    We're in BENIDORM! Costa Blanca is a famous resort town and the home of package holidays. It's safe to say that Benidorm divides opinions and has a lot of stereotypes attached to it. Well, we thought we'd visit ourselves to see what it's really like. Is it as wild as they say? Is it as fun as they say!? We'll share our opinion of Benidorm at the end of the vlog!

      Yep , the Port Benidorm Hotel has just opened a new rooftop terrace bar, we like the Secret Fountain bar.
      Last Sept were up at the rooftop bar in the Hotel Gold Arcos , the new hotel across from the Presidente Hotel, it was good.

    I was agreeing with most of your views on Benidorm at first. Your video production was excellent, the B-Roll footage blended in perfectly. Hats off to the editor. The presentation was excellent and professional. But, your summary let the whole thing down I thought. How can you compare Benidorm to Altea or Calpe? totally different holidaymaker catchment area. Shame really, I did hit the subscribe button but the summary made me think again. There was no interactivity with anyone in this vid and the remark about it being right about the stereotypical tourist of Benidorm was uncalled for. You filmed a few drunks out of the millions of tourists that frequent Benidorm. At the start of your video, I really took to your style but at the end, you came across a condescending rich kid who wouldn't dare venture back to Benidorm. This is not a troll-type response from me, but a genuine reaction from someone who has visited Benidorm over a number of years. So it's back to chickpeas and Fallafels for you and I wish you all the best of in your future adventures. :-)

      Charlie, thank you so much for your well thought out and constructive response. We will certainly take this onboard as we continue on our TH-cam journey. Just as an FYI we are definitely not rich-kids 😂 we have made many sacrifices to make it to where we have today and to this day we are earning far less than we would in 'normal' jobs. But we read all our comments and respect other peoples opinions on our presentations, so thank you! 🙏🏼

    Ups - Im ever so posh. Guys if you go to Benidorm then not to stick your noses in the air but to just go with flow or stay in Portofino. Either you are open to different places doing TH-cam or you just stick to one track.

    • @cjexplores
      @cjexplores  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We are open to different places and that’s why we went, Benidorm is fun but it’s not for everyone and that’s OK. We’re completely entitled to express our opinions on a place, which we did & in a respectful way.
