We stayed here for 4 nights in the Executive Level in a junior suite. I have to admit that I loved the Executive Level, you have an open bar with nibbles. You really make up the extra money here. You also have a continental breakfast here included. The room was massive and was very clean, views were excellent. The staff were very pleasant, especially in the executive level where you can check in and out hassle free.

The breakfasts were average, but we did not have dinner here. The hotel is right between the Marina and the beach and is a great location.

The one MAJOR downfall is on a Saturday Night. The noise from the Nightclub across the road is extremely loud, and I mean extreme. We were at the the top of the hotel and a nice distance away from the nightclub and we were blown away, even with windows and doors closed fully. The hotel would have got 4* if we were warned about this or if they had soundproof windows. This went on until about 6am. Really disappointing. The city itself was not very nice. It was dirty and just not very hospitable.

Stayed here for a few days for work. When I walked in I was very impressed with the lobby and had high hopes but this expense and good taste does not translate to the rooms that are perfectly serviceable but no more than that. The staff were a little bit less helpful than I would like but not terrible. Once you go away from the front desk staff, English is limited and I did struggle when it came to calling room service etc.

Room service offers reasonable food but really I suppose it is the location that is the selling point, with the marina on one side and the sea on the other. An OK hotel but not great despite the prefect location.

The Melia Alicante has prime position on Alicante's waterfront. We stayed 4 days in a room overlooking the beach (east side),the other side overlooks the marina. We walked into the hotel expecting a room of our choice but the hotel was pretty full, however the head receptionist (Christina) was extremely helpful and went the extra mile to accomodate us. The breakfast at this hotel is outstanding for it's choice and quality and was the best of any of the 5 four star hotels we'd stayed at during our 2 week self drive tour of SE Spain. The rooms were large, clean and with English channels on the tv. The only down side was the cost of public parking next to the hotel at 19 euros a night. However we parked in the town in an underground car park 15 mins walk away at half that cost . Overall a quality hotel, great postion which we'd definately stay at again! Tip: it's slightly cheaper to book on the hotel's website than just walk in.

I stayed at the Melia Alicante with my mum for a three night break 23-26th March. We had a fab time, the breakfast was amazing, I have stayed in a lot of 4* and 5* hotels and it was without doubt the best breakfast I've eaten in a hotel. We had a room on the marina side of the hotel and were not bothered by noise from nightclubs or drilling. Granted, there is a lot of building work going on at the moment all around the city as they appear to be doing quite a lot of regeneration work but this did not spoil our enjoyment of the holiday.
The beds were comfortable, rooms clean, lots of hanging space, room service reasonably priced and very quick. All the staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough for you.
The only downside as mentioned below was the lack of air conditioning but we only spent nights in the room and just kept the door ajar which was fine.
I would highly recommend this hotel, definitely a four star with a great location and good value for money. We liked it so much I'm going back with my husband and friends in October.
