Kris Alicante - Alicante, Spain 

Let's just say that we lasted only 3hours at this hotel,hotel very clean but in the middle of nowhere, pool, well splashpool constantly in the shade,and it closes in the afternoon,sun terrace runs parallel with busy road bit like the M25. We finally got a cab just outside bit like spaghetti junction (very dangerous) went to Benidorm and our holiday started there.

The hotel is situated on quite a steep hill along a main road but only a couple of minutes from the clean beach. There is also a good shopping mall just a five minute walk away, again up a hill. A good tram link is located across the road which can take you to other beaches up the coast and into Benidorm if you wish! It's a pleasant 10 to 15 minutes walk into the main part of town where there are plenty of nice restaurants and a lovely port and a nice wide promenade along the sea front. I found the hotel to be very clean and the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was typical for a hotel of this standard and quite sufficient. The walls in the hotel are a bit thin but i didn't have any problems. Found the room a little warm even though i had the air conditioning turned up and it was on the cool side weather wise, so i did wonder what this may be like in the height of the season! The hotel pool wasn't open as it only opens in high season from june onwards, but it did not state this on its web site and this was one of the attractions for me, but with the beach just across the road this wasn't a problem. Overall i found this hotel to be comfortable and clean and very good for a short stay in this area, and very good value for money. I would advise travellers to keep a close eye on their posessions as i had my purse stolen on first day in this resort whilst browsing around the main shops.
