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

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 .

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
