Has anyone been to Rio Park Hotel, Benidorm in middle two weeks of August?

Question

We did and witnesssed two security guards hitting teenage boys, the first was hit across the face, the 2nd was hit with a batton!!!!!

Answer 1

Really?!  that's shocking!  What were they doing though to get the slap?

I stayed there twice in about 1991 and 1993.

I was 11 and 13 when I went.

Answer 2

Thats normal for here....security guards seem to be unregulated here, violence is rife, only last week 12 local police,the mayor, and two councillors were all arrested and taken before a court in one Costa Blanca town as they are all accused of abuse to an Algerian guy and for covering up his injuries sustained when he was beaten by the police

Answer 3

i would never go to benidorm its cheap and nasty

Answer 4

Well they probably deserved it.

If the Police were a bit more like that in the UK, then we wouldn't have gangs of youths intimidating women, or happy slapping people.

Answer 5

Hi i wouldnt worry to much about what you saw,its quite normal for the security guards to do this,they class the british as trouble so dont worry.I said there in the rio park last yr in august,it was a great hot holiday,we enjoyed ourselves alot.You off there then ?
