Hotel Almirante

Lovely staff very accommodating. Cleanliness of the hotel was of a very high standard. Very close to Tram station and supermarket

The hotel was only three stories in height, bijou and cosy, but a lovely feel. The inside/outside dining area was a relaxing experience. The pool area was never uncomfortably busy. We used the gym, which was basic but had all we wanted, ie weights and a treadmill. The short walk to the beach and extensive promenade of San Juan, was great for walking and exploring. Just a few minutes walk from the hotel is the tram, both to Alicante and further afield in the opposite direction, Benidorm- just 1.40 Euros, each way! The whole area of small local cafes, eateries were very cheap and there was a large supermarket close by. The trams get very busy around 6pm, so be prepared for them to sail past and wait for another. This is not due to tourism as there were many locals on these trams. Every evening walking doen the prom are all the locals, the beach is full of pilates classes, personal trainers, group classes and more. Friday night, watching the Spanish World go by was great.

Lovely newly done decor, with a comfortable dining and bar area. It is small and retro (it is 60 years old this year) compared to some of the huge buildings nearby. Lovely pool and sunbathing area and spacious garden with deck chairs. Some rooms are still being refurbished, but work is 9 - 5 pm and not a problem. We ate dinner in the restaurant both nights we were there and the food was refined and delicious and the service excellent. Super breakfast. We drove there so it was useful that there was a car park. The bedroom was pleasant, with a small balcony overlooking the pool and garden area. There is a newly made spa and beauty salon, but I didn't use this facility. Great location with the fabulous beach just over the road and and the L3 tram runs along the beach front, so you can easily get to Alicante. It's a lovely hotel, not big and flashy at all. We went in March, so it was fairly quiet. I hope to go back for a bit longer soon.

We stayed there in November only for one night, but it was nice experience. I am able to review only the room, the breakfast and service. The room - we had a premium double room - extremaly clean, comfortable bed, perfect bathroom. The breakfast was ok. Not amazing, but kept the standards. Maybe the staff should quicker collect the dishes after finished breakfast by guests, otherway the seagulls and pigeons take the food from the plates. The overall service was amazing. We stayed there with a small dog and they give us a nice gift for the dog. Of course there is an extra charge for the dog but still, it was unexpectable.

Reception - they are efficient. Everything was prepared just before our arrival. The welcome toest as we are travelling for our honeymoon. Restaurant - dinner menu is exceptional. The recommendations of what's a must-try is great. The breakfast has not much option but good enough to start your day. Housekeeping - the room is taken care of on a daily basis. The maid is making sure that our preference is done (non-scent due to allergies).
