'I ditched UK for Benidorm – people slam it but it's amazing for key reason'
Many Brits dream of swapping the UK's dreary weather for sunnier climates.
After all, the grey skies and mounting bills can become tiresome after a while. This is why it's no surprise that many people decide to take the plunge.
One man who did just that is Frank, known as frankthestagman on TikTok. The bar owner, who now resides in Benidorm, regularly shares updates from the party hotspot where he organises stag and hen parties.
Despite some labelling the destination as a budget-friendly place for fun in the sun, Frank believes it has much more to offer. In a candid video, he revealed why he enjoys living there.
While it may seem an unusual choice to some, he insists the location offers plenty to expats. Contrary to popular perceptions of Benidorm, Frank paints a completely different picture of life at the Spanish resort, reminding us that everyone's experiences are unique.

Frank said: "Is Benidorm the best place in the world? Well, who knows, because everyone's got a different idea of what the best place in the world is, but what I do know is this is where I live.
"I live here, I can do this every single day of the week. Every day of the week I can do this, every night of the week I can do this. I can walk along these beaches, I can have fun in all these brilliant bars.
"Not just my own bar, I go to other people's as well. I support other people, but I can do this every single day of the week. Look at this, look at the beach - isn't it beautiful?"
When he turns the camera around to show people what he sees, you can see the sun is shining and the area is bustling. He said he understands why people love visiting as, whatever people think of the area, it offers an "escape".
Since being shared, the video has been viewed numerous times, with viewers happy to share their thoughts on Benidorm under Frank's posts.
One sarcastically commented: "Omg. The best place in the world." Another said: "Yes it is for a two hour flight." A third chimed in with: "Priceless." However, a fourth disagreed, stating: "Nah, Thailand."
Another viewer compared Benidorm to "Blackpool in the sun", while others admired the sunny weather during the festive season. Holiday preferences certainly differ, but the excitement is palpable among those looking forward to their trips.
One eager holidaymaker shared: "Can't wait. 29th for me and hubby - weather looks fab!"
