A Night to Remember at Benidorm Palace

When planning our family trip to Benidorm, I knew I wanted to include an experience that would captivate both the kids and myself. The Benidorm Palace was highly recommended, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that offer a blend of entertainment and cultural enrichment, and this seemed like the perfect fit.

Upon arrival, the grandeur of the Benidorm Palace was immediately apparent. The venue itself is a spectacle, with its state-of-the-art 8K resolution displays and a stage that promises a visual feast. The kids were wide-eyed with excitement, and I could tell this was going to be a memorable evening.

A Feast for the Senses

We opted for the €55 experience, which included a four-course meal alongside the show. As a mom, I’m always concerned about dietary needs, and I was pleased to find that the menu was accommodating. One of my children is Coeliac, and the staff went out of their way to provide gluten-free options, including bread and a modified dessert. This attention to detail made the evening stress-free and enjoyable for all of us.

The meal began with a fresh salad, followed by a comforting soup. The main course was a showstopper—a massive pork steak with a rich mushroom sauce. It was so large that even my teenage son, who usually has a bottomless appetite, was impressed. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, adding to the overall experience.

Captivating Performances

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the cabaret show, Aire. The international cast of performers delivered a dazzling performance that kept us all on the edge of our seats. The choreography, costumes, and special effects were nothing short of spectacular. My youngest was particularly fascinated by the vibrant costumes and the energetic dance routines.

While the show was mesmerizing, I did notice the photo memento experience could use a modern touch. Photos were taken upon arrival and at our table, which was a nice touch, but many guests left their printed photos behind. Perhaps offering digital previews on tablets could be a more sustainable option, allowing guests to choose which photos to purchase.

Overall, the Benidorm Palace exceeded our expectations. It was a night filled with laughter, awe, and delicious food—a perfect family outing that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Benidorm. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, this is an experience that shouldn’t be missed.
