is benidorm any good over christmas?

Question

i found a good offer (i think) for benidorm over christmas but does anyone know if is hot or any good? if not can you recomend somewhere that has both qualities?

Answer 1

You will find some decent entertainment at night but the weather will be very mild. Most hotels do not have heated pools so you won't be able to use the swimming pool in most cases as it will be too cold.

Head for the canary islands for decent weather, ie Tenerife, Lanzarote, more expensive but worth it I think.

Answer 2

The weather is fair in Spain at the moment, at least on the Costa del Sol where I live, so assuming it stays this way then it should be very pleasant in Benidorm.

There should be plenty of lively entertainment for you as many people over winter there and the hotels etc. are kept quite busy.

Alternatively look at the Costa del Sol as it is a fair bit further south and usually gets the best of the winter weather:-

Answer 3

The Costa Blanca isn't it associated with the dubious pleasures of mass tourism so typical of the early years of the Spanish holiday boom? All those dreadful high-rise hotel blocks in Benidorm, the all-day breakfast cafés and the beaches where sun-worshippers lie packed to­gether on the sand like sardines in a tin? Yes, they are still there. But, for the past few years, holidaymaker's and tour operators have been focusing their attention elsewhere, away from the seaside promenades and the plavas on the Costa Blanca. see http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/places/costa_blanca.htm

Answer 4

The Canary Islands are known if you are the sun hub of Europe! See this sunlight with hotelbye . Canary Islands provide a gentle conditions and a variety of exceptional natural attractions. Five of their seven islands have now been stated a Biosphere Reserve, and the archipelago has four national parks. Probably the most outstanding attractions in Canary Islands would be the beaches since they're only perfect for comforting in the sun or enjoying water sports such as for example windsurfing and scuba diving. In Canary Islands you will also be impressing by the inside appeal like: walking, cycle touring, hiking and also caving. Some of the very magnificent attractions of Canary Islands are: the volcanic scenery of Lanzarote, the beaches of Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria using their sand dunes, or the green woods of La Palma and La Gomera.

Answer 5

have been to old town benidorm and new town benidorm over xmas and new year, the hotels put on lots of entertainment or they use to, weather can be very good but chilly evenings, but guess theres no gurantees what with the changing climates world wide

Answer 6

Most of the hotels will be booked full of the over 60's by now, most places will be closed over the break as well, Old town is fine if you;re happy in gay bars, lots of those and gay hotels in abundance, so there's alwasy a lot of fun there, new part is full of pensioners. I live an hour away and I wouldnt bother, but it all depends on taste and preferences, and its not as warm as many think, its only about 18 in the sun today

Answer 7

I very lots doubt outdoors swimming pools would be open. I stay approximately 500 miles added south close to Marbella and oftentimes the swimming pools (except heated of direction) tend to be too chilly for many to swim in from the top of October till April. approximately 8 tiers water temp here at yuletide. on the different hand I anticipate there will be many bars open!

Answer 8

Benidorm any good over Christmas ? depends whether you`re sober enough to notice .............lol

Answer 9

Please answer the question yourself..... Would you go to Blackpool for Xmas if the weather was slightly better?
It won't be hot, but a little drier & sunnier.
The Canaries are warmer this time of year.

Answer 10

It will probably be cold and wet.

There is no more boring place than any summer resort out of season.
