Sehr schönes Hotel
Pros:

Die Nähe zum Flughafen und der Shuttle Service.
Wir haben das Hotel gebucht aufgrund der Nähe zum Flughafen, aber dort hätten wir definitiv länger bleiben wollen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Alles perfekt!

A marvelous hotel if you consider to have a great stay while in Alicante.
Pros:

Room was big, super clean and well equipped.
Breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Loads of options, fresh fruits and bread, charcuterie was delicious as well.

The locations is one of the best points because is really close to the main attractions and if you have a car can drive for a lot of nice beaches spending just 30 minutes.

Cons:

Very satisfied
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff at reception. Very modern and clean hotel.

Cons:

Would be better with some ceiling lights in the room. The towel rail in front of the wash hand basin makes it difficult to get close to the basin to wash your face or hair.

Perfecte locatie, goed restaurant en vriendelijk personeel
Pros:

Snelle incheck, vriendelijk personeel, restaurant erg goed.

Cons:

1 sauna was buiten werking, dat je geen badjas op de kamer hebt om naar de receptie te lopen om je saunapas op te halen voordat je naar de sauna kan, ook was de sauna vol en konden wij pas 1 uur later gaan. Kamer 208 is erg verlicht door de noodverlichting en airco staat op stand hard, kan je alleen stopzetten door je kamer pas.

Pros:

We stay here many times when we have late night landings or very early flight times . It’s a lovely modern hotel just 5 minutes from the airport!

Cons:

We just stayed but had a room without a separate bathroom to the bedroom area so no real privacy when using the sink facilities .
