  • Lucy goes in to the newly refurbished Riudor Hotel
    Benidorm is located on the Costa Blanca, Spain. Famous for it's beaches, bars, restaurants, nightlife, entertainment, hotels, sightseeing, party atmosphere, excursions, tours and sun. It is not only one of the top holiday destinations in Spain but one of the best tourist hotspots in the whole of Europe. British and Irish tourists love to travel to Benidorm, being one of the best resorts for a package holiday, but it is also well loved by many European travellers, and of course the Spanish themselves. It is an all year round holiday resort, the good weather means there is something to offer visitors of all nationalities and ages, and you will always find things to do and places to go. On our CZcams channel we bring you travel vlogs which show you in depth everything Benidorm has to offer. We hope you enjoy, soak up the sunshine and subscribe to our channel.

    Stayed here must of been 30 years ago. Lucy to young to remember, but pre internet days travel agents used to do "allocation on arrival" holidays where they would guarantee a certain star rated hotel in a resort of your choice. Obviously trying to last minute sell underbooked hotels. We were sent to the Riudor. It was awful and vowed never again. Stayed Calypso this March overlooking Riudor and when we left on 31st I didn't think in anyway that this hotel would be ready to open in May. They must have worked so hard. Have to say the refurb looks really nice and would now consider Riudor again due location and apparent facilities. Thanks Lucy👍

      Oh yes allocation on arrival holidays I remember those!! I went on one such holiday back in 2003, I'd have been 21 at the time. It was to Mallorca, beautiful island but unfortunately, the hotel we were allocated was grim! 😩

    Should have been staying there April 23rd for 2 weeks but obviously it didn't open until May 2nd so I was offered the Don Pancho instead, so while I have been in Benidorm I watched the last week of frenzied activity and was amazed when I called in on day one of opening. Very impressed with what I've seen and looking forward to returning in July, I frequent the Riudor Upto 5 times a year.

    Hi Lucy. My daughter booked for herself and my grandaughter aged 17 today in Ruidor. I phoned to make sure this was ok and they said no, she has to be 18 , hence she’s had to cancel. We’re all booked in there for next Feb as it’s my 60th, the only reason we booked it was because she would now be able to go. I don’t know why but the hotel doesn’t seem to have a clue about these new laws. I just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem and if there was anything they could do.
