Fab video Lee, brilliant filming with added snippets from the series. Excellent. Not stayed at this hotel, it seems OK, pretty central. Give it a look for one of my journeys there, if it saves a bit of money, I'll give it a go. Thanks for sharing Lee, always an honest review on hotels,food,prices etc. Xx
Just got in pissed up 😂 I’ll be watching this properly tomorrow morning with a maccies breakfast I love Benidorm can’t wait for march next year 🙌🏼 have good weekend all
Stayed there last year for my birthday October 5th had 28 degrees , had a family room in pelicanos block was ok very dated only stayed on a BB basis we found that ok my 11yr old loved the pool and begs to go back there , keep up the good work Lee we are staying in the regente hotel and melia next year would be great if you could some footage
I was supposed to have been at the Sol Pelicanos on the 22nd - 29th of October, but had to cancel due to waiting for eye surgery. I'll be booking again once I've had the surgery.
It’s not as busy, but if you go to western saloon etc it’s still usually got a great atmosphere. We got lucky with the weather last January, hopefully you do
I been going to Benidorm once every year since 2019, then this year I went to Benidorm twice. one was with lads and 2nd was solo It very additive going to Benidorm lol. How many times a year do you go to Benidorm? I'll be 40 in January and looking to go to Benidorm again with lads in June for my late 40th birthday.
@Yorkshire_Lee lucky you go 6 times a year, wish I could do same. St George day, St Patrick's day, November Fiesta worth going? I might go to some of them next year
Hi Lee, looks an OK hotel. Not stayed at that hotel wen I've been to Benidorm as yet. Looks OK tbf. 👍 food looks OK too. I'm back in Benidorm for Christmas and New year, just me and the hubby,so a nice peaceful time. We love it there at Christmas and New year 😍. Thanks for sharing this hotel Lee.
I believe the La Era Park apartments were used as reception in some of the first episodes. The hotel was very rarely used for interior scenes, there’s a couple in the first series where Madge almost chokes and where Geoff is arguing with mother by the lifts. Most interior hotel scenes after series 3 were shot at “the pink house” up by the Benidorm Palace. Some interior shots were used in the Sol Pel in the early series, but very few. The hotel rooms used are the Acuarium Apartments which overlook the pool. Some interior scenes, such as Cyril Babcock’s dance class, were filmed at the Melia
You need 2 check you didn't bring bedbugs bk because there pics of them on trip adviser crawling on the beds and when we stayed there last year all our sheets were stained with bedbug poo and my matress was discusting ,i also had uncooked sausage plus our room was never clean properly ,i couldn't wait to get back home , never again ,if you look at your video when you were eating your sausage that was still pink in middle aswell 🤦♀️i hope it didn't make you bad xx

Nice hotel and great reminders of the awesome Benidorm series. Benidorm is the best place around, can't wait to get back there.

It’s a nice looking hotel. It’s definitely better than I expected.

I’ve not stayed at any of them yet. Will try them at some point. Meliá pool looks fantastic

I liked it mate. Not a bad hotel at all.
We will be in benidorm on Friday for a week 🍹🍻🍸🥂🍷✈️🌞
Hope you had a great time at Fiesta? was it worth it? I'm gonna go next year to see what it like as I've never been to fiesta before. cheers
Cheers Mark. It’s a fantastic time to go mate. Would highly recommend.
Hi Lee were heading to benidorm on the 12th of January would there be much to do there in January were staying in the Gran Hotel Bali
It’s not as busy, but if you go to western saloon etc it’s still usually got a great atmosphere. We got lucky with the weather last January, hopefully you do
@Yorkshire_Lee thank you so much I love the channel keep up the good work love the dublin episode it was very funny
Stayed at the Solana a few years ago. Wouldn't go back again unless they dropped the prices to a realistic level
Seems a bit cheaper now tbf mate. Think novelty of the show worn off
Also stayed there about ten years ago and the food was a little better, heard its gone down a bit, but what can you do, nice one, 🤡☘☘☘
Bin stoping in there since 2005 great hotel just cum back going Feb then April June octrrber all the best lee

Yeah can’t beat Benidorm mate. Definitely additive. I’ve been 6 times this year. 🥴 love the place
@Yorkshire_Lee lucky you go 6 times a year, wish I could do same. St George day, St Patrick's day, November Fiesta worth going? I might go to some of them next year
Also when you go Benidorm which website is cheapest to book flight? And accommodation? Do you book both together or separately?
👌👌
I had my 50th there a few years ago, shame pool bar is only open in July and August
Yeah shame as it’s one of KSPs
I think the first one or two series were filmed in a different hotel. The reception scenes anyway.
Yeah you’re right mate. Exteriors and pool always the sol pelicanos though.
@ ye I stayed in the early series one, not the best 🙈

You there for the Fiesta Lee?
I am mate. 😎
@Yorkshire_Lee great stuff. It's amazing. We fly out on Monday! Cannot wait.
@ please say hello if you see us
You would think one of the restaurants would import some fancy British sausages. It would make for a good marketing opportunity.
Yep, all restaurants are missing a trick with the sausage’s
😂😂have to admit they did look cooked for once, usually pale grey
How much is it to stay?
Was about 400 for four nights including flights etc
@Yorkshire_Lee that's good never fancied Benidorm but you have certainly given it a new perspective
Nice one Dan 👍
It’s a great place Pauline. Something for everyone
We’re out here now, if I see you I’ll buy you an ‘iiice cowd koppaburg’ pal
Look forward to it mate
You need 2 check you didn't bring bedbugs bk because there pics of them on trip adviser crawling on the beds and when we stayed there last year all our sheets were stained with bedbug poo and my matress was discusting ,i also had uncooked sausage plus our room was never clean properly ,i couldn't wait to get back home , never again ,if you look at your video when you were eating your sausage that was still pink in middle aswell 🤦♀️i hope it didn't make you bad xx
Thankfully no bed bugs I saw and I wasn’t ill with the sausage. Sounds like you had it bad when you stayed there.
Back in Beni tomorrow.... Let's F**king go 🍻🍻🍻
Might see you mate
@Yorkshire_Lee is right mate. 2 kopperbergs coming right up 🍻☀️
On the kopparberg. How do u drink this shite all day mate. No offense 😂😂
