Melia Alicante  

Location was excellent

The 4 star rating is overrated and the representation of the room on the booking page is grossly misleading

Great location and ease of getting to the Hotel from the airport by public Transport c6 bus Simple straight outside , great for beach and city both right on your doorstep , Nice atmosphere only thing missing tea coffee facilities in room

Gym was poorly equipped pool freezing

An excellent location. Very clean. Lovely dining area and buffet breakfast was excellent.

The reception staff I dealt with, weren't very friendly or helpful. They were quite condescending in their manner!!

Lovely luxury hotel, right in the heart of Alicante between the port and the beach. Clean, comfortable, breakfast really good, plenty of choice. Ate in the Terra Restaurant one evening, the steak was fantastic the best I have had for some years but those with big appetites be warned - it is very Nouvelle Cuisine so don't expect huge platefuls. Suited us as we had had so much of feeling totally stuffed elsewhere. We overlooked the port and had the benefit of the evening sun on our balcony, great for March when the days cool quickly in the early evening. Would love to return for a weekend break in the future during the summer.

Could have had more tourist information in the reception area, we had to ask for everything we needed to know. Parking expensive - charging for two whole days and not the day and respective hours and minutes of the remaining time. Would come again without a car and use the buses from the airport and round the town.

I had hoped that there would be an indoor heated pool, rather than just an outdoor one.

Very good service, all the staff seemed friendly. Nice sized rooms.

Excelent service, a very good location, very god breakfast buffet we only missed natural cereals for exampel: oat, etc.Employees always smiling and ready to help, etc....

We repeat that we only thing we missed at breakfast was natural cereal. Some guests were very noisy after past midnight, but we can`t blame the hotel for it.

Location, very convenient for us as with Volvo Race, nice to have hot & cold food available with drinks at the complementary bar for suites. Staff really helpful & friendly

Silly rules like 1. Can't take a drink from complementary bar to our junior suite- & there being only soft drinks in the suite. Therefore could not enjoy a glass of wine in our suite whilst getting ready to go out. Had to go to the complementary bar down the corridor. Also we travelled as a family 1 suite & 2 Double rooms and the children (aged 20-24 years) were not allowed to join us for breakfast etc in the complementary bar area even though they were on same floor. Seemed silly especially as I was paying for all the rooms.

Perfect location, very nice rooms.

One of the receptionist wasn't very nice...

The location is utmost. Being close to the marina and the town. The sea view from our roomm was great and being able to leave the balcony window open to hear the sea was lovely

I think the hotel is looking tired compared to other hotels in Europe and elsewhere. The bathroom particularly could do with a re-vamp. The tiles and around the shower was not very clean. Having the shower over the bath in the corner was not very nice and I would have expected more from a 4Star hotel. The piano player was almost asleep....

The Level

Melia alicante wins over others because of the location but it did not inspire us.

We felt we were perhaps given a room for a single occupant as only one bed was turned down and there was only one comfortable chair in the room. Hot drink making facilities were unavailable.

Location and value for money.
