We've stayed at there in the past and we, our family of 6 will be staying again in April this year. We can't wait .. We love this hotel. The best in Benidorm
Thanks Lucy, will have to visit Don Pancho. Didn't realise that the public could eat and drink there also. Slightly nostalgic for me though, mum and dad (bless them both) were some of the first guests to stay in the hotel when it was built. Not sure of thee year, maybe someone will know. My parents were indeed "Jetsetters" Thanks again, Mark. x
What a lovley hotel and looks really nice and thank you lucy for showing us around the hotel and it was nice to see your mum injoying her holiday in a nice hotel well when i get over next year i will go and have a look at the hotel thank you again for a lovley blog lucy keep save and smiling
Looks absolutely amazing & nice to meet your mum, thanks for sharing Lucy, 54 days before we come out, see you then, stay safe & love to you & your partner xxx 👍👏👍
My wife treated me to a 4day break to the Don Pancho and I must say what a fabulous stay it was!! Good food, great service, lovely rooms and situated in the heart of the City. 5-Stars!! We will be returning again!!
Lovely video, its been great to see you having a lovely time with your parents. This really cheered me up on a rainy day in England, the Don Pancho looks fabulous I'd love to stay there next time I come to Beni xx
stayed here 2 times the hotel is fab, its a oasis between the old and new towns, very central, Lucy you have been through the covid a insperation to us all here back in the uk, i really hope that the people and especially the buisness people of benidorm have and will look after you, see you hopefully in the new year love ade and issy from south wales xxx oh and love to mam!!!
Thanks Lucy. Don Pancho looks great. Allegedly that is where we are staying next time we go to Benidorm. My wife and her mum have been ans really enjoyed their stay.
Loved your video of the Don Pancho hope to get there next year really enjoy all of your short vids watched nearly everyone you are like a breath of fresh air in this suffocating last 2 year's lol xx Bobby
Love the video Lucy, it's the only Hotel we'll stay at in Benidorm, we were there about 3 weeks ago and loved it, it took us about 10mins to walk to Winners Bar where me and my wife met you. Keep up the good work you're an inspiration to everyone.
Hi Lucy, we popped into Winners bar yesterday hoping to you, we were served by the lovely Elizabeth, unfortunately we were too early, but we enjoyed some nice cold beers. Keep up the great work
I have stayed at the Don Pancho several times. It really is a relaxing environment. Would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to avoid screaming children in and around the pool.
Thank Lucy for this video, nice to know you can enjoy the facilities even though you are not a guest, I stayed here on my 1st aoa basis so was well chuffed, beautiful surroundings and the back door is on the famous strip
Love the Don Pancho - stayed there for my first visit to Benidorm - now we have our own villa down the coast in Murcia but we'll come back to the DP for a few nights to enjoy the luxury of being looked after, the lovely pool (which is heated so usable year round) and the excellent food.
Really enjoyed this video. We have booked the Don Pancho for our first visit to Benidorm next week. So good to see the facilities in advance and looking forward to our holiday
Hi Lucy, yea we actually eventually made it to the Don Pancho 7th Sept to 18th Sept, after 2years of trying. We did enjoy the hotel very much, the staff were excellent as was the service!! My wife and I were a bit disappointed with the food to be honest, we spoke to a few other guests who had stayed there several times and said they were disappointed with the food this year. I only put on 5 lbs this time in Benidorm 🤔😏. We are already booked for the Don Pancho for June 2022, that being a holiday rebooked from June this year. We are also going to try to get back to Benidorm in between now and then. Also great news is our ‘guys group’ are talking about Benidorm next May and September. 😎😎🍺🍺. It was also very nice to meet you in person in WINNERS BAR, what a great location you have there, sorry we didn’t get back to see you again. It was also great to meet up with friend and former muso colleague Ian Slater ( otherwise known as Cameron James,). We saw him working a few times and enjoyed drinks and tapas with Ian and his lovely wife Andrea in Harry’s Bar just off the Levante Beachfront one afternoon. It was lovely to see the place starting to buzz again, it can only get better. Keep up the good work Lucy!! ‘H’ xxx
We have always wanted to book the Don Pancho but never got round to it and stayed Port Benidorm or The Ambassadors But Now We’ve Seen Your Video we will Definitely Book for Next year 3 weeks 😘💙💙
Good video of our favourite hotel. Returning after 4 weeks with our son and Grandson and are pleased to say it is not adults only as you reported. There were several youngsters there in April but you would never had known. The pool area is very well policed and apart from a problem group of adults during our stay everything was perfect.
We have stayed there, it's a lovely hotel. I wrote my experience in the sign in book where they have the history corner. The food is amazing I would defo like to go back
OMG I can’t wait to come it will be our first time at the don pancho as we usually stay in the Sandos Benidorm suites it looks absolutely amazing Lucy I’m already getting excited 👏🏻👏🏻🥰❤️
Fabulous hotel never actually in the hotel but will definitely pay a visit when we get there in may good video Lucy gave us an appetite for it 🏊♂️😎🍹🌞👍Eric and Monica dublin
Great video Lucy 👍 thanks to this review we booked in here for 4 weeks in November/December this year! We Sarah and I also had the pleasure of meeting you in Winners Bar in mid June. Keep up the great work. Kev and Sarah x
This doesn't seem just a hotel but an experience for people who really enjoy that 'little' ( what's a word 😉 ) extra on a relaxing holiday . It's definitely on our list now 👍. So nice to see your mom again ... the way you said "well done mom"... that proud and love on your face and voice 👌 made us smile 🙂🙂.
Stopped twice in pancho and the food is superb & was always hot even the beans on a morning😁👍the pool is a bit small but it's heated in the winter I was in it February 🏊♂️👍thanks for video Lucy😊😎
Hi👋 😊after searching many hotels 🏨 your blog on the don pacho deffinelty made my mind up.. looking forward to my holiday on January 29th excellent stuff keep it up Lucy !! 👌👍👏👏😊
My wife and me spent a lovely week at the Dom Pancho mid June this year. We had our booking in 2020 cancelled like millions others of due to restrictions. Its a top class hotel and its food is on a par with any top UK restaurant. First visited the hotel in 1976 when my then work colleagues and me were invited there by then manager of the Western Saloon that was on the front facing the Levante Beach A famous football team were staying there at the time. It was so impressive even back then. Though its surrounds were mainly wide open air café areas. Went there many times in the late 90s 200s and never disappointed. I wonder if anyone recalls a visit in 1999. And the female head chief who everyone wanted a photo with after hearing she was moving to work in the US. The Food that year was incredible.
@@LucyYoungTBE will keep a look out. Took a walk to old town last night and my feet are paying for it this morning so won't be venturing too far today 🤣😁
For me one of the best hotels in Benidorm. Quality-environment. Situation in the Center and 5m from the beach. The food is free buffet but it is expectacular of a 10. Stately and without noise.
Hi Lucy..don poncho looks great the rooms etc..however..we've booked flamingo oasis for next april...that also looks great do you agree ? Great vid..bye for now hun..👍x
Hi lucy fab video on the Don Pancho we re coming 2 weeks today and staying at the Don Pancho ,can't wait .Seems like its very quiet at the moment around Benidorm is the Western bar open yet and the Explorer's? Thanks for all the video's they really are informative for us here stuck in Blighty
Hi,visited Don Pancho a few times but finally staying there this year. I agree coffee is great but my other half thinks it’s strong. How do I order a weak coffee with milk?
Nice video as always, but please help me understand: You say two times in your video, that everybody can walk in and purchase either dinner in restaurant or afternoon coffee.. But my wife and I have just been in Benidorm on vacation (staying in lovely Poniente) and based on this video we walked +30 minutes to Hotel Pancho to eat in the restaurant (think it was sunday 29th January 23 or monday 30th), but we never got further than the hotel main entrance where a security guard only allowed people who were showing him their Don Pancho room-keycard to enter the hotel.. he only spoke spanish and we do not, so we couldn't get any explanation but had to go elsewhere to eat as he wouldn't let us in.. It would be nice to hear your opinion, also so other don't waste time as we did, if Don Pancho have changed policy and only people staying in the hotel are allowed to enter the reception (of course I assume that we would have been allowed access if we had carried a lot of luggage and looking like we were about to check-in, but we did not as we were just there to eat)
Was here about 15 years ago. We were there at the same time as a large 'family' from Naples. Interesting times.
We've stayed at there in the past and we, our family of 6 will be staying again in April this year. We can't wait .. We love this hotel. The best in Benidorm
Lovely videos again Lucy nice to see other bars the Don Pancho looks really nice what a lovely hotel joyx

Looking good as I keep saying 2 myself not long now come on January 🤪
My wife and me spent a lovely week at the Dom Pancho mid June this year. We had our booking in 2020 cancelled like millions others of due to restrictions. Its a top class hotel and its food is on a par with any top UK restaurant. First visited the hotel in 1976 when my then work colleagues and me were invited there by then manager of the Western Saloon that was on the front facing the Levante Beach
A famous football team were staying there at the time. It was so impressive even back then. Though its surrounds were mainly wide open air café areas.
Went there many times in the late 90s 200s and never disappointed.
I wonder if anyone recalls a visit in 1999. And the female head chief who everyone wanted a photo with after hearing she was moving to work in the US.
The Food that year was incredible.
Can't wait always promised myself a stay at this hotel and now after 50+ years I m 10 weeks away from staying at the Don Pancho Hotel.
We are going to don Pancho 12th feb next year for my special birthday hopefully some nice weather😊
It's a good excuse to come to Benidorm
We’ve been there twice love it ❤
Hi Lucy, we are currently at the Don Pancho, gutted we missed your visit :(
I'll be in again through the week while my Mum is there 😁👍 hope to see you around x
@@LucyYoungTBE will keep a look out. Took a walk to old town last night and my feet are paying for it this morning so won't be venturing too far today 🤣😁
@@LucyYoungTBE lovely to meet you and your Mum today in the pool. Fingers crossed she managed to keep hold of your Dad through dinner tonight 🤣🤣🤣
@@kathvallance4385 Hahahaha we did 🤣🤣🤣
A beautiful hotel by the looks of it. Thanks Lucy
Booked into the Don Pancho in March for St Patrick's Day 🍀. It looks amazing. Thanks Lucy xx
For me one of the best hotels in Benidorm. Quality-environment. Situation in the Center and 5m from the beach. The food is free buffet but it is expectacular of a 10. Stately and without noise.
Hmmm I might just have to give this hotel a try 🤔🤔🤔
The best hotel I have stayed in and would not stay at another hotel in Benidorm I am going back in July
Booked to go there in May 2023 cant wart
Lovely hotel, we all deserve a bit of that, vloggin it special.
Hi Lucy..don poncho looks great the rooms etc..however..we've booked flamingo oasis for next april...that also looks great do you agree ? Great vid..bye for now hun..👍x
Not been in there for a long time, we will do a video at some point im sure 👍

Booked don poncho 3 weeks in middle of July thanks
Stayed there about 10 years ago. A good part to this hotel is all rooms face the Levante beach.
Helpful thanks
