I stayed in the old town in April and loved it ❤ the whole experience of levante and poniente it’s all awesome. I just love the lifestyle and sunshine it’s gorgeous
I went right to the far end of poniente and had lunch a a couple of beers in a small restaurant bar , I think I was the only brit there, it was really good food, beer and service, really enjoyed it
It's got it all hasn't it. You want to relax, it's got it. You want complete madness, it's got it. You want a nice meal with some beautiful scenery, it's got. Literally, it's got everything. ❤
Fabulous , I love that end Lucy , I'm disabled so it's easier on the beach and in the water coz it's not rocky and the water is more gentle , but I love everything about benidorm , I saw the the exhibition with all the colourful animals fantastic and I'm looking forward to seeing this new outside exhibition , I can't wait , we will be there in June, so see you soon xxx
Heading there in three weeks, staying at the sunset cliffs apartments. The last two years, we stayed at sunset waves. Absolutely loved it there. Anyone thinking of heading to benidorm and want quality accommodation. You should consider those apartments you won't be disappointed.
Looks great definitely going to have a walk towards the Bali and venture further than dove park, make a welcome change to levante and the busy bars......
Hi Lucy, fab video as always. This side of Benidorm is absolutely my favourite. It just invites you to relax. We saw the colourful sculptures that were there last year and the backdrop with the sea was amazing. Looking forward to some more videos of this area.
Lucy, I had several beautiful meals along with beer at Fresh Restaurant. 👌 The view at nighttime looking at the beach is stunning, so relaxing.. Strolling into old town, having a beer and meal in Vincent's great staff.👌 There is plenty to do around the old town.. Lucy 👍
Best side for me along with La Cala Finestrat are my fav areas. But don't tell everyone! Haha. Definitely not posh just a nice atmosphere with nicer restaurants and bars.
@@Carol_in_Spain the hotel is still there next to the new Delfin tower its just not opened I thought they shut it temporary because they were building tower and it would have opened back up ..its sad to see it empty
Thanks Lucy. I love these vlogs, as it opens up the whole resort to visitors who never venture beyond the Levante end of town. I'd love to see more of the top end around the Bali Hotel, as it hardly ever gets seen. Anyway, top girl! 😘😘
Well done spot on, it was your vid's and your Facebook group and better health that got me back into going to Benidorm. I am disabled and you helped me with loads. Old Town and this area is fab for us and have been 3 times in 13 months. I just can not get my adult kids to get away from the reputation of Blackpool in the sun and the TV program. Thank you once again. We hope to be back on the prom as shown here in Nov/ dec but in an apartment up near Refuel for a change from a hotel with a fantastic sea view.
Hi Lucy lovely scenic video and yes Poniente shows a completely different side of Benidorm a side that is seldom shown in the UK but have seen programs in Ireland about it.Look Levante is gorgeous i absolutely love walking the promenade and i have nothing what so ever about people enjoying a good drink but at times the drinking goes to far and some of these individuals will experience severe health problems later in life . For me its about striking a Balance and at times on the Levante side for me that has not being achieved. Good Luck Lucy. David
I never miss out on a walk or 2, during a Benidorm visit, from the Old town to the hill at the end of Poniente beach and back. Such a sifferent vibe from Lavante beach walk. Both fab areas in their own ways. ;-]
love your video. stayed at the Poseidon Hotel in April loved the hotel and the area, very Spanish and quiet, definately not what you expect when you say Benidorm. will be staying here again later this year.
HI I agree with your comments Benidorm has something for everyone We prefer the old town and love to wander around the streets and the shops. Like you I am originally for Yorkshire so great minds think alike LOL
Lucy , I no people who have been to benidorm and thought that ,,the brit strip,, rincon area was it.. didn't even know about the old town and the laponte side. Or even to walk back straight up from the beaches. So much much more on offer. Not to mention la cala, albir, altea, all only a bus ride away. Anyway back June 11th for our 3rd visit of the year, then back September.
Hi lucy 👋 i love that area its so relaxing ,we stayed right down the bottom 2 years ago and last year stayed levante side and also enjoyed that ,we should be coming back in 6wks time but ive got bloody pneumonia atm and just prey i pick up in time😢xx
The old town & Poniente beach front is the best part of Benidorm in my opinion, Levante is nice but just love the old town & the walk from Dove park along Poniente front, we usually walk right to the end, stop of for a couple of drinks & see the cats at the end. 🥃☕😁🐈🐱 I really wish more British people would venture down here, as like you say Benidorm isn't just party central & full of boozed up Brits. 😂 Cheers Lucy. 👍☕🍹🌴😉 xx
This video has made me want to change my hotel for my October visit Lucy. I'm booked in the Sol Pelicanos, and it'll be 50 years since I was last in Benidorm at the then Hotel Riviera. But as I've got older, my tolerance of the, er, "livlier" type of tourist has lessened. LOL
Hi Lucy, can you do a video of the quickest way to walk from the end of Poniente beach through to Finestrat beach on foot. Is it over mount benidorm? x
Thanks Lucy-just saying to June this morning that videos of the best area of Benidorm are scarce. Coming over end May to Corona del Mar for both of our retirements, so can join those rowdy pensioners jigging on the beach👯Will pop along to see you ❤
Hi Lucy Can you do a review of hotels in this area please This is our favourite part of Benidorm…. Nip to the strip then retest to the quite part of town Thanx Ian and Jen xx
Is there a bus that runs from Rincon du loix to the far end of Poniente? Im over next week, and fancy doing the walk back to Rincon from there - just not sure im fit enough to walk both ways!
Its an odd question but what does Benidorm smell like? Sometimes places smell different the moment you get off the plane. I remember holidays in Spain when i was a child, and it smelled of Ambre Solaire coconut oil, cigars, sandalwood furniture and lemony men's cologne. What does it smell like to you?
Great video... Spoiler alert; I've been to Spain a lot but have been put off in the past by Benidorm. This looks great though. I'm actually thinking now it'd be great to stay this side and maybe do a couple of nights on the last on the Levante side! 😅
Hi lucy im sure a few years ago you went in what is now called Saltoki the owner was a friend you said had known him a long time. Does he still own it and rebranded it or sold it to Who ecer owns Saltoki. Always stay pontiente now.
Hi Lucy, it's damien. Me and sandra met you yesterday in the triangle bar, we couldn't get the e sims to work on our phones. I have tried everything the agent suggested but still not working. I am using the hotel WiFi at the moment. We were going to come back to triangle bar to spend the afternoon there on Sunday to get a selfie with you and enjoy the karaoke but sandra as told me you will not be there tomorrow x
Love Poniente beach has developed more in last few years nice and laid back.Please don't encourage the stag, hens and lager louts to venture down there, keep it nice!
Yes its well worth going there. But dont tell too many people or it will get ruined. We walk all along there all the way down to La Cala. Can I tell you a secret go in Poker they do a large coffee for €2 and the two blokes who run the place are great. The beach at this end is always quiet, no people trying to sell you cocktails made from god knows what. Living inland its great to come down a couple of times a week. Not sure about the 'new' artworks, although they are better than the huge lumps of metal that were there before. Good video as usual....Only thing missing is a good fish n chip shop... But Rays2 does for us everytime.. Just means a longer walk with more people around.
Well it does have something for EVERYONE .....YES something for miserable people to go home and complain about ..... Come along but make sure you don't enjoy 😉
The older I've got the more I appreciate the Poniente side of town. Nice video. Thanks
I stayed in the old town in April and loved it ❤ the whole experience of levante and poniente it’s all awesome. I just love the lifestyle and sunshine it’s gorgeous
We stayed on the Poniente side last year and loved it!
I went right to the far end of poniente and had lunch a a couple of beers in a small restaurant bar , I think I was the only brit there, it was really good food, beer and service, really enjoyed it

Loved it there, Lucy an definitely coming back .
I love that walk from the old town to la Cala.😎
Hi Lucy thanks for another great update thats a long walk but well worth it lots of places to stop and get a coffee and snack
Looks great definitely going to have a walk towards the Bali and venture further than dove park, make a welcome change to levante and the busy bars......
Morning Lucy. We love a stroll along Poniente prom when in resort and highly recommend. Great video as always xx
Poniente is my favorite ! Best wishes from The Netherlands ❤️
Hi Lucy, fab video as always. This side of Benidorm is absolutely my favourite. It just invites you to relax.
We saw the colourful sculptures that were there last year and the backdrop with the sea was amazing. Looking forward to some more videos of this area.
Lovely video, those swans look so beuatiful!

Very family oriented
Great video as always Lucy.
I love the Poniente side and I am certainly not posh 😀
I am just so sad that Hotel Gran Delfin has gone.
brilliant hotel do you know why it closed down
@@johnmacleod730 They demolished it to build a block of apartments. Very sad.
@@Carol_in_Spain the hotel is still there next to the new Delfin tower its just not opened I thought they shut it temporary because they were building tower and it would have opened back up ..its sad to see it empty
Hello Lucy, what a Lovely video, Benidorm will always be Great in every aspect of the word.🎆
Thanks Lucy. I love these vlogs, as it opens up the whole resort to visitors who never venture beyond the Levante end of town. I'd love to see more of the top end around the Bali Hotel, as it hardly ever gets seen. Anyway, top girl! 😘😘
Thanks, we're planning one round there soon ❤
Looking forward to it
Thanks for the video Lucy
Thank you, Lucy, and and team for the video. We walked that end last your right to the end. It's a lovely walk.
Finestrat is beautiful as well i stayed at hotel bali with my wife first week of april great vids as always ❤
Great video Lucy, very informative about the art sculptures. xxx

We often go to the beach on that side, book apartments on that side and enjoy a walk along the front to La Cala and back.
What a lovley blog i went down there way last year for a walk it is so lovley down there keep safe and keep smiling
We have just come back from staying at the H10 Poniente , what an fantastic area and so clean too. We loved it. Thanks Lucy 😊
Glad you enjoyed 😊
Nice video 🙂👍
I never miss out on a walk or 2, during a Benidorm visit, from the Old town to the hill at the end of Poniente beach and back. Such a sifferent vibe from Lavante beach walk. Both fab areas in their own ways. ;-]
absolutely 👍
Great to see a different side to Benidorm, thanks Lucy!
Seen the zumba class last week when we walked from poniente to rincon de loix.
Hi Lucy think I will have a walk down that side of benidorm when I come over in june. Nice video
great video thank you
totally agree with your views as benidorm as so much to offer for all i love places like altea albir
love your video. stayed at the Poseidon Hotel in April loved the hotel and the area, very Spanish and quiet, definately not what you expect when you say Benidorm. will be staying here again later this year.
Hi Lucy Love that side of Benidorm
Great vlog Lucy! Looks fab there. Watching from Melbourne 👍🇪🇸🇦🇺
And what r u waiting to come over?
Great video. That side of Benidorm is absolutely and criminally underrated.
Was there over a week ago stayed in a hotel on the front didn’t walk that far down though so missed out on seeing all the art will have to go back x
Yesss you sure will hehe ❤
HI I agree with your comments Benidorm has something for everyone We prefer the old town and love to wander around the streets and the shops. Like you I am originally for Yorkshire so great minds think alike LOL
Yesss ❤
@@LucyYoungTBE I believe you were Leeds? I was Scarborough
@@janetteno3 That's right, used to go to Scarborough a lot as a kid 😁
Lucy I love the poniente side I’ve been going there for 30 years.👍🏴🇬🇧💯
We stay at the Posieden Playa can't wait for next year
I love walking around that side of Benidorm what a Difference I always start from a coffee at fresh it used to be coach and Horses
We always in the old town Lucy best deals and favourite part my friend is currently at the H10
This is my favourite area of the town, best beach too as there's no rock shelf in the sea to stub toes on
Great video Lucy. Love this side of Benidorm , had some excellent food at Fresh the other week.
Yes that side is very nice 👍
Hi Lucy just got home from benidrom 😢 got to wait till sept now again (great video tho) 😊 from Tc and Gal one 😊
Love the Poniente area. Stay in H10 Porto Poniente. It’s brilliant. x
I stayed there last year at my friends apartment, it’s absolutely beautiful 😍
Lucy , I no people who have been to benidorm and thought that ,,the brit strip,, rincon area was it.. didn't even know about the old town and the laponte side. Or even to walk back straight up from the beaches. So much much more on offer. Not to mention la cala, albir, altea, all only a bus ride away. Anyway back June 11th for our 3rd visit of the year, then back September.
Benidorm has 3 postal codes.
Looks good to me 😊
Hi lucy 👋 i love that area its so relaxing ,we stayed right down the bottom 2 years ago and last year stayed levante side and also enjoyed that ,we should be coming back in 6wks time but ive got bloody pneumonia atm and just prey i pick up in time😢xx

Hi there great video thinking of going to Benidorm soon will be my first time where is the poniente beach is it after the old town ?x
Yes, if you're coming from the Levante side 👍
We really enjoyed our stay in the Villa del Mar hotel
This video has made me want to change my hotel for my October visit Lucy. I'm booked in the Sol Pelicanos, and it'll be 50 years since I was last in Benidorm at the then Hotel Riviera. But as I've got older, my tolerance of the, er, "livlier" type of tourist has lessened. LOL
Eeeeek you're right in the thick of it at Pelicanos too 😬
I know. But there are a few eateries around there that I'm looking forward to trying. So not all bad eh ?. LOL
Theirs only so much of that livelier crowd that i can tolerate after a certain point it gets annoying and animal like
Hi Lucy, can you do a video of the quickest way to walk from the end of Poniente beach through to Finestrat beach on foot. Is it over mount benidorm? x
West beach (poniente) always. Posh beaches, in a recent poll, Marbella came last and Sitges (think Brighton with sunshine) came near the top.
Fresh Gastrobar make the best Strawberry Daiquiri’s! 🤤🍓
Thanks Lucy-just saying to June this morning that videos of the best area of Benidorm are scarce. Coming over end May to Corona del Mar for both of our retirements, so can join those rowdy pensioners jigging on the beach👯Will pop along to see you ❤
Haaa can't wait to see yous Zumba-ing 😁👍
Hi Lucy Tam from Bathgate here great video like going to la calla but usually get the bus need to try and walk it next time
Have a go, plenty of places to stop if you need a refreshment break lol xx
Hi Lucy, love the channel - have you done any vlogs regarding taxis and taxi ranks in Benidorm, we are coming over soon and mobility not great. Thanks
A'reyt Lucy. Walking on that beautiful sea front, but dreaming of Wembley?
Hahaha yesss
Wish i was there im coming to spain to do some work in my friends apartment i hope to get into benidorm for a couple of days ❤❤❤
Hi Lucy
Can you do a review of hotels in this area please
This is our favourite part of Benidorm…. Nip to the strip then retest to the quite part of town
Thanx Ian and Jen xx
Yeah we might put a vote out and do a top 5 or something like that to start then so some 'look inside' videos 👍
Is there a bus that runs from Rincon du loix to the far end of Poniente? Im over next week, and fancy doing the walk back to Rincon from there - just not sure im fit enough to walk both ways!
Number 2 from Rincon near beach or just near the Casino Check the stops at the bus stops
Its an odd question but what does Benidorm smell like? Sometimes places smell different the moment you get off the plane. I remember holidays in Spain when i was a child, and it smelled of Ambre Solaire coconut oil, cigars, sandalwood furniture and lemony men's cologne. What does it smell like to you?
👌👌👍
Pontiente side is nice, not so far to english street if you want to party
Great video... Spoiler alert; I've been to Spain a lot but have been put off in the past by Benidorm. This looks great though. I'm actually thinking now it'd be great to stay this side and maybe do a couple of nights on the last on the Levante side! 😅

SHUSHHHHH don't tell everyone cos if it gets like the other end I'll stop coming
Amazes that people go to Benidorm and don’t visit poniente or the old town it’s only 20 minute or so walk and you’re in a totally different resort
Hi Lucy, it's damien. Me and sandra met you yesterday in the triangle bar, we couldn't get the e sims to work on our phones. I have tried everything the agent suggested but still not working. I am using the hotel WiFi at the moment. We were going to come back to triangle bar to spend the afternoon there on Sunday to get a selfie with you and enjoy the karaoke but sandra as told me you will not be there tomorrow x
Hey Lucy love X
Hiya 😊
how long does it take to walk from the town center?
I love the pavements on Poniente Spanish are so good with colour
Hi Lucy! ❤
the far end i called millionaires row ive stayed down there
Love Poniente beach has developed more in last few years nice and laid back.Please don't encourage the stag, hens and lager louts to venture down there, keep it nice!
Posh and Benidorm in the same sentence 😂😂😂 that’s funny..
Yes its well worth going there. But dont tell too many people or it will get ruined. We walk all along there all the way down to La Cala.

Hotels ?
Benidorm has lots of hotels everywhere . *Gran Bali Hotel* ?
I don't think so 😕😕😕!
Benidorm is not worth visiting at all,end of story
Well it does have something for EVERYONE .....YES something for miserable people to go home and complain about ..... Come along but make sure you don't enjoy 😉
Did your mum meet your dad there
