We went for long weekend on our Priority Points January 21st. Great pool sun area protected enough to feel warm sun - just what we came for. Breakfast good value. Ate twice for evening meal and both times really good. We had room upgrade very clean and comfortable. Towels changed daily. Reception ladies very friendly and helpful. Only gripe was wi fi signal slow. Definitely go again.

My wife and I stayed here for a weekend in middle of October. The hotel was just as I expected. The check in was efficient and friendly and our room was clean and very comfortable. It is obviously a hotel that caters for conferences and business meetings but at the weekend it was very quiet which made it very relaxing. We didn't eat in the restaurant but did have drinks and a bar meal. The quality was good and I was pleasantly surprised at the cost which was more than reasonable. The supermarket was literally just round the corner and the restaurants on the beach front were excellent and again good value for money. I had no problems with connecting to the free Wi Fi with my i pod, but just had to get them to authorise my room on the system each day. The pool area was also very good with clean sunbeds in good condition and a very clean pool, although very cold water.

This hotel really is good find and is amazing value.

We stayed there in June loved it so much we immediately booked for October and have already booked again for next year.

It is situated 600 metres from one of the most fantastic beaches I have ever seen.
The rates are really attractive and the breakfast at €12 represents pretty good value.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

The rooms are spacious and clean and the housekeeping is excellent.

It is approx €30 (with tip) for the the taxi from Alicante airport but it is possible to use public transport (airport bus & tram) providing you only had hand luggage.

The internet is free but they have to activate your room everyday which is a tiny bit frustrating.

Alicante - Playa San Juan is a really nice quiet resort that has a lovely beach & promenade. You can also take a fantastic walk to El Campello which is approximately 5miles along the front - if you are feeling energetic.

There are two really good supermarkets within a short walking distance - so you can top up with supplies.

The centre of Alicante is easily reachable by tram but to be honest we loved San Jan so much we only went there a couple of times.

The Hotel was pretty quiet when we were there in Oct & they were happy to oblige when we requested a early check-in & late check-out

Can't wait to go back!!!!!!

Stayed here for 6 days in June 2009 and have to say, the hotel far exceeded expectations,

from the outside, it looked excellent, just like the promo pics, had seen the other reviews about overlooking apartments, but i have to be honest, they were far enough away to not cause me any concern at all,

the room was very comfortable and spacious, the decor was a little dated, but not badly so, air con in the room was fantastic, good bathroom facilities and a safe also.
the only niggle would be that the double bed was two beds put together, which had a tendency to migrate away from each other in the night, leading to the odd bout of being eaten by the bed. but a few well placed books against the wheels helped out there

Housekeeping changed our linen every day, cleaned the room well and we also had a small fridge available for our use which was really appreciated, the prices from the minibar werent extortionate, but discovered the local supermarkets were super cheap, so stocked up on water from there,

The location of the hotel cannot be faulted, literally a 10 minute stroll down to the main beach at Playa De San Juan, which is just gorgeous, plenty of good dining around the area if you explore a little bit,
a fantastic supermarket up the road was great for getting picnic things and heading to the beach for a nice brunch,
the pool was good, not super deep, but cool and very very welcome in the heat of the sun,
was almost always able to get a lounger by the pool and towels were freely available for the pool area, there was also a lifeguard on duty all day every day making the pool very family friendly.

internet was available by asking for a code from the front desk, had to ask each day, but that was not a problem, and although not super fast, was fine for getting emails and reached our room, so was very happy with that.

the small cafe overlooking the pool did a great cup of coffee and the staff there were very friendly, my spanish is really not good, but they never made me feel daft for trying and tried their best to understand :)

a short walk up from the hotel, away from the beach will also take you to a stand of restaurants after a walk through a lovely wee park area that the tram goes through, there we discovered a fantastic steak house, chinese restaurant and various other places to eat, worth having a little hunt around, I think other reviewers here give a better idea of how to get there,


a word of note also, when booking i accidentally booked at their sister hotel on the holiday inn website after a javascript error reset my selection box, which nearer the airport, but looks more for the business traveller, and only discovered after hitting purchase, when i called them they cancelled the booking instantly and didnt charge any fee, they also sent through a confirmation email for me to be sure, so thought they were great too, very friendly :)

all in all, fantastic location, great hotel and the restaurant in the hotel is pretty good too, breakfast was nice and had plenty of options.

really loved the fact that there was a bar by the pool also, so you could get icy cold drinks & ice cream's from the comfort of your lounger, very elegant for such a well priced hotel.

overall, a fantastic stay
