INNSiDE by Meliá Alicante Porta Maris

I enjoyed my stay and definitely will come again. Hotel is 15 mins by taxi from the airport for 19€. Taxi driver told me, it’s the best hotel in town 😬. At the reception I met Javier, who was so professional and nice, he checked me in early cause the room was ready :)..not everyone does that! Lol Location is in the city centre near by the castle, marina, beach and restaurants. The walk by the beach in the morning is to die 4. I stayed in a superior room with sea view on the top floor, sunrise view and a balcony. From my bed, I could see the sea n hear the waves hitting the big rocks… very relaxing. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. Service is brilliant, staff will go out of thier way to help. Spa was a good experience, price not included, u pay 25€ for a 90 min session. Outdoors swimming pool is brilliant n is rite besides the sea, but chilly during winter. Breakfast was super, food, fruits n juice were tasty. I feel like a new man.

The staff on reception were exceptional. They seemed genuinely interested in you and couldn't do enough for you. When we needed a technician to fix something minor they were there within minutes. I loved the fresh orange juice at breakfast and good quality tea.

The hotel was in a central location to the beach and the city centre, the room was lovely and spacious, there was a door between the bathroom and the bedroom which made the bedroom really quiet, gorgeous super king size bed, lovely soft towels, the room had a fully stocked mini bar and snacks in the room, it was cleaned every day to a high standard. We opted out of the daily breakfast, but the area in the hotel for meals had a panoramic view over the beach, the room had air conditioning, which wasn't loud, and could be adjusted, a nice balcony with a table and chairs overlooking the beautiful marina, there were plenty of dining options very close by, and a lovely little market every evening just a small distance from the hotel. Everything was close to the hotel. Plenty of taxis parked outside, a huge choice of restaurants, and so many sightseeing options, a lovely friendly city.

The breakfast had a very good variety, catering for all tastes and diets. I was impressed with the large space. There was always a table available. The location of the hotel was excellent. Close to all amenities, including beach & promenade restaurants/bars.

Although undergoing some light refurbishment as an ongoing matter, the hotel was excellent and any work was undertaken in a manner that would not compromise the stay. Staff were fantastic, the breakfast was great and the room was truly amazing. Value for money was achieved and exceeded with the facilities on offer.
