We had booked a superior room and it was well worth it. It was a huge room with twin beds at one side and two 2 seated white sofa beds and coffee table at the other. There was a desk next to the sofa with a CRT TV which had BBC1 and ITV1, but no Sky. The double built in wardrobe housed the safe and had 4 fairly shallow drawers. There were only 5 hangers at one side and 2 at the other. There was a cupboard which housed the mini fridge and there were 2 shelves above. There was a floor to ceiling mirror and there were glass panels in the wall which shone light from the bathroom into the bedroom.
The balcony was massive at approx. 20ft x 6ft with a round table and 2 chairs. There was no airer and no light.
The bathroom was large, modern and spotless with a round toilet and bidet, a square sink with plenty counter space, a bath and separate shower enclosure. Sachets of shower gel and shampoo were provided along with soap and a shower cap. There were no tissues which you normally get in a 4* hotel. There was a hairdryer.
The food ranged from good to very good one night to just OK most of the time. However there was a lot of choice and you wouldn’t starve unless you were extremely fussy. You get drinks from the bar in the restaurant and we were offered either a glass of wine or a bottle and either a glass of beer or a jug and the same with soft drinks. The wine was good, but not very strong.
There is a cafeteria bar where the entertainment is held on Floor -1 and a large lounge where karaoke is held on Floor 0. Drinks were quite good, especially the cocktails.
There is a spa with a beauty salon and hairdresser. Use of the spa indoor pool and gym are free for all inclusive guests or €9 a day for others. A swimming cap and suitable footwear is required and can be bought outside the hotel cheaper than the spa.
There is Wi-Fi in the hotel and you buy access from a machine opposite the reception desk. €1 for an hour, €3/12 hours, €5/3 days, €15/7 days or €25/month and it gives you a receipt with the username and password.
Sleep quality wasn’t very good the first night. The bed was quite firm which was OK, but the pillows were lumpy and one had an old, bobbly pillowcase. However the maid provided another pillow and there was no problem after that.
The shower was good and powerful. However the hinged glass door let water out, it had a fixed head and there was nowhere to put shower gel, shampoo, etc.
There is a bus stop right outside the door going towards the Old Town and directly opposite the hotel towards Albir and Altea.
We would certainly stay here again as the location is good and the positives outweighed the negatives which was really just the food some days.
The entertainment was very poor and the bar we used did not open until 9.00 PM. Someone complained and the opening was changed to 8.00 PM.
We always waited ages every time we used the lifts so we walked across an open walkway to the old part of the hotel to use their lifts, it was much quicker.
Room cleaning was average, nothing to write home about.
Food was acceptable though getting it, required joining different queues. One for starters, another for hot meals, another for chips and hot vegetables and a fourth for salads.
The location of the hotel is some distance from the beach, beach-shops and town centres. So be prepared for long walks or use transport.
We would never ever return there, ever again!
We found food to be good and because it caters for the Spanish we got regional dishes also which we enjoyed.
Hotel is in a good location and there is a bus stop right outside the hotel if you can't manage to walk right into the Old Town.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. There isn't a lot of entertainment. At the end of our week the 2 animation team came over to say goodbye to us all that were going home the following day which was nice.
We would visit this hotel again.
The hotel has spa facilities although we did not use it. We also did not stay in to watch the entertainment so cannot comment. There are daytime activities, with sangria and paella exhibitions where you try for free when ready.
This hotel has a very large dining room however I would not rate the food 4* I have had better in a 2* the food was cooked in the back but felt it lay there quite some time before being brought out, therefore cold! the soup was no better. There is a cooking area where you can watch either fish or meat being booked if you are lucky and in the queue at the right time then you would get this hot, however one evening I noticed that the guy was cooking tuna (which I love) but he cooked it far too long and ended up hot but tough/rubbery - sorry but tuna only needs 2 mins on each side! Breakfast was same cooked breakfast every morning, with the usual bread / rolls, cereals and fruit.
All in all a very nice clean hotel, I would go back on bed and breakfast only.
