Alicante Spa Hotels

The room is very spacious, the bedroom and bathroom are separated, the reception staff is very nice and even delivered the luggage to the room.

We stayed 2 nights in the hotel and had a very pleasant stay. The rooms were a good size and had a fridge, tea kettle and the usual bathroom amenities. They were clean and quiet. The staff at the hotel were pleasant and helpful. We had dinner there one evening and it was quite good. The buffet breakfast was fine and had a good variety of food. The hotel is not near the area where much of the restaurants, shops and beaches are so we needed to take taxis but it wasn’t too expensive to get there. We did use the parking garage. I have to say that the garages in hotels in Europe are challenging at times. We were driving an SUV and there are some tight spaces to get around. But the parking wasn’t too expensive and there were always spaces available.

We stayed the last three nights at this hotel. We stayed exactly 10 years ago in a Level Suite with sea and beach views. Beware that on this side are some suites with really small balconies. We did stay in one of them. This time we chose the marina view. All suites on this side have huge balconies. Also, you will get stunning sunsets. However, during the daytime, it can be too hot to sit on the balcony. The marina side is much sunnier. Our suite on the 4th floor has been recently renovated because it had modern decor. There were two bathrooms: one with a shower and one with a tub. This 5-floor hotel is big with over 100 rooms per floor. The breakfast was quite crowded at 10:00. On the last morning, we went at 8:00 and it was pleasantly calm. The food selection is very wide. Our stay had a good value for the paid 153 euros per night (plus a total of 8.000 Melia points). This rate was flexible and included breakfast.

Hotel located near the Luceros square, Trading house El corte igles and see promenade. Reception staff is very helpful and friendly. Only the sauna and gym area is narrow and uncomfortable. Breakfast is normally, but the hot dishes was late being refreshed😞 We will be back. Sure

Excellent room on the 4th floor, comfy bed and pillows. Bath with shower over it. Clean, neat and tidy. Quiet - not disturbed by any noise from neighbouring rooms. TV in room with the usual selection of radio and tv stations - only 1 English language news station (Bloomberg) it would have been nice to have an alternative such as BBC World or CNN. Excellent and plentiful buffet breakfast. Room cleaning staff were lovely as were the breakfast room staff and the reception team too. Ironing board and iron available on request. The hotel is centrally situated within easy strolling distance of the beach, promenade, Santa Barbara Castle, San Fernando Castle, shops, bars and restaurants. A walkable distance to the bus station and railway station - though I wouldn't choose to undertake either walk with lots of luggage. Travelled mid September and would stay here again.

My family and I stayed here for 2 nights. The reception staff were really friendly and allowed us to check in early, we stayed in building number 5, with a view of one of there many pools on site. The room was okay, they are so spacious ideal for a family or a group of friends, the rooms are just very outdated, the place could really do with some refurbishing and improvements, the rooms look like they were built in 1995 and they have not been updated sense, they are very outdated. I can only give the cleanliness a 3/5 there was a lot of dust in our room, and our balcony was covered in a lot of debris from the trees, which sounds silly but it could have been easily cleaned up before we checked into apartment. it was good value for money so you are getting what you paid for I guess, but it could be so much more if they just took better care of the property. the pools are nice, and the bar was okay, food was not amazing and service was slow. it takes about 10-15mins to get into Alicante city by taxi, there is no other way to get in unless you drive yourself. overall we did not have a bad experience here, it just was not our cup of tea, would not return.

The hotel is next to the castle, about 15 minutes walk from the city, the location is OK, the breakfast is rich, the facilities in the room are a bit old, and the overall view is OK.

I booked a triple room (2 adults and on Kid of 11). I got the confirmation also, but on checkin I was told this was not right and I only had booked a double room. Afte a small discussion I got a room with 3 single Beds as bookes ”our very last one”!! Very strange

LOCATION 4/5 If you want a cheap and cheerful hotel to rest your head and a base to explore, then this will be the place for you. I wouldn't want to stay here for a week but its ok for a few nights. Located a 5 minute walk from the beach, its in a good location with plenty of restaurants down at the beach and nearby. This is not in the hustle and bustle of the city centre and so if you would rather be more central then you could stay here and get a bus/tram into the centre. Its about 1.5 hours to walk from here to the castle near to the city centre or 20 mins by car. FACILITIES 3/5 The facilities at the hotel are pretty basic. There is one outdoor pool (not heated) with sun loungers, on site restaurant, gym and sauna, the sauna was not in use when we stayed and the gym is pretty basic. There is however plenty of gyms to use along the beach front if you want to get some exercise, along with beach volleyball, football and other activities to keep you active if that's what you like. The pool as stated is not heated so pretty cold but that can be welcoming in high temperatures but not so good for an early morning dip. We visited in September so out of season and there were plenty of free sunbeds, however I can imagine in summer season you may struggle to get one. I also found that the pool was over run by children, even when visited out of season, so if you don't like too many children I would avoid this hotel as it is very family friendly. ROOM 3/5 The room was adequate with a comfy bed, all be it the beds were just pushed together and moved about a lot and i ended up falling down a gap in the middle of them. Aircon was good as was the shower, whihc was hot and powerful. Clothes line option in bathroom to hang your wets and a standard low powered hair dryer provided. No tea and coffee facilities in the rooms, but there was a small fridge to store your bottled water. You are not allowed to consume food and drink on site note bought there so not sure what else they expect you to store in the fridge. Electronic safe in wardrobe was easy to use and free. The windows could be opened and in addition to air con is a ceiling fan if you are not a fan or air con. STAFF 4/5 The staff spoke excellent English and were very helpful and welcoming. No issues at reception or in the restaurant. We asked several questions during our stay and they were very accommodating in helping us. FOOD 3/5 The breakfast buffet is standard for Europe with some hot options and continental breakfast, cereals, fruit etc. The quality of food is ok and like I said at the beginning this is a cheap and cheerful hotel, you pay for what you get so don't expect amazing food quality. There is no allergen information so this can make things difficult if you have an allergen and you may have to ask staff to assist you with what you can and cannot eat. Overall food quality was adequate. OVERALL 3/5 Overall this was a good hotel and suited our needs for a few nights. Fre

We have visited the hotel twice, and sorry to say - we will never come back. The hotel has some loyalty clubs – which we joined at our previous stay. At that time this was new to everybody, and the hotel had a hard time explaining the rules. Now, 18 months later, they still don’t know how this should work. This time, after complaining several times, we were granted 5% of our stay as promised as “points to be spend at the hotel”. But most of the staff don’t know how it works: We were rejected twice in the bar when trying to use our points, and finally we had to use it in the Spa instead, which was indeed not part of our plans. Even in the Spa, after making an appointment through the reception, we were rejected by the first employee we met. But we ended up being allowed to use our points. During all this, we have tried to get in touch with management. But management in this hotel is invisible, they don’t seem to care about their guests at all. Since our last visit, the hotel has closed their fitness room, the restaurant is (permanently?) closed, the outdoor swimming pool is occupied by ducks – and nobody cares about removing duck droppings in the water. You cannot book any bill from the bar or Spa to your room – nevertheless they demand a credit card upon check in. Should we say something positive – if you play golf, it is close to the golf course, and the employees in the undermanned reception do their best.
