Average
Pros:

Just returned from a week's stay half board.
Hotel is in a good location. Staff all very friendly. The rooms are average and very clean. Only one pillow & it was very hard. Bathroom is very small & the shower is over the bath. Pool area was decent, but no shade at the pool. Sun loungers are all stacked up & you decide where you want to put it. Loungers on the grass area have shade, but loads of ants on the grass that bite. The loungers are very uncomfortable & there is no inflatables allowed in the pool.
As a few other reviews have mentioned the food is ok, but it isn't hot. The restaurant opens at 7.00pm for evening meals. Even going in at 7.00pm the food was only lukewarm. There is a microwave, but I don't expect to have to heat my food. Food was repetitive with little choice. If you are half board you can have lunch or dinner.
The hotel is a good 30 minute walk from the marina.

Très bon séjour
Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien situé . Le personnel est très sympathique. Les chambres sont bien équipées . Le petit déjeuner est assez conséquent et varié .

Cons:

Nous avons eu un problème de bruit avec les personnes qui étaient dans la chambre d’à côté ( chambre 712 ) . Ils ont chanté et ont mis le volume élevé du son de la télévision . Il a fallu que j’aille frapper à la porte de leur chambre afin de leur demander de se taire vers 1h30 du matin .

Friendly and welcoming hotel!
Pros:

Just returned from stay at Medplaya Alba Beach, very impressed with hotel and staff who were friendly and welcoming. Hotel was spotless. Maids came every day to refresh room. Pool area was clean with plenty of sunbeds but they could do with renewing as they were not very comfortable.
We stayed breakfast only so cannot comment on lunch or evening meals.
Breakfast was good with plenty of choice.
Will definitely return! Had a great time!

Pros:

La zona de piscina, tranquila. Acceso a la playa.

Cons:

Poca variedad de comida además de no ser muy buena en general. Aunque algúnos platos, y solo algunos días, como la paella y las lentejas estaban bien. A la hora del desayuno solo funcionaba una maquina de café para toda la sala de comedor y había largas colas para poder acceder a la máquina. En general el servicio de buffet no lo recomendaría.
El acceso al baño, la puerta no se puede terminar de abrir porque choca con el bidé y la habitación es pequeñita
