Hotels near sea shore in Valencian Community

Our apartment was huge with a large balcony. Carlos on reception was very helpful and sorted out the car parking for us. Its was a tight squeeze in a 4 x 4! Pools were clean and not too busy the heated pool was great

Booked in here for a few nights to meet friends, the hotel is separate to the apartments and takes a bit of getting used to as you have to go through the hotel, walk around by the pools to get to the apartments

Thank you very much for a wonderful holiday. The hotel staff is very nice, friendly, always helpful. The rooms are clean, bright with a spacious veranda overlooking the pool

I’m just back from two nights at this hotel. It was very clean and comfortable. I had one of the apartments on the 9th floor of the separate block. It was well equipped and spacious. I just ate breakfast which was ok

Day time aerobics, skitels, line dancing. Plenty of sunbeds, the other guests went out most of the day or sat in the cafe. They were very noisy, never stopped talking. Smoking allowed in rooms and poolside

The hot food could have been a lot better but it was still possible to find enough to do. It seemed to be quite popular with older Spanish tourists. The location was excellent, just a five minute walk to the beach

Traditional furniture doesn't bother us and it made a nice change from the clinical look you normally get in a hotel. We were bed and breakfast, it was superb, everything you could think of and Cava if you wanted it

Close to all shops, restaurants, dedicated pedestrian beach walk to Altea. We recommend and would return!

You can't get nicer staff than here at the Kaktus Hotel. We were badly let down on an apartment and we called in to see if they had any vacancies

A really friendly man on reception found us a fabulous room, with a fantastic sea view. The room was really large and although older furnishings as others have said, it was spotless

Our group of 15 cyclists enjoyed the service and the excellent staff. The food ranged from good to very good. The mattresses, in particular, are in dire need of replacing

Nevertheless, our group unanimously considered it a success, thanks in part to the facilities and, above all, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff

The staff is professional, helpful and speaks English well. Rooms clean, well stocked. Cleaned daily and the cleaning ladies very nice not imposing. I highly recommend this hotel.

Very clean. Great location with a bus stop right outside to take you to the centre or the old town. Room was great, comfy bed and good shower. Would definitely stay here again

Bathroom was newly renovated, very nice shower. Aircon (for heating) worked very well. No fridge (just for those really wanting one) Location is good, 5min from Tram stops, 3min from the beach

Got the room towards the back (It has a large balcony, but the sea view is really just very partial) Still, the room, was spotless clean. Beds were ok comfy, not great, not terrible

The hotel was fine and in a good location near to the beach

If i lay in bed and have the shower door open it's like u have ur neighbour's inside ur room. And the breakfast is very basic but still OK

The pools were great and my children had so much fun. The infinity pool was beautiful and warm considering the time of year. The other pools were much cooler but it didn’t affect my children enjoying and having fun

Room was spotlessly clean/ cleaning offered each day by the staff. The bed was comfortable/very spacious room with an excellent view of the sea. Balcony area was private enough with sunbeds available

The most beautiful hotel, rooms were stunning. Cleaned to perfection every day, room was so spacious and the balcony was massive and overlooking the beach

This includes fridge / freezer, microwave, grill, fan oven, toaster, pots, pans plates, cutlery etc. The sea view from the suite is amazing

The hotel is situated only minutes walk from a very clean beach which is good for a paddle along the shore after breakfast

I visited the spa on 2 occasions/ taking advantage of the October special (Spa circuit/candle massage). This offer was excellent value for money and the staff were very attentive and professional

The pool had a gorgeous view and it was very well maintained. The price for a night here is excellent. I would love to stay here again

I can only share my experiences of the restaurant, which was absolutely phenomenal. Excellent food and the service was brilliant, with reasonably priced meals in a pristine and relaxed environment

The hotel features an intimate pool and an excellent rooftop with a stunning view of the castle. The Fondillon restaurant offers tasty food at reasonable prices. The breakfasts are varied and enjoyable

Quite pricey for Alicante but lovely room and fab roof top pool (heated) overlooking Santa Barbara castle. Minibar / fridge, kettle and coffeemaker, UK etc TV channels. Very nice staff (a special shout out to Cristina)

The staff are warm and welcoming, and the hotel is in a fantastic location - close to the beach, museums, and plenty of great restaurants

The waitress Brook was very friendly and attentive and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and well catered for. Thank you very much 👍🏻 I highly recommend!

Austins sport bar is good if your into the rugby and football! The beach is under 10 mins walk and really nice with some restaurants on it at places

Hotel lovely but very disappointed. I am staying here presently and went up to bar yesterday and they could only offer me a high bar stool at bar even though there were a lot of empty seats

The views from room 1803 (superior room with views) in fact that room has city, castle Santa Barbara , marina, and sea views along the coastline, the hotel is city based but one hundred metres from the sea and the esplanade which is lined with some wonderful restaurants and bars Palmitos is worth a visit, the hotel is within walking distance of the colourful floral old town, the castle (although we...

After all the rain in the UK we decided to go to somewhere dry! We settled on Alicante and looked around hotels in the area that were in a good location for the marina, restaurants, beach and travel links and decided the Gran Sol by Melia fit the criteria

Just returned tonight from the city of Alicante where we stayed at Gran Sol affiliated by Melia, (we read the reviews before we traveled and our fears were gone as we arrived at the reception yesterday (this is a twenty storey plus 1970s tower) but the service and the room we stayed at made our city break most enjoyable

The room had a mini bar which was at a charge if used. Breakfast on the 2nd floor was very nice with a lot to choose from cold to hot food. The hotel was in the perfect spot for access to the shops and waterfront

Chosen for location and looked like it catered for kids but was disappointed. Opposite beach in quieter area so perfect for beach holiday. Not many sunbeds for April so in high season definitely wouldn’t get a bed

Pool was freezing and although they said not heated it would have made a huge difference for kids. The kids pool is all shaded so I think in summer maybe good but we didn’t use it due to it being cold and also dirty

Beautiful sea view from our jacuzzi room, location is very good for shops and restaurants and bars everything in a good range! Room kept stunningly clean every day

We did have a Seaview room with a jacuzzi which was really nice. A perfect view down the beach. Only one thing was not right in the hotel, only one lift was working and that did cause a queue at times

Rooms-Super king bed and small double pull out bed. No balconies at all which we missed. Food-we were AI and plenty of food but themed so one night was pretty much all seafood, one night all Chinese based foods etc

Main Pool area ok but again very small. You would struggle to get sunbed in summer

The entertainment starts quite late 8. 45 ish and is all in Spanish so we didn't really get to enjoy that. The soft play was good and the pool but lacked baby changing facilities and the changing rooms were freezing

The room we were in was on the second floor and it was to noisy from the entertainment so we moved to the 15th floor which was a bit too high and scary with little ones but was quiet

45 am and again we didn't have the option offered to us of a packed up breakfast which was disappointing compared to previous hotels. Overall the food was good but was a bit basic

Excellent location 5min to a fabulous beach, 3min to bus station for all regional attractions. Friendly hotel staff, varied food, good service overall.

I stayed here for 5 nights as a solo parent travelling with three children. We booked via easyjet holidays. 1 - arrival was great bus transfer with beni express no issues

We arrived late though meaning we had missed dinner. A small sandwich offering would have been a good gesture instead We had to find somewhere to eat as soon as we got there. Second day was the new years Gala ball

Sea view “balcony” is actually enclosed within the room with wide opening sliding windows. Personally I would prefer an actual balcony, but wonderful views still the same

Hotel Benikaktus, Benidorm – A Fantastic Easter Getaway I recently visited the Hotel Benikaktus in Benidorm over the Easter long weekend with my two sons, and I'm delighted to say it was a brilliant experience from start to finish

The hotel entertainment was great fun and, as you'd expect given we were in Spain, had a strong Spanish theme to it which we thought was entirely fitting and added to the atmosphere rather than taking anything away from it! The swimming pool was a real highlight for us

It appeared to be heated, as it was wonderfully comfortable to swim in without any of that initial shock you sometimes get with outdoor pools

It was genuinely one of the best I've ever used so powerful it could literally take your breath away! To top it all off, the views from the hotel were simply amazing and added a real wow factor to the whole experience

Waking up to scenery like that each morning really does set the tone for the day. We had breakfast included in our stay, which was a very welcome touch. The food was lovely and set us up nicely for the day ahead

I booked at last minute and normally stay in an apartment in Benidorm. Lovely room, clean and perfectly positioned 5th floor overlooking pool so got the sun most of the day

Centrally situated just a short walk from the strip and the beachfront

Just back from a week stay Not been for a few years but was great to be back All the staff work there socks off above and beyond what they should do and the new manager and Lisa what a great addition to the already wonderfully staff Food was brilliant really good selection lunch is by far the best has it caterers more for the Spainish then us british Rooms always spotless great location Can't wait...

Honestly can't say enough good things about this hotel everything is bang on from the cleaning staff right up to the management fantastic every single one of them stayed in 16 hotels in benidorm by far the best by far

Food was great some of the best I’ve ever had in a hotel. Didn’t do the entertainment so can’t comment. Staff were welcoming, polite helpful. If your a reader which I am great library store to change your book

Great hotel lovely staff was in room 203 pool view, food was fantastic waiting staff were very attentive Only downside was walls were paper thin could hear conversations in next room Would definitely stay there again

Great hotel. Great staff, beware its uphill back of the main beach front. But on the plus side they have a free shuttle bus than runs you down and back. Most of the day.

Works was being done outside around the pool, but even though we overlooked the pool there wasn't to much noise. Unfortunately we didnt like the food and found 2 of the small plates for 32 euros was alot

Exceeded our expectations. Very friendly check in, comfortable room but the bathroom needs updating. Helpful bar staff . Only negative is poor internet connection in the room . Great value.

It is situated on a hill but this is stated on their website so read it through if you need full information on what is available here as it is pet friendly too and yet I have seen people on here saying they wasn't aware of this ??? Again read their website before you book

Came for a little break with my son 21/1-24/1 and did enjoy it. Staff was very welcoming and helpful, the rooms where a nice size and clean

And a vodka and coke was 11 euros which i thought was extortionate. But overall we had a nice stay, and may well be back in a few weeks

Just home after another wonderful stay at the Riviera Beach. this Hotel just keeps on getting better !! We were nervous around visiting for St Patricks Day. Yes the Hotel and terrace were busy

but the Vibe was unbelievable. just full of guests enjoying themselves and having Fun. Thank you Riviera Beach for once again hosting to the highest standards. From Reception to Housekeeping

Our 3rd stay here, always enjoyable. The staff are all lovely & give excellent service in restaurant, outdoor bar & reception. Good excellent quality & choice much better than many 4 stars we have stayed.

The food was best ever had at a hotel so much choice and quality food , think I put half stone on , terrace bar great fantastic prices and suntrap

The riviera music lounge was great as well great acts and again great prices deffo be back. Right near shops bars and local amenities

Wow what a place check in lady was amazing room spotless and great shower , towels changed and bedding every day if wanted

Bed and air con good, food not great but found enough to eat, ideal for beach and bars. Up a small hill but not to bad. Didn't spend any time at pool or evening so have no comment. No fridge in room.

Had a short 4 day break at Mont-Park in Benidorm, the hotel is in a great location with the beach within a short walk, the Old Town was a flat walk about 15-20 minutes

You get what you pay for really. Rooms clean and cleaned everyday. Pool was lovely, nice small hotel so not too busy. Great location - close to the strip and all main restaurants/bars

the staff were really helpful and the pool area was great loads of sunbeds and the pool was bit warm instead of freezing. had some entertainment on but we were out every night

We found the hotel was clean and room cleaned every day and fresh towels if required although basic with no coffee/tea facilities. The lift is very small only four people maximum and that was tight

Great location close to lavante beach

Staff are welcoming and extremely helpful, location is less than a minute walk to the beach. Intelligent layout with elevators off reception with dining room one side and bar and pool the other

9% of guests are Spanish, however most of the staff could understand some English, rooms were excellent, very clean and well maintained, pool and pool area were excellent, however the pool is does not have a lifeguard on duty

Pool is cleaned meticulously in the mornings. We had the pool view over the mountains which was beautiful. We also booked full board and I would highly recommend it, incredible the quality and variety for the price

The hotel is very clean and modern, right on the beach front. The spa is small but perfectly adequate. Nice warm temperature and everything works and it's never crowded. We've been twice and most definitely will go again

Bev's Birthday 2024 Well We put excellent on all of the questions because everything was flawless from reception to leaving, many thanks to all the staff

It is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at and without a doubt has the most amazing views right on the sea front. We were upgraded to a suite as a birthday treat and given a bottle of Cava and cakes

It was also lovely to see how friendly the team are, from the front desk right through to the housekeeping staff everyone was welcoming and helpful throughout our stay

Hotel Gala Placidia in Benidorm Alicante, April 2026. Great vibes. Room on 7th floor. Fantastic value for money. Staff extremely friendly and Hotel very clean.

Also, something on every evening, from live acts to quizzes etc - Gala makes an effort to do this - we have been many other places that do not. Plenty of outside space around bar pools and main pool

Note: look out for the sweet cats that live around the main pool. Regardless of cost, we will remember Gala Placidia as one of the better (2* to 5*) hotels we have stayed in the past 30 years

Went the week before Easter 26 for 9 days. flights/transfers) for All Incl. Just a getaway at the end of winter, so had no unreasonable (or particularly high) expectations. I think we struck lucky with the Gala

Choice of lunch/evening food much better than expected (we stayed at a 5* in Croatia last year where the choice was better, quality of food similar, but Croatia cost double)

Also the bathroom - well equipped, spacious and modern. The location is great, also the beach. The staff is helpful and with nice approach to the guests. The food is OK, the fish, the fresh salads and fruits are great

Mil Cinco We have stayed att Koral Beach Hotel before and revisiting it confirmed the fantastic vibe that we felt the first time. The staff make you feel more than welcome and the food is incredible!

The spacious room that have been recently renovated, the Lounge, the restaurant, the pool and nightly activities makes this the best experience I had in Spain

I have been pleasantly surprised with this Hotel. This 4 star hotel on the Mediterranean Beach North of Valencia, has all what I expect and then more

Wonderful hotel!! Second year running to this lovely hotel. great service, very clean, ideal location with the beach out the front

there is nothing not to like! Quiet hotel where you can relax! Looking forward to booking next year for another long weekend break!

The days were sunny and the nights were breezy. The hotel was fantastic! It's just across the street from the beach, and there are poolside performances in the evenings. There's a bar and an infinity pool on the rooftop

Directly on the Gandia beach with amazing view from rood top. Good place as a couple or with kids. Nice to walk on the beach, enjoy the view from infinite pool. Highly recommend this place for couples and kids

Best price/quality ratio! Hotel is located on the first line, literally on the beach. Great views on sun rise and sun set, good food and drinks. Ideal for the end of season relax :-)

Was on honeymoon for a week, and probably the best hotel I've ever been. Nice place, the beach is near, 3 pools (1 rooftop infinite). Great staff, always ready to help

The view and windows in the room are awesome, and the food is very tasteful and different each day. Also a lot of activities like evening concerts, aquagym, padel in the nearest tennis club (all included in price)

If you're coming for a vacation, you can book a room that includes two or three meals a day. The food is quite good 👍 and much cheaper than restaurants outside! My stomach can totally handle the Chinese food!

It's very close to the beach. It's also only a five-minute walk from the old town. The rooftop pool offers a direct view of the castle. The fact that it even has its own parking lot is a big plus.

Amazing location, 3 mins away from the beach and the town center, amazing service and very clean. Will recommend!!

Room was great Staff super friendly and ready to help Breakfast choice had a good selection Location - near beach castle and shops. Only down was air conditioning we couldn’t get right !

Very helpful staff, spotless, rooftop bar and pool. Room plenty of space, fridge, nice shower. 2min walk to beach, bars and restaurants.

Positives -24 hour reception -A great central location. -Ideal for the beach and marina

This place is a great place to stay to really get around Alicante. Walkable to several great restaurants and the beach! A very clean place, which I care most about when traveling; Modern, sleek, and simple

We had one evening meal whilst there and whilst it was a bit expensive it was beautiful and very tasty. Location we caught no 2 bus a 5 min walk away to city. Be aware the no 2 is different buses going out and coming in

Lovely hotel in residential part of Alicante The room was clean and spacious. Bathroom lovely and beds comfortable We had Breakfast which was plentiful and many different things to choose

We must give a shout out to young lady who worked so well and was delightful even when I spilt beetroot smoothie. She made our breakfasts enjoyable and pleasant to be there

The rooms are spacious, the bed was really comfy, and there are comfortable seats in the room and on the balcony. The bathroom is very modern and clean

Great hotel with a luxerious feeling. Everything you need and good service. A little far out of the cetre. Recommended if you have transport, like a car or bike.

The mini fridge was also very useful during our stay. We stayed at the hotel in January 2026, and unfortunately the rooftop swimming pool was closed at that time

This hotel is 3 stars and fulfils that and more! Had everything we needed, good food, lovely pool, ample sunbeds, great drinks at the bar, clean, friendly service and helpful team all around! Only point taken away is the location is slightly out the way and located on a steep hill

We stayed here for a week in June , at first I was worried because there was work going on , but it was okay me and my husband enjoyed watching the trucks coming and going to the site we especially enjoyed catching the bus to the old and new town of benidorm , we found the room lovely and clean , the cleaners worked really hard , the reception staff were very professional and we were checked in quickly...

Excellent rooms. Full and halfbord great, hotel tidy and clean 24/7. Large swimming pool quite warm, nice bar to. Does sandwiches as well

Comfy rooms, helpful staff, delicious food. Location could be better - uphill walks required. Go for a frontal sea view room if you can!

Only downside is the lack of English at reception, some didn't understand anything i said which made life difficult & the beach is a long trek not great in 30+ degrees and a long walk uphill to the hotel

Just arrived but impressed already. My room is just right for me and a great view of the beach and the whole of Benidorm. The bathroom is superb and a large shower
