Best Hotels in Gran Alacant

I'm trying to work out the target customers for this hotel due to its location. It's out of the town (Santa Pola), situated next to the N-332 (busy north-south coast road), and on the edge of a retail park. As a result it has no room for facilities (outdoor pool, tennis courts, etc.) although it's new so everything is up to date. Rooms have a large balcony which I guess would be nice in summer. That's about it. Even the bar is a solitary tap in the hotel lobby - no separate area. Breakfast was standard but no complaints. The retail park has various eating and drinking places - KFC, Burger King, other burger places, various bars - but I didn't find a real Spanish one. Quite a lot were closed as it was out of season. For those familiar with the UK I thought it was very like a Premier Inn or Travelodge and a 4* rating is misleading. I'm thinking it's really an airport hotel so not for a long stay.

This hotel is clean and rooms are relatively comfortable but the hotel has no comfortable bar area its more like cafeteria which very few people use so no atmosphere whatsoever the restaurant is the same. Food is okay but not a lot of choice and mostly cold. The area around the hotel is a huge urbanisation and not a pretty one either and at least when we were there to get anything decent to eat in the evening you had to walk up to the marina which took us about 35-40 minutes there is a couple of shops about a 10 minute walk from the hotel but not the easiest to find. The beach is about a 10 minute walk straight down the road but be warned if you like a sunbed you won't find any on this beach we had to go and buy chairs and a ,parasol and cart them up and down. All in all we were dissapointed and definitely wouldn't go back or recommend it.

Close to the airport, travel is very convenient, the front desk girl is very nice, breakfast is very rich. The room is quite big, the infrastructure is available, and the bar on the first floor can have hot water.

There’s a clean and smart reception area, but the reception staff weren’t very welcoming, we arrived tired and late after a delayed flight and a smile and nice greeting would have made us feel more welcome. The rooms are very spacious with a big bed which we found very comfortable. However the room lacks any facilities whatsoever and way below what we expect for a 4 star hotel. We were shocked on waking the first morning to find there are no tea and coffee facilities?! Also no iron or ironing board. Plus only one arm chair was provided even though there is ample space, so we both couldn’t sit down and relax in the room. The noise from other rooms and the street on the Friday night was horrendous, even on the 5th floor. We didn’t sleep at all. We suspect this is because weekends are much busier, the breakfast room on the Saturday morning was absolutely packed. The breakfast itself was very good for 9 euros we think it’s worth it, they offer a good selection of gluten free items (I have an allergy). But as I mention above, Saturday morning breakfast wasn’t enjoyable due to how busy it was. In fact the waitress ushered us off the table as soon as we finished our last bite (I still had some tea left to drink!) as she said there was a queue to get in. In summary, a mixed stay but too many negatives and we wouldn’t stay again.

It's a B&B so we should know what to expect. B&B Elche doesn't have the world's best location (to say the least) but, as for facilities, it takes some beating. Would I recommend it? If you're on a budget but want ALL the basics, you can't go wrong. Great breakfast too. Thumbs-up from me.

This boutique hotel is simply lovely. We did not hear a sound inside as walls so thick and no thin, creaky floorboards. We were woken one morning by the street cleaning van….but that was the council and nothing to do with hotel and obviously out of their control. The staff encountered 10/10* The location 10/10* right by everything! The breakfast 10/10* something for everyone! Fantastic rooftop with lovely views of Santa Barbara castle/fort ….we took our own wine up as not manned during the week only weekend. The airport C6 bus drops you off & picks you up for back to airport approx 3/5 minutes walk to/from hotel. The staff are so friendly, polite & helpful….best I’ve ever encountered as they were also consistent in their manner. Would also add, hotel is spotless and cleaned daily if you want your room to be….we declined that.

We regularly travel to Alicante on our way to our holiday home in Almeria and thought that on this occasion we would break up the joirney with a few days in Alicante. We had a 2 night stay at Melia Hotel Alicante from 28th to 30th January which was a Christmas present from our sons. We were booked on to The Level which had been recommended to us as it is for adults only and as we had had a very stressful time in the past few months, we were very much looking forward to the peace and relaxation. However, when we arrived at the hotel we were told that The Level was actually closed because there was work being carried out. We were told we were still in a room on The Level and had in fact been upgraded to a better room but all the other amenities were closed, ie the drinks and snacks that are available all day and the breakfast room which is separate from the main hotel and therefore a lot quieter. We were told that we could still get the snacks and drinks from the bar in the hotel foyer and were given a wrist band to wear so the bar staff would know. Some of the staff didn’t seem to be very aware as to what we were entitled too but mainly the staff were very good. Although we had been upgraded to a better room, the experience was completely spoiled by workmen who started work at 8am and were using drills and jackhammers!! This work went on until early evening so we had to stay out of the room for most of the day and we’re not able to use the leisure facilities/private lounge. We looked on the hotel website whilst we were there and other sites selling rooms at the hotel and they were and still are selling rooms on The Level with no mention of it being closed. We did receive an email a week or so before saying that work was being carried out to refurbish the hotel but it was more than that, parts were practically being demolished!!!! There was also no mention that The Level was completely closed. We were extremely disappointed as it had come highly recommend to us!! We have given the hotel an average rating as we did not have the experience we had expected and paid for!

In the small street, there is no hotel door, it is not convenient to drive, the garage is very small, the service is average

The hotel is about 13 euros from the lively neighborhood of the seaside. If you are departing from the hotel, you need to ask the front desk to help you call the car. The cost of attaching the car is about 5 euros. Breakfast 12 euros / person, not much things, still exquisite. Underground parking is available for a fee, and on-street parking is free. The hotel has a good internal environment with 2 swimming pools. Two-bedroom house, one with a bathroom, and two chairs for relaxation on the outdoor balcony.
