Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Check in was very straightforward and smooth. Arrived from airport quite late at night, but gentleman behind the counter was up to speed with everything, payment had been made in full, room key was given out, and Bobs your'e granny.
The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is less than 10 minutes from the airport which is why we booked it. The unfortunate thing for us was that the hotel shuttle wasn't running the morning that we required it so the taxi cost us 18 euros. The rooms are fine but we found the beds a little uncomfortable and the pillows not of good quality at all. The mini bar is a nice idea. The shower is very good but within the main bedroom without privacy.... fine if travelling with a partner. The separate toilet is OK with an opaque glass door. There is a nice bar area and restaurant in the hotel offering a menu del dia, snacks and other meals. We didn't use the spa as only there for one night prior to flying. We went along the road to eat. There are tapas bars, a great Turkish restaurant, ice cream parlour, bars and a well stocked supermarket within 5 minutes walk of the hotel. For what we needed...a hotel near the airport..... this was OK.
One night stopover close to the airport with a 12noon checkout. Lovely place in pristine condition and friendly attentive staff . Good food at the snack bar. Great value for money.
If I were to nit-pick…….no drink making facility in the room which pushes you towards the mini bar and the very comfortable beds spoilt by the mattress protector which seemed to have been made from crisp packets.
Great hotel though, would recommend.
Use this hotel many times, always happy with everything, the lady in the restaurant is always so happy, friendly and helpful, she always has a laugh and joke with us, she remembers us because of my husband’s tattoos. Its nice to see her each visit.
Great hotel only 10 minute drive from the airport and 20 minutes from Alicante. All you need in the room which are pretty big and fairly new. Would stay again.
The staff were wonderful from check in to check out. The servers in both the café and the restaurant were helpful and efficient. The food was sensational. My only regret is i wish there had been a coffee machone in the room because we had to leave before the Café opened. But i would always choose this hotel if Im in the area.
Very friendly Staff, rooms cleaned daily. Nice Spa with pool, steamroom and sauna.
Lovely garden and restaurant to relax, and very convenient transport to Airport.
I would recommend this Hotel for future reservations.
The area around the hotel is desolate and there is limited access to dining, shopping, sights, etc. You must take a taxi or public transportation to get to anything. This was not clear on the website.
Ok for a 1 night stay as very close to airport wouldnt like to stay fir longer they said they upgraded us from deluxe to superior room wouldn't like to see deluxe as superior was very basic pool is very small and indoor and on -1 floor so very stifling couldnt use a a local OAP group was already there and was full ate in the attached restaraunt fir dinner and it was excellent although it didnt open fir food until 8pm trying to get a drink before this we had to ask reception staff to ring fir them to serve us would stay again as very convenient for airport that is the only reason
