How far is the nearest beach?

Levante Beach is just 300 metres away, roughly a 4 to 5-minute walk along flat streets via Av. de Mallorca or Av. de Europa. No hills, no hassle, just a quick stroll with your towel under your arm. You'll sometimes see the distance listed as 150m or 400m elsewhere, but the actual walking route measures 300 metres.

Distance from the airport

Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernandez Airport sits around 59 kms away. A taxi or private transfer usually takes 45 to 50 minutes via the AP-7 toll road, while shared shuttle buses take a bit longer, typically 75 to 90 minutes depending on drop-off order. Worth factoring into your arrival day plans.

Room types at Ambassador Playa I

Rooms here were recently refreshed with wooden panelling and modern walk-in showers, and every room comes with its own private balcony.

• Standard Double/Twin Room -

  Sleeps up to three adults, or two adults and one child, with two twin beds pushed together plus an optional sofa bed. Balconies face either the street, which is livelier and noisier, or the inner pool courtyard, which is quieter. Expect free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating, a flat-screen TV with British channels, a mini-fridge and a hairdryer. Room safes are available but cost extra.

• Single Room -

  Built for solo travellers, these often come with a small balcony overlooking the pool. They offer the same amenities as the standard rooms, just sized for one.

• Premium/Pool View Room -

  Same layout as the standard rooms but with a guaranteed lower or mid-floor view over the central pool, a nice option if you'd rather wake up to the water than the street below.
