This was my first time in benedorm i wanted to celebrate my 70th so chose the Brisa as it was small and had few family who went with me, thankyou for going and showing me what i remember about the hotel, hope i can do it again

I often pop in here for a cup of coffee during the day as the prices are very reasonable and views are great given its beach side location, never stayed at the hotel but its location is nice.

Thank you Paul for the members only 😊 The room does remind me of student accom but it's clean and having the balcony with thar beautiful sea view is definitely worth it how lovely to hear the sea at night. Agreed the no frills end of 4star but I think tea making facilities should be included. The en suite was brilliant and the food looked good though limited menu. As a lover of music I think I would give the cabaret a miss 😂 £54 is great but considering how much you paid for no 4 seems you don't get that standard however as mentioned you are close to the beach. I'd stay there. Loved the background music you put on the video. Thank you and stay warm later Paul x

I Think just using it as a base to sleep is good enough even if you don't like the food the hotel is inexpensive enough so its up to you if you want to eat there and if you have wi-fi you can still watch english movies online if that's what you want. Its seems quiet which might be a bonus and you just want to relax or a quiet drink in the bar. I take it the strip is not to far away if you want a more energetic holiday. in the end as you do book it for a few night and if you are not happy just move on and find better. you still have a four star view from the balcony.

Thanks again for a superb review of this cheaper hotel. It’s horses for courses really, small & basic with pretty minimal room facilities, no USB point, balcony etc. It looked clean and well kept though. It would suit some people down to the ground; it might suit me if nothing slightly better was available. Your reviews are just the best, so honest and no waffle. Thankyou.

hi paul i tell ya why this would be good for a lot of people .weather you have been working hard all year and need to unwind or perhaps travelling through .. your head is always feeling a little bit muddled then your subconscious mind picks up on the background advertising. i noticed with this place every thing is basic and neutral nothing distracts the mind soon as you arrive its mission complete you can enjoy the break job done After alll after being lucky enough to travel widely i haven noticed valenciennes are the most welcoming region in Spain ,i thought this was just me till i worked at a few airports they are all ways employed in service areas in the uk they actually perfect your Spanish when you converse . amazing people . i would love this place on the way down to gib Nice one Brov enjoying your channel- Russ Bournemouth

Fair price but no more than a 3*** imho. Spent many an afternoon having a Beer on the Brisa Terrace [whilst staying at the Port Benidorm which is less than 10min away]. Great chill out area with a superb view ... and very reasonable Bar prices. Will certainly visit again on my next trip.

Hi Paul, The hotel is alright, but I wouldn't stay there. The room is a little small, plus don't think the door would be wide enough for my chair to get through. Plus there are no tea making facilities, I love my tea. Enjoyed watching all 5 hotels, but for me, the last hotel was a four star. For me the 2nd hotel won it for me. Thanks Paul.👍
@funky198210 ай бұрын
shot in the room in this hotel. Make me think students/ hostel although the beds are locked hotel so I would probably say the room gives what I call mixed messages as the what it is. The food look pretty did look pretty basic and the hotel itself didn't look like there was much to it but it will see front whoever I give it a full star I don't think I would. I think you'd be more looking at three star, but that's just my opinion
@dianeshepherd791310 ай бұрын
I wouldnt class this one as a 4☆ room to small, no bedside lamps, no tea coffee, very small balcany but good view, small pool and overall facilities poor for a 4☆ infact surprised it got it, dining room and the food nothing like the other hotel you stayed at for £59 no comparison. The bedding was very clean so thatsgood Thanks for the video Paul

We had compensation after our experience for Christmas there. We paid a lot extra for a front sea room. Arrived with difficulty up the steps. The lift not working. No help given, nevertheless we got to the reception and confirmed booking. The Spanish man refused our booking without proof which we got copied by email and copied. I said looking forward to sea view. I was told No only side, told all full. Really horrible start to ay before Xmas eve. Only one other British couple and same happened to them. Rude staff would be understatement. I had never experienced spanish staff with such an attitude. On one occasion at breakfast I got up to get coffee cups and a young Spanish server actually grabbed my arm and said you sit down you do not get up. Personally never stay there again. RIVIERA knocks Brisa into fits. I can only blame the management or owner because he walked around like basil faulty lol! I hope staff have had some serious staff training since our stay. The food is on par with a 2star. Staff cater and have more time for anyone but the British. This is my experience only .
@whoknowswhere10 ай бұрын
I appreciate you sharing your experience I can only give my view for the one night I found the staff to be ok but didn't really have much contact with them the hotel I would not say was 4 star probably only got that status due to location the videos are to show a variety of availability at reasonable prices it's a shame your holiday was ruined glad you got a refund
