Also I went to Alicante this summer
Did you get snacks for free?
Looks like a disgusting hell hole!
I've been home 2 weeks from that hotel the food was awful you paid for the kettle the pool area was massive I've stayed in in every hotel on that side of the road fom the out door market to the indoor market even the Nero
What hotel would you say is best along that area? :)
Hotels get battered because guests just throw their stuff around the rooms and pool areas...look at the mess yous have created in a few days lol. At least tidy your room before doing a review. A lot of guests are bed and breakfast and most guests know the rooms don't have a kettle. Some people do upgrade on arrival checkout FB, it's asked every other day. What a rubbish review!
That hotel is a shit hole ,we stayed last year and my matress was discusting,i had to complain and all the bedding on our beds had stained bedbug poo marks on them 🤮 one morning i went 2 bite in2 my sausage and it was uncooked ,the waitress took it back to the kitchen but they never took the tray off with the rest of them in , also rooms never cleaned properly dirty floors , mirrors ,sticky marks on sides ,(never again) 👎
We are glad it just wasn’t us, such better value hotels available in Benidorm! 😍
@@RonanandAlex yes try the ambassador next time its lovely ,we stayed there in july ,food is great with proper english bacon
We sure will, any other recommendations we can fully recommend RH Royal, that’s where we were moved to, we have that review coming out this coming Friday!
@@RonanandAlex 👍
Dumb ass review,man the fek up
Better hotels
We totally agree, the next review is about the RH Royal!
I got stuck in the lift 🤣true story 20 minutes later I was free
Rather you than us!
I have found that Alaska Airlines First Class features can be more fully shown on the longer flights from west coast to east coast or to Hawaii. The pattern on the bulkhead in front of you is on all of the older Alaska Airlines aircraft. It is an indigenous pattern from the State of Alaska.
Thanks we really would love to try Alaska on one of them flights, maybe next year! As Hawaii is on the list! That now makes sense, we think it could have been done with maybe a better hard wearing material! Thanks for the info 🤩
That take off roll was a bit longer than I would expect. Madrid has a relatively high elevation (around 2000 feet), but still seemed a bit longer than I'd expected from a CRJ on such a short flight.
We didn’t really have any expectations but it did seem a rather long roll! But maybe optimum engine us etc?
Thank you. Flying similarly soon.
Have fun!
5 people in that shower would be impressive! No way are you getting more than 3 in....
Maybe 5 Alex’s…. 😂
Hello, thank you for the review. Are there any snorkeling, scuba diving or day tour island activities for you to sign up at the resort
Hey! Thanks for watching! Yes you can sign up to activities but they are at a premium, we would recommend looking online for people which provide them which will be a lot cheaper! 😀 It’s an amazing resort though!
Very surprised at your review. The popular Coolist channel put this hotel at number 1
Oh really? We were just not impressed, the price point though is very attractive! Plus it probably depends on the guests that week, on how fun the resort is!
Good video 🎉
Thanks so much!😀
Just gotta say - you might want to add subtitles to your videos. I am an American and I can barely understand a word you’re saying!!!!! If u want more subscribers consider adding titles to your clips!!
Thanks! I thought youtube auto added will look at adding! :)
@@RonanandAlexI’m American and I understood every word so they don’t speak for all of us. Anyone knows that you can add CC to any video
@@Shana911 Thanks! Hope you enjoyed!
@@Shana911agreed, no issues for this American. If the lot of you had a Scouse or Geordie accent I would agreed with needing subtitles 😂
Nice review
Thank You! 😀
Whst country is this??
Thailand!
Did you mention that you are connecting to Mexico from Miami? If so, you would have had access to their Admirals Club (not Flagship), same with any other of their short haul Caribbean/Puerto Rico and Latin America destinations.
Sadly not, we were heading off onto a cruise! Thankfully we got to try the Flagship Lounge out on the trip back from Miami to Madrid 😍 this review is upcoming in the next month or so 😍
Great video, lloved it, I have worked there and loved it as fright supervisor
We loved flying Iberia! We sure would recommend! 😍 if you haven’t dropped up a sub we have plenty more coming up!
I was on that cruise 😂
Oh really? Did you enjoy it?
Boys. Enunciate and don’t mumble. Can’t hear you. Also you flew to OAK, across the Bay from San Francisco. We have our own Airport. SFO.
Thanks for the feedback, we will try! Although Oakland did just have that name change to San Francisco Bay “Airport” plus for most travellers if the flights cheaper they will book!
@@RonanandAlex SFO has a law site against OAK. I live in San Francisco and fly out of SFO. I would fly out of OAK if I lived in the East Bay or Oakland.
@@billsfo6400 That is interesting! Yes we flew into OAK and out of SFO tbh OAK felt easier to navigate we feel because of the size of maybe the airport!
Agree on the enunciating front. Had to turn on subtitles to follow. 😅
@@lucchese20 Still very new to all of this hopefully we will improve as time goes on!
£3.50 for a bar of chocolate? M&S has always been a ripoff.
In all honesty… Tony which we would say is of similar quality is usually that price although regularly on offers in supermarkets we think £2 would be the right price point!
💩
Nice, ty.
Glad you enjoyed it’s
All in high vi's jackets. Something tells me its a transport police training exercise
It sure was!
Hello, man standing up in the back at 24:08 is former Spain’s president Jose María Aznar.
We did wonder who it was! 👀
@@RonanandAlex No you didnt. Stop lying.

Where did you do your immigration/customs? JFK or SFO? Thanks for the videos.
Hey! No worries hope you enjoyed it and hit that subscribe button 😝 We cleared customs in JFK which I think we show in the Iberia video, I would recommend going via JFK as split the journey up especially if your in Business! We also have global entry now!
@@RonanandAlex how long did it take you two to go through Immigration/Customs with Global Entry at JFK? Thanks for the video.
@@gdb5843 we were through customs in about 5 mins! So very quick!

Must have said something mean on Facebook

how often do you guys get upgraded?
With being diamond members we regularly see upgrades, especially at the Bankside!

Same food I had in my recent Madrid Lima and it was amazing
We really enjoyed it, it may not be as grand as other airlines but we didn’t leave the plane bloated! 👀
@@RonanandAlex I find the food second to none. Even better than Qatar Airways. But of course I am spanish and used to certain flavours like the octopus 😂 So I am a bit biased. Lots of issue to improve like baggage 🧳 delivery and saturation of the ViP lounges
Oh yes we found the food great even for our British taste! It may not look as grand but it certainly is tasty. The baggage we have to agree with and the Lounge thankfully was not to bad in Madrid when we flew but could be abit bigger. If you haven’t already feel free to subscribe as we have some more Spanish flights coming up over the year! 😍
@@RonanandAlex sure
AA transcon is the best in the US, I'd say they're better than what Delta and United offer on the same competitive routes, AA offers better coursed catering comparably and you have access to their flagship lounges. JFK-LAX/SFO are my most frequent domestic routes, and the crews are most often great and some even remember you from previous flights.
We certainly found that, and would definitely do it again - we loved the crew member onboard she was fantastic such great service! 😍
Why does the guy getting arrested have a police jacket on?
It was a training exercise! 😀
It's a training but it looks like the public can watch it
He will not try fare dodging again.
Let's hope not.... but a great view inside how they train for certain situations!
Where were they when the guy was getting stabbed up on the train the other month? Inset day?
Yes because the cops will magically appear exactly when a crime is being committed like they're batman
@@Tspeedy2024 Very true did they ever catch the guy? the news has gone very quiet on these cultural enrichment episodes.;
This was a training exercise!
I don’t suppose you know if certain times are busier than others and which would be the best time to start boarding . I’m thinking early morning 6ish ?
The mornings most likely will be busy due to commuters and the same in the evening, We would recommend lunchtime!
hi....do they weight the carry on luggage for business class ..and how many piece one would take ?
Hey! We did have our luggage weighed on all sectors!
Eurostar gets you from city center to city center. Security is more efficient than flying. You can bring more liquids. The seating is more comfortable. When you factor in the time to get to the airport that’s usually 30 minutes outside of a city, security, checking luggage, and then taking transportation to your destination in the other city, the train wins every time.
We totally agree, we are actually booked to go to Cologne via Eurostar in July with a change in Brussels!
Thank you, this was helpful as I'm planning to use the Eurostar this year, for the first time in ages. The last time I went, the terminal was at Waterloo. That's funny you say to avoid getting a table seat because it means having to face a stranger the whole journey. In the 1980s, practically all seats in UK trains were like that, so I had a real phobia about train travel. I thought it was just me, because no one else seemed to mind it at all.
Keith, that is great to hear and so glad you found it useful was there any bits you really enjoyed of the video and anything we could improve? 😀 More videos to come so if you would be so kind if you haven’t already to subscribe! 😀
@@RonanandAlex I've just subscribed. I wonder if you need a smartphone to travel by Eurostar to Brussels and other places in Europe? I noticed that this last year, it wasn't possible to print out train tickets at home on Trainline for UK train journeys. The tickets either had to be on a smartphone or printed out at the station. This gave me some doubts, as I'd be a bit wary of trying to print out tickets at a machine at a foreign train station.
@@keithbessant No need for a smartphone, if your purchase your ticket from the "National" Provider they give you the option usually of printing, if not St Pancras at the eurostar desk can sell any tickets on the former Thalys which is now eurostar 😀
@@RonanandAlex OK many thanks for your help.
Great video! Thinking about staying here
We love Bankside, for the right price it’s an amazing hotel! We have a video in September coming up of the Hilton Park Lane!
Stayed here a couple of weeks ago. 4star stops on the ground floor. Our room had no free water or chocolates. What it did have was the previous occupants long hairs all over the room. And a terrible smell coming up through the sink. Our room was dirty, but bedding was clean. They did do a good breakfast. 👍 The rooftop pool was just above the temperature of ice!!
It is interesting people seem to have differing views of this hotel - we are back to Benidorm in September to a different hotel so will be able to compared
