Lucy's channel has an extensive review of the Don Pancho, whose food looked excellent. What was offered at the Sol looked pretty decent to me... yes, the beans were a bit runny but you dealt with that on the spot. It never ceases to amaze me the extent of tiny details about which people feel entitled to insist what you should do or should have done. Just eat what you like and review what you want to.
Going solely on appearances, I'd give the breakfast a 7. A decent fry-up, wide choice of cooked meat and cereal. I imagine the calm atmosphere of the dining room might be a little different an hour or so later though.
Mister Macmaster gotta give it a 7/10 simply due to the variety of breakfast choices on offer..& if it comes with the all in charge then that is a plus as there's something for everyone including chips 🍟 👌
Hi Lee, it looks very similar to our hotel breakfast ,we are staying at The Benidorm Plaza. We have had many other hotel type breakfasts and they are all similar. You summed it up perfectly it serves a purpose and sets you up for the day. 👍
Have you been to the hotel in Benidorm called Gran Hotel Bali? You can get the lift for free to the viewing plat form, I’d recommend getting the exterior lift to the top it’s a grey experience.
7/10 for the Breakfast 10/10 for the choice. I've had a lot of these hotel breakfasts abroad and I've always been impressed with the selection on offer.
Stayed at the Sol Pelicanos many times and as you say the breakfast is "ok", i would rate it as 6/10. It will sort you out for the day but had a better full english at other places like Yorkshire Pride and Wookey Hollow 2. Best thing about the Sol Pelicanos is the pool area.
Just watching a few of your older videos and I'll say this here, as there isn't a generic comments section, but, you're hands down my favourite RUclipsr, Lee. Thank you.
Hi Lee, that breakfast buffet looked like something else ! With such an outstanding variety to accomadate every taste they must serve hundreds a day. I'd never leave ! Lol M
Hi Lee, First the hotel looks fine, hygiene looks good. Breakfast to be honest looks like a typical Espania hotel, I wouldn’t complain mate. I’ll be in Bemindorm in the middle of April, as we love the place, lost count of how many times we have had the pleasure 👍🏻 for those who haven’t 🙈 you don’t know what your missing. I’ll be looking out for you if your about. We love the videos keep them coming Lee 👍🏻Out of 10 🤔 5 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have stayed there a few times because it’s cheap mainly. It is what it is, not brilliant quality but as you say serves a purpose. Score a little more than yours at 6. I only stay there when visiting my relatives. Usually only there over night so ok.
Just stayed there last week and I thought you were a bit harsh with a 5.5 ..they had 4 different types of sausages and 3 types of fresh orange juice which were all top notch I'd give it a 9 for the choices of different kinds of breakfast you could have
Lovely to bumpy into you yesterday while you were out recording we are staying in Flamingo Oasis food is absolutely amazing need to try this hotel maybe next time was Lovely to finally meet you take care and enjoy your family holiday you was talking about xx ❤
Hi.Lee. home from Benidorm,we stayed at Don Pancho 4 stars,, food fantastic.Your breakfast you had lots of choices, depends what a person likes. I give it a 6 for your breakfast 🥞
Lee , Shelle and Gaz here……we are in Benidorm atm……just go back to refuel or sherry’s for a proper breakfast xxx… hopefully see you soon! Spoke to Lucy today and left our number with her xxx
not a bad brekkie considering they have soo much to cater for, id eat it considering cost of living effected spain too. great vlog 👍 thanks lee for your honesty, id give it 7.5/10 x
Stayed there 30 years ago when it was called the Los Pelicanos, we renamed it the Doss Pelicanos. Beef stew on the menu one night, my Mum fished out half a rabbits skull complete with teeth out of her dish of 'beef stew'. She was hopping mad.
“Did you try the black pudding? It’s lovely “ to that point it actually is. Great hotel to stay at. Especially if you upgrade to the Gold plus All inclusive
Bog standard set up for Benni that mate. It's more or less the same in the hotels I have stayed at . I usually havec2 crusty rolls one with sausage in the other with bacon in .Can't be bothered with toast machines especially if queing up.
Hi there, another great video local Waze just to say very interesting to watch to see what it is like in the hotel breakfast. I didn’t like to look at some of the things. I do agree some of the bacon looked very pale and if I was going to market, I think I know a lot of people might get there, but I think I would only give it 3.5 that’s my opinion I just didn’t like to look at some of the stuff but like always I say to you you do you do a fantastic job with your videos and showing what things are like and you do not put any front on it you just do it as it is genuine. Keep up the good work
hi lee. thanks for another great review .i must say the fried eggs did not look very appetising.the rest was ok best thing was the toast and tomatoes.i have found that with the rotary toaster people mess around with the settings so sometimes the toast is barely done and on the other its black .enjoy rest of your stay mate.
Looked a standard hotel buffet breakfast, if I can have cereals and toast I’m quite happy so would be fine for me. Like you say is serves a purpose and there was a good choice. Enjoy your trip Lee 👍☀️🍺
Great review of sol pelicanos breakfast. They are all pretty much the same , not the best but you always manage to find something to eat. Would be good to see Dinner also.
I'd say I'd be able to get by alright with what's on offer there (and I'm a fussy enough eater!) Sausages did look brave and ropey, though. I have an issue with scrambled eggs in Spain. They taste strange for me; think they use olive oil with them. Miss the Spanish coffee big time...I love it so much!!
Yep always toast first, juice,coffee then the big fry up, It's never 5 star food at these hotels but it will do to fill up before an afternoon session on the strip, Keep up the great work,love watching pal 👍
For nice surroundings and views and a good breakfast try “The Jungle” on the sea front beside Tiki Beach, we normally have one day a week there. 🌞🏖☀🏝🍹☀
Hi Lee ❤ nice speaking to you last night 😊 breakfast looks adequate, it's not bad when like u say will set u up for morning 🎉 have a lovely holiday and hope to see you when I'm in benidorm end of year ❤
I think you should go to butlins Minehead for weekend and try the breakfast , they are much nicer than the food in benidorm, I give that a 5 out of 10 x
Mac master your videos never fail to make me laugh and put a smile on my face PS: I know I watched it this morning but…. PPS: is the hotel all inclusive?
OMG MacMaster. Whilst we know that European breakfast sausages and bacon aren’t the same as good old Blighty’s. That sausage looked worse than a catering (DJ would cringe 🤣). Yeah not a bad selection but Egg Chef’s presentation 🤔 controversial!! Brilliant VLOG as always and a fair score mate. Proper old skool 70’s way of pancakes 👌🏻. Please don’t stick metal into a toaster 🫣 as we’d miss your work.
Hello Lee loving your benidorm visits , and I’m a regular, yes breakfast in pelicanos 5 at best , if you get chance go see pablo bloom He does a show at don pancho hotel on Friday night at 8,45 if he is in town,or in uncle peds at 11,15 pm, don pancho beautiful hotel non residents welcome, but his show in peds more lively, thanks, michael
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 some of the foodies look good but others not so good eggs didn’t look that great and the toast as you said having to wait for them to get to the darkness. 5/10 for me😊
Stayed half board here a few years back and one of the lads was eating all sort of steaks and fish. He came down with food poisoning on the final day and we had to leave him in Benidorm - he ended up in hospital for a bit. That was our one and only time staying half board - been self catering every time since as it was too much of a school dinner vibe. Seemingly this is one of the better hotel restaurants in Benidorm. Wouldn't like to see the norm ...
Stayed at the Sol Pelicanos for Easter a few years ago. Bit of a disaster as the was a virus going round the hotel, 4 out the 6 of us were ill. We were half board also, 5 or 6 seems a fair score for the food in general mate! I would say its as good as most hotels I've stayed at in Beni! Except for the Flamingo Oasis, old hotel but nice grub, was AI there. In all honesty, although I know the hotel caters mainly for Brits, I think it's important to remember you're in Spain in a Spanish owned hotel. A full english isn't exactly Spanish cuisine lol. Maybe keep that in mind
Disney's Frozen yogurt cups 😂😂😂 I would have made toasted sandwiches with all those meat choices and cheeses. Pack them for free snacks for the day. I would give their buffet an uneasy 8/10. Great vlog Lee as always 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Great review Lee to be honest a typical hotel breakfast and yes I would rate 4 out of 10. If you want a great breakfast at a great hotel try Hotel Presidente they do a great breakfast with British back bacon we go there all the time give it a try in a few months time.😊
It was good to see the food in the hotel you’re staying at, you should do more of those videos :) Food looked average, but with the selection available no-one need go hungry.
Hi Lee , we have stayed at the pelicanos a few times and have tried the breakfast and like you say it serves a purpose, we though knocked it on the head pretty poor quality , I’d give it 2 out of 10 that’s for the fruit 😆. instead went to the Yorkshire pride where you get a proper breakfast and a good brew , you might have to wait a little but we’ll worth it 👍
Ours is included in May but to be honest when you've a stinking hangover doing it's thing that process of grabbing your drinks getting a table getting your food then doing your toast can be an odeal. U can't beat finding a bar and ordering
That breakfast looked very good for a hotel, I've had a lot worse Mac, hate them toasters but you can turn the heat up on the back of them, love your videos mate.
I think the food at sol pelicanos is great. All inclusive is the best. You can wake up and have a right royal spread 8am is best as by 8.30am everyone comes down. I love lunch too lots of fresh veg and fruit with light lunch or pasta. Dinner is full of choice. I had mushroom soup then pasta or fish then cheese with quince jelly and fruit. It really is fill ya boots time ❤❤❤❤
Like yourself, I had a fair few all included brekkys while on holibobs. This tho looked alight mate! Good selection, and you said it was warm too! Those bloody toasters tho 🙂
Yes that’s a low score. It looked ok tbh. Music was a great addition. Great to see you back in the ‘Dorm. The owners of Shelley’s Bar told me business is booming since your visit. How about trying Albea? It’s only a short bus ride away…

Yes Don Pancho food is incredibly good. Great Hotel
Going solely on appearances, I'd give the breakfast a 7. A decent fry-up, wide choice of cooked meat and cereal. I imagine the calm atmosphere of the dining room might be a little different an hour or so later though.
I think 5.2 is a tad low - plenty of choice and all looked reasonable for mass catering. Hope you video the dinner in the Pelicanos. Enjoy!

Thanks, Lee, great video. It really prepared me for my stay at the Sol Pelicanos for my first time in Benidorm
7/10 for the Breakfast 10/10 for the choice. I've had a lot of these hotel breakfasts abroad and I've always been impressed with the selection on offer.

Thank you for the review, I'm there in July for the first time so your videos are really useful.
Just watching a few of your older videos and I'll say this here, as there isn't a generic comments section, but, you're hands down my favourite RUclipsr, Lee. Thank you.
Great choice of breakfast would be happy with that i would have went for 6.5 because of the choice cheers Mac looking forward to the next vlog.
Your right the bacon is rank and sausage are not very good but fills a hole, when away👍.
I always look for the round switch on the side of the macine that gives you some colour on the toast.
The continental breakfast looks great. They've even got membrillo and magdalenas - perfect with a cafe con leche.
I thought it looked pretty good to be honest mate. Good selection. I'll go 6.5/10 buddy. Thanks as always for sharing👍👍
Hi Lee, that breakfast buffet looked like something else ! With such an outstanding variety to accomadate every taste they must serve hundreds a day. I'd never leave ! Lol M
Bust the egg yolks that is one of my pet hates when it comes to fried eggs?Another great review Lee,keep safe and well as always.
Hopefully the breakfast is better in the Sandos Benidorm Suites when us lads go in a couple of weeks. Great video as usual.
Why would anyone go and pay for a breakfast when you have it in your hotel, with a massive choice of cooked breakfast, fruit and continental style?
Quality!!!
It's nice to have breakfast somewhere different instead of sticking to the hotel all the time
Agree. We stayed a couple of yrs ago. Food was lovely in our opinion
@@stephenogden5470 I go all inclusive with my girlfriend because she likes it, but I don't use it myself as I think it's dreadful
Hi Lee, First the hotel looks fine, hygiene looks good. Breakfast to be honest looks like a typical Espania hotel, I wouldn’t complain mate. I’ll be in Bemindorm in the middle of April, as we love the place, lost count of how many times we have had the pleasure 👍🏻 for those who haven’t 🙈 you don’t know what your missing. I’ll be looking out for you if your about. We love the videos keep them coming Lee 👍🏻Out of 10 🤔 5 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I always do the toast first - it takes so long !
Cooked breakfast zero point. Pancakes doughnuts fruit yogurt 9. But plenty of selection thanks for sharing 👍
I have stayed there a few times because it’s cheap mainly.
It is what it is, not brilliant quality but as you say serves a purpose. Score a little more than yours at 6.

8/10 because the pancakes looked great and the cooked meats and cheeses and breads lovely
With those toasters I always find the temperature switch and turn it up .
Good video Lee,that breakfast didn't look great at all,Aromas cafe near the Old town end won't disappoint ,id give it a 4,keep the videos coming!
Stayed there 30 years ago when it was called the Los Pelicanos, we renamed it the Doss Pelicanos. Beef stew on the menu one night, my Mum fished out half a rabbits skull complete with teeth out of her dish of 'beef stew'. She was hopping mad.
🤣🤣
That’s worse than finding a hare in soup .
@@alanthomson1227 😂😂😂
😳
Love that craic 😂
“Did you try the black pudding? It’s lovely “ to that point it actually is. Great hotel to stay at. Especially if you upgrade to the Gold plus All inclusive

Good video Lee, me and my gf was watching this as we’re going benidorm in august
For mass catering it looked not bad a very good selection to choose from for me 7 . I agree though those toasters drive me mad.

Just came back from sunny benidorm stayed in the ridor Hotel breakfast was amazing xxx
Breakfast looks delicious
Going in May, love the videos, keep up the good work!

Try staying at Ambassador playa next time Lee. They do a great breakfast with proper English back bacon. It’s the hotel with the pink balconies.
Looked a standard hotel buffet breakfast, if I can have cereals and toast I’m quite happy so would be fine for me. Like you say is serves a purpose and there was a good choice. Enjoy your trip Lee 👍☀️🍺
Great review of sol pelicanos breakfast. They are all pretty much the same , not the best but you always manage to find something to eat. Would be good to see Dinner also.
I always have a full breakfast and lots of coffee at the Sol pelicanos,their best meal of the day
4 out of 10 ...looked Brutal
I'd say I'd be able to get by alright with what's on offer there (and I'm a fussy enough eater!) Sausages did look brave and ropey, though.
I have an issue with scrambled eggs in Spain. They taste strange for me; think they use olive oil with them.

It was horrible when we went last September. Ate out all the other days. 1/10
For nice surroundings and views and a good breakfast try “The Jungle” on the sea front beside Tiki Beach, we normally have one day a week there. 🌞🏖☀🏝🍹☀
Don't forget scarbados life boat fisheries and here in Leeds Robin Hood fisheries simply stunning both brilliant love benidorm stayed there
Hi Lee ❤ nice speaking to you last night 😊 breakfast looks adequate, it's not bad when like u say will set u up for morning 🎉 have a lovely holiday and hope to see you when I'm in benidorm end of year ❤
That breakfast certainly looked good.
Apart from the fact that the Spanish can’t do bacon, that looks banging. Solid selection.
Was over in Benidorm a couple of weeks back and I would recommend The Winning Post for a breakfast. Brilliant food and incredible value for money 👍🏻
I think you should go to butlins Minehead for weekend and try the breakfast , they are much nicer than the food in benidorm, I give that a 5 out of 10 x
Can’t beat The Yorkshire Pride for the full English👍👌
It looked great👍
Looks great
With the amount of choice,it’s what you make of it
Hi lee were arrived yesterday staying by the red lion on the british square.hope to catch up for a hand shake and a chat.👍
5.5 from me. A good insight, Lee. Thank you for all your hard work.
Mac master your videos never fail to make me laugh and put a smile on my face

Been here since Tuesday, weather spot on..Brooklyn cafe, sun spot and lovely food...where you filming tomorrow, last full day for us here 😔
Just Yr standard hotel breakfast abroad my friend onwards
The breakfast options look good. This reminds me of the buffet breakfast I had with my cousin in Tenerife back in 2014 at cleopatra hotel
It was good to see the food in the hotel you’re staying at, you should do more of those videos :)
Food looked average, but with the selection available no-one need go hungry.

We stopped their in January.. saw you ther then.. seems to be more selection now the then ... am going to give it a straight in the middle 5
Enjoyed seeing the hotel breakfast . Don’t forget to go Northern sole chip shop
I did, vlog coming soon. x
I only got back yesterday but highly recommend cafe refuel in the old town, had the fillet stake from there was unreal and the breakfasts are 10/10
Loving the videos, not sure if you are still in Benidorm, you may have already tried but pizzeria duetto is really good for Italian
that sky rain here all the week .great vid
front road outside the hotel was a dirt track then, no buffet, it was all table service in 1976.
Stayed there for 10 days half board last August first morning had a look at breakfast,didn't bother ate out every day lol
Good choice by the look of that plate of shite mate😂
What were the black balls next to the bacon? Black pud?
Olives
Ours is included in May but to be honest when you've a stinking hangover doing it's thing that process of grabbing your drinks getting a table getting your food then doing your toast can be an odeal. U can't beat finding a bar and ordering
Looks really nice, you can’t beat quality produce 😋

Got to say what’s displayed looks 100 times better than when we were there last month !
Exactly... had it many o times..it is what it is. Not the best not the worst. 6/10
I give it a 6/10. Had the breakfast a few years back.
Its a 4 from me Lee!... Eggs looked ok but the rest a classic Spanish breakfast!! Think its a Breakfast out tomorrow?? Lol
Like yourself, I had a fair few all included brekkys while on holibobs. This tho looked alight mate! Good selection, and you said it was warm too! Those bloody toasters tho 🙂
I give it 5 😮 for the pancakes and 4for the rest.😊hope you have a lovely time.❤😅.
Wow that was a tasty breakfast 🤣🤣
