Alicante Hills

Good place for a small family stay

With an early flight at Alicante, we needed a place to shower and rest. This was booked at the last minute. The price kept changing through the booking but finally was charged €83. 2 bedroom apartment which slept 4, even though there was only 2 of us. 2 bathrooms. Walk-in shower was broken, so I had to hold shower head. Basic stuff in the kitchen, no kettle, so we bought water. Lounge sofa covered with a clean sheet! Sheets were clean but no pillow protectors, which I find gross. Large balcony was a bonus. Horrible blue woolly blanket on the bed, again felt gross. Went to pool area, again I felt it was uncared for although the pool was clean and water quality was good. I have tried to be overall, I would not stay here again.

Location is terrible, you can walk down the hill to get a bus into Alicante Town but no idea if there is a bus going back from the town, I certainly couldn't find it. Taxi back from town is around €10. There is literally no shops, restaurants, bars around the hotel area, so your only option is getting the bus to stock up on essentials and taxi back. They charge €100 deposit, even though amenities are extremely minimal, two forks, two knives and two spoons. No kettle or toaster. Vending machines are a total rip off, €2.50 for a can of coke. Don't even bother with the "Hotel bar/café) food is bland and poorly made. The only positive is plenty of space in apartment and free WiFi. The swimming pool is a decent size, however it is freezing cold, the jacuzzi is also freezing cold, so not enjoyable to relax in.I would definitely not return to this hotel/apartment. Cheap prices but you 9ay loads in taxi fayre, do yourself a favour and pay a little extra for a nicer place to stay and near to Alicante town.
