it looks lovely now but i lived it when we used to go many years ago, it was our favourite hotel to stay at then and i wouldnt hesitate to go back again one day.
We're regulars at the Riudor. In fact we're here now. It's lovely as much as I loved the old Riudor after just 4 days im used to everything now it's a really good job done. Really love it 😀 x
Hey lucy as you me and wife have been watching all your videos since well over at least a year and half ago and your one of the reasons i came back to benidorm because i absolutely love it there and your videos were just so informative x as you may know me and my wife had the 2 weeks at the flamingo beach last august for our honeymoon x now we’ve returned and now staying at the hotel marina x hope to see you soon going back home next monday 16th x
I've seen this hotel change from a 2* to a 4* in the 26 years I've been staying there. Looking forward to my next visit in January for my husbands 60th ❤️
Should have been staying there April 23rd for 2 weeks but obviously it didn't open until May 2nd so I was offered the Don Pancho instead, so while I have been in Benidorm I watched the last week of frenzied activity and was amazed when I called in on day one of opening. Very impressed with what I've seen and looking forward to returning in July, I frequent the Riudor Upto 5 times a year.
@@silvershoes9724 It is easily the best hotel in Benidorm the furnishings are really luxurious, rooms spotlessly clean food first class all staff are so polite it's like going back in time, evening entertainment great especially Pablo Bloom not to be missed. Well situated on the Mediterrano 2mi Utes from levante beach.
Thanks for this! Great vid! I'm going to be staying there for my first trip to Benidorm next week and was dying to see what the pool looks like now, it looks great, so excited now 😁
hi Lucy, love your channel, I’ve only recently discovered it as thinking about booking a holiday to Benidorm, you've definitely given me more of an idea of what it's like there. you are so lucky getting to live in the sun 🌞
Hi silvershoes please go to benidorm theres something for everyone nice bars (winners being the best) fantastic places to eat great shopping and entertainmenta plenty even if you get a rainy day
Stayed here must of been 30 years ago. Lucy to young to remember, but pre internet days travel agents used to do "allocation on arrival" holidays where they would guarantee a certain star rated hotel in a resort of your choice. Obviously trying to last minute sell underbooked hotels. We were sent to the Riudor. It was awful and vowed never again. Stayed Calypso this March overlooking Riudor and when we left on 31st I didn't think in anyway that this hotel would be ready to open in May. They must have worked so hard. Have to say the refurb looks really nice and would now consider Riudor again due location and apparent facilities. Thanks Lucy👍
Oh yes allocation on arrival holidays I remember those!! I went on one such holiday back in 2003, I'd have been 21 at the time. It was to Mallorca, beautiful island but unfortunately, the hotel we were allocated was grim! 😩
Hi lucy what a lovly hotel it looks so lovley and quite .will you show us round some more hotels that have been done up please as i cannot make my mind up were to stay next year well i might book this one as so lovley thank you lucy for a good blog again you keep safe and keep smiling
Great looking hotel which I have passed many times but sadly the location would prevent me from staying there, right on the door step to some of the busiest bars means you wont get much sleep at this hotel.
Arriving next week and looking forward to the new pool. Hopefully a lot warmer than it used to be when very deep. Room redecorations look very nice as well Dos San Miguel, por favour Paco.
Hi Lucy Tam from Bathgate here stayed there about a year before covid looks really nice now great location the girls should be arriving as I am writing this x
Hi Lucy, great content yet again We will be driving over in July staying at the Helios. Just wondering if you could you please advise on cheap or free secure parking? Or, shed any light on street parking colour codes etc Many thanks Jon
Hi john and liz here from Belfast. Loved the ruidor. Stayed there twice. Great renovations. Lucy we're over on 28th may staying in santa faz. Do you know if winners will be showing the champions league final match. Liverpool v real Madrid?. Be nice to see you. Love your videos.
I first went to this hotel in 1975 my parents became good friends with Vincent and his wife we would go 3 to 4 times a year so many happy memories of this hotel where the shops and restaurants are next door was a football pitch I will be returning as I have since 1975
Hi Lucy. My daughter booked for herself and my grandaughter aged 17 today in Ruidor. I phoned to make sure this was ok and they said no, she has to be 18 , hence she’s had to cancel. We’re all booked in there for next Feb as it’s my 60th, the only reason we booked it was because she would now be able to go. I don’t know why but the hotel doesn’t seem to have a clue about these new laws. I just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem and if there was anything they could do.
Only thing that lets this place down by what iv heard is the tiny shallow swimming pool..I can forgo that though so will be booking for sept hopefully 😁
Hi Lucy are you ok you sound as if you have a wee cold remember to take care of yourself the Riudor looks amazing have stayed there before is a very friendly hotel staff always ready to help
ANOTHER EXELENT REVIEW OF THE HOTEL LUCY, THANKS XXX. BET YOU CAN STILL HEAR YOU LADIES IN YOUR HIGH HEELS AND HARD SHOES CLUMPING AROUND ABOVE,NOWTS NEW
Number of people, room type board type time of year too many variables for us to list prices. we would be going on for an hour.... very easy to go on their website and get a price

Looks amazing we were there to see the finishing touches before it opened lovely to see your vlog to see the inside thanks Lucy.

Wow so changed love it
It looks very nice
Stayed here in 2005 long time ago.. looks lovely would recommend it we loved it
The Ruidor was the hotel I stayed in when I first came to Benidorm in 1996!!
Great looking hotel which I have passed many times but sadly the location would prevent me from staying there, right on the door step to some of the busiest bars means you wont get much sleep at this hotel.
I don't know this hotel but it looks lovely.
We stayed before the refurbishment, it was ok but the food wasn’t up to much………….the refurb looks good 👍🏻 🙂
A lot better. Iook forward to coming next March
Arriving next week and looking forward to the new pool. Hopefully a lot warmer than it used to be when very deep. Room redecorations look very nice as well Dos San Miguel, por favour Paco.
Thanks Lucy, will you be checking out the refurbishment of the Flamingo Oasis?
yes 👍😁
Hi, great videos.
Is they anything planned for the Queen's jubilee? I can imagine with lots of Brits out there something might be happening
Looks great. X
Hi Lucy Tam from Bathgate here stayed there about a year before covid looks really nice now great location the girls should be arriving as I am writing this x

Would like to meet you Lucy. Been watching your channel for about 3 years. I miss benidrom when I am not there. You keep me in touch thankyou
Looks like a lovely hotel
Can you do one on the Flamingo Oasis? I haven't stopped there for a few years and apparently it's been refurbished!
yes we will be... soon. stay tuned 😁

Hi lucy were in benidrom at the port benidrom where are best pubs
We love yout channel
Hi there would u recommend to get tickets for water park and theme park when I get there or Oder trough TUI??
depends what offers Tui have, they might have a deal going with the theme parks im not sure
I am not sure but i heard from the news that TERRA MITICA theme park is going to reopen this Summer. It was closed due to the pandemic .
We have just booked this Hotel for Tuesday 20th feb for a week....
Hola Lucy 🤣
Hola 😁
Torn between here snd the medeira centro. Any help? The Riudor is a 100 cheaper and includes dinner as well as breakfast
Hi Lucy are you ok you sound as if you have a wee cold remember to take care of yourself the Riudor looks amazing have stayed there before is a very friendly hotel staff always ready to help
I'm fine hun, hayfever season 🤧
Hi can you tell me if vina del mar bar is open please
Not yet
Hiya are jet2 they at this hotel???
Not sure, i know Tui have it as theres a Tui desk in reception
Thank you
Just checked Jet2 site and they feature the Riudor
Hi Lucy, could you do a video on where some good beauty/ hairdressing salons are? Thanks very much
Is there a bar by the pool ?
there will be a food truck style bar round the pool for drinks, opening soon 👍
Just back from Turkey. Was good but no Benidorm. Come on Spain unvaccinated and tested so why not let the stupid rules end
brilliant video lucy please finish each one with a comment to watch for scammers
We'll be doing a video about scams soon. it's not necessary for every video...
ANOTHER EXELENT REVIEW OF THE HOTEL LUCY, THANKS XXX.
BET YOU CAN STILL HEAR YOU LADIES IN YOUR HIGH HEELS AND HARD SHOES CLUMPING AROUND ABOVE,NOWTS NEW
still need to be jabbed to return there ? if so I'll wait a bit longer
I went there in 2015 with my wife it was good hotel then for 2 weeks love it
Good video but why don't you show the prices
I imagine they vary.. You could look on hotels website
Number of people, room type board type time of year too many variables for us to list prices. we would be going on for an hour.... very easy to go on their website and get a price
Looks lovely, but no bar for drinks down by the pool anymore
there will be a food truck style bar round the pool for drinks, opening soon 👍
@@LucyYoungTBE what about the toilets that where downstairs to,? My mums disabled n that was ideal for us, and a lot of our elderly friends
@@megancollins8931 the toilets are still there 👍
Very interesting. But one thing that bugs me. When you pay extra you get nothing ‘free.’ They’re extras that you have paid for.
Things going missing by the cleaners no matter how many times we reported it no action was taking pool very shallow unable to swim
We’ve just got back from our holidays in Spain the riudor hotel I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone
i hope the food has improved as it went down hill over the past 15 years thats why i stopped staying at this hotel
Same here, but we're giving It another go In June.
@@pam-gw6uk i prefer the calyipso now the food is 5 star
Hate that habit, when hotel staff just dump towels on the bed cause they're too damn lazy to put them in the bathroom.
😢😢
