I was in Benidorm for Xmas and NY - 11 nights in all and including flights, accommodation and food/drink it cost me about £650 - there was quite a bit of self catering though. :)
@thechatterguys it got busier as the days went on - much busier once Xmas day was gone. Too many people for me tbh - I'm back in March and then boxing day for a week each time but on the poniente side as usual as it's quieter at night 😁
Thanks for writing back to me by really nice I'm totally agree about the 4 days we are in benidorm in April and back in October I love everything about it❤❤🎉🎉
Us too, Tracy. We're going to retire there, but that's not due a while yet. We hoped to move there while we were working but it's virtually impossible since Brexit ☹️ xxx
Weve booked The Queens for a week in late March. £48 per night for two and English breakfast included ! Cheap and Cheerful bar near Rio Park 2 PROPER G&T's - 9 euros ! Transfer from Alicante airport to Benidorm private taxi 59 euros door to door. Fantastic cars and fully legal - the company is MyTransferBenidorm - superb service. Bargains are there guys. All the best
Hi Roy. Thank you for your message. Hotel prices seem to be coming down again in Benidorm 😁, as do the flight costs. We haven't heard of MyTransferBenidorm before but we'll check them out for our next visit. Thank you so much 🙏😊
Hi guys, great breakdown and was surprised how little it was to go to Benidorm which would always be my preference. We love Benidorm and you can definitely get value for money if you know where to go. Thanks for sharing ❤
We loved the Rocamar. It's the only hotel we recommend in Benidorm without any reservations. Please let us know what you think of it 🙏 and have a great holiday 💕
Fascinating breakdown and comparison guys. No wonder more people choose to go abroad. However you can’t beat the vibe of a Blackpool or Brighton sometimes. Keep the brill content coming guys!! 🔥x
Great work boys, very interesting comparison. Fifty pounds on drinks is nothing compared to a night out here in Australia. I’m back to Spain in May, Sitges and most likely Benidorm too, I do love it there, it’s a hoot.
We had no idea that a night out in Australia was expensive 🫰 but we don't know if anywhere that can beat Spain for a great night out at a reasonable price. Have a great visit, Alan! 🇪🇺🏰🇪🇺
Guys stay in the old town , Queens Hotel or Climia 2Sleep Apartments both great , Zodiac House Tapas square 6 tapas bottle of wine 10 euro 1 euro tapa extra , Bar Mariano's for breakfast super nice and cheap , uncle peds and Rons for some cheap drinks , we did 4 nights spent £400 and seen Miss Jevi in the Palladium great night must see show
Agree about the Queens - we love it there and tapas for 10 euros. When you are at The Queens, the Tapas bar next to Olivers, a big glass of decent wine and a choice of tapa for 2.60 euros - great for a snack !
Hi Colin and Tim The one thing you get going to Spain even at the end of January of February, you get the weather. Chris. 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
Hi boys. I’m looking to go to Benidorm on my own around may or June, if I’m a single traveller the cost of hotels means that I have to pay double, would you advise going flight only ?
Hi Guys, how much did you say you spent for the 3 nights? seemed a lot based on your breakfast, coffee/cake, evening meals and drinks? do you eat two full meals a day? cheers for the video
Hi boss. We've watched the video again and we calculated that we would spend 130€ for the pair of us on a full day in Benidorm, which includes a restaurant meal of 50€.
@thechatterguys sounds about similar to us, Sarah's a bigger drinker than I am. we tend to use similar restaurants as you guys. thanks for the heads up on Kathmandu- absolutely loved it! keep up the good work, maybe we'll bump into you one day
Love the videos boys great stuff well what can we say about London and Brighton great night life I presume in Brighton I've never been but I don't know how expensive London can be. I personally wouldn't want to pay all that on the weekend away in England my husband myself and two friends like to go to Blackpool for the weekend most recently stayed in the premier Inn on the North pier . We use one car we have to pay to go over the Humber bridge petrol and parking we both had two fantastic rooms we a pasty before we set off had a meal when we arrived breakfast Saturday morning and another meal in the afternoon we don't drink lightly often out till at least 1:00 a.m. from around 5:00 p.m. we spent around 900 for all four of us we had everything from karaoke discos and drag queens and live entertainment so maybe London and Brighton are not the place to compare to benidorm. Forgot to mention the dirty kebab on the way home to the hotel don't get me wrong I love benidorm but but it is a pain in the proverbial travelling to the airport the plane journey travelling to the hotel just for a weekend give me Blackpool' all day long. But I would definitely be going to benidorm if it was a week
Hello Tracy. You can't beat Blackpool for a bargain weekend in the UK. We go there regularly because we absolutely love it. But we don't think there are many places in the UK that can compete on price. That's why we decided not to use Blackpool for this comparison. We agree that travelling to Benidorm is a pain. We reckon you need at least 4 nights away to make it worth the effort 💕🌈👍
Hello Gordon. Thank you for your comment. The bus is definitely the cheapest transfer option but it doesn't do you outside your hotel 🏨 and it can be quite a long way to carry your cases from the bus stop, especially if you're not familiar with Benidorm. We always use Beniconnect for convenience and it's not much more expensive than the bus 🚌
Hi Mark, this was the cost of the return train from two from Woking to London. We drove by car to Woking and then to Brighton. We didn't want to drive to London 😮
I was in Benidorm for Xmas and NY - 11 nights in all and including flights, accommodation and food/drink it cost me about £650 - there was quite a bit of self catering though. :)
That seems really good value and free fireworks, was it busy?
@thechatterguys it got busier as the days went on - much busier once Xmas day was gone. Too many people for me tbh - I'm back in March and then boxing day for a week each time but on the poniente side as usual as it's quieter at night 😁

Thank you Tracy, we was surprised how expensive it was for a weekend away in the 🇬🇧
Im off to the Rocomar on the in 12 days off the back of your review of the hotel .. thank you for the tip off ..looks great :)
We loved the Rocamar. It's the only hotel we recommend in Benidorm without any reservations. Please let us know what you think of it 🙏 and have a great holiday 💕
@@thechatterguys will do guys , I’m looking forward to it :)
@@tetasuk5352 👍🩷😀
Great Breakdown enjoyed this 👌
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it DJ Mico
Fascinating, I'd sooner spend that bit more and fly over to Beni all that entertainment
We were very surprised 😯 We'd go for the sunshine alone 😁

Thank you, that's appreciated. We were so shocked at the cost of the weekend away in Brighton and London. However, that being said we did enjoy it 😉

Great video and informative Happy 2025 from Northumberland
Thank you that's appreciated 👏 Happy New Year too
This caught me by surprise
We are still shocked David 😲

Thanks for then recommendations, we've tried a few of these and will check out Climia 2Sleep, we've heard of that place but never stayed the

Thanks again Roy. We've never had a bad glass of wine in Benidorm, even the ones they give away with the tapas 🍷🍷🍷
Hi Colin and Tim
The one thing you get going to Spain even at the end of January of February, you get the weather.
Chris.

It's tempting to look at the bargains now Chris, bit of winter sun 🌞 x
Hi boys. I’m looking to go to Benidorm on my own around may or June, if I’m a single traveller the cost of hotels means that I have to pay double, would you advise going flight only ?
We always travel flight only, it's always a cheaper option for us. We find it much easier now to book things separately and never been let down
Hi Guys, how much did you say you spent for the 3 nights? seemed a lot based on your breakfast, coffee/cake, evening meals and drinks? do you eat two full meals a day? cheers for the video
We usually have breakfast and a meal in the evening. We might have an ice cream 🍦 or a coffee ☕ during the day, but not a full meal 😀
@thechatterguys we are similar to you guys food and drink wise, we struggle to get through £120 a day though x
Hi boss. We've watched the video again and we calculated that we would spend 130€ for the pair of us on a full day in Benidorm, which includes a restaurant meal of 50€.

We would love to meet you both. Glad you enjoyed Kathmandu ❤️
Im doing flights for £238 .. includes all the extras and then Rocomar is £114 for 4 nights ... then its just spending money :)
That is fantastic! Hopefully the cost of flights is coming down again! Thanks for letting us know, Tetasuk ✈️✈️✈️ x
@ the initial price was £60 return ..but I then added , luggage, legroom , car park, insurance, transfers … which bumped it up to £238 lol
You got a very good deal, Tetasuk! Well done 👍

Why pay for a taxi..... A good LOCAL bus service from airport to benidorm 10 pounds EACH....no brainer😊
Hello Gordon. Thank you for your comment. The bus is definitely the cheapest transfer option but it doesn't do you outside your hotel 🏨 and it can be quite a long way to carry your cases from the bus stop, especially if you're not familiar with Benidorm. We always use Beniconnect for convenience and it's not much more expensive than the bus 🚌
Did I understand correctly that you estimated 5 drinks each on a night out in Beni? I wonder if that's an under estimate.
Fair point this Dave 🤣 but thing is you don't need a lot of Spanish G&Ts as most of them are free flow, so you at least get a triple..
Very interesting
Thanks Peter, appreciated 👏
Benidorm is getting expensive because of so many British visitors there going to take advantage
It's certainly getting more expensive than ever, Lucy the Benidorm Enthusiast is tipping it's going to level off soon
£21.70 ….for 2 ….LEEDS TO LONDON ( presumably return!) …..HOW 🤷🏼♂️😳👀💰💰
Hi Mark, this was the cost of the return train from two from Woking to London. We drove by car to Woking and then to Brighton. We didn't want to drive to London 😮
Not with how much Colin drinks
That's a fair point! 😆😆😆
Yes unfortunately brexit made a lot of things difficult for people. I'm sure when you get there it will be amazing.❤ ❤
Thanks Tracy 😄💕
