We just returned from a great week here. We paid £44 per night total for a family room (4 beds) including breakfast which is all-you-can-eat buffet - continental, cooked, cereals the lot. The hotel is clean, the staff were helpful, the outdoor pool great (includes a small pool for young children/non-swimmers). The room was plenty big enough for the four of us, with a good size bathroom and balcony.

The hotel itself is about 10 minutes walk from a range of restaurants and the main bus station and 15-20 minutes to the centre of town, port and beaches, although the hotel does run an occasional free minibus service to the harbour in Santa Pola. To walk to town you have to cross the main road, but apart from the odd busy occasion, this was easy. We didn't find the distance from town a chore at all, although obviously if you have a car you have more freedom. There is also a supermarket about 400 yards away for buying everyday necessities like bottled water, aftersun etc.

All in all, we can't fault this hotel - the staff were great, it was clean and great value. We didn't try the spa facilities or the Irish pub - spent too much time on the beach/in the pool!
