Alicante Gran Sol

酒店建築是為數不多的高建築，房間很乾凈很大，住在24樓，可以看到整個阿利坎特，漂亮的海景，早晨太陽☀️爬進房間，空氣瀰漫著碧海清香，下次還要住這裏

酒店比較老舊了 不舒適 十樓以上景觀還行

Todo bien. La habitación que necesitaba para trabajar en buena localización para mis necesidades.

I had a previous stay at this hotel in December 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed it. This time I stayed in room 2302 for 4 nights in a premium room, which included breakfast. I thought my view last time was stunning, but this was even better. The room was kept spotlessly clean during my stay and came with the usual amenities such as a kettle, coffee maker, iron, robe & slippers, digital safe and there were sufficient power points. Considering the numerous floors in this hotel, I didn’t have to wait too long for the lift to arrive. I wasn’t able to book a room only option so I had breakfast for 3 of the 4 days. I couldn’t face getting up early on my last day to avoid the breakfast rush. There was sufficient choice of food for most palates, and plenty of it. The hotel is easily reached by taking the airport bus C6 and getting off at Puerta del Mar. I didn’t realise on my previous trip that there are numerous supermarkets nearby where you can buy water and snacks for a fraction of the minibar prices. You are also very close to Mercado tram station where you can get a return trip to Benidorm for less than €5. I really like this hotel and think it offers great value for money especially if you book in advance or have the Melia app or take advantage of Black Friday deals. It may not be the prettiest looking hotel in Alicante but once inside, it’s lovely. The reception staff were also very nice on arrival and departure.

Chose hotel for position as it is perfect to wander along the attractive esplanade, round the marina, old town, beach and castle. Loads of places to eat, bars and coffee shops. We paid a little more for a premier room with sea and city views, wow it was worth it! The view was spectacular of the castle, sea and marina. The weather was warm enough to sit out on the balcony and take it all in. The beds were firm but comfortable and there was a comfy sofa to relax with a cup of tea, kettle provided, after some exploring. Breakfast was very good, with a good selection of cooked and cold options, the pastries were delicious and definitely fresh each day. We were really pleased we chose this hotel and this room. Staff were always friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit to castle, though only walls, more great views and an easy walk along front to the lift that does take you right to the top!

On arrival we waited in reception for 20 minutes to check in, as there was only one person on reception. This has not changed during our stay. We booked via Jet2 and this hotel obviously have a lower interest in Jet2 guests. We booked half board as it is early in the season and can be cold in the evenings so decided to eat at the hotel restaurant… This was our major issue. First night we selected pork chops from a very basic menu, this turned out to be cold tough sliced pork. On the second night we chose chicken breast, What arrived was, dried pork chops, when questioned we were told that it was “Spanish Chicken” Third night, the majority of diners chose lamb chops. These were totally inedible and everyone that had ordered lamb chops sent them back. No alternative was offered or available. However other dinners(special guests) were eating steaks that we had not been offered on our half board menu. Finally our last evening, our wedding anniversary. We had been asked to dine an hour earlier? Expecting something better?? Absolutely not! We were seated in the bar while a private function was hosted in the restaurant. This is absolutely unacceptable and I will escalate with Jet2 and Melia Hotels. We have been made to feel like we were second class guests here. Please check my other reviews and you will see that I don’t often leave a bad review This is entirely a hotel review and not our review of Alicante
