Top location, top apartment, top service, top price. Not a bad word about this complex; everything is up to standard. If there is a problem, report it to the staff and they will help find a solution. Everything is available in the apartment: washing machine, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, dishwasher; truly everything has been thought of. The music nights at the pool bar are very pleasant; you won't be bothered by it in your room, but the atmosphere on site is great. Something is devised for other international events; for instance, around the World Cup, a separate screen with a bar was set up outside. Top top top, we enjoyed a fantastic holiday here. Everything is around the corner: the beach, the supermarket, and the boulevard with eateries.

I returned after 10 years and I think everything has improved. The staff's attention, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their two spectacular pools and dreamy spa. Very happy with this new experience. Stayed 7-06-2026

My mom and I vacationed here way back in 2014. It was my first trip to Spain, and for her, it's only one. From the moment our guide brought us to reception until we left, the service was top-notch! The entire staff was impeccable. We had a wonderful large room with a balcony and a sea view. The water pressure in the bathroom was excellent. Breakfasts and dinners were excellent. We were the only ones to order tea instead of wine at dinner. The waiters were initially surprised, but they quickly remembered us and just in case asked if we really wanted tea. ☺️ The spa was excellent. I had several massages and was absolutely delighted with the professionalism of the massage therapists. We also loved the beach club; it was a new kind of vacation for us at the time. I also loved that the hotel had a mercado where you could buy almost everything you needed. If I ever return to Calpe, I will definitely return to this hotel!

Varied breakfast, imperial! Evening entertainment. A room with a view is an understatement. Wonderful spa. Friendly service. Great base for exploring the region.
