Lovely 6 nights at this hotel. The hotel is situated super close to the centre of the stunning Old Town (5-10minute walk) where you will find Tapas Alley, Gin Street and endless quirky side streets full of bars, tapas, cafes, shops and restaurants. The beautiful smells of the foods and the atmosphere is second to none. It is safe and friendly and nothing like the image most have of Benidorm.|The beautiful beach is only a 2-3 minute walk away with lots more bars, shops, cafes and restaurants very close by. |The hotel itself is beautiful, clean and has a very calm and relaxing vibe. The rooms were comfortable, clean and very sound proof. All the staff were warm and welcoming from the reception, catering and house keeping.|We received welcome drinks on check in and had robes and slippers in our room. Towels were replenished daily.|Check out was 12pm and the transfer bus drops off/picks up right outside the hotel.|The pool area is quite shaded so we opted to use the beach most of the time but the pool area was comfortable and no rushing for sun beds.|We stayed B&B, the breakfast is served until 10:30am. It had a lot on offer from hot drinks, juices and cava. Hot buffet, cold meats, cheeses, fresh breads (& toast machine), jams, spreads, a proper honey comb, fruit, salads, pastries, sweet treats and a chocolate fountain. Not everything was to our taste but we found plenty of options to choose something from.|The ‘new town/strip’ is easily accessible either by taxi for around 9€ or a 15-20 minute walk there are also regular buses for around 1.60€. Taxis are plentiful and the hotel reception don’t mind booking one for you, they arrived very quick.|We spent a morning in Altea this was a very accessible and frequent bus (number 10 bus) and took around 40 minutes to get there for around 1.80€. Well worth a visit but there are a lot of steps to climb.|All in all if you are looking for a relaxing hotel with everything accessible during your visit then I would recommend this hotel.|If you are looking for a loud party vibe with lots of like minded people then this is not the hotel for you.|Would I return? Yes
