A wonderful hotel situated right by the lovely San Juan beach. Visiting in January, ie out of season, the area was lovely and quiet, though this did mean that not all local restaurants and cafés were open.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcome, along with being able to speak in either Spanish or English.
No complaints with our room – very clean, a good size, and a nice balcony (which I’m sure is even more enjoyable in the summer). The bed mattress was a little on the hard side.
The onsite restaurant, Pocardy, is fantastic. The breakfast was definitely worth paying for, and if you are dining here in the evening, you will not be disappointed. Delicious food, and we loved their godella wine.
We also made us of their gym, which was very convenient, though it could have had a bit more equipment in there.

I chose this hotel after a very bad Airbnb experience in December 2025. This hotel has
Exceeded my expectations on every item. It has absolutely lovely , kind and caring people who work here. I told them over the phone about the temperature issue with my Airbnb flat, and they set my room at higher temperature before i even came there . Rooms have been newly renovated. This is key if you stay here in December/winter. Many places will have old windows and will be very cold. Hotel rooms are new. Mine still smells like a new one. Bathroom is new and cozy. With luxurious spa like soap, shampoo, towels. Location is just at the beach. This is such a lovely part of Alicante. I chose it because it is not city center (which is too crossed for me), or the other side of town in the opposite direction, where the wind is much stronger and architecture/buildings look less taken care of. This part of Alicante is cozy, relaxed, just perfect if you value a place that looks nice and has a nice vibe. I cannot say even one negative thing about this hotel. It has exceeded my expectations and i am so happy about that. I wish the owners and people who work here that their dedication is really rewarded with many clients who appreciate how well managed and how beautiful this place is ❤️❤️❤️🍀🍀🍀

Nice hotel but with flaws.

The good
+ Nice interior entrance, restaurant and room.
+ Good food.
+ Good service although guy in the counter lacked most of his teeth's.
+ They're trying to look luxurious, not quite there but A for effort.

The bad
- Dirty, se pics. No proper cleaning.
- No seaview. Pictures are misleading. Hotel is 100-200m from sea street.
- No proper maintenance of room. Loose lamps. Dirty buttons etc.

Overall good anyway cause we got good price.

Very nice and quiet hotel. The room was well furnished. We felt very comfortable here. One minute to the beach. The pool area is lovely and you can always find a spot. Except that the flies are annoying. But that seems to be a local problem. The staff are very friendly.

A 3 night stay but wished it was longer. Amazing breakfast buffet, so many choices and a good restaurant. Seems that they work with fresh products from local suppliers. Clean pool, very relaxing vibe. The staff was super friendly especially Fernanda, no matter if she was working at the pool or in restaurant service. Always a big smile.  And also the housekeeping, the gentleman on the 2nd floor was super friendly and providing great service. Rooms are clean, simple, everything you need.
