I remember staying at the Ambassador when it was called the Riviera and Reymar. At peak times it was very crowded looks like things haven't changed.

[@geraldtomson8105]

We stayed at Ambassador 2 in November 2022 ,January 2023, and November 2023 as you have seen in video food is very very good, hotel rooms are very nice indeed it's a lovely hotel.

[@robertsswann7012]

was there last year and food staff rooms were all excellent would deffo go back

[@gailhawkins3134]

Reasonable price. Good review. Must have given you a great Winter boost. 😊

[@wormsnake1]

Loved this video Paul. You’ve really found a style and kind of formula that works. I think you’ve grown into your role as a utube presenter and it really suits you. A real natural. Keep them coming. Best from Crosby Liddipool!! 🙏❤️.x

[@unklefrank319]

Yes that’s a lovely room and at that price it’s extremely reasonable Paul thank you for you very informative vlog ?? Happy days 🥂🍾

[@whoknowswhere]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@juliemcgarty4764]

Beautiful hotel the rooms have been done to a high standard food looked really nice I thought the price to stay there was reasonable you didn't have to go out anywhere else I would definitely stay there if I was going to benidorm thanks for bringing us this video paul

[@whoknowswhere]

I totally agree! beautiful hotel

[@CorinnaChance-gp1zu]

Hi paul im so glad you have done this hotel as we have booked 4 july .i read all reviews and they were all good but your video as put the icing on the cake .thanks i cant wait 2 get there now 👍xx

[@richardhochuli1981]

Looks great, going in 10 days, I got 600 for 10 days 1 person, 😂..super clean

[@user-xn3ks1tl1f]

This hotel you filmed was really lovely. Clean, modern and with a gentle colour scheme which is just right for a bedroom. It’s conducive to sleep with ‘easy on the eye’ colours & these are my personal favourites. You are now well practised Paul on your travel videos - it all flows so nicely. I always look forward to your posts. You did an excellent job in the restaurant and showed the food on offer and how it was presented. All good stuff there. Nice to hear the Staff are pleasant too & able to speak English. Thankyou Paul, top place.

[@brendahiggins8830]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching your film. Over the years we have stayed in many hotels in Benidorm but the Ambassador Playa has always been our favourite, even more so after its amazing refurbishment, and of course the food can be enjoyed by every nationality, it looks as if the food caters to every taste! Always preferred the food in this hotel. We will enjoy watching all your other blogs 😁

[@janinehawkins9565]

Nice, bright, and fresh hotel room. Good ensuite facilities. Food looked nice too, plenty of healthy options 😋

[@sallychandler7859]

Lovely fresh room, loved the mint green curtains. So fresh looking. It looks like a very good hotel.

[@lorrainebyrne2536]

Very good review of this hotel. I like the way you always check out the everything.

[@annerand8155]

Stayed just before Covid. We have stayed 1 and 2. Loved it. Then there were no stag or hen parties allowed. Presume same. Hope to go back this year. Also loved the western bar attached.

[@nathianjones3002]

Me and my mates have stayed in the playa ambassador on many occasion on our annual jolly boys outing usually the last week of August for 7nights would definitely recommend the playa ambassador has to be one of the best hotels in benidorm x

[@peterstorey393]

We have been a number of times love it all the med player hotels are good going to the presidente next then back to ambassador

[@user-fk6be6op4c]

Will be staying there early Feb. Thanks for sharing this. Looks amazing.

[@michaelsmithsmith9484]

We've been there 3 times, wouldn't stay in another hotel 🏨 in Benidorm, you'll luuuuuuuuuv it

[@robinharrison3907]

Lovely looking Hotel 👍👍Been passed a few times when we stayed in Rosamar Hotel 👍👍Enjoy 🥳🥳

[@carolineh846]

Was at the ambassador playa 11 late may 23 for 10 days absolutely loved it first time to benidorm in 20 years £2,500 for everything hotel flights poolview and full board for 2 people. Food was beautiful hotel was stunning, staff were outstanding and loved it so much when landing back in Glasgow booked up again for end of may 24 cant wait this hotel is truly amazing yeee haaa here a come ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@paulroberts7561]

100 EUROS a night inc breakfast is brilliant. I recently stayed in a Premier Inn in Nottingham, that cost £440 for 4 nights breakfast extra.

[@geraldinemclaughlin57]

Thats a brilliant price we are just back from benidorm and we enjoyed it

[@user-ib1yg3xd1c]

Going for 5th time on 22nd January, always around this period of time in this hotel. As you say Paul the food is excellent, rooms and facilities are brilliant. The spa is great to spend several hours and masseurs are wonderful highly recommended. Position is perfect for the strip. Stayed in quite a few places in Benidorm 1st time was 1975 Dynastic Park. Ambassador 1 and 2 are for me the best.

[@traceywarren9750]

Stay there every visit love it

[@Brummie-In-The-Highlands]

That seems excellent value for money Paul. Think we'll have to check that one out. Thanks for the video.

[@whoknowswhere]

Yes well worth it

[@janetgilesrudland1028]

I've stayed in here many times enjoyed it every time the staff where very helpful the food was ok but the restaurant is to small for the amount of guests that are eating there the bonus is where the hotel is it's in a fabulous location 😊

[@jacquelinehabgood-painter8867]

I liked everything about the hotel and I would definately stay there. I've only been to Benedorm via your videos so far.Who knows? I might get there one day.Very professionally presented.Looking forward to your next one.

[@unklefrank319]

Go on take the plunge you’ve gotta do benni it’s on most people’s bucket list…. Drunk as a skunk in the black chicken fantastic …. Or the old town best of both worlds.

[@jonathandavies7030]

Thank you for the review, looked perfect and at the price looked a bargain. Not been to Benidorm, usually the Balearics with the family but maybe will try Benidorm one day👍

[@lizcameron3507]

Im.due to go to ambassador in march . Thank you for the video . For two flights included for 7nights bbem £1100

[@user-ir1xz8vb7n]

Hi Paul looks a lovely hotel enjoyed your video the food looks delicious 😊

[@pennyblack2707]

A really impressive hotel, the room is gorgeous, lovely colour scheme and it's so clean. The bars look very inviting. Food very scrumptious and lots of healthy things. Great to see the sunshine it's been like the planet from Alien here😂 brilliant video as always. Love the pull out dryer very nifty 😊

[@stephenpollitt]

TOP HOTEL.BEEN A FEW TIMES.BRILLIANT. WE GET A WHEELCHAIR FREINDLY ROOM.FULLY ACCESSIBLE. BEST BENIDORM HOTEL. STEVE ,LYNDA BOLTON. YOU DO A SMASHING JOB SHOWING OTHER HOTELS .

[@robmurphy6077]

Superb

[@adelejones5059]

Great review,I stayed in April 2023 for a week and loved every minute, I priced a week in dec for £350 each for2 but partner couldn’t get time off. It has definitely gone up for this mar/ April time by a fair bit nearly £600 each for the week but still a lovely hotel. Will defo go back. Also looked for last sept and was £1600 each for a week 😮, so did a week in Florida for same price instead 🤷‍♀️

[@joannedoolan3446]

Stay at the Ambassador playa 1 all the time fantastic hotel always get a pool view and same room all the time

[@alfnsue]

Great hotel, food looks Amazing, very cheap for a 4 star hotel 👍👍🏖️☀️🌴🍾🍸

[@sharronlewis3429]

🤩 Better weather Paul. Hope you got a little suntan 🌞 looks lovely. Id definitely stop there Paul. The food looks great, plus i trust your Judgement. Great price. 😊

[@whoknowswhere]

It was!

[@telreynolds]

Another excellent vlog Paul.Never stayed there but looks a lovely hotel.We should have been in Benidorm for Christmas but had to cancel at last minute due to a medical issue.Would be nice to see your other half in your vlogs,but I take it he's camera shy.Look forward to seeing what trips you have planned for 2024!.

[@robertwalker1742]

Remember going to Reynard with future wife in 78, had to climb over the balcony for some ahem, five floors up.What u do for love.

[@sketch591]

Was there last July....what I remember most was that in the restaurant at Breakfast time was the location of the good British style bacon. Now that was located at the top of the restaurant but at the side of the restaurant beside the eggs and the dodgy Spanish sausages was the equally dodgy Spanish streaky bacon. Had myself a lovely Bacon sandwich for Brekkie every morning ...fantastic.😊

[@maureenstylianides5047]

So that's the most important thing you remember on holiday British bacon and Oh no dodgy Spanish sausages😢

[@dianeshepherd7913]

Thanks for the video looks a nice hotel, lovely room 😊 Happy New Year Paul x

[@whoknowswhere]

Happy new year! Diane all the best

[@robertcaulfield5233]

Hi Paul, Really well shot video right here. The place looks perfect for a break in the sun, not a blemish anywhere to be found was there!? If my health was better I'd give it a try for sure. Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy 2024.

[@whoknowswhere]

Hi Robert same to you, and all the best for 2024

[@KingofBlingham]

Not stayed there since the pandemic, its been done up a bit!

[@martincosgrove8879]

Been 5 times mate brilliant hotel.. But pool view required.

[@ireneduncan4554]

Love this hotel,was coming every 6 months but the last 2 times I’ve came the price has gone up £400 a time,I just came back on Thursday but this time I got an apartment much cheaper but I really missed this hotel, going to the Rosamar in September

[@TravelonlineWalk]

Nice

[@hayleymurphy3449]

Staying in November for a week. Stayed before it was las renovated and found the good to be poor. Hope its improved for when we go

[@davidwhite-dp8sn]

It looked just right for me and very important the food was good but you probably got the cheapest price of the whole year due to the time you went during the swimming season it would be far far more expensive because travelling on my own in oct i stayed in a 3s booked 10 months ahead and it was more expensive that that booking with the Hotel direct. David

[@williamtaylor874]

bang on £ cheers !

[@susanmcloughlin3930]

Looks a lovely hotel I'd quite happily stay there the only tiny thing thought the bedding was creased food looked lovely my last hotel there was the pelocanos thing the price is reasonable Paul ❤❤

[@whoknowswhere]

Hi Susan I had laid down on the bed for a couple of hours then realised I hadn't recorded the bed check lol

[@janetpalmer7695]

Hi Paul, we have been back 10 days . Ready to go back . Lol. Though you had our rooms 1616 and 1639. All the city facing rooms there balcony is slightly smaller. . Go earlier for meals, then you will have no problems . 18 euros is for a 2 hour swim. And this time of year there is no road noise what so ever. We couldn't hear a thing. . Ps, you didn't play with the light near the. You can change it from blue to green yellow. Purple white. Red . We had a different colour every night. Also, if you want to, but larger bottles in the fridge, take the bottom shelf out. . We paid £345 each fullboard for 2 weeks, including flight and transfers. Bargin. This year, it was £1120 each. We did have 2 rooms with 1 in a room and 2vin the other. . Half-board fights and transfers inc. . The chap singing in the explorer's was ed sheren. . I've been there 10 times now . Going somewhere different next time.

[@whoknowswhere]

Glad you like the place, you can't fault it and location is great, thank for the tips, and it proves a point there are bargains you just have to search, take care x

[@123tony1959]

I’ve stay lots of times it’s getting very expensive for a week in June it’s about £1100 each full board you can go to Tenerife all inclusive for the sane money in a 4 star

[@michaelsmithsmith9484]

Luuuuuv it there. Chippy chippy I lav you 😂

[@stephenwelch757]

Haven’t stayed yet. All the hotels we have stayed at in Benidorm always have Spanish bacon and sausage ugh! Cheap cereal too, may have to give ambassador a try if better quality food

[@user-gu5px2vr8i]

Hello, we’ve only just discovered your vlog. Have enjoyed them, not sure where else you’ve stayed in Benidorm. We first stayed in the Flamingo Oasis. A bit tired but huge bedrooms, big bathrooms with double sinks, bidet, bath with shower overhead. All inc. Great reception area. Also stayed in The Corona del Mar, Pontiente side. Small hotel, very nice. Full board. Stayed in the RioPark, not keen as very tiny rooms & an even smaller shower room. Half board. We’ll be staying in the Don Pancho soon. What are your thoughts on the hotels I’ve mentioned? B&B the Wirral.

[@whoknowswhere]

Only one I have stayed at is the Rio Park, worked at Don Pancho's but will keep them im mind welcome aboard hope you enjoy the rest of the video's

[@lukecoverdale3861]

The hotel looks nice but the location for me is a definite NO, right on the busy strip on one side and the busy road on the other other (with no sun). Ive walked past it many times and often wonder if the guests realise its proximity to strip when they book it.

[@tonybrown6838]

Stopped there when it just opened, fantastic stay and food. The only other thing was after you use the teas, coffee etc the cost is 5 Euro, don't know if that still stands

[@janetpalmer7695]

Yes, it does. we've just come back from there.

[@grahambi3nr]

First time I’ve watched your hotel review, really good review however you didn’t mention the Western Bar. When you zoomed in on the food etc it wasn’t really good for my eyes, just saying.

[@martinandfayegregory-lambe3964]

Nice that when do we start 🤣

[@whoknowswhere]

You would go down well but they can't afford you lol

[@paulcox2470]

Really good videos. Enough information to make a decision as where to stay. Out of interest what method of transport did you use to get to Beni from Alicante?

[@whoknowswhere]

Public transport level 2 Alicante airport it's about 19 euro return state time of pick up return the bus drops off and picks up Avenida Europa

[@user-kv8vx7ct1i]

Sold mate. We got back from agur springs round the corner last night and spotted the ambassador when we were there. Booking it now. Thankyou for your video. One question for you. Is there anywhere to park and charge mobility scooters. Not great on my feet? Regards, Garry and Mandi

[@whoknowswhere]

as far as I know there were scooters charging by the entrance if I remember right

[@AngelShona1]

Please show us the Presidente.

[@kouyate24]

Happy New Year Paul 😊 Hotel looked lovely and I can see why people jet off for some winter sun. We went to London just before Christmas and payed £400 to stay in a Travelodge for 3 nites room only!!! Can I plz ask wot sort of price u pay for flights to go that time of year?

[@whoknowswhere]

you have to search but with carry on case Ryanair about £125 return each

[@annward8599]

We stayed there for years but the last time was disappointing change of manageress the restaurant was chaos no organisation whatsoever. Didn't bother the rest of the year went elsewhere 😮

[@meisterlymanu5214]

still cant get my head around 100 euros a night...even with breakfast. But thats the norm post covid it seems.

[@28jaykay]

Looks lovely there, might give it a try if I ever venture away from the old town 🫣👍🏻

[@MDS3460]

Hi Paul we have booked for this hotel for next year please can you give me some information about getting from the airport to this hotel please thankyou ❤

[@whoknowswhere]

Depending on the time of your flights you can get the Alsa bus Which is 2 levels above once you go through exit the bus is on the hour from 7am till 8pm check the times online they may change in season, it cost about 17 euros each way return ask for your return when you buy your ticket but make sure you work out when you need to be back at the airport they run every hour and only stop at the bus station on the outskirts of Benidorm and then you get off at Avenida Europa just takes about 55 mins it's so easy or a taxi return Zip travel £140 - £150 return for 4 person hope this makes sense, the ambassador is about 5 blocks from the drop off

[@allyclarke6505]

I’m disabled wheelchair user, I will never travel with Ryanair again!

[@tonygarforth539]

may sound a good deal now but you try in summer season £1000 each for a week half board no thanks this year tenerife full board half the price

[@annagreener3362]

No Bidet 🚿😂

[@thomascouplean9335]

Is it only English the ambassador caters for

[@whoknowswhere]

No I don't think so I just thought that the food the entertainment everything seemed that way but that's just my opinion

[@deeb9301]

Does it have air conditioning?

[@whoknowswhere]

Yes it does

[@user-kr6oh2mb4g]

What is prices like for a stay

[@whoknowswhere]

Hi the price we paid is mentioned in the video take care Paul

[@BRIAN-mr5ue]

You said they cater for "English"..does that mean they don't cater for any other nationalities of GB ..eg Scottish / Welsh ??

[@valerie-my3jh]

What about the northern Irish?? We’re still part of the UK!

[@PhilipWalker-no1jb]

Well said mainland people never think about us British subjects here in our wee Northern Ireland 😊

[@paulroberts7561]

What a stupid question. Be it right or wrong, foreigners don't understand the distinction. To them we are all English, we are from Inglterra. Just live with it.

[@thecritic81]

​@@paulroberts7561we are not considering what the locals think this video is aimed at people in the UK.

[@user-qq7rj3il3j]

Hello Paul i thought your room was fabulous, with most things that you normally have. Downstairs appeared really nice with a super lounge and entertainment areas. The dining area was nice and super food preparation looking very appetising. It definitely appeared to me to be a very well run hotel, and as you said with pleasant staff who were happy and helpful when required. On the whole Paul, i would certainly stay at the Hotel Ambassador. And as regards to the budget/cost i would be quite happy with that.😊

[@lindakearns3565]

Great blog lovely hotel 🏩 we can try it next time we go away to benidorm we stayed in the hotel Victoria in the old town for new year food just ok but entertainment rubbish for the English xxxxxxx
