We stayed at this hotel at the end of October. We were there for the start of the Volvo Ocean Race. We were hardly in the hotel except to sleep. I agree with the other reviews about the rooms being very dated and needing major upgrades. The views however were spectacular, and the locations was about as good as I... More

I too was pleasantly surprised by this hotel as I read some reviews a couple of days before I left and was a bit concerned. The rooms do need a good refurb as they are tired and dated. However we had a seperate sitting room and bedroom with great views of the beach and the castle. It is situated about... More

Having booked this hotel whilst at the Spain v Scotland match, and read some of the earlier reviews, I was expecting a noisy experience in the heart of Alicante, right next to the beach. I was therefore delighted to find a room on the 21st floor with lovely views over the sea, and well away from the noise on the... More

Ignorance concerning violence against women in a hotel is not tolerable. After having announced at around 3 am to the reception that a women in the neighbor room is most likely being beaten up, the receptionist did not take more action but calling to the room - despite the direct suggestion to call the police.

The overall experience was very... More

Stayed here for two nights whislt on a course - recommended by organisers otherwise would have chosen elsewhere. The rooms were very dated and massively in need of a major refurbishment. It was a bed for two nights and the breakfast was acceptable, by Spanish standards, but would not rush to stay here again. More

I am torn when writing this, because my family and I have been staying at this very well-located hotel with magnificent views and a lovely staff practically since it opened. You are steps from the beach, marina, old town sights, restaurants, shopping and the tram service that takes you along the coast. I always stay on the top floors -... More

Booked a 3 night stay in this hotel, and refused to stay! Rooms were shabby, smelly and dirty, furniture was worn and dirty, rubbish still in the room from previous guests, soft furnishings dirty! We asked for a full refund and we were given it immediately with no arguement clearly not the first to walk out, would never go back.... More

This was our 2nd visit to this hotel and unlike some other reviewers we love the comfortable decor and ambience of this hotel, very Mad Men esque.As our stay was during Foguearas we opted for a room on the 22nd floor.This was quiet and had spectacular views.The MAS card gave us a 2 for 1 deal on breakfast which was...
