The 10 best Resorts in Costa Blanca, Spain

April 26, 2023 Karren Gelb

Costa Blanca is the name given to Alicante's coastline in Spain, which stretches over 200 kilometers. It is an incredibly popular holiday destination for tourists, because of the marvelous weather and beaches. Costa Blanca is family friendly, thanks to the huge range of activities available there from beaches and golf to museums and parks. There are the beaches, such as Los Náufragos in Torrevieja with its volleyball nets, golden sands and Blue Flag status, or smaller beaches like Serragrosa with its crystal waters, ideal for swimmers. But there are also golf courses (particularly the Villaitana club de golf near Benidorm) and watersports facilities and cultural sites like museums and galleries, such as the La Asegurada Municipal Museum in Alicante which has extensive collections of Spanish art. You will need a couple of weeks on the Costa Blanca just to scratch the surface of its entertainment potential.

stay was okay, wouldn't return

Reviewed By jaketW2667BE

we arrived late at night so check in was not as bad as some other reviews on here, but he said because it was late to come back to reception tomorrow to be told anything we need to know, gave us our wristbands and sent us on our way. You get a buggy to your room and that was funny as it ran out of battery half way up the hill. Rooms were lovely, double bed (2 singles pushed together) then bunk beds in separate room and 2 small bathrooms with showers, was so disappointed in the cleanliness, the cleaners come in and just made the beds, the floors were never cleaned, every time we came in from the day to get ready for evening our feet were black as soon as we got out the shower, had to put flip flops on straight away, I ended up cleaning the floor with baby wipes. Breakfast is okay, but lunch and dinner are absolutely disgusting, My children and I hardly ate anything the whole week, and the fly's are everywhere, I mean you grab a bit of ham and 5 fly's fly off, when eating dinner you are constantly hitting them away something needs to be done to try and control this. Entertainment is crap!!! and all in Spanish! queues to get drinks are about 20 minutes long all night every night, even during the day around the pool and water park! Swimming pool is far too small we went to the water park every day which is amazing just 1 little down side is the amount of schools that go in there, the children push all the little children out the lines for the little slides and no teachers supervise them, but don't waste your holiday by staying at the hotel pool. Zoo is good. The on site shuttles are so good, drivers always wait for you and make sure you don't get left, they are all so polite and lovely to the children. My 2 boys made friends and wanted a photo with them all, myself and my husband told them to jump on the buggy that was parked up, the were sitting in it just about to have a photo and a young man who worked there came round the corner and shouted at them asking what they think they were doing and to get off, as he drove off he was shaking he's head muttering something in Spanish, the weren't doing anything wrong!

Where’s the coffee

Reviewed By Z1965SYlouises

We have just returned from a 3 night break and I must say the hotel was lovely. The staff were polite and friendly but front of house staff not very forthcoming with information. We weren’t informed that all the restaurants were closed on a weekend in the hotel and we had to eat in the Level. One day the hotel receptionist booked our taxi into the old town, the next day they said that they don’t and we had to do it for ourselves. There was no complimentary water in our rooms , what 4 star plus hotel does this now ? No coffee making facilities in a Junior suite either. Our checkout was 6:30 and there was nowhere for an early coffee or bite to eat . The breakfast was the best meal albeit a little cool along with dinner too. Our junior suite was clean, spacious and comfortable. I would definitely book bed and breakfast, eat out for a better standard of food. The place is a little tired but they are working on it , to be expected after the last 2 years. Please provide water in the rooms rather than the 3.50 euros you charge for 30cl bottles from the mini bar ! And coffee ! Checking out guests should be able to have a coffee in the morning! Overall, relaxing, tranquil and a beautiful setting.. would have been better with water and COFFEE!

Reviewed By Jacco B

We have stayed at the Marriott many times over the past 10-12 years and it has always been a pleasure to stay here. In 2019 the hotel had had a make-over whereby the rooms, the lobby and the restaurant have been modernised making sure the hotel would meet the new standards. This stay was probably the best of all the stays in the Marriott. The staff is excelent, the rooms are big and offer all the confort you could wish for. We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly come back (again).

We are currently stating at melia alicante in room 1040 on the level for our wedding anniversary which is today. This hotel is superb!! Our room is stunning, its huge with all modern amenities and an amazing balcony with sunlounger and his and her bathrooms. The staff go above and beyond at this hotel, all so friendly and catering to you every need. We had fresh fruit delivered to our room last night with a welcome card and later that evening chocolates left on our pillows. The food is outstanding and plentiful. The hotel is lovely and clean. The level pool area and sunlounger area us out of this world and the pool was so refreshing and comfortable to relax in as not cold. I really feel this hotel deserves its 5 star status and I can't think of a more beautiful location to spend my 25th wedding anniversary and look forward to the remaining few days we have here. Will defo be back. Keep up the good work team melia. Sharon johnson

heel duur geen kwaliteit !

Reviewed By Linda v

Het enige dat hier goed is zijn de kamers, en als je verpleging nodig hebt. Het is een hotel voor bejaarden die behoefte hebben aan verpleging of in een rolstoel zitten. De min punten zijn dat de rekening factuur nooit juist is, en telkens moet herberekend worden, dit komt omdat er meerdere managers zijn en ze niets van mekaar weten ! s'Morgens vragen ze of je een eitje wil of kaas of ham, een 2e tas koffie, achter een maand krijg je dan de rekening dat deze allemaal extra op de rekening komen als supplement, stond nergens omschreven. Was nochtans geboekt full pension. Het ontbijt bestaat eigenlijk alleen uit brood en confituur en 1 tas koffie en 1 fruitsap. Het middag en avond eten is saai, de gerechten bestaan altijd uit vis of kip !! Als je de verpleging dringend nodig hebt moet je rekenen op een half uur wachten. De droogkuis is er ook aanwezig maar niet te vertrouwen, zo zijn er al kleren stuk gegaan en 4 stuks aan kleding verloren, daar word niets in tegemoet gekomen. Mijn schoonouders logeren er op het moment vandaar dat ik deze beoordeling toch even wilde melden.

Terrible customer service at reception otherwise ok. Bathroom had broken handles and. The rest of the staff were polite. The breakfast was ok but there wasn't much different options. Also they did not know how to use salt or anything that brings flavour. Fruits were nice. Oh and you can't go golfing if you are not a professional player.

Reviewed By Inspiration802823

Lovely, well equipped apartments with a fantastic view. Friendly owner and security, great communication. Apartments are clean and just right for 2: - small kitchen area, well equipped for snacks and basic cooking, includes microwave and filter coffee maker - bathroom looks newly refurbed, shower nice and hot and powerful if you put it on full - twin beds, comfortable and warm duvets included (cold nights in January) - lounge and dining area, plenty of room for other family members to pop in as we were part of a larger family group - balcony with table and 4 chairs with stunning views of the beach and coastline, lovely on an evening. Beach outside of apartment is beautiful and clean, with kids play areas up and down the beach. Convenient store and a pharmacy 2 mins round the back, or there’s a larger supermarket up the bank, maybe 10-15 mins walk. The cafés, bars and restaurants were friendly and reasonably priced if you want to stay local, or take a walk up the seafront and promenade into Benidorm for more choice. It takes about 30 mins if you don’t stop for a paddle or an ice-cream, or there is a bus every 10 mins or so that costs 1.5 euro to take you there. Would definitely return.

Reviewed By Evvxm

This is my 4th year of coming here because it is amazing! It improves every single year! I come with my family and we are a family of 3, so only 1 bungalow needed. The pool is stunning, perfect temperature, clean and a lot of space! We always stay roughly 3 weeks and there is plenty to do in the area, although we are more the relaxing kind of family. This resort is definitly more on the spa/relaxing type, but still plenty to do for the kids. The staff are very very kind! We have a couple of times seen the owners walk past and they were also very kind! I would recommend this to everyone i know, and everybody looking on tripadvisor!
