I Stayed in Benidorm’s Most Famous TV Hotel… Was It Worth It?

I stayed in Benidorm’s most famous TV hotel – the legendary Sol Pelícanos, known to millions as the hotel featured in the hit British TV series Benidorm 🇪🇸

This is the hotel that helped make Benidorm iconic on British television, but the big question is… was it actually worth staying here in real life?

In this vlog, I take you inside the Sol Pelícanos hotel in Benidorm, showing you exactly what it’s like today. From check-in and the room tour, to the famous pool, bars, entertainment, breakfast, and the surrounding area – this is an honest, up-to-date hotel review with no filters.

I also head out to explore some of the real filming locations from the Benidorm TV show, comparing what you saw on screen to what it’s really like now. If you’re a fan of the show, planning a Benidorm holiday, or wondering whether this hotel is living off its reputation, this one’s for you.

This isn’t just about nostalgia – it’s about expectation vs reality.

👉 Is Benidorm’s most famous hotel still a must-stay?
👉 Or is it better remembered than experienced?

Watch till the end for my final honest verdict.
