RIO PARK HOTEL. Our Thoughts. 

Hey steve pleased to meet you 😂. We did have a great time. Thanks for your lovely comment

Thanks steve. As it changed much? 😂

Thank you too. hope its of some help.

Location was better than expected to be fair.

We did mate. Back to work tomorrow. The thought of it 🙈 I need a holiday

I wish we did 😂 hoping to be back in November for fiesta......if not before😝

Well we have about 50 videos of Benidorm Alice hopefully some will be of some help. You’ll either love it or hate it 😂 thanks for watching

Hey Phil. Yes lovely to meet you. I always find something I’m happy to eat 😁. I think food does vary over the year at most hotels. Hopefully be back in Benidorm soon. Definitely be there in November for our first visit to the fiesta 😎 thanks for watching

thanks Wayne. balconies do over look each other which isn't great but nothing is perfect. Thanks for watching.

@@cornwallandbeyondwithsmith8119 the balconies never looked safe. The best balconie s from the hotels we have stayed in is the Flamingo Oasis. I remember when we stayed at the Pelicanos, on the side facing the Ocas you would often see people pinching stuff from the balconies at the Ocas for the rooms on the lower floors.

Yes we did. It was better than we were expecting 👍

@@cornwallandbeyondwithsmith8119 brilliant like you said it's local to everything great review guy's 👍

Thanks Gaz 🙏

Yes we were happy enough with it. Price was a bargain which is why we booked it!

I’ve stayed in a few servigroup hotels and always enjoyed the food too. Thanks for watching

I’m sorry to here that. I’ve been Ill too for last 3 weeks. Not Covid though. I always put it down to picking something up on the plane

Always good to hear what regular visitors have to say. Thanks for watching and your your comment. 🙏👍

Have to agree with your comments. We have been to the Rio since 1976 when we lived in UK and went for short breaks when we lived about 1 1/2 hours away for 10 years. We used to drive there. Our opinion is that it was better when it was a 2 star several years ago and Jose was the General Manager. The Rio was part of a group (not MedPlaya) where all the Hotel names began with an R. The Reymar and Riviera - now Ambassada Playa 1 and 2, the Riudor, the Regente, the Rialto and the Rosamar. We were there last June and October and the decline in quality in October was quite noticeable. The food was poor choice at dinner and quite bland. The entertainment was far far too loud to be enjoyable and the hordes of feral kids running around like demented banshees was the final straw. We have booked 2 stays at the Palm Court apartments where we went earlier this year for June,10 days, Sept/October 23 days and Queens Hotel in Old Town in November for 10 days. Feel sad to say these things about the Rio, but honestly, it is not as good by a long way from what it was before. PS Rooms excellent - bar prices - outrageously over the top for Benidorm.

@@royhardy407 what great insight and thanks for sharing. We could have stayed at the queens for £200 b&b but went half board at Rio due to the option of pool etc. it’s all about personal choice and opinion. All input welcome.

@@cornwallandbeyondwithsmith8119 Its my pleasure. I suppose we are a little bit spoilt because I can speak Spanish after working in various cities for 3 years and living there for 10 years. We DO MISS Spain to be honest - its our go to country. Enjoy your further travels and thanks for the ones you have done do far, they are really entertaining and give many folks an insight into the country you are visiting. Cheers

Thanks Roy appreciate that. 🙏

Very early but think I prefer it to hanging about waiting to go home 🤔

@@cornwallandbeyondwithsmith8119 I know what you mean , we like the afternoon flights. We stayed in hotel Brisa after watching one of your videos and loved it 😄☀️☀️

@@damo1061 we had early flight home then too but was a bit hungover as we stayed out too late 😂. Glad our video was some use. Was you b&b or half board?

We did B&B as we prefer eating out plus Roman next door the food is amazing ! Benidorm is getting more and more popular isn’t it each year ​@@cornwallandbeyondwithsmith8119

Yes presidente would have been my first choice if I’m honest. We avoided muggers alley on a night time.

More Benidorm vlogs to come Richard 😜

@@cornwallandbeyondwithsmith8119 great. Look forward to them.

Yes we thought the hotel was nice. Food just wasn’t as good as other hotels we have stayed at

I guess it depends what people want. There are a lot of Spanish families holiday in Benidorm too.
