Benidorm: the vibe
Videos from people who went, played right here, with what viewers said underneath. Not part of the score.
The verdict
Mixed · 62Mostly praise for the videos themselves, but the few real visitor comments lean positive on cost and nearby towns, with the party-heavy downtown the main caveat.
- affordable living
- cheap transport
- old town
- nearby towns
- beaches and promenade
- party zone
- touristy downtown
- high-rise feel
- Living costs are noticeably lower than Costa del Sol or Canada.
- Surrounding towns like Altea and Calpe are nicer than central Benidorm.
- Downtown feels overrun by tourists and nightlife, less appealing for long stays.
- Public transport is good and inexpensive for getting around.
- Thin evidence overall; most comments just praise the videos, not the city.

“I'm with you - downtown Benidorm is a bit too Jersey for me, but the surrounding areas are really nice. I can't get over that promenade over the sea... and it looks like you had it basically to yourself! The beach you guys swam at also look”

“Wow. Another great video. I love the balance you made between the surrounding areas and the party zone. I was thinking this would not be a good area to visit, but your video has changed my mind. Thank you!”
