Costa de Valencia: Luxe vakanties

Pool & Sundeck • HORRENDOUS. Like a war zone. Sunbeds packed together like sardines zero space to move • People leave towels to "reserve" beds, then disappear for hours • They have some system? It absolutely doesn't work. No staff checking anything on one full side of the area • One half has a pool and lounge beds, the other side only beds and chaos • 4 umbrellas for 70 beds. Not enough shade, and many umbrellas don’t even work. • We saw guests arguing over umbrellas. One family left for a short swim — came back and their umbrella was taken • Towels are rough and overused • Very loud music at the pool • Small biting bugs/fleas on your skin — painful • Many pigeons everywhere, especially near the showers. They poop on everything Hotel & Room • Only one small bottle of water for the entire stay, even for two guests • Elevator broke and took ages to fix • Air conditioning not working on all floors • Room was cleaned well the first 2 days, then slacked off. Only 1 towel set for 2 people. No tissues for 2 days until I asked. Extra towels were never delivered • Level upgrade? Not worth it. Pool still overcrowded. Free drinks/snacks, yes, but still no space and same issues Check-in: • Check-in 4PM, and until then, you can’t use the pool, get a towel, or even go to the toilet without asking at reception. Early flight? Too bad — no hotel facilities until 4PM • Reception was very rude about the fact I booked via Expedia. • Tried multiple times to add my Melia account — they refuse

Great hotel in the centre of Valencia, everything on walking distance. Nice clean rooms and a great breakfast.

Goed hotel, nette kamers, vriendelijk personeel goed ontbijt en met goede OV verbindingen naar het centrum of het strand.

The first room we were assigned had a very bad sewersmell to it, luckily for us there was another room available and we could move there. However, there are renovations going on which resulted in loud renovationnoises every morning from 8am to 4pm in the afternoon. The hotel was very noisy anyway, could hear neighbours walk and talk and had to sleep with airbuds every night. The breakfast was good, but not great. No variety during the week, coffee and tea not hot enough and little choice of bread. Sweet breads where supertiny, so where most of the dishes like soups, omelettes and pastry's, Cleanliness was absolutely perfect in our second room! Clean-up everyday including mopping the floors, compliments to the cleaningcrew. The new bathrooms are very pretty, but I would advise a manual for the three showerknobs, after 5 days I still didn't figure out how they worked. The location of the hotel is great, close too public transport and for us walking distance from all important places to be and visit. Lots of restaurants in the vicinity. We did have an enjoyable stay. We would have a appreciated a heads-up first about the constructionworks or at least a discount for the room. Sleeping-in or just relaxing in the afternoon was not an option, the works were só loud.

Ongelofelijk fijn hotel. Locatie is perfect gesitueerd om de stad te verkennen. Heel erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel met fijne persoonlijke aandacht. Dit hotel is echt een aanrader!!

Extremely friendly staff, nice hotel at great location. Nice touch with the florist in the lobby and the cafe

Het hotel is prachtig gelegen, direct aan zee en het lange, brede zandstrand. Aan de voorzijde (city view) heb je niet echt mooi uitzicht maar aan de zeezijde is het prachtig. Rechts is ook de haven goed te zien en lopend bereikbaar. Het personeel is zeer vriendelijk, behulpzaam en professioneel. In de buurt zijn veel eetgelegenheden, van groot tot klein. De stad zelf is goed te bereiken met het OV, de taxi, te fiets en lopend een dik uur. Wij hebben het een paar keer lopend gedaan en dan zie je juist ook veel meer van de buitenwijken en de stad. Het ontbijtbuffet in het hotel is voortreffelijk. Alles is aanwezig en vers, echt fantastisch. Ook de overige faciliteiten zoals het binnen- en buitenzwembad, spa/sauna, de gym en de vele mooie zitjes buiten en terrassen zijn erg mooi. Echt een tophotel en een aanrader!

Personeel was erg vriendelijk. Men was bereid om ons te helpen met onze verzoeken. Voorts was onze kamer erg netjes. Kortom een goed hotel!
