This review has been supplied to us by our reader Tracy Allen who went to Benidorm with 5 friends on a  hen weekend.

“Benidorm’s the place to spend you hen party. It didn’t cost us an arm and a leg so if you are looking for cheap holidays Flamingo’s in Benidorm is the place to go. We arrived on the friday afternoon and came home on the sunday night and it was party,party,party all the way. We didn’t need any of the entertainment at the hotel as there was so much to do in the town, other people staying at the hotel said the entertainment wasn’t very good but i can’t comment on that.

Benidorm

Our rooms were all nice, large and clean and the staff were really helpfull, telling us the best places to go in the evenings.
We went all inclusive which was great as we didn’t have to find any money for food and had plenty to drink (free) in the hotel bar before hitting the town. The food was really good, a lot better than we expected. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and would definitely go back and stay at the same hotel.”

Benidorm is moving to adventure sports to try and attract new young British tourists. The Town Hall says it wants to open new lines of business with the travel companies given that the sales for next summer are already closed.

The new idea was launched by the local councillor for tourism, Manuel Cabezuelos, who was giving his opinions of the World Travel Market held earlier this week in London.

Benidorm tourist department had meetings in London with Thomson on the adventure sports idea, with rambling, paragliding and bungee jumping among the activities on offer.

Manuel Cabezuelos also met in London with the U.K. Police Federation, a body with 140,000 members, and invited them to choose Benidorm for their holidays.
