Meliá Alicante

convenience to beech, marina and the town.Hotel is nice and comfotable enough but wouldn,t like to spend my whole holiday there.would have expected more for the price.

terrible pool area, no info on hotel facilities, whats availabe,menus and restraunt times e.t.c.We dont speek spanish but bar staff act completely dumb when you ask for brand names Known worldwide like Coca Cola and Budwizer ( coke & bud are the same worldwide)

Perfect location, great views from the room.

Ridiculous cost of using the internet. And shouldn't charge to use the swimming pool and spas... you pay enough for the room already!!!

Large and comfortable rooms, staff nice and helpful, great buffet.

Location was superb, breakfast was the best we have ever had. Tapas bar and staff good

Reastuarant staff were not very attentive for the price of the food we had to ask twice for things and they appeared to be snooty and didnt like the fact that we were english,

Great room, excellent views, friendly staff and great central location

I thought the Hotel was clean and the staff spoke English quite well. The Hotel itself has some amazing views with proximity to the beach and the city excellent. The breakfast buffet was also fabulous and well worth paying for as part of your stay rather than adding it after.

I thought the food and services were quite expensive. I had wanted to borrow an iron to press a pair of trousers and a blouse but they only do that as part of a laundry service, so I had to pay €11 to get these two items pressed and wait a full day for it. A bowl of soup was €9 delivered to my room and as I had to leave a tip, it cost even more. I thought these were expensive, but others may disagree, I still really enjoyed my experience at the Melia...

short distance to the beach and the promenade. fairly good room size and comfort.

on saturday night impossible to sleep until 4 a.m. due to rock bands and/or amateurs performing on temporarly installed stage/podium at the beach just in front of the hotel. echo of drums hard to stand. not a word of warning at the reception whilst checking in - room should not have be given that night.

I just love the location and this hotel

no, i always come back

The convenience of the beach next to the hotel was a huge bonus for us. You could just walk outside and the beach was at back of your hotel. The hotel was extremely quite during the night giving you the opportunity to enjoy a good nights sleep. A great shopping centre (Plaza Mar) within 10 minutes walking distance from the hotel.

Melia Hotel is located right beside the beach and the old town. While rooms are small our room had a lovely balcony facing right onto the beach. We caught some beautiful sunrises.

Staff were extremely unfriendly. Services such as pool and gym were available but were operated by another company and had to be paid for at a rate of E9 per visit. Internet access was E4 per half hour which is a bit steep in this day and age. The hotel had little or no information available at receiption, i.e., local attractions, spa treatments available in the Wellness Centre, etc.

location

Very disappointing. Lack of promised sea or harbour view. Our room looked at a wall and a port building. Queues for the buffet breakfast.

Good location with very nice facilities.

The front desk staff was less than friendly. A little bit of an attitude received upon check in rather than a nice welcome.

The location next to the beach and port was great.

Very slow check-in and poor standard of English by lady on reception. She left me waiting a long time while she spoke to colleagues in Spanish and answered incoming calls so I had no idea what was going on. She should have given me her full attention and kept me informed of check-in progress. There was no directory of hotel services in the rooms - in either Spanish or English. The hotel is probably losing business because of this (on hotel service offerings). The hotel pool is small with very few sunloungers - it needs to provide more.
