    Sometimes you pay for that extra bit of quality and this is one of those times. Wow. Really impressed. Helios is now on my list.

    Love the Helios.! My late husband and I spent Christmas and New Year there, for 8 years on the trot. Gala dinners were out of this world, and the entertainment was amazing. Also spent several summer holidays there. One of the best hotels in Benidorm.

    Loving the room very very nice. As you said the balcony is big! To be fair the view isn't unpleasent. Bet it looks good at night when the other hotels etc are illuminated . 😊Hotel looks top drawer, nicely laid out and the outside areas too. Food looked top quality, delicious, very colourful array.😊😊😊😁

    Nice to see Damon and Simon from a fellow honorary Brummie! Very nice hotel I loved the well kept grounds some beautiful plants. Nice modern room and ensuite very tasteful and a colourful array of good food. For two the price is a good deal and what the hotel provides well worth the money. Thank you again Paul for a well researched beautifully filmed video. I am so happy to be member and appreciate the high quality and insight of your channel ❤️x

    Benidorm está mejorando en todos los aspectos para ofrecer más calidad y recibir turistas con mayor nivel adquisitivo. Por tanto la calidad hay que pagarla. Más servicio, más calidad, un mejor Benidorm para todos.

    Stayed in Helios few years ago and found it very nice. Just because there’s an air con unit doesn’t mean it’s switched on for guests to use. Stayed in calypso in April when it was 23/24 but no air con and was told by reception it doesn’t go by temperatures but dates! Couldn’t have balcony door open as we looking onto Morgans tavern, so very noisy

    I spent 6 nights here at Easter and was in room 923,opposite where you stayed. The rooms are the same size but the beds are different. Mine had 2 single beds at 90 cm each. Yours was a double at 150 cm. The room seems bigger but it is because the bed is not as wide. We were not that bothered by the city view as we did not spend much time on the balcony anyway. The food was good but not as good as the Riviera that we had stayed in last summer.

    Have stayed at Helios but years ago. Certainly seems to have improved. My lasting memory was of an over zealous restaurant manager that wanted you lined up before being allowed into dining area. Spoilt the whole holiday.

    It's one of our favourite hotels!! Can remember the pool was lovely and hot, and the lifeguards were fantastic with a child that had mobility issues. The food was lovely . I remember having salmon for my lunch, which was delicious 😋
    You never seem to see this hotel in the brochures anymore. I'm not sure why!! Thanks for sharing your video of the Helios 😊

Fantastic looking food and beautiful honeycomb for breakfast. If I do go to Benidorm this is definitely on my bucket list.❤ That's great value compared to here in Scotland.
