I don't think antisocial behaviour is an urgent priority at all and whatever the plan is to curtail the issue what you experienced shows it up to be utter nonsense. It's great that your recording highlighted this x
Just discovered your channel and I’m absolutely loving the reviews of the hotels!! so I had to subscribe… love how honest and straight to the point you are especially this nightmare hotel…
I have just subscribed to watch your videos. I really enjoyed watching this video. I don’t think I’ll be rushing to book this hotel anytime soon. In fact, Majorca is going further down my list of places to visit. I’ve never stayed in S’Arenal, as I believe it’s the German equivalent of Magaluf and quite a few other resorts too. I stayed in Cala Bona, Magaluf, Porto Calom, and Alcudia many years ago. I think Majorca has changed over the years, which is sad in a way.
Hello again Paul. Good reportage from you again. You say it like it is and I like that. Well, some you win and some you don’t & this was a dud one. Thanks for the heads up and I’ll be sure to give this Hotel a swerve. Best wishes as always. 💕
First time watching really enjoyed listening and watching im wanting to go away absolutely terrified i dont have a clue where to start help !!!! Maybe watching more of your videos will help thankyou 😊
@@whoknowswhere thankyou can you recommend any places for me any places abroad for next year in the mean time I try and catch up on your other videos 🙂
Should have gone out and given them a Kirkby Kiss, Paul 😂 Inconsiderate sods. I’m glad the bar was empty and the plans to fleece guests isn’t working. I admire your frank review. Defo one to avoid mate.
I don't really go abroad, and watching this account of the shambles of a hotel am i glad. But really really enjoy your vlogs they are so informed ,keep up the good work
Hi Paul sorry to hear you had a bad night but I know I won’t be your last. There are people out there that have no consideration for others when on holiday. I’ve done Palma Nova 15 years ago and I had the same experience but my room was above reception 😂. I’ve done Benidorm four times and never got that 🤷🏼♀️. I was watching last night live and someone mentioned Tunisia , I did it before a year before lockdown and I did not enjoy it because every time we came off our hotel complex we were pestered by shop keepers, that and alcohol drinks being crap . But must say the weather and hotel staff were great, one place I would recommend in Benidorm is the Corona del Mar in the old town stayed the for my 50th birthday very happy with everything 😎👍keep up the good work Paul looking out for next vlog . Best of luck in next one Darren 😎
Aw Paul what an awful experience but your storytelling is wonderful and so funny! Your video has completely shown the massive flaw in this semi prohibition reducing anti social behaviour and the receptionist sudden loss of English and inability to help shows they don't even care anyway! As for your room I have an experience of a double room (that should have been a single) done out nicely but facilities as much use as a chocolate teapot and it was awful sharing it as a couple, we managed not to kill each other 😂 The fact staff are inefficient and surplus to requirements sounds indicative of an establishment on the decline. Price is scandalous and unjustifiable and thank you for these reviews they are so important for people in their search for good, affordable places. Take care ❤️ x
Will defo not be going to this hotel, not after hearing the lack of support regarding those clowns making all that anti-social noise, like it's not as if it was just one clap/bang, it was random and frequent, the staff sound totally hopeless, great video 👍
Hi Paul great video despite what you had to put up with. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from other guests so much clamping down in anti social behaviour. Think got ripped off price payed for that tiny room least bed was clean food looked nice sorry hear your experience so unpleasant glad recorded the noise I’m gonna share your video with my family hope your next hotel stay better one for you👍 Shared your video.
Not exactly very welcoming looking over the balcony a touch of vertigo for me also,I like my sleep and like you would have been a bit peed off as for lack of Wi-Fi it's a necessity these days. Many thanks for your video and an excellent, honest review, and say it, as it is .I'm looking forward to the next review 😊😉.
omg Paul try Gran Canaria playa del ingles amazing place you would love it me and carl have just got back the place is amazing try Rickys bar if u go xx
Oh dear. Not good. I stayed at the Whala Beach for my short trip and was very happy and impressed, Arenal in general I really liked and would definitely go back. How did you find the area in general?
@@whoknowswhere I didn't explore the back streets so much tbf apart from when I went for tapas at night, but the sea front was beautiful. Great videos though mate, and very very informative 👍
I really hope number 5 hotel is an improvement on this. I felt your anger and frustration in this one towards the end. The two blue sea ones were much better value for money. Take care
Sorry to see you had a bad experience this time Paul. Nothing worse than yobs making a noise at night/early morning and most likely not Brits this time. A tiny room but not a tiny price :(. Good to see the hotel bar empty and they are having to pay the bar staff for doing little to nothing. They seem to be on a path to self destruction. Of the over 4K views..... Come people hit the like button!!!!
Sounds like a nightmare Paul. The All inclusive to me is just a con for the hotel to save money and us to spend more. I’m tee total so would not affect me but does sound like a rip off.
Simply outrageous. Just my personal view, but I've found a lot of the Arenal hotels underwhelming and just not up to the standard of Benidorm. Full of Germans with no respect for the British from staff.
Oh dear Paul. You are bound to get a dud sometimes. At least viewers won't go there, unless they want to tap dance into the night. Haha! Lots of Hotels don't have tiles along corridors any more to cut out this clatter of shoes and echoing, but it is, as you say unacceptable. Hope the next one is better and you get some sleep. Great video. Hotel didn't seem to be welcoming at all. 😏😴
Stayed in larger and nicer rooms than that for that price! The noise would have done my head in, as would the one socket issue. Bang on right, that room not fit for purpose and shouldn’t even be listed as a double room. Staff sound out of order too, perhaps they’re happy to prioritise certain guests than others, especially ones that couldn’t give a hoot about the other guests. Arenal, seems a bit of a dump?!
Great video as always paul,i am disappointed for you that you didn't enjoy your stay. Having watched all your reviews,i know you are not critical for the sake of it,you are more than fair. Where does it rank as the worst place you have stayed?
Nice video Paul. Very sorry you had such an awfull experience at this dreadful hotel. Compared with the other hotels you stayed at, this one was a rip off.
HI PAUL not great at all the customer service seem to be aimed the other EUROPEAN NATIONS they DONT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE BRITISH SHAMA ABOUT THE FOOD AND THE BREAKFAST WAS NOT A DOUBLE ROOM THE BED LOOKED SMALL SO SORRY YOU WANTED TO GET OUT OF THERE AND THAT BALCONY WAS HIGH UP AT THE TOP OF THE HOTEL THANKS PAUL HOPE YOU FIND SOMEWHERE BETTER FROM KEITH😀
Sounds to me like a hotel. Once I got your money they don't give a damn let you make as much doing system on and just ignore everybody but not bothered as long as they get the money
Omg what a joke that was like you said at frist looked nice and I did look decent but then how small and putting up with that just a joke least you never got go back stay safe take care
Paul aka Bilbo Baggins..i share your disappointment and frustration.. Your too diplomatic..I find a "Good Glasgow Kiss" would have sorted your noisy neighbours 🤬..Another hotel chopped off my list.🤬🤬
You were stiched up Paul it's like you walked onto the set of the new fawlty towers series in production that place is rank & if they won't welcome brits to their establishment they should state that beforehand & before they take yer money that's one of the worst yet meanwhile when you staying at the Don in Benidorm that should be different class altogether?
It is such a pity that you could not like a vast majority of Brits can not speak Spanish, and start to complain in Spanish or Catalan a language they will understand. One could then see their reaction.
Definitely not the best room or the staff the breakfast didn't look nice 😕 Definitely give that hotel a miss Paul now way I would have put up with the noise ❤❤
Thankyou for the video Doesnt sound very customer friendly hotel. Your wardrobe is extremely small for a double room. You couldn't swing a cat in that room, it's that small.. Not disabled friendly then & ignorant staff. Id complain online.
Its about economics and politics not holiday people. The EU and the biggest social changes since ww2. Just go to the canaries. Better weather and not spain mainland.
So one one hand they are trying to stop antisocial behaviour by disadvantaging their all inclusive customers, and on the other letting antisocial behaviour go unchallenged and in effect ignored. They are at odds with themselves. What chance does the customer have. Rolls eyes. By the way, I am “@soundscapeatmos”, I have changed account Paul.
I don't think antisocial behaviour is an urgent priority at all and whatever the plan is to curtail the issue what you experienced shows it up to be utter nonsense. It's great that your recording highlighted this x

Welcome onboard
We had a noise issue in port de pollenca, went on to six in the morning, we complained , along with a lot of other people, nothing was done about it !
We're was the noise issue in PP if you don't mind me asking
Another great vlog and a warning to future guests xx
Not great especially the lack of customer service,one i would definitely avoid
I have just subscribed to watch your videos. I really enjoyed watching this video. I don’t think I’ll be rushing to book this hotel anytime soon.

love your videos,thank you for all your effort!!
Who in their right mind would go there anyway? they dont even want us there
I been hearing that big world 🌎 out there I more less done with majorca spain 🇪🇸 Been about 6/8 times now thailand 🇹🇭 etc
what a difference with the other hotels-you're doing great work!
I would of opened door and asked them to keep the noise down , thanks for the warning , take care ❤
Hello again Paul. Good reportage from you again. You say it like it is and I like that. Well, some you win and some you don’t &

Thank you Paul noise like that late is shocking and the staff stiffs well terrible
Sorry that this was so disappointing for you Paul, but really appreciate your honest review.
Oh dear, not ideal, remember you can often recharge things from the USB port on the TV
First time watching really enjoyed listening and watching im wanting to go away absolutely terrified i dont have a clue where to start help !!!! Maybe watching more of your videos will help thankyou 😊
Welcome aboard!

Sounds awful Paul definitely one to avoid 😮
Yeah but you can always depend on the warmth of the wonderful locals ! 😂

Great video thank
I have just come back from Palma Nova stayed in the Globales hotel all inclusive 5 nights loved it
Will defo not be going to this hotel, not after hearing the lack of support regarding those clowns making all that anti-social noise, like it's not as if it was just one clap/bang, it was random and frequent, the staff sound totally hopeless, great video 👍
liked the fact of bath and bidet-room was depressing
I love Majorca but that balcony gave me vertigo. As for the room size is hardly larger than a broom cupboard.
Hi Paul great video despite what you had to put up with.

I like what this man is doing good on him
I would not let it go find out who owns the hotel and make a complaint
omg Paul try Gran Canaria playa del ingles amazing place you would love it me and carl have just got back the place is amazing try Rickys bar if u go xx
Oh dear. Not good. I stayed at the Whala Beach for my short trip and was very happy and impressed, Arenal in general I really liked and would definitely go back. How did you find the area in general?
Looked a bit like Beirut in some parts loads of unfinished building work and closed buildings
@@whoknowswhere I didn't explore the back streets so much tbf apart from when I went for tapas at night, but the sea front was beautiful. Great videos though mate, and very very informative 👍
It doesn’t help that the floors are tiled and so echoey but those students were a nuisance.
Agreed !
Are there any English people holidaying in Arinel any more its a very popular with the German and Scandinavian clients
I was there 5 days and only met 2
Did you have tea cups in your bedroom in the hotel to drink your tea because I did not see any cups or tea bags or kettle.
No nothing
oh no Paul. Awful especially not having a good nights sleep and the antisocial behaviour being ignored by the staff
What a knightmare sorry about the noise no way thats a double room.
Do you always travel on your own .enjoy watching you on your travels
90% of the time
Me too
Would love you to do a report on CalaBona
Im at Caribbean bay it does the job, here till Sunday would love to meet you mate
It's a recording I did. A couple of weeks ago im in Benidorm now always about a week to 10 days behind
I really hope number 5 hotel is an improvement on this. I felt your anger and frustration in this one towards the end. The two blue sea ones were much better value for money. Take care
Oh no ! What a nightmare, this is the worst, food didnt look much, the noise awful, very small room, again not for me !😢

Looks clean enough although small.. you can bring a USB plug 🔌 with you.
Don't think I'll be going to majorca any time soon
Hi paul that hotel was bad not much space in the room bathroom etc doors slamming screaming etc l would have gone mad.
Terrible Paul. That place sucks. Nightmare
Not great at all.we take an extension lead so we can just plug our appliances into it in case of lack of power points
Hi Paul 😊👍
Hmm, not for me Paul.
Simply outrageous. Just my personal view, but I've found a lot of the Arenal hotels underwhelming and just not up to the standard of Benidorm. Full of Germans with no respect for the British from staff.
Yes it definitely is a German/Dutch tourist place
Oooh yes had the misfortune if finding out ourselves last year. And they say Magaluf is bad. Never again.
@@carolnicoll9988 Sorry to hear it Carol. Never again indeed.
Haven't been to Arenal for about 40 years but even then it was known as a German biased resort
Arenal is my least favorite resort in Spain. I wouldn't go there again period.
Room a bit pokey. Rest of hotel looked fine. Food looked good. ❤😊Fisher Price plastic bacon😅😅😅😅😅love it. Booooo to the staff, terrible service.
When you said plastic bacon it reminded me of a Macmaster vlog where he prodded a fried egg and it folded in half, he put a boingg sound effect on!
Hotels usually have a quiet time between 11pm and 7am. Its terribly disrespectful. I do hope you emailed the hotel when yoiu got back
Oh dear Paul. You are bound to get a dud sometimes. At least viewers won't go there, unless they want to tap dance into the night. Haha! Lots of Hotels don't have tiles along corridors any more to cut out this clatter of shoes and echoing, but it is, as you say unacceptable. Hope the next one is better and you get some sleep. Great video. Hotel didn't seem to be welcoming at all. 😏😴
No I didn't feel welcomed at all
Sorry Paul, i did laugh x
Stayed in larger and nicer rooms than that for that price! The noise would have done my head in, as would the one socket issue. Bang on right, that room not fit for purpose and shouldn’t even be listed as a double room.

Yes It is a dump
Great video as always paul,i am disappointed for you that you didn't enjoy your stay. Having watched all your reviews,i know you are not critical for the sake of it,you are more than fair. Where does it rank as the worst place you have stayed?
Up with the bad ones
thanks 4 videos the crafty sods eh is someone playin table tennis 🏓 thats not 4 me staff dont sound like they want to b in the hotel work 😘
I'm staying away from the Spanish all inclusive beers watered down food rubbish take a few extra penny's for eating out and drinks
Hi Paul I won’t going there then hotel is rubbish 😢
Fisherprice plastic bacon 🥓 😂😂 NEVER a double room. Faulty Towers.
I buy holiday in this hotel I have one week to go and now Im scare a bit ehh 😢
Nice video Paul. Very sorry you had such an awfull experience at this dreadful hotel. Compared with the other hotels you stayed at, this one was a rip off.
HI PAUL not great at all the customer service seem to be aimed the other EUROPEAN NATIONS they DONT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE BRITISH SHAMA ABOUT THE FOOD AND THE BREAKFAST WAS NOT A DOUBLE ROOM THE BED LOOKED SMALL SO SORRY YOU WANTED TO GET OUT OF THERE AND THAT BALCONY WAS HIGH UP AT THE TOP OF THE HOTEL THANKS PAUL HOPE YOU FIND SOMEWHERE BETTER FROM KEITH😀
86 Pounds for two people is cheap include food and six drinks?
But the hotel and staff were crap
Have you tried the elm tree in Llandudno because I saw it on the RUclips channel and it looks amazing
No but may look at it
Won't be going there Paul lol
that price in blackpool for 1 night at the moment for 2 BB
Yes I can believe that, The UK seems to be pricing itself out at the moment
Sounds to me like a hotel. Once I got your money they don't give a damn let you make as much doing system on and just ignore everybody but not bothered as long as they get the money
Omg what a joke that was like you said at frist looked nice and I did look decent but then how small and putting up with that just a joke least you never got go back stay safe take care
Paul aka Bilbo Baggins..i share your disappointment and frustration.. Your too diplomatic..I find a "Good Glasgow Kiss" would have sorted your noisy neighbours 🤬..Another hotel chopped off my list.🤬🤬
It was the Briys who ruined it then? What a surprise.
You were stiched up Paul it's like you walked onto the set of the new fawlty towers series in production that place is rank & if they won't welcome brits to their establishment they should state that beforehand & before they take yer money that's one of the worst yet meanwhile when you staying at the Don in Benidorm that should be different class altogether?
The Hotel was once named the TAJMAHAL except the AJMAH just dropped off?
wouldn't pay 40 euros 😡
It is such a pity that you could not like a vast majority of Brits can not speak Spanish, and start to complain in Spanish or Catalan a language they will understand. One could then see their reaction.
Definitely not the best room or the staff the breakfast didn't look nice 😕 Definitely give that hotel a miss Paul now way I would have put up with the noise ❤❤
The rooms look very basic and the breakfast looks basic , view wasn’t much to look at x
I can tell by your voice that you are not happy about this hotel 😮
Thankyou for the video
Doesnt sound very customer friendly hotel. Your wardrobe is extremely small for a double room. You couldn't swing a cat in that room, it's that small..
Not disabled friendly then & ignorant staff. Id complain online.
Strange that you start to complain non-speaking English when they speak perfectly when you go to pay for the bill
True
I really wish they would stop putting tv's on desks, accident just waiting to happen!
Its about economics and politics not holiday people. The EU and the biggest social changes since ww2. Just go to the canaries. Better weather and not spain mainland.
Had laugh at hobbits.terrible hotel
So one one hand they are trying to stop antisocial behaviour by disadvantaging their all inclusive customers, and on the other letting antisocial behaviour go unchallenged and in effect ignored.

Very true
AVOID,
