after enduring one episode the place is DEFO and i mean this hand on heart DEFO NOT on my list of places to visit
is it really that bad??  |

It's a comedy show so I wouldn't let it stop me from visiting the area, it's no more a true reflection of Benidorm than Eastenders is a true reflection of what living in East London is.

Ive only been to spain once and to feurtaventura ...
If going abroad i like to see the culture of said country and would never do the beach stuff or the egg and chips stuff.
Not my kind of holiday but i admit....
I actually laughed at some of it last week. a first for me  |

well i doubt the places it was filmed in are props!! i wasnt really talking about the people
i,m clever enough to work out they are actors but the people in the background werent!! Primarni wearing chavs as far as i could see.
the place however looked an absolute shit hole and i see no difference going there for a hols as going to blackpool apart from a bit of sun!
terrible looking place |

I love the show! Or rather I loved it before all the cast changes.
As for the place I drove past it once in the mountains you can see behind it in most scenes. I kept on driving. |

Love the show but have never been to the place.
To me the stereotype Benidorm is skyscraper hotels full of fat Englishmen demanding English beer, egg and beans and football at the English pub down the road on a Sunday.
But I'm sure it isn't like that ...
Is it ? |

I can never understand why Brits go on holiday abroad then expect to have everything British when they get there.
If your gonna do that you may as well stay at home   |

Benidorm is a nice place out of high season, I find that it's best to actually visit places before deciding they are crap....
Making a judgement on the basis of a television comedy programme is hardly the same as actually going somewhere and finding out for ones self. |

i've been and enjoyed it...love the mixture of high rise hotels, and then disappear into old benidorm and see its charm.....to stereotype a place cos of a tv prog is showing naievity... |

I went last May and tended to stick to the front and the old town. I was in an all inclusive hotel so tended to stay there until around 10 and then moved on to some local bars.
It was great will be going again real soon.
Could not watch too much of 'Sticky Vicky' though!!!! Did nothing for me lol |

They are an embarrassment! Was in a lovely restaurant in Paris and the male half of an English couple asked for tomatoe ketchup in a loud voice. His wife looked stricken but resigned, he of course, thought he was absolutely hilarious.
Then again, my ex-husband goes into Italian restaurants and asks them if they have any hot pepper sauce. |

My biggest nightmare would be to be forced to go on a package holiday to somewhere like Benidorm, makes me shiver the thought of it.
Benidorm is set in a proper hotel with tourists. They just section one area of the pool off. The hotel has become very popular since the making of the show.

im glad your so shallow that you base your opinion on other peoples knowledge not your own, and we relocated to get away from a country that is so screwed by the government that it will be going through another economic crisis soon.
you carry on paying well over the top for everything while we live here council tax free, cheap drink n cigs lots of sun and no d*unken idiots until the brits arrive |

I admire your stance, I'd rather stay on the beautiful island that my forefathers fought for and a country that i am incredibly proud of, some may try to bring us down, give me England any day - we can go on holiday all over the world but we love to come home - good luck in the future i feel you may need it.

I base my opinion on what i saw with my own eyes
many on here confirmed it including YOU who actually live there and say yourself that its a complete ass of a place once the brits arrive but then a ton of brits live there too dont they??
As for paying over the odds in this country dont worry your pretty little head about me i can well afford it and if i cant then your neck of the woods would be the last place i would move to.
Cheap drink and cigs as you put it are about as important to me as blowing my nose..lets face it you probably smoke fake cigs anyway but if the basis of your move from this glorious island to that shithole was for cigs,cheap drink and not pay council tax then the only shallow person i can see is YOU!

I think it is safe to say that given the chance the majority of people (even if they won't admit to it) would jump at the chance to live in Spain rather than where they live now.

We may be in danger of over-generalisation here. Italy, Spain and so on are big and varied countries.

I can assure you that since 1988 I've not been to just one part of Spain, but over most of it. My sister has lived in Italy since 1988, so another country I know well.
All things considered, and comparing the two, oh, and being biased, yep, it's Italy! |

he owns the top floor pent house, if elton john stays in benidorm not that much of a shithole with the money he could spend else where LOl |

Benidorm is like many other Holiday destinations...
There are good parts of Benidorm and there are parts you wouldn't go anywhere near, the same goes for my favourite haunt Ibiza.
I wouldn't dream of ever going into San Antonio again, but I have every intention of retiring to the island sooner rather than later.
Look at Jamaica, lovely in a Sandals resort....you try walking around Kingston late at night....or in the day come to that!
Have to admit though....I too avoid areas that British holidaymakers hang around, I find the Dutch and Italians are better to socilaise with in Ibiza. |

You only have to look at him to realise that money can't buy taste. |

at the end of the day unless you have been there and gave it a go no one should really bad mouthh anything or anyone, people have different _iews on things yes but calling someones place of living a shithole etc is uncalled for |

it is a shithole when the brits arrive according to him i just think it looks that way every time i have seen it on tv,holiday programs,youtube etc etc
but he lives there and is british so what does that say??
this post wasnt about where certain people live it was about a holiday destination that looks,is and is portrayed as a chavs paradise
where do i live??
what has that got to do with this thread exactly but if you must know i live in 3 different places leeds london and cardiff would you like my origins as well?
As for Sandals in jamaica maybe YOU cant go to downtown Kingston but i certainly can and have many a time but then i,m not lobsterfied |

Iwas born in leeds, so yes i know it, lived in the uk for more years than you have been alive and got for no other reason than Spain is a much better place to live, love the uk as a place countryside etc its been ruined over the years by lots of things, the government being a major part.
As for racism wondered if you might use the old card some where along the thread, not in the least i have many good friends who are black in both the uk and here, but then again your not black so why should you have to worry.
why can you go to downtown kingston cos your hard of course already worked that one out. |

How on earth is airing "our own opinions" unfair to other users? |

airing ones own opinions is great but when it gets personal between two ops the not good for the thread the site or other users.

That sounds suspiciously like 'airing opinions is great so long as that opinion agrees with yours'. |

Not at all and we are all entitled to our own opinions, mine are based on fact, the fact that i live in spain not based on hear say or a two week holiday so to me my opinion is right or i would change it, dont expect everyone to have the same opinion or you lot would all live here too, just when things start to get personal as they have between us and the op who started the thread then its time to call a halt for it, saves some other no mark jumping on the band wagon |

I'm sure the rest of us will be very, very sorry to see you stop contributing to this thread (as you've been threatening to do for some time now) but I suspect you'll continue to seek to have the last word... and thus it will continue. |
