Staff at the Rio Park Hotel, many of them British expats themselves, are the reason people like Roger and Sue keep returning to the sunny resort.
Welcoming and friendly, the staff build a rapport with the guests, and develop personal relationships when they see them year upon year.
They “like to think of the guests as extended family”, and therefore see Roger and Sue as “part of the furniture”.
The British couple explained what makes Benidorm so special to them, with Roger stating: “We’re two different people at home.”
He even joked that while his wife shouts at him at home, she doesn’t shout at him in Benidorm, suggesting that the warm climate, beautiful beaches and flowing drinks is enough to make people forget about their worries and stresses from home.
