Finally a hotel could be tempted to stay in. Bed the size of what we have a home. Looks clean and organised. Would never usually think about staying in Benidorm preferring more smaller villages but this looks lovely.
What a beautiful hotel! Just gorgeous in every respect. What a treat to hear the waves from your bedroom window - such a bonus. Personally, I really liked the look of the buffet - lots of brightly coloured healthy options for breakfast and dinner. Much prefer Spanish food as the main option.
I’ve never been to Benidorm though my husband has. I’ve just dropped a massive hint to him that I’d like to stay here for my 50th birthday, next February. I hope he cottons on 😅 Thanks for all your great content. I love your honest, down to earth approach. Keep up the good work xx
Great hotel I'm glad you did a review as you know we stayed there over Christmas couldn't fault it congratulations on hitting the 5k well deserved 😊
Staying there September hope we get a sea view thanks for sharing the videos 😊
Just watching this and seen my self I was the person in the green polo in the restaurant I do remember seeing you about a few times what a lovely hotel and a great review I agree about the food labels would help and maybe they could make it clear it's not really a buffet as such more of a small set menu alot of people seemed to be complaining about the very little choice of food we hear buffet and think massive amounts of food maybe if they made it clear when booking people expectations wouldn't be set so high I thought the food they did have an offer was actually really nice breakfast was also good
Beautiful room and hotel ❤
Just subbed after discovering your no nonsense straight forward reviews which we enjoy. Keep up the great work !👍👍
Cracking looking hotel...you looked like a big kid in a sweet shop when you saw room and balcony lol.. Thanks for the vlog, very much appreciated 👍
Totally agree with you about prices .. .. we stopped in Riveria Beach hotel .. £710 half board in December.. for 2 people .. . Like you .. go to York for weekend. Cost you more than that .. .
Absolutely love everything about this hotel, it's beautiful. Thanks once again for a great video. Also congratulations Paul on 5k subscribers 🎉🎊
Thanks so much!
Hi just stayed in the Hotel with my work they upgraded me free to full sea view was really kind of them loved the roof top bar great chill area food I felt the same as you they need to work on it room was beautiful just have to say as a women who likes to do hair and make up the only place I could do this was in the bathroom stood up shame really as such a big space for the TV that I hardly used as had the amazing sea view its very clean and staff are very good its a nice hotel and I agree with you I feel its a good price for what you get to be honest if I had not come with work I would have just booked breakfast only as nice places to eat out on a evening in the old town..
Was shocked at the price. Was expecting it to be near 200 for the location/room/food. Great video 👍
Lovely hotel,love your videos they make me feel like I’m back there lol
Glad you enjoyed
Excellent report. Would love to visit, and will soon.
Having never stayed in Benidorm you have given me a great insight into the various options available. Thank you for your vlogs. Will be visiting very soon. xxx
Loved the video once again Paul, hotel looks beautiful but that view 😍 keep up the good work and enjoy. X
Thanks so much
Congratulations paul on your 5k subcribers well deserved keep doing wot your doing 👏
Once again, another great vlog, I do love your vlogs ❤️ . Cracking hotel right on the beach that would do me lovely . I would certainly look this up if I go to Benidorm again.
Brilliant videos, well done on 5k subs. :)
Congratulations 🎉 on 5k Paul, well deserved!❤️
Thank you so much Deanna xxx
@@whoknowswhere A testament to all your hard work Paul xxx
Barceló Benidorm,really good hotel and enjoyed your video ,stayed this last Dec ,beautiful roof terrace
Great review again Paul. Food looked tempting. 😊
Great video as always 👍 I love Benidorm. We like Hotel Mediterraneo across from Benidorm Palace.
Looks really nice hotel apart from the evening meal look forward to your next video.
I assume your videos are not published in chronological order. I cant keep up, one day your are in Poland, the next in Benidorm, back in Poland and then in Torremolinos....and now back in Benidorm. But I love them all. Keep up the good work !
The channel is called who knows where sometimes I don't even know where I'm going adds to the fun
Love it
Lovely hotel. Great sea views.
After a weekend looking after family your wonderful video was great for some me time! Wow what a beautiful hotel and a balcony view like heaven, bliss🌞. I'd say the bed's a queen and it's a bolster my Nana had them. Stunning decor and all high spec. Food I saw looked healthy and fresh yes they need a today's menu. That price is a great deal. Thanks Paul ❤️
Wooooooow! Beautiful hotel. Great room, amazing location. Loved views from your room. Food looked top quality. Loved it ❤
Gorgeous hotel, great video enjoyed the watch. Looking forward to more 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
I think it's a good idea to put tops on cups so no dust or bugs get in them especially in the cupboard ❤❤
😊looks lovely room fab could have mentioned air con take it they had it as very important in summer 😮
Brilliant . Benidorm great but too old now to enjoy it but love it and would love to stay there again. All happy memories so just Enjoy.
Bèen several times. Would stay where you were 1st night .looking forward to next 4😊
Wow 👌 love it the pool id stay thete all day heven 😅
Great videos, very informative and detailed thanks.
Certainly nothing wrong with that place they probably just need to do a bit of fine tuning after all it's not long been open. The price is certainly not out of the way for what your getting for your money you can pay more than that to stay at a travel Lodge and you wouldn't get 3 meals in the price great video looking forward to the next one.
That’s a great shawer ❤ room fine beach outside great
What a view.Great hotel
I do like the look of the hotel. I agree some of the foods need a label. Personally I do enjoy having food local to the country.
The price is really good for half board, single occupancy. I could get a room for 91 stirling let alone food as well here in Ireland.
reall good review very informative cheers
Beautiful hotel lovely views I agree with you paul food should be labelled so you no wot it is a great price for the night as well
Yes I certainly would want to know what I'm eating , at least if food is labelled you know what the dish is . It looks a beautiful hotel, with stunning sea view .
Amazing hotel great blog Paul ❤xxxxxx
That hotel looked so good, yes I would stay at this hotel. Mind you it's a brand new hotel, you wouldn't expect to see things wrong broken. Thanks for the video.
I would rather be there than Blackpool regardless!!
Very good hotel really lovely Paul yes they need labels on the food Paul your room was lovely great video very nice sea view 😊
Deffo stay there looks amazing. Xx
Very nice ❤❤❤ I love the walkiin shower
Paul that is one super, super hotel honestly. I would definitely stay there, and costly maybe, but that is the price you pay for excellance, first class. It has everything you need in terms of activities. I thought your room was 'magnifico'. I really can't fault it to be perfectly honest, and how could you. Its brand new and purpose built. I really could not find any fault at all. Its obviously been built with ultra-luxury in mind. And those views what more could you ask for.
Exactly they just need to tweak the food then it would be 100%
Think its an Emperor Bed😊
Gorgeous 😁❤️ I want to stay there 😂👍 enjoy your videos and tours that you do of different hotels 🏨 and I’d say that was a pretty good price for this hotel and especially from a Blackpool lass 😁 look forward the next one 👍Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁
Glad you like them!
Beautiful view ❤
very honest review,thanks
Definitely need to give this place a go,😊
Enjoy watching you,it’s good to see places it helps us on finding a nice hotel , location , do you go on your own all the time ?
Most of the time
Hi Paul , I was so impressed with the Barcelo Hotel, after watching your video, I book to go next month, booked a front sea view , so thank you .
Can you remember the breakfast opening time , I'm an early riser 😊
Cheers
7am till 10.30 I think they all roll into one when you do so many hotels at once lol
@@whoknowswhere thanks Paul 👍
i love benidorm, ive stayed in alicante too both are ace.
I’ve just booked this hotel for the 17th February for a week Bed & Breakfast. Looks a beautiful clean modern hotel can’t Waite . Thanks for the review
Hope you enjoy it!
Congratulations Paul 5k beautiful hotel just my type of hotel food looked lovely thanks for sharing definitely agree food should be labelled don't think it was a bad price Paul ❤❤
Paul, that hotel is 😍. Fantastic camera and editing skills. Oh just sooo therapeutic to have that view and the sun. By the way you can still purchase bolster pillows, great for reading in bed. Great value really, can image rather pricey in high season. Yes I would want to know what I'm being served. Can I please ask, do you have heating in the room?Keep em coming 😊
Yes Aircon cold or hot
I've stayed in hotels all over Spain, but have to agree with the very strange food combinations in some.
Great review by the way.
I stayed in this hotel when it was Selomar amazing location
YES!! 100% stay there...
Never been to Benidorm ( always go to Majorca) but we are thinking of a change for next year, so watching with interest to see which are the best hotels, like this one but might be a bit pricey when we go end of July ( I work in a school).
4 more 4star hotels coming in the next few videos different prices
Lots in Mallorca being upgraded.They seem to only want the big spenders on the Island!
Better clientele
I am new to this I’m really enjoying your videos.
Welcome onboard
Nice looking hotel, lovely views from the balcony & reasonably priced not sure on the food thou but would definitely consider it next time but we're all booked for Easter in the ambassador playa 2🍻👍
Check out my Ambassador review
Already have & can't wait to get back to benidorm, it was our first time last year stayed in the sol clean, tidy & staff were polite just needs a bit of updating 🍻🍻🍻 @whoknowswhere
Brilliant video love this hotel ❤️
Thanks so much!
Hi I loved the hotel but just me nit picking 😂am not keen on no doors on the wardrobe and no draw space to put personal items in and meditation .noticed none in bedside table,I really enjoy your videos x
I always stay at the Venus or calypso. Food always good. Don’t think I’ll change to Barcelo any time soon!
I have stayed at both, but the Venus for me.
Yes I would price is good
The BARCELO Hotel used to be the old SELOMAR .....a cracking Hotel ! was shut and rundown for years and years, lovely spot and not to Expensive! was a good 3 star if I remember right.
The family who owned it argued for years what to do with it.Years ago it was sold with so many supplements for the views.I used to sell it my clients
We were there last week Paul not in hotel (we in Port Benidorm). Checking hotel over from promenade your right side rooms not the best for views. Liked your comment about cost comparison with Blackpool hotel,spot on! B
Hi just back from that hotel it is amazing was 4th floor side sea view as front rooms 7th floor are sooooo expensive we only stayed there as got a good deal was looking for September but far far to expensive can go to thailand for same price for two week
Hi the hotel opened first week in October 2024 only know as was there on the opening day thats what drew me to wanting to stay there would of loved to have sea view room but got side view still lovely though
I've never been to Benidorm I'll have to give it a try some time soon. I do travel to Thailand Pattaya and if you want cheap hotels that's the place to visit best 4 stars hotel they charge per room instead of per person. I've just returned from a 4 week holiday stayed in a 4 star hotel cost me £1,100 included Breakfast.
I've been to Thailand 5 times and love it
Looks a lovely hotel. Its a yes from me.
Hi, brilliant videos!! I search youtube for Benidorm videos and yours are fantastic, hopefully you ca do more in the future. Content is excellent and the way you present is brilliant and entertaining. Keep it up and I'll look on Facebook for you and give you a follow.
Welcome onboard , so glad you like the videos I always give truthful reviews of what I experience
Stopping here now same room it’s fab
Is it as I said?
Yes it is…not had evening meal so can’t comment on that…it’s the best hotel in Benidorm…in my opinion..
Ambassador playa looks okay and food selection is great but the location of the hotel Barcelo steals it for me. I haven’t been back to Benidorm since 1969 so I will notice a change.
Let’s do it man 🤗👍
Great review! I actually booked this hotel before I saw your review of it but now I’m as excited as you seemed when you checked in. I’m staying in May so the prices were more. Hopefully the dinner has improved but not too concerned. Question, are in room safes usually charged for use in Benidorm? You keep saying it’s free. You’re the second person I’ve heard mention this. Coming from Australia I don’t understand why they would charge a fee.
Most are not all
at one time you had to hire all safes in Spain
Looks a lovely hotel, the food and price is good, never fancied benidorm mainly due to the rowdy reputation it has (drunken brits) causing problems, and questionable entertainment (sticky vicky or daughter) would hate that, but out of season it has a lovely coastline and your room looked ideally situated, thanks for sharing Paul ❤
diane dont believe all what you read and hear about benidorm
Hi dianne,i use 2 think the same n my hubby tried 2 get me there for years but i wouldnt go because i thort it looked a shit hole but my god was i wrong😂 i av now fell in love with the place and this year will be my 3rd time ;theres so much more 2 it than the strip ,the old town is beautifull you should give it a try xx
I used to think the same but it's a place for everyone . Beautiful walks ..lovely bars.. restaurants. Just keep away from the rowdy bars...the old town is beautiful too 👍
@@randomgameplay9950 spot on 👍
Going to Benidorm in may first time staying at the Rio park hope it’s ok half board.
Its a nice hotel buts its at the top of a path known as the yellow brick road be careful late at night do not walk it alone, its renowned for muggings, taxi or walk the main roads x
Best quality/price hotels in Europe are in Spain.
We looked inside a few weeks ago & thought we’d stay sometime. But the bathrooms put me off. They look lovely, but I just don’t get the fascination with having no door. We once stayed in the Versace in Australia & that was the same so we’ll give this one a miss.
Yes, I remember the bolsters.
Liked the hotel very much. I would stay there. Looking forward to the next videos to compare.
Just come across your channel and I am enjoying the content. The hotel Riudor nice but awful location for me anyway but the hotel Barcelo looks pretty nice and can’t fault the location.
Welcome onboard
Food is always on a rotation.
The bed might be an emperor bed but I'm not too sure
Extra large for bears ❤
Hi paul ,it looks a nice hotel but i think your right about the food issue as ive watched another vlog on it and they said the same thing ,which hotel would you prefer that 1 or the ambassador xx
for board only and location this one but overall customer service Ambassador but watch out more to come
@@whoknowswhere will do paul thanks👍
But then you need to suggest that to them so that they will know what your concerns are
and they can rectify it.
Barcelo are a massive company spread across Spain I am surprised that they hadn't sent in a team sort out teething issues its Benidorm they must know what the clientele wants unless they want to keep that Spanish feel but most clientele whilst I was there where UK tourists
Great video, did this hotel use to be the Selomar Paul.?
I'm not sure I think it was before the fire
It was the Selomar left empty by the family who owned it arguing what to do with it.
Selomar, stayed there in 1974 4 star hotel then.
I think the bed is a queen bed 😂
All food should be labelled up with allergy information where required and you don’t see it a lot but in my opinion an all you can eat buffet style meal should always have this
😅have they got a charging and storage for scooter .? Xx
😊
Didn't see any scooters at all at this hotel
What's the best way to get to Benidorm from Alicante Airport, thank you.
I get the Alsa bus on level 2 but book your return journey at same time
No bidet?
No
I’m trying to figure out if I can get a train from Barcelona to Benidorm.
I can get a train from Paris to Barcelona.
You can get the train to Alicante and then the tram to Benidorm takes about 7 hrs
@@whoknowswhere
Thanks!! 👍
What a hotel i am disabled xp
What's with the wristband? can't stand wearing one of them surely just scanning the room card is enough? Only wore one once last month AI it just wasn't for me.
Bolsters pillows
