== Plot ==
An ensemble cast of British holidaymakers stay at an all-inclusive hotel named the Solana in Benidorm. As people say, those who come to Benidorm "can never stay away" or "never come back". Some higher-class people who come to the Solana are not satisfied with its facilities or the holidaymakers who go there, though others enjoy themselves, mostly due to the fact that it is all-inclusive.
== Main cast ==
Hotel barman Mateo Castellanos and elderly swinger Jacqueline Stewart (portrayed by Jake Canuso and Janine Duvitski) are the only characters who appear in every series on the show. Many different families, couples and groups arrive and leave the resort as each series takes place the following year.
