Suites del Mar by Melia

Just returned from a girls weekend in Alicante . What a beautiful hotel this is . On arrival a couple of the rooms were ready so we could check in . Couldn’t believe the size of the suite and the bath in the window was an added luxury .so easy to walk to the centre . All of the staff were outstanding especially the lady at the restaurant Nuria .. an absolute gem .. we were treat like royalty and had the best time . Breakfast was another level … nothing at all could be faulted even cava and we had our own little vip area .highly recommend staying here

Last minute booking via jet2. Arriving at 1pm our sea view suite 327 was ready, wow what a suprise, huge lounge/ bedroom, great bathroom and separate shower even a working bath by the window overlooking the sea. Huge spotless bed bug free bed, daily room service, great continental hot cold buffet breakfast, gym pools, sauna,, bar closes at 1030but we used the melia hotel next doors extensive bar and lounges 50 metres away as all the same company and open till 1am. Old Town 10minute walk, Castle entrance 5 minutes, lots of small excellent restaurants and bars all inside a short walk radius . Cannot fault the suites at all and going back in June (bookdirect and own flights) saves€250 but join melia rewards for deals. Highly recommended spotlessly clean place with lovely happy staff

Just returned from a 7 day holiday at Suites Del Mar. We have visited this hotel many times and have always found the services facilities and the location excellent. However on our recent visit we were very disappointed with a few of the changes that have been made after the recent upgrade work completed at the first floor pool area. The smaller pool and sun bathing area is now not exclusive to Suites Del Mar guests and now feels crammed and is hard to get a sun lounger which meant we ended up going to the beach most days. The breakfast area that has been moved from the first floor where Suites Del Mar guests used to eat which has now been moved outside the dining area on the ground floor again does not feel exclusive even if there is a small menu on the table which allows you to order an omelet or the choice of another few items. Don’t think it was worth the extra cost for the room at Suites Del Mar when the equivalent room at Spa Porta Maris costs a lot less. It would have been nice to be informed about the changes prior to our visit this year .. JH
