Well I live in blackpool and would like to say Thanks Lee for always being great about the place. If we had the weather it would be fantastic. Benidorm is great as well, never been disappointed. It has everything what you want it to have. Going again in a few weeks and booked again for next year. People I tell to go and do love it!

The people that say it’s like Blackpool in the sun haven’t been to either places recently. There’s something for everyone in Benidorm. Last time I went to Blackpool there were loads of tarmac pavements covered in discarded chewing gum & the place stank of chip oil that needed changing.

July and August are dead in the bars and strip in Benidorm compared to the rest of the year, some British bars actually closed and some Entertainers take their holidays! It's because all the hotels are full of families, many in all inclusive stays who don't venture out to the strip. It's a great time to visit if you like brilliant weather and a quieter holiday

The buildings and infrastructure in Benidorm look modern, clean, with interesting facades, whereas Blackpool just looks dismal and dilapidated, even when the sun is shining - which doesn't appear to happen often.
