Benidorm - Are prices going up ?

[@Katie-uj8xz]

I love it when you speak to the visitors and get their views - everyone is so friendly, positive and enthusiastic about Benidorm.

[@michaelwalton9995]

Thank you very much. I have always had a thing about Benidorm and never wanted to visit. Last week we attended a wedding in Calpe and had two nights to kill before going to the wedding. We booked The Mecure in Benidorm and I watched a few of your videos. Because of you we found a few lovely places to eat, by the huge paella dish. Went to bars that were 90% Spanish, ordering and chatting in my basic Spanish. We had a lovely time and will definitely return; never thought I would say that, thanks again 👍x

[@LucyYoungTBE]

That's brilliant, love reading these comments. Hope you have a long and happy future with Benidorm hehe xx

[@Kiinell]

I love these vox pops. It's so nice to see the lovely and friendly Brits having a nice time. The Bristolian girls were sweethearts.

[@erniejohns3750]

ive booked up for February 23 as i come every February looking forward to seeing you again ,

[@simapark]

People say Uncle Peds is the cheapest in town but directly opposite in the 4 star Riviera they do bottles of Estrella ( the red 5.2% one from Barcelona not the 4.8 one from murcia ) for 90c ! Their front terrace open to the general public has much more confortable seats and their screen for the footy is the biggest and clearest I've seen . Waiter service too .

[@tonyprydderch5020]

I agree very cheap in there popular place if you want some cheap beer that's v place to go

[@clairepaton4461]

Hi Lucy thanks for another informative video was in benidorm in August had a great time still as cheap as chips

[@soibiddulph8215]

Benidorm is still great value when you're out and about, but I do feel that the hotel prices are way more than they should be - many £100-150 per night for very small rooms.

[@bigivanharrison8844]

Another great vlog…thanks Lucy. We live in morecambe and you can find a pint of lager for £2.40 ish

[@jonclegg8903]

Just got back. As an example a few years back, used to leave our apartment and have a few in the 4 kings where you could get a bottle of Amstel for a euro. Now it’s €1.75. All in all though, drinks remain relatively cheap and there are still good deals/bargains to be had. Food is also up a little but the value for money is still excellent, China garden, Nepali tandoori and the new Brazilian opposite winners were all favourites.

Hi Lucy - always went A/I so we could budget our holiday but lately depending "what you drink & what quality & the surroundings Benidorm is head & shoulders above the rest of Spain, at one time A/I was very good value for money but now with the hotels increasing their prices there is no need to go A/I - the bars offers etc can be cheaper

Hi over here just now things are cheaper here than they are back home in the UK so I can’t complain 😁

[@southlondonunderground7293]

At home you don’t have to pay for flights and a hotel. Of course going out in Benidorm is cheaper than home. But for the price and hotel prices you can go to places much cheaper.

[@gavinhodgkins6643]

Definitely cheaper than here in the UK. Uncle Peds is probably the cheapest in town but depends on where you go.

[@neiljmacpherson445]

As I prefer a week away on my own I like to go half-board, not being much of a drinker a couple of bottles and live entertainment suits me. Hope to be there next year.

Great stuff, as always, Lucy. I think that there has been a price hike on spirit prices more than on draught and bottles beers but compared to elsewhere, we're still probably the cheapest resort in Europe.

great video, Lucy. not only is Spanish lager better, but it's also cheaper in the local bars, especially in the old town. the bars along the levante beach and new town, tend to be more expensive.

[@paulaemartin674]

Agreed taking advantage of the views Plus tourists still think it's cheap Residents don't

[@michaelfraser8826]

I think you also need to take in to account that the rate on the euro is rubbish at the moment so it makes it a bit more expensive, hopefully, not for too much longer x

In Belgium, depending on where you are, you often pay 2.50 to 3.5 euros for a 0.20 cl coke. So expensive. Normally the cola bottles were 0.25cl, now suddenly 0.20cl. Get less, pay more in Belgium.

[@darynsax]

We paid around £150 more for our weeks holiday full board compared to what we have budgeted in the past. I found lager to still be good value, we were paying 1.50 to 2 euros a pint of either lager or shandy through the day. Cabaret bars at night were around 3.50/4 euros. Spirit's such as vodka was expensive 5/6 euros at night but you get more than you do here in the UK. I've recently been to Magaluf and the prices there have gone through the roof looking on average 4 to 5 euros day and night just to sit in a bar without entertainment plus the high cost of tourist tax it makes Benidorm a huge bargain. After going to Magaluf for over 30 every year that has stopped after this year, never again however we will continue with our lads holiday every year upto now in Benidorm

[@chrisayling3882]

very cheap for bear then.

[@irwinbragg2971]

We as a family have always gone full board,the initial outlay may be greater but on balance we think this way works out cheaper overall.None of us are big eaters but the opportunity is there to eat as much as you want.Watching some of the gluttons making pigs of themselves it would cost them a fortune to eat out.We occasionally eat out and find Benidorm prices reasonable as are the alchoholic drinks.Anyway if you can't blow a bob or two on yourselves what is the point of going on holiday?

Avoid the bars on the front and on the main Avenida as they are dearer. Go to the old town bars etc. The prices on the strip are dearer but it's much livelier. The most we paid for a drink anywhere was 4.50 euros for a pint. Go off the main drag to have a bevvy then back on it to top night off. Winners bar is a must by the way!

I'm just back from four weeks Benidorm with my daughter, who lives there. Since the pandemic the prices have gone up a lot. It's really not that cheap like before. Especially the supermarket have become so expensive! The prices there are now the same like in The Netherlands, expensive. Also the prices of clothes are doubled. A meal is still cheaper than in The Netherlands. You can have a meal for 13 euros. I only drink water and cola zero and that was still cheaper than in The Netherlands. For 3,50 you can have a cola. In The Netherlands I've paid 7 euros for that.
