Yes, Julie and me are off to Benidorm again at the end of May for two weeks, (we only got back a month ago), and we are once again staying at the Villa De Benidorm. Sanji, loved your latest video, only complaint is we didn't see the Villa :D

Julie and I first went to Benidorm, (she had been there several times before), as fellow musicians wanting to get to know each other better, and we are now married - now doesn't that say something about Beni?

I must admit that when I was first approached to accompany Julie on an all inclusive holiday which she had already booked back in January 2003 to Benidorm, (if you want to know what kindness is, meet Julie :wink: ), I was a little apprehensive! Benidorm, home of the Lager Lout and low life :shock: How wrong I was. Isn't it awful how a few incidents back in the '70's tarnish one's view of a place they have never been to.

I fell in love with Benidorm at first sight! I am really looking forward to going back to what are now familiar places. Familiar people too. Not just the Hotel staff and other locals, but artists like Mike St John (Uncle Mike to us), Danny Downing, Danny Dean, Tony Scott, Jason Kane, and of course, that little Yorkshire Comedian, Gary George. There are many others, but I must not miss out Amanda and Kym, who are Abbaesque

I will be there on monday for my FIFTH visit this year. I try to go once a month if I can. (Except august which is a bit too warm until we get the aircon fitted)

I just love it there.

Hi CATHYBABE7 ... I have tagged your post on to this previous similar topic.

No doubt some members (not mentioning any names, such as Sanji & Pebbles :whoops ) will have dozens more trips to add to their previous totals.

I have been that many times i have lost count, although i have been to other places and had a good holiday i always seem to compare it to Benidorm, for me there is nothing to beat Benidorm for entertainment, regardless of the weather there is always plenty to do. This year i went in March, going back in December. I have tried to stay away, but in all honesty, there is nowhere to match it. I just love it :tup

We have been 12 times.The first time in 1992. We have stayed in seven different hotels.
We have been to lots of other places (mostly Spanish) but love Benidorm.
I keep details of all our holidays in a database so that I know exactly when and where we have been.

The first time we went was 1976 travelled with my late parents, hubby and baby, stayed at the Rio Park, our room overlooked some herding goats, and we loved it. For some reason, cant think what, we didnt return until 2004 just me and hubby, we have been six times since then and it is our favourite place for many reasons but the overriding one, being value for money.
