Sol Pelicanos Ocas, Benidorm

Blackpool with sun. That's what they say about Benidorm, right?

Quite honestly, they're not wrong. But I bloomin' love it. And being big fans of the TV show, we opted for the very hotel it was filmed in - Sol Pelicanos Ocas.

Dreaming of a life in Tenerife #BlogYourWayToSpain

I was a bit of a late starter when it came to sunshine holidays. My parents never had passports, and so caravan parks were where we spents our weeks off from school (and they were awesome by the way!). Finally, at the age of 18, I had my first holiday abroad. And my oh my, that was the spark that started my slight obsession with sunny holidays.

Being in a different country was so new and exciting that I vowed to visit a new destination every time we booked a holiday. That plan worked for a while, until something happened that I didn't anticipate - a resort stole a little piece of my heart.

Preparing for Summer Holiday Style with Aldo (plus a chance to win £500!)

I am a self-confessed holiday addict. And I'm proud of it. We all deserve to take some time off to relax in our perfect holiday setting and calm our minds. For me, a sunshine holiday is favourite, (though I do love a city break too!) and with Benidorm, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Tenerife coming up for me in 2016, I have plenty to look forward to. So when I saw that Aldo were running a competition to win £500 to spend with them, I jumped at the chance and browsed their site to pick out some of my summer favourites. 🌞 (Don't worry, I'll let you know how to enter too!)
