I must be a snob. It's just one place I really have no intention of going to.

I'll join you in being a snob, I'd rather avoid places packed out with Brits abroad

Probably why we mainly go to the USA backwaters. Took us 2 weeks before we heard a English accent.I'll join you in being a snob, I'd rather avoid places packed out with Brits abroad

As much as I'm trying, I can't shift that image.
Anyhoo, if I go on holiday, its not to a western world place where they speak English, just with another accent. I'm off to Africa or the Far East where I'm well outside my comfort zone.

There's plenty of nice places In Spain, Italy etc you can go and not meet any Brits also. It's bizarre that everyone flocks to the same old places still even though independent travel is so easy

That was exactly the same with me. Never fancied it and fully expected my 50th to be the one and only visit but it has something for everyone and the entertainment/music/rock bars are excellent. Not to mention tapas ally. It's now become an annual trip for us (blokes). Although we try to avoid all the drunken young dicks and the "hilarious" fat bald bloke wearing trilbies.
I'd never get my Mrs to go though. Probably a good job as she wouldn't let me got back if she saw the place

Was playing golf a little inland from there a couple of weeks ago. Viewing the tower blocks from not that far away. Never even thought about entering the place.

Went once but wouldn’t go again, heard too many horror stories for me to want to go back when there’s plenty of other choices.

I wouldn't go on holiday with the missus or family. That said I think I could handle a weekend with the lads. 2 nights at best. I'm pretty much a one night wonder these days lol
You go to Benidorm knowing exactly what it's like. I don't understand when you read that families have gone and moan about it. It's a lash up...basically a night out in Newcastle with the sun lol.
