Hotel Huerto del Cura

The hotel is set in idyllic grounds. Although located in the centre of Elche, near Alicante, you would never know it thanks to the calming oasis of palm trees, beautifully landscaped gardens and pool area. The rooms are all standalone, single-level units accessed via outdoor pathways. They are arranged in short rows rather than stacked, which gives each room a greater sense of privacy and individuality. The room itself was very spacious, but unfortunately lacked attention to detail in several areas. There was only one bin, located in the bathroom, with none in the main room. The room did not include a kettle, tea or coffee; when we requested these, the kettle arrived without coffee (we were sent milk, tea and sugar, but no coffee, despite specifically requesting it). We also ordered room service and asked for salt, pepper and ketchup, none of which were provided. The breakfast offering was another disappointment. The images shown in the in-room brochure suggested a more elevated, premium experience, but the reality was a basic, average buffet. For example, pancakes were advertised but not available. As we visited just after Christmas, the room was also very cold on arrival and took a full day to warm up. Despite paying for the hotel and an additional charge for breakfast, we were also charged a daily parking fee of €13, which felt unnecessary. On the plus side, the location is excellent and very central. If you can overlook the issues above, this is a pleasant place to stay. However, if you are looking for a truly premium experience, this hotel - despite its attractive setting - may fall short.

Arrived to a warm welcome and checked in very efficiently. My bungalow room was spacious clean and well equiped. Bed was huge amd very comfortable. Complementary water and kettle supplied as I had requested along with tea and coffee. Bathroom was large with adequate space for toiletries although there were good quality shampoo and shower gel provided.|Buffet breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. Staff were happy to provide scrambled eggs, avocado and poached eggs and omelette if wanted.|Every member of staff was courteous and warm. I only had 2 nights but left feeling so refreshed. I will return.

We spent one night here. Beautiful gardens, it feels like you are in a resort in Indonesia. Super nice. Breakfast was ok but in winter time everyone needs to sit inside which is not a nice atmosphere. If you need to pay an additional €30 I would not go for breakfast. Rooms are nice and clean. Spa is ok-ish but not very special.

We had several delightful evenings in the Veranda Garden Bar as part of our stay. They have a very exotic passport of the world cocktail menu. Delicious! Most importantly pour excellent classic cosmos as well. Relaxing way to finish the evening.

We stayed for 2 nights due to a flight cancellation. Gotta admit I was pleasantly surprised. Great service and it is right in the middle of a palm grove. Great for relaxing and lovely service. Definitely rate them highly.

Bungalows beautifully integrated in the gardens, calm and quiet, no street noise as is at least 60m away. Very helpful and friendly staff. Enough parking space on the premises. Easy reachable and very central location.

So relaxing. Arrived in paradise for 6 days and extended our stay. The team are lovely, thank you to gisela for such a wonderful smile every morning at breakfast. Place brilliant. Thank you

Stunning hotel complex. It's like a small private corner in a south American paradise. Complete with palm trees, swimming pool and excellent service.

Great hotel. They manage to stay up to date and to offer very high quality despite the fact that it exists for several decades already. We enjoyed the interior design and comfortable facilities of this high quality place. Very well managed and a little paradise for those seeking to spend a night in the area. Good value for money. Impressive.
