those of you that read my reviews you will notice that we tend to use B.W a lot and there is good reason for doing so. Firstly they are all different, some quirky, some modern, big and small and secondly I can book them all through central reservations, I can easily change hotels, nights and add rooms etc, nothing seems too much trouble. Where did I choose? The Best Western Meteor Plaza and what a good choice it turned out to be. At the time of booking they had a two for three night offer bringing the price for 3 nights B&B in total £150.00, bargain...

Review of Best Western Hotel Meteor Plaza, Prague

Benidorm

Advantages: Usually fine weather
Disadvantages: Can be rather cold

...Benidorm is what you make it! As an acknowledged venue for excellent climate the town itself can be either a bore after the first few days or a delight to explore further. Like most people I headed for the entertainment venues on Levante Beach and was amazed at how different the area is between the daytime and the nightime. During the day the front is a hive of activity with people walking constantly up and down the beautiful promenade. The beach is very clean although you must get used to walking into the bars to use the loos. The food is exceptionally cheap and the Chinese restaurants are probably the best for service and quality of food. The night scene can be a little disappointing. I was working in the bars presenting my cabaret act so I can tell you there were many seedy bars that I preferred to keep away from. The classiest bar in...

Review of Benidorm (Spain)

Princess at the Plaza

Advantages: Very central, late night bar
Disadvantages: Poor car-parking, a little on the expensive side (but worth it!)

...Stay: 29th April 2007, 2 nights. Price: £300 (inc. full breakfast) Situation: The Plaza is situated in the centre of Cardiff, just one street away from the main shops and 3-5 minute walk from the main clubs and pubs. When driving to the hotel, I found it easily accessible but was a little disappointed that the car park was not attached to the hotel. It wasn't very dignified having to haul my suitcase across the main road! Plus, car parking was charged at an extra discounted rate. Reception: Apart from this initial annoyance, the hotel was fantastic. Foyer and reception were easily accessed, with pleasant and cheerful staff and porter service if necessary. Room: Very impressive. Queen bed, plush decoration, clean and tidy, lovely big bathroom (although the full mirror along the wall of the bath/ shower was rather off...

Review of Park Plaza Hotel, Cardiff

Riverbank Park Plaza - hotel is cheap and convenient for West End

Advantages: Cheap if you get a discount, very convenient for West End
Disadvantages: Rooms not ready, facilities that didn't work, requests that got lost, wrong keys for room

...The Riverbank Park Plaza is a mid-price four-star hotel located on London's Embankment, about 10 minutes walk (with heavy suitcase) from Vauxhall and 20 minutes from Waterloo. It is a comfortable hotel with plenty of lifts, which are definitely needed if you find yourself on the seventh floor. This is not a cheap part of the world to be staying in, and the prices here reflect that. However, if you book ages in advance, then you may be lucky like we were and find a special deal. We went here in July 2009 and the rooms cost about £80 per night. To get this deal, we booked several months in advance and found a special offer which was valid if we booked two consecutive nights. According to their website, the current discounted price is about £110 per night. The hotel itself had many facilities; sadly we did not have time to appreciate...
