Best breakfast buffet I have ever seen. The reason I did not check out early. Nice size rooms but safe had lock removed. Staff are helpful and speak English but some have limited tolerance to touring Americans. Could be due to off season alignment. I might recommend nearby Alicante instead.

It's a nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The tv had English channels. It was close to a main road which you could hear from the balcony though not in the room. The hotel is a little out of town but there is a bus stop outside. It was a short walk straight down to the beach where there were some great cafes and restaurants

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.

Great Hotel but Cold bacon and eggs
The hotel has great staff and it’s a very well run hotel. The rooms are comfortable and very clean . I would say my only criticism would be the breakfast eggs and bacon and beans were all cold . The breakfast looks great and there is everything you could want .

A small hotel, with a lovely team of people taking care of you. The food on the buffet was not very hot, but tasty nonetheless.
The pool area was clean and tidy, and the bar and terrace, while a little sparsely furnished, were comfortable.
The town was a twenty minute walk away, with a variety of restaurants and bars, but a very pleasant walk back, along the coast.

Not close to amenities
Lovely hotel, bit on the old fashioned style but perfectly clean and tidy, lovely big bedrooms and bathrooms, just missing a mirror in the bedroom to sit and do hair and make-up, bit noisy in the balcony due to main road noise at one side of the hotel! Unfortunately although the food was ok it was all served on the colder side of cool, need to micro all food if you like it hot and it dosent vary very much but very tasty and edible. Please be aware that there is nothing much to too out and about the hotel as its very much on the outskirts of town and a good 20 mins walk to bars restaurants ect

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
