Benidorm is still good value for money

A while ago there was a thread about prices and how folk were not happy with them and I am sure a few members said they were not going again because of the costs and favoured Turkey insted for the better prices.

We visited Benidorm at Christmas and have just been to Turkey for easter. We tried Turkey as we fancied a change and we have just had a fatastic week there and I don`t want to be negative about Turkey but it wasn`t cheaper than Benidorm at all.

We were paying £2.50 for a beer, in Benidorm we could get a pint for a euro.
Short and mixer in Turkey £5, in Benidorm £1.80-£3.50.
Local wine £3 in Turkey, in Benidorrn £1 with a free tapas.
Supermarkets wanted £10 for a bottle of wine in Turkery, in Benidorm from £1 a bottle.

Some meals were cheaper in Turkey, some were a lot more expensive.

So anyone worrying about prices don`t you will be fine. Again this is not a negative response about Turkey as there are lots of fantastic things I can say about it, so please don`t turn this into a thread of Turkey v Benidorm. I just wanted to repot back incase anyone is worrying about how they will afford things.

Re: Benidorm is still good value for money

I would agree with you about Benidorm prices still being reasonable. We were there at the beginning of the year and agree with the prices you quote ( except the cabaret prices which you do expect to be higher)
We are going to Majorca in May and we are well aware that our drinks will cost much more than they did in Benidorm.

You cant get a decent fry up in turkey no pork allowed..I knew that this turkey is cheaper would be a sham, apparently turkey has jumped on the bag wagon and put prices up cos they knew people would be opting to go there in favour off eu countries...me Im sticking with spain..

I have been going to Turkey for 20 years and my holiday in May is costing less than my holiday in 1990 :que

You can get full English breakfast for 3TL and one place does one for £1,the trouble is its too big to manage even for my hubby who can eat for England. :rofl

I always went to Benidorm in January ,February or March but this year tried Tunisia for a change.

A group of 16 of us went to Beni for 4 days at the end of March. Benidorm takes some beating when it comes too value for money.
