Overview

• On June 10, a British guest gave Port Fiesta Park in Benidorm a one-star TripAdvisor review, citing “loud and rude” Spanish guests, cold food and entertainment offered only in Spanish.
• Port Fiesta Park issued an apology, noting its diverse international clientele and promising to improve services for visitors of all nationalities.
• Comparable complaints date back to 2017 when pensioner Freda Jackson accused another Benidorm hotel of prioritizing Spanish guests and offering no English-language shows.
• In Corfu, Susan Edwards described her Lido Corfu Sun Hotel stay as a “nightmare” because traditional English dishes and familiar drink options were unavailable.
• Despite these critiques, British tourists remain Benidorm’s second-largest visitor group, and local economies depend heavily on tourism even as Spain experiences occasional protests over visitor numbers.
