Benidorm - I Won't Stay Here Again - 4 Star Nereo Hotel Servigroup

[@tracyd3022]

Hi, first time watched your channel and really enjoyed the vlog 👏 We have stayed in The Nereo for the past four years and are back again in June. We love this hotel, all the staff are lovely and very helpful and the rooms are spotless. We have been lucky enough to stay in the same room on the third floor facing the pool, right on the corner and the veranda is massive. The location is very central which is great. Only downside is food is just ok. Looking forward to our next holiday to the fabulous Benidorm 🏖️☀️ Will definitely be watching more of your videos 👏👏

[@maureenkirby679]

Have stayed at the Nereo quite a few times & found it a very good & clean hotel.Staff are brilliant.Food was always good & we never had any noise problems & we always have a pool view room.We only stayed at the Calypso once & didn't return.

[@janinehawkins9565]

Paul, you know when it's right and when it's not. Feel it in your bones. Great as always.

[@JamieTopping]

Another great video. Looking forward to 4&5 of the series. I think it’s great that you make time for the viewers too. This channel is really taking off now. Get out what you put in. Keep up the great work. Defo the best travel channel about by miles.

[@whoknowswhere]

Awesome, thank you!

[@peteratkinson001]

The wife and I are greatful for what your doing you helping us all know where ton stay and where not to

[@angelasharp1184]

We have just joined your channel as we are going to visit early August with my grandaughter and mother, watching this for any tips and advice on accommodation and food choices. Like you, we dont think this hotel is for us. We will keep following as we enjoyed the honesty and great content of your vlog. Thanks so much 😀

[@susiecv63]

What I like about finding your channel, is that you actually let us see the area band don’t keep the camera on yourself, this is why I like the KZbinrs who show you where their going without, having the camera on themselves and talking you through as they’re videoing, yours is like this and your very clear which is great🎉🎉

[@whoknowswhere]

Hi Susie that is exactly what the channel is about, I'm here to show you what's available for a good price, take care.

[@philliphamilton3591]

That noise would drive anyone crazy! Thanks for the great help yo share. 👍👏

[@mylobenn]

Another good video Paul ,, I loved the colour scheme of the room. , and the food looked really nice 👌

[@lorrainebyrne2536]

Looks and neat and clean hotel. Pink must be one of their corporate colours.

[@sueharding111]

Hiya ... my partner and i stayed at the Servigroup Torre Dorada some years ago now , we have always remembered it as a lovely hotel with a room that gave us great views out over the bay , we had no complaints at all for our stay there , like i said its been a while but would happily return for another week in the sun 🙂

[@Mary-1888]

I stayed there last year on the other side of the hotel and it was very quiet. I enjoyed my stay, but I might give the calypso a go after seeing your video

[@lindacross1487]

Stayed in the Nereo a few years ago and found it really OK. It is in a decent location and didn't find anything to complain about

[@traceyabbott193]

I never use the usb points as I always plug in chargers in the wall anyway , looks nice hotel , love Benidorm

[@martinquinn9007]

I stayed there many many years ago and thought was nice

[@melprice8961]

stayed there twice, really enjoyed it, great hotel

[@valerie-my3jh]

I feel the same as you about the Nereo. Much prefer the Venus Will be staying at Calypso in two weeks’ time. Yes, food is practically the same in all the Servigroup hotels. Have a friend who goes to The Nereo three times a year (solo) and is very happy with it!

[@pennyblackstamp]

Beautiful beach in Benidorm ⛱️ Sun 🌞 Sea ⛵ and Sky how lovely ❤️

[@desgardner7169]

I have spoken to people who love it there! I have never been there but I pass it most days and now there are no tree cutter noise at all I suppose the jobs been done. But like many others who go to Benidorm price matters I thought that what you paid was a bit steep for one person, but everything else seems ok to me...If you want to hear noise in the daytime go up the road a little by the hospital that's what you call noise! but noise don't worry me at all, I come from a very noisy place in the West Midlands, but thank you for the video and if the price is right it just may go on the Hotels to visit, I cant see anything wrong with it, but that's just me.... once again thank you!

[@philomenablaney1032]

Love the vlogs look forward to the next hotel !!

[@stephenwelch757]

We are there in June looking forward to it at the same hotel. Hopefully will be quieter. Stayed here a few years ago. Our 2nd time in June.

[@Mark1405Leeds]

If you have a full holiday in Spain with no internet problems your very lucky!

[@stewright539]

Stayed at the Nereo a few times,fabulous hotel.I guess some people just look for faults and negatives.

[@whoknowswhere]

I never found a fault at the hotel, I said it's not for me which is called an opinion

[@hopey65]

Peking duck, spring rolls and sprouts 😂😂 made me laugh. Looks more like a three star I think. Not for me either, we stayed at the H10 Porte Poniente last year, is was fantastic but pricey. Thanks for the vids, cheers Iain

[@HappyGillmore1978]

Just came across your channel and enjoy your content, the benidorm videos especially. Stayed in the melia benidorm witch is also a 4 star and found food, rooms and pool where fantastic and not to far from this one. Price was very good as well. you've probably already stayed here 😂 with the length of time coming to benidorm. Good luck with the channel and I'll be watching from now on.

[@whoknowswhere]

Thank you welcome onboard

[@juliemcgarty4764]

Thanks for the video paul the noise would be too much for me as well hotel didn't look too bad not sure about the food

[@danbreen6946]

I stayed in the Calypso in February and it's a 3 star and to be honest couldn't see much difference between the two hotels

[@kimmyk4425]

Looked nice and bright both inside and outside when it was all lit up on a night. Didn’t look to be many people around. Maybe it would be a different atmosphere during peak season. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@whoknowswhere]

Yeah maybe Kim x

[@Jacqui-e7k]

I totally agree with the atmosphere of the hotel is non-existent. I sat in the lounge area on my first night and had a drink, it was early but it was empty. I booked my room direct with servigroup and was disappointed with my view on the opposite side of the hotel, which is a carpark and I spoke to reception about this and they said I should have upgraded and paid extra for a pool view. The food was ok but the restaurant was like a huge noisy canteen, with no atmosphere. I thought the room was tiny too. It's not the best hotel in the servigroup and I probably wouldn't go back there.

[@user-xn5qx3bd3s]

Have stayed there quite few times can not fault the hotel or staff they can't do enough for u and its spotless food was fine always good variety only down side entertainment isn't great

[@carolsimmonds8905]

Stayed at nereo going back this year great place to stay it's a lot better than some of the ones you have stayed at but the noise would be off putting

[@JohnAleman1]

Looks pleasant enough but I would class the bedroom as a 3 star 🍻

[@KarenLawrence-wr3ke]

It's a great hotel. Right near to the beach. Good food and friendly staff. Nobody from UK normally only books one night stay. Cheaper if you book for a longer time. Feel you were a little too critical of maintenance..annoying noise I know but necessary. You'd mark it unkempt if trees were overhanging. Yes it is a slightly more expensive stay than others but clientele not falling around partying. A great clean friendly base. 😊

[@whoknowswhere]

Hi Karen as I have said many times I couldn't fault the hotel it just wasn't for me, I didn't feel comfortable in that hotel, it's a personal choice

[@HowardB54]

Not stayed here but stayed last May at another Servigroup - The Castilla . Very nice and the fact they had back bacon made my day ….. Cava at breakfast time made my wife’s day !! - Any Cava at The Nereo?

[@whoknowswhere]

Yes I think I show it in the video

[@NNC93]

I thought the reception area and bar looked okay.. the food for all inclusive looked decent with a lot of it.. and £75 with a breakfast and an evening meal I thinks good as you can eat as much as you wish too.. the only thing that seemed to let it down was the entertainment with how you described it and the decor in the rooms they wasn’t really good at all tbh.

[@whoknowswhere]

Totally agree

[@davidwebb8877]

We stayed in the melia hotel Benidorm,it was spot on,good rooms grounds pool etc,nice breakfast,little bit out the way but plenty near it.

[@user-uo5mb7sw9j]

The place looks a bit tired tbh, another good video though mate.

[@dianeshepherd7913]

The hotel looked very nice, the food could have been placed better, the mixture of different foods, but plenty to choose from. Personally didnt like the colour scheme of your room, but thats my view others may like that combo, but good size. I think possibly the noise of cutting the trees down could have put you off, as its certainly not relaxinng so no peace and quiet area to chill, they of course do all maintenance jobs out of season, but this should have been done earlier in the year. Thanks for the video Paul.😊

[@susanmcloughlin3930]

Looked clean but didn't like soft furnishings in the room nothing matched the pink in the bathroom awful 😕 think it's more 3star i wouldn't like the noise Paul its a no for me thanks for sharing 👍 ❤❤

[@whoknowswhere]

I understand

[@estelleemms2370]

Passed this hotel many times. Don't fancy a hotel near that busy road. The Riviera would be my personal choice. Don Pancho is also great adult only hotels. Sol pelicans great for families. However, most are chosen on price and Nereo is far too expensive out of season. Looked rather soulless 😢

[@ceeabee]

I normally stay just down the Rd at the Port Benidorm, TBH I have not seen anything about the Nereo that would put me off staying here. One thing I did notice was a shower mat hanging up. Ever since I slipped and cracked my Head when showering [in Southampton prior to a Cruise] I very rarely stay anywhere that doesn't provide a mat, so this was a very positive sign for me. Price isn't too bad all things considered, so this Hotel would certainly be on my short list for future trips at this time of the year. Cheers.

[@dawnstarling1348]

Good review, Very clean Hotel, just seemed a bit soul less

[@alisonbrown3787]

I wouldn't say it was a 4 star more 3 and your right that noise would put me off especially if it wasn't just a 1 night stay If it was any longer I would try to find a different hotel

[@stephenwoodruffe4164]

All the servigroup hotels have themed nights.

[@FredThursday]

Blackpool with the sun

[@melprice8961]

No Palm 🌴 trees in Blackpool 😂

[@mansfieldlad123]

I have stayed there before but it was about 25 years ago and it was a three star hotel then but obviously as time has gone on it's been refurbished when I was there no fridges in the room but that now seems the norm for a lot of Hotels. There was nothing wrong with my stay there but when I was there you could go in any of the servi group hotels for your meals I think there was 5 different ones to choose from at the time great if you fancy a change but the food was probably the same in all of them just a change of scenery I just stayed in the one I was sleeping in.

[@stephensherry5197]

To me it looks like a 3* upgraded to a 4*, but has berly made the grade. I didn't like the room or the colour scheme, but I suppose that's personal taste. The food didn't look great either. Probably not for me.

[@user-nv2sm9jh1c]

hi Paul really enjoyed the video the HOTEL NEREO BENIDORM it looks a small hotel the swimming pool looked small you are right about the HOTEL the noise outside would make me mad you come on holiday to relax the room looked clean and tidy the colour scheme looked a bit different the evening meal was set it different did not look like there was not lot out on the buffet the breakfast looked nice thanks for showing HOTEL NEREO BENIDORM cant Walt to see more videos in BENIDORM THANKS PAUL FROM KEITH

[@whoknowswhere]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jacquigreen7493]

Them curtains omg no no colours are awful couldn't stay there.xx

[@mblear7556]

I agree 😝 horrendous colour scheme, not for me

[@gorsmy]

Stayed there a few years back it was a bit over priced but was ok clean food average staff nice had pool view

[@susiecv63]

Hi Just subscribed, Come across your apartment vid, for El Castell, I can honestly say that for 36 a night, I would stay there, for a few weeks for the cost and spend money saved on other stuff, thinking of this as we love the old town, and we’re always out and about this is ideal for a budget if you wanted 4 weeks or more. I can’t believe I’m saying this as we stay 4 to 5 star, but if it means being in Beni for a long stay, this is a good one to think about for 2 people m. 👍👍

[@whoknowswhere]

Hi Susie glad you enjoyed the video

[@janw1746]

The colour of a room wouldn't bother me..as long as its clean..the food would be to my taste..😋..the only thing I find bizarre is the hairdryer being so close to the sink..I would prefer to use away from water..its an accident waiting to happen..this isn''t only this hotel

[@adamholden1491]

Hi there Paul cheers for your vlogs have you ever stayed at Rialto as I stopped there 5 yrs ago. Could you possibly try out Castilla also have looked on virtual tours and they have double rooms at end of corridors ending 06-07 would be great if you got a one like you did at Orange.

[@susanstreet1]

Would love to stay just for the pool though that traffic was unsettling

[@BRIAN-mr5ue]

Thanks for another excellent video and review . Like you I'm not sure what to make of hotel 🤔. You already no my thoughts on singing occupancy which I understand in high season etc but if hotel is out of season and half empty really annoys me 🤬..Is this hotel quite near indoor market?

[@whoknowswhere]

Brian its facing the indoor market

[@BRIAN-mr5ue]

Thanks I thought that 👍

[@AustinSenior-cy6us]

Stayed there about 9 times , absolutely fine, what crap

[@brianroberts3187]

Stayed there last week over St Patrick’s Day weekend - definitely not a 4 star - agree furnishing was a little dated and the TV was a lot smaller than the likes of the Presidente & Ambassador but I suppose you don’t go in holiday to watch TV. Thought the location was great 5 minutes to the beach and the strip. Food was ok but not great but there was always something to eat - liked the poached eggs at breakfast. Didn’t go to any of the entertainment in the hotel wasn’t really our type of thing. Would I stay there again - yes - but there are other hotels I would go back to first.

[@tomo38692]

Hi Paul. Odd seeing yourself on TV. Hope it inspires other viewers to say hello to you. Think hotel looks more like a 3 plus? Room looks a bit dated. May be choice of furnishings? Agree you had better. RH Victoria a 4 star, we stayed. Good stay had seaview straight, 180 degrees. Your vids great info n thoughts again. Keep up good work.👍

[@whoknowswhere]

Cheers Tomboy

[@susanstreet1]

Hope the pool was nice.living in the uk an outside pool is a special thing wish there were more of them dispite living in a large city there are 0 outdoor public swimming pools in the city.private clubs prehaps have a pool.dull.

[@jamesmagee890]

Hi great video. Is there no way of making a cup of tea?.

[@whoknowswhere]

unfortunately no and its 4 star

[@aprilclark3179]

Great video thank you

[@user-fj5uf5hn9v]

Hi paul hotel ok, food a bit iffy for me. Love your videos paul keep up the good work. ANN FROM CUMBRIA.XX 😊.

[@sallychandler7859]

Looked lovely to me. But sometimes you just don't 'feel' it. Never mind.

[@rachellevis9909]

Great video i dont think i would stay there

[@stormytempest6521]

STAYED THERE AFEW TIMES , GREAT HOTEL WHEN WE STAYED THERE.

[@maureengladwell1317]

Very nice I think it looks very nice what is the reason for you y not wanting tos there again you should think yourself lucky you can afford a holiday

[@whoknowswhere]

I'm not on holiday, I'm working its my job only there for one day then I move on

[@jamesieboy100]

Why moan about people doing their job. Not the hotels fault. You would be moaning if you didn’t have a view because of the trees.

[@trevorstanley8806]

Hi Paul love you're video's heny chance of you going to the hotel Costa blanca AKA new name the inside we are staying there in June for a week be great if you would make a video of the hotel Thanks Trev 👍

[@whoknowswhere]

Not on my list yet plans already made

[@trevorstanley8806]

@@whoknowswhere ok Paul thanks 👍 Trev

[@nigelwhitehouse282]

Classed as a 4 star. Between 2 and 3 is more realistic . Go to the old town - a lot more civilised as well.

[@helgeron4655]

Unfortunately you can't please all of the people all of the time and the trees have to be trimmed, there's no good time to do that, you were just unlucky they decided to do it during your stay which clearly was the deciding factor on your decision. I won't be going to Benidorm until next year so it's really interesting for me to watch your reviews.I'll certainly stay tuned.

[@sammcewan1219]

Great hotel

[@user-ir1xz8vb7n]

Hi Paul another good video but I won’t stay there too noisy and it’s not my kind of hotel any way 😮

[@philomenablaney1032]

Have you ever thought of reviewing Sandos Monaco?

Hi Philomena there's so many in Beni gradually working through them x

[@nellafella]

The colours in the bedroom and bathroom are nauseating. A mixture between a lady of the nights boudoir and your Nan’s house. Not a hotel i’d choose, but each to their own. Great video as ever, Paul!

[@Hannahxx1971]

It looked clean but soulless...not my cup of tea.

Doesn't look like much of a four-star more a three.

stayed in a lot worse

[@eamondevlin1860]

Think you are looking for three words, corporate, adequate (for the price) and lastly sterile.

[@christopherslavin]

You review was ridiculous. You really need to get a life. Nereo is a superb hotel. I have stayed here on numerous occasions and will be staying again in a few weeks.. Superb service, great food and brilliant staff.

[@whoknowswhere]

It's called having an opinion exactly like your comment or would you like me to lie to everyone just to make you feel better

[@jambon7681]

For a 4* it doesn't look superb to me. It's clean and perfectly ok looking but not 4*. It looks like they have modernised it on a tight budget and you can tell it's an old hotel.

[@fart-gravy]

food looked very cheap looking.
