Hotel Meridional in Guardamar del Segura

Hotel Review

Things I Didn’t Like
1. Refrigerator Issues – The in-room refrigerator didn’t keep drinks cold. We solved this by bringing our own cooler and filling it with ice each day. Unfortunately, the hotel doesn’t provide ice, have an ice machine, or even sell ice.
2. Weak Air Conditioning – The A/C blows air, but very lightly. Even with the thermostat set to the lowest setting, the room never got truly cold.
3. Low-Quality Towels – For a four-star hotel, the towels were disappointing. They felt cheap, as if they came from a bargain store.
4. Bed Design – The beds aren’t attached to the wall. If you’re traveling as a couple, expect the bed to slide around the room.
5. Restaurant Experience Unknown – I didn’t eat at the hotel restaurant, only the free breakfast that came with my upgraded room.

Things I Liked
1. Breakfast Variety – The breakfast offered a good variety of items.
2. Spacious Shower – The shower was large and very comfortable.
3. Daily Housekeeping – Our room was cleaned every day and stocked with fresh (though still cheap) towels.
4. Balcony View – We had a balcony with a beautiful beach view.
5. Prime Location – Just a two-minute walk to the beach and about ten minutes to shops and restaurants.
6. Nice Pool – A good alternative if you don’t feel like going to the beach.

Other Notes
• Parking – Shaded parking is a big plus, but you need to reserve a spot. Otherwise, you’ll be parking in the hot sun.
• Staff – Friendly and polite. No complaints

Rude staff
The staff needs to be sent on service minded training. Grumpier staff I haven’t seen in a long time.
Further, they will not open a bottle for you and tell you it’s not allowed in a very bad way. They will not lend you glasses and again they will tell you that in a very rude way.
If it wasn’t for the excellent food in the restaurant I would have rated this place even lower.
