    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.

      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!

  • @davidmarshall5596
    @davidmarshall5596 Год назад +4

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!!

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

    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
