If you hire a car (there is plenty of hotel parking) or have money to throw at taxis and don't mind being a bit ripped off by the drivers, then this hotel is absolutely fine, otherwise I would probably choose somewhere with a few more amenities. It is approx 30/40 mins from Alicante airport and will cost between 50-70€ in a taxi, depending on the day, time and extra charge the driver feels like adding. The hotel also seems to keep toilet roll on ration and drip feeds you one each time. There is also no beach bar to speak of, or if there is it wasn't open while we were there. Don't be fooled by the allure of the private beach, whilst it is lovely, it is pebble and not ideal for kids (except for stone throwing which did amuse our 4yr old) or if you don't have your own chairs, but you definitely need jellies for kids. Food in the pool bar is of limited variety & the main restaurant didn't open for dinner two nights of our stay though we ate out anyway. The bus outside to the main town/beach runs every hour if it feels like it, taxis to and from the town cost 10€ min each way but the cab drivers add on extra surcharge depending on how they feel. There is also a kids play area by the private beach.īad points: despite remote location (and it is very remote) there is no supermarket or shop for basics on site and literally nothing around for miles. Staff are friendly enough however hospitality definitely isn't a strong point across the whole hotel. Good points: lovely surroundings, comfortable clean room (bathroom a little dated but clean), swimming pool is perfect for kids and very clean, wifi very good, tennis courts looked in good condition, though I'm no Venus Williams. There is a bus stop a short walk away up a slight hill which will take you into town The structural and architectural design of the rooms is different from other accommodation and the implementation of the most modern technology applied to all processes make a stay in any BlueSense Hotel a unique experience. There was a sign saying shop but was closed. BlueSense Hotels & Resorts were created with the clear intention of becoming unique and different hotels wherever they are. To wake up and sit on the terrace looking at the sea it was wonderfull. In BlueSense Hotels & Resorts we offer a. Walking down the garden between the many tennis courts and onto the beach you could be anywhere. Beachfront hotel offering modern facilities and amenities, sport activities, sea views the staff is multilingual. For anybody who can live with small issues such as a stoney beach, odd cracked tile and a bath which had been mended then this 3 star hotel is very good for the price. Didnt eat our evening meal there because it appeared to be a buffet style and we like to be served at the table. The staff were good but not enough of them in the bar when it was busy. What lets it down is that the hotel from outside looks dated and tired. The room we had was a junior sweet which was clean and a nice size small kitchen with fridge microwave hob adequate pans etc and a coffee maker small dining area, with a bedroom and a terrace, the tv was not equipped to change the language for original uk programs. The hotel is being upgraded the front foyer and bar area is nice, the breakfast was ok not the biggest choice of hot food but it was ok. What might lines do next? It's time for cruise lines to decide how stringent to make their vaccination and pre-cruise testing rules now that the CDC is.The hotel is situated in a lovely setting with direct access to the beach, you do need shoes on the beach and to go in the sea, it is quite steep as you enter the sea and not really child friendly, the grounds are well kept as is the large swimming pool there is a shallow part for children but is about 3 feet deep.
