Benidorm crime
Warning to others webbers. We have recently ( yesterday) returned from a two week holiday in Benidorm. My wife was mugged and lost all her necklaces, this was in the grounds of the hotel. After talking to other visitors many more people have also been robbed. Picket pocketed, mobile phones nicked. On Friday night there was a drive-by shooting in the centre of Benidorm.
Anyone going to Benidorm must have the right insurance and be on their guard at all times. I accept that this can happen anywhere in the world but by the Spanish own admission it is rife in benidorm. |

Crime increases when people cannot afford to eat.

Re: Benidorm crime
Not good at all that, must admit its first time I've heard of this happening within Hotel grounds, which hotel was it? Certain areas in Benidorm have been known as problem areas for this type of Street crime for awhile now. I wouldn't say its rife but it does go on & a lot are professional gangs from East European countries.

On our yearly lads n dads trip to Benidorm two years ago one of our lot decided to harangue the con men, it was getting very nasty I counted 8 potential back-up thugs in the crowd. Fortunately our man (now known as Uncle dhead) only got a drop kick out of stage left, winded and bruised him but a lesson learned. Quietened him down but could have been much worse. They definately had knives and knuckledusters Police just stood and watched. Last year one of our lads got his wallet lifted in or around Cafe Benidorm on the first night with all his money and credit cards. Strewth!!! who goes out with all your stuff on a bender where ever you happen to be. :( Still taking names for this years adventure ;) |
Re: Benidorm crime
we stayed at levante beach apartments also, and the hill at the side of the entrance was the place a couple of muggings whilst we was there, just above the two english bars on each corner,

Re: Benidorm crime
I was in Tenerife - Las Americas/Torviscas area - in January. It felt very safe, no problems at all (of course I am a 6ft 2, 16 stone skinhead!). The flights cost a bit more but it's quite cheap to stay there. I would recommend it over Benidorm any day.

Re: Benidorm crime
as from our last holiday in benidorm, and all the thefts, we wont be going to benidorm again, it makes you feel unsafe, and we dont need that, tenerifes ok tried a few different places around, but do like the shorter flights, we will find some where else, (safe) 5foot six inch tall grey what bit ive got, ha,ha
