Hotel Castilla Alicante

Great location (2 min from the beach and next to bus stop), beach view from the balcony, Very clean property, Comfortable swimming pool, the restaurant is nice as well.

Perfect location 300m give ir take from beach. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Room had the perfect temperature set never too hot. Nice balcony. Comfortable bed. Nice large bathroom. Lovely pool area . Breakfast was 15euro if you wanted a large breakfast. I prefer a simple breakfast so it was no problem to go to the bar and have delicious coffee and croissants. There is a great market right across the street if you forget your adapter or suncreams. It even sold clothes, swimsuits etc and just about anything. Other shops supermarkets restaurants all very close by. Moving to the left of the hotel away from the beach was a thai restaurant, cocktail bar supermarket, and other cafes and restaurants. Going towards the beach, you had a huge amount of restaurants and bars to choose from.

The room is a comfortable size, clean, comfortable, with a large balcony where you can sit and smoke and/or drink coffee. The cleanliness was maintained regularly, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is located 200 meters from the beach. There is a large grocery store and a large fruit and vegetable shop 10 meters away. There are several bars, restaurants and cafes and also a pharmacy. Bus stops 22 and 21 are 10 metres from the hotel, while tram stops 4 and 5 are 300 metres away. The beach is HUGE. Miles long to the north and ending in the south with a headland jutting out into the sea with wild beaches and dunes. Along the beach there is a bike path and many restaurants.

very good size single room, with a double bed. good size bathroom with easy access walk in shower, which had rain head and hand held control. TV had BBC news and other language channels. plenty of wardrobe space. the balcony was small but you could put the chair on it. useful having socket in shelf near bed to charge phones etc. there are 8 floors and 2 lifts. the hotel has friendly and helpful staff. the reception ladies can speak English. I had one problem with my shower and it was fixed the same day. I paid for the buffet breakfast (15 euros) each day and there was a reasonable selection of items. I especially enjoyed the baked apples and having decaffeinated hot drinks options. we also had drinks from the bar. as my friend likes to make her own green tea, she was able to get hot water from the bar (1 euro) as there is no kettles in the rooms. the prices of the drinks and food in the hotel were reasonable. the swimming pool was lovely and cleaned and checked every day. beach towels and room safes were available for a daily charge. the beach is very close to the hotel and there are restaurants nearby too. the bus to Alicante stops outside the hotel and there are buses to El Campello and other places too. there are 3 trams, which also can be used, although the stops are not so near the hotel. virtually everything you need is a short and flat walk away . San Juan playa has a lot of tree lined roads and in mid May it wasn't too busy so we didn't have to book restaurants for dinner . if you want dinner in the hotel you do need to pre book. however the bar does also serve hot food including pizzas.

Really close to the beach, and plenty of high quality restaurants and bars. Also, just outside you have connection to a bus and tram stop. The balcony was nice and spacious, along with the whole room. There is room service for food and drinks ~ but we didn’t use it since the selection was limited and we have dietary requirements.
