Yes and eventually it will kill it the guys made out they didn't understand NOwhen we were there we noticed they even let another single guy in all they think is we have paid our money and want sex |

Yes 15 - 5 isn't a great ratio. But....I don't believe Saturdays are advertised as solely couples only. The club is open to everyone. Also there is a dedicated couples only room. There is a sign at the door saying couples only. If single guys came into this area then they should have been asked to leave and if they persisted then management should have been informed. |

Hi everyone,i agree some single guys spoil it for us genuine people i respect no is no,when i want to go to _he swing i have to email them and let them know when i would like to go apparently im put on a list and let me know on the day if i can go im told by the owner this is to keep the number of single men down and if i dont turn up im not allowed to go again.That was the rule last year i go to my appointment in Benidorm every October for a month so it will be interesting what the rules are. |

Every guys who is invited is informed by WhatsApp that the couples room is for couples only. When they arrive they are told again. And at the couples room is a sign that says COUPLES only.
There is one thing WE can do. Place a guard at the entrance and raise the price. There is one thing YOU can do. TELL us right away and we will take care of it. Putting this on a forum AFTERWARDS is pretty useless but it seems the preferential (though ineffective) way.
Also, the numbers are absolutely incorrect. We always make up the balance shortly before closing time and on Saturday the 14th of September 10 guys visited us and 14 couples. We always aim to get less guys than couples though it's impossible to know who will come and at what time. |

Also, it is NOT couples night. There is absolutely no mention of that on our website, on the contrary.
It's swingers night, NOT couples night. It also says that we keep the balance between single guys and couples and we absolutely do so.
If people (couples) send us a message saying they are 100% SURE visiting on a certain date but don't show up (and of course don't tell us) then that is a bloody difficult job. |

Every single day the porn cinema 'El Sofa' is open from 1 pm until 7.30 pm. If you visit at day time there might be 10 or 20 or 30 men. There might be 5 couples too. There might be none. Correct, at the porn cinema we do nothing else but let in as many people as possible! The El Sofa website is very clear about this.
If you visit at night you visit The Swing and that is run as a swingers club. And yes, on Wed and Sat we do NOT allow in too many single guys! The Swing has it's own website and all info is very clear. |

DONCASTER: The guys indeed have to contact us beforehand if they want to visit The Swing. Their number goes on a list. If they get invited but don't reply or confirm but don't show up they go on the black list. Depending on the number of couples we invite X guys. The only 'little' problem is that we never know how many couples visit and inviting guys at midnight makes no sense. |

Give the owners a break guys. Info is v clear if you look on the web site.
We are going this Friday and hope to post positive feed back. Benidorm needs a good club and that comes from support of like minded people.

"Touchy can’t upset the owners now "
your comments are always very negative about this club. I've been lots of time in the last couple of years and it's one of the friendliest well run places I've been too.

Last year we went to the new zoo in Benidorm but never again, they didn't have any Kiwis from New Zealand.
Ever since we spend 2 hours a day on various forums expressing our disgust.
So guys, if you ever are in Benidorm, do NOT go to the new zoo, it's absolute crap! Please copy/paste this message and send to as many people as possible. |

Personal experience is that the owners are very good at what they do. It's a relaxed atmosphere and well run. There is a balance to be struck between what everyone wants or expects and yes some nights it may not be right but that's life. We always look forward to visiting _he swing and enjoying the club. X |

All good swinging is about respect. To respect others and to be respected. To have eyes, ears and minds open to the people that you are amongst. You have to ajust to make things work for everybody. Of course you need some basic rules and regulations, and having been to both El Sofa and The Swing I must say that it works quite well. On top of that guests themselves should take responsibility of everybody having a good time instead of just pointing fingers. The "I am right, so I don't need to listen to others" attitude is counter productive, and if people with that attitude prefers to stay away, I think it's best for everybody. But if they insist on poisoning the atmosphere of this debate there is nothing left to do but ignore them. I am still looking forward to visiting both cinema and club again. See you. |

'Crawl back under your stone'.
That's an expression you have used quite a few times in different posts.
We have asked you WHY you have such a grudge against us but you never reply to any question. You just like to stir up things. Well, if you get your energy from that we are sorry for you. No matter where we are in life, negative energy never leads to any good. |

Visited this club 3 times on last visit to Benidorm earlier this month.
Everything is clearly explained on the forum for both _he swing and el sofa, so don’t know how people could get mixed up and think sat night is couples only as it’s clear on the site exactly what Saturday nights are.
Lovely clean club toilets are spotless as is everywhere else.
Great bar prices. Owners are lovely and friendly very informative and great to chat with
People have to take some responsibility and if someone is not taking no for an answer then tell the owners whilst you’re there! No point complaining afterwards as the situation can’t be dealt with there and then by the owners
We will definitely be visiting again on our next visit as the club is so friendly and welcoming |

That indeed is a BIG problem!
On some days all couples who message us about an upcoming visit (which is very much appreciated!) turn up but on other days they simply don't and usually they don't 'cancel'.
We like to believe that next week Wed/Fri or Saturday will be like last Wed/Fri or Sat (if it was busy of course) but the past means absolutely nothing.
Tonight (Friday Sep 20th) is NEWBIE night and likely to get busy as a unusual large number of both couples and single guys have messaged us.
Suppose it indeed gets very busy, will next week Friday be similar? Nope, there might be nobody or just 1 couple. (who will then of course think we are the shittiest club in the universe and we fully understand but ......)
For that reason it's risky to invite many single guys but if we don't and it does get busy later on, we can't invite people at midnight can we? (too late)
It's tricky and we don't have the solution. We'll pay € 1000 to anyone who does and that's no joke! |

The NEWBIE night (and for those who are just curious) on Friday 20th indeed went well. It was busy and, just as important, it was fun! Most people arrived before 10 pm so right from the start there was a good atmosphere. Few locals but many from England and Ireland.
Some couples said they'd be back tomorrow on the regular Saturday's swingers night. Good!
So we have decided to open next week Friday as well. Will it get just as busy? We don't know but a good night gives you positive energy for the next one! |

Always had a great time at The Swing. It was our first time a year ago, and we've been back lots of times since.
Mark runs a great place, very clean and friendly.
There have been a couple of occasions where it felt like there were maybe a couple to many single guys, but its no big deal.
I don't think you could find anyone trying harder, and to see the negative comments is kinda sad. |

Why thank you “Swing” 😘. We’ve had a great time at your club. Both during the day at El Sofa and at the Swing at night. We can’t wait to visit again, El Sofa was great with lots of willing and polite guys 😈. The Swing was just as good with nice couples and a few nice guys. The chats with yourself were good too btw 😎. Can’t wait to get over again. |

Sadly we must join the growing list of unhappy ex patrons of _he swing. We turned up before 10pm last night and were refused entry at the lower price of 25 euro as we hadnt booked on line? We knew nothing of this recent change in policy and we didn't have our phones with us to do anything about it. We have previously been many times to this club but the attitude taken by them for this oversight leaves us to support the view that it may be time for the owners to move on. It was a point of principal for us, had it been 40 euro entry all night we would have paid but the petty jobs worth attitude taken by the girl on the door was unforgivable. For us, it was our last visit to the club until new owners move in. |

This is correct. If you book online and pay in advance and arrive before 10 pm the entry indeed is only € 25. That offer has been on the website for a long time'.
The regular price is € 40 on Saturday regardless of the arrival time with 8 drinks included.
Both LOW prices are very clearly indicated on the website under 'SATURDAY'.
There is no way we can keep everybody informed of our opening days, prices and conditions unless we hired a plane with a banner that would have to fly up and down the coast but all info is on our website. 'Prices' button to be precise and all important info is highlighted in yellow.

Just wanted to update the group on our post. On reflection we should have spoken with the owner Marc rather than just leaving. They do run a good club in a difficult business so hats off to them. We will I hope be back soon to enjoy _he swing x |

All you have done for ages is slag off the Swing/EL Sofa, true guests and the owners, if you hate it so much just leave the forum and find somewhere / someone else to antagonise

We all get angry from time to time and we don’t always respond in an appropriate way. We too, well, ‘me’ really, do or say things we shouldn’t have done or said in hindsight. Not just online but in life in general.
Especially online we write things we wouldn’t say face to face or we even write things that are utterly offensive or simply straight lies. We all know this (worldwide) problem.
In any case, we don’t have a problem with people expressing their anger or frustration but the first step should always be to ‘talk in person’ first. Online that means contacting that person privately, if possible of course.
If you get no reply or an ugly one, at least you tried. Yes, it might be for nothing.
Negative attention, whether justified or not, may actually not be bad for a business. Just think of an airline! However, personally I find a spontaneously written great review on Google more important than € 50 and principles come first.
If somebody is there only to pour oil on a fire there is another possibility to stop that.
