This hotel is excellent in many ways - clean, comfortable, most rooms have a view of the sea (across a major road and single track railway line)
A big minus for us however was that to get anywhere from the hotel you must either use the local bus (infrequent service), taxi (expensive to do often) or a car. There are no footpaths along the trunk road.
Breakfast was typical of a hotel of this type - cereals, yoghurts, cold meats, cheese, bread rolls, croissants, etc and plentiful supplies of hot drinks, albeit dispensed from a push-buttton machine rather than freshly made. However the room for dining was a bit like a school dining hall in ambience. High ceilings and bright lighting. In the evenings it would have been nice to have eaten dinner under slightly subdued lights. And why oh why does the television have to be on constantly in the eating area?
The staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to fulfil our requests.
All in all pretty good value - we paid around 60 Euros a night for B & B for two of us. A good bas for touring the area - conveniently placed for Benidorm (to the north) Elche, Torrevieja and other places (to the south)
