Melia Alicante Hotel 4 stars

The Melia Alicante Hotel is located between the harbour and Postiguet Beach on Spain’s Costa Blanca. The Santa Barbara Castle is just over 800 metres from the hotel and the casino is located opposite. All of the air conditioned rooms face the sea or marina and have good facilities. For an additional charge, guests have the use of the hotel’s Wellness Centre with discounts on the spa facilities on offer.

The hotel’s A la Carte restaurant specialises in rice and fish dishes as well as an International cuisine. The poolside snack bar serves light meals, while the lounge bar offers drinks and cocktails, perfect for a refreshing drink during the day.

The city is an interesting place to visit, with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, fascinating buildings and an ‘old town’ as well. Alicante is a popular destination for those wanting a holiday in the Mediterranean sun with lots to see and do. The transport system around the area is second to none. The tram system in particular is ideal for sightseeing, taking tourists from the bottom end of the Costa Blanca all the way up, past Benidorm, where you can experience the nightlife, because the trams run through the night. If you have children with you, they will enjoy a day out at the Terra Metica Theme Park.
