Stayed for 3 nights on the way from our holiday home to Alicante airport. Maria on recepion was welcoming and very helpful. The girl who ran the cafe/bar was also very attentive. I'm sorry, I didn't get her name. The whole hotel was extremely clean. I would definitely stay again.

Quiet hotel in mid-September with friendly and helpful staff. It is not far from the beach and next to Pola Park (a small children's theme park). There are a number of restaurants in the area. We stayed half board, unfortunately the food wasn't kept hot enough after cooking (the warmers need to be turned up and the heat lamps in the top weren't giving off much heat) and had little variety, so after a few days it became boring. The breakfast has hot and cold options, but the hot breakfast was only lukewarm and had to be microwaved to be hot enough to eat (not ideal for fried eggs). They also ran out of bread and butter so toast became unavailable on one day. There is plenty of free parking on the street outside or you can park in the hotel car park which incurs a daily charge of 8 Euros at the time of our stay. The swimming pool is of a medium size and clean but there are not many sun beds (around 12), there is also a children's pool that is separated from the main pool. The room was of a nice size with a large bathroom (we were given a family room although there was only two of us). There is a large bar area with a nice veranda. The bar is staffed by the reception/dining room people so we had to wait for someone to come at times, but it wasn't an issue. We would stay there again in the future but would only choose bed and breakfast.

Very quiet !!!

The hotel was extremely clean and well kept. BUT... it was miles from anywhere in the middle of a residential estate It was 10 mins to beach which was a nice beach with a few bars and restaurants 30 mins to the bus station, a very boring walk and some parts not suitable for anyone with a mobility scooter 25 mins to nearest shop 35 mins to harbour area The food was very nice and a good selection considering the few people in this hotel. However it was always luke warm on the display. I asked for it to be checked an saw that the hot display was showing 45 degrees, food should be displayed at a minimum of 63 degrees. I explained that this was dangerous and was told that it was ok for Spain!!!! Bacteria multiplies at the same rate regardless of country. The second time I told the waitress that the pasta was cold on the hot display she shouted at me in Spanish and kept pointing to the microwave I advise all travelers to use the microwave to heat their food to the correct temperature I would not consider staying there again
