Fantastic hotel.
Pros:

We have stayed several times and it’s always fantastic. We see it as part of our holiday. The staff are very helpful and courteous, the rooms are comfortable, the food is excellent. We now usually have the tasting menu and it’s always great. The breakfasts are also lovely. We will be back in February.

Lovely hotel for our last night before flight.
Pros:

Great location only 10 minutes from Alicante airport. Underground parking for security. Simply furnished but spacious rooms. Fantastic restaurant with knowledgeable staff. The menu choice is wide and the tasting menu great value for money. The restaurant is very popular so you must book. All staff are friendly and speak English. Highly recommended.

Excellent stay and delicious meal
Pros:

Excellently located just a few minutes from Alicante airport, this hotel is great value for money. The reception staff are excellent - welcoming and helpful. The bedroom was clean and well equipped, the bed was quite comfortable(though softer pillows would be welcome)and the shower worked well. The garden at the rear of the hotel was a pleasant surprise and a lovely setting in which to have a drink or a meal. We ate in the restaurant and we are so glad we opted to dine in rather than going out - the food was superb, the service was exemplary and the price was surprisingly reasonable. Highly recommend this hotel!

Regular visitors
Pros:

My wife and I stay here 4 times a year, on arrival at Alicante and before we return home.
We see no reason to stay elsewhere as we are always happy and made to feel welcome.
2 very minor improvements would make it perfect:
1. An English speaking news channel on the TV,
2. A bigger choice on the breakfast menu.

Pros:

This was my favorite hotel during my stay in Spain. I traveled between Barcelona, Cordova, Granada, and Madrid. And in all of my travels, this was my favorite hotel. The hotel staff was kind. The food was amazing — I had the best hummus in my life in this hotel. In addition, the amenities were amazing, for example, the spa area was spectacular. And its proximity to the city, the beach, and the airport were huge pluses. I highly encourage anyone to visit this hotel during their stay in Spain.

Pros:

Very good location, close to the airport and very clean. The room was comfortable and well-maintained. The only thing that surprised me was that bottled water (even still water) was not complimentary and had to be paid for – it would have been a nice touch to include at least one bottle per guest.

Can’t comment on what’s around the property, as we use this as stopover hotel, usually arriving very late and leaving sharp the next morning, but what we do see and experience is always very good.

Beautiful, clean hotel!
Perfect for staying a night or two before a flight as it is so close to Alicante airport.

Comfortable, but highly lacking in privacy
Pros:

The hotel is visually appealing and comfortable, with good facilities. However the toilet room has no lock on it, and the main bathroom lacks a door alltogether. This is detrimental to privacy, especially when traveling with a friend, family member, or colleague. We asked for a new room with a door to the bathroom, and the receptionist said he wanted to help, but all rooms were booked. The next day, a new receptionist informed us that the entire hotel had this layout, and that none of the rooms have doors to the bathroom. It greatly puzzles me that nobody else seems to have had issues with this. In a similar vein, the toilets in the wardrobes connected to the pool/spa also have no locks on them. Anyone can walk in while you're taking a dump.
