Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Basic hotel
Too far from town and shops.
Basic hotels overpriced.
Breakfast was 12 euro and never warm.
.. Any of it.. At all..
They did give free safe and kettle for room... No cups though....
this was our second stay at the Hotel Gran Playa
within a year, we checked in late due to flight delays
from Madrid to Alicante in the historic (el Apagon)
black out in Spain the receptionist explained about the
black out and no electricity no lights in our room tired and
hungry from the ordeal and no bars or restaurants to go to, a lovely lady getting ready to go home after her shift
I was asking where we can get something to eat offered us pizza from the kitchen i think her name is Mercy, we owe her deep gratitude for caring
The hotel was extremely clean and well kept.
BUT... it was miles from anywhere in the middle of a residential estate
It was 10 mins to beach which was a nice beach with a few bars and restaurants
30 mins to the bus station, a very boring walk and some parts not suitable for anyone with a mobility scooter
25 mins to nearest shop
35 mins to harbour area
The food was very nice and a good selection considering the few people in this hotel. However it was always luke warm on the display. I asked for it to be checked an saw that the hot display was showing 45 degrees, food should be displayed at a minimum of 63 degrees. I explained that this was dangerous and was told that it was ok for Spain!!!! Bacteria multiplies at the same rate regardless of country.
The second time I told the waitress that the pasta was cold on the hot display she shouted at me in Spanish and kept pointing to the microwave
I advise all travelers to use the microwave to heat their food to the correct temperature
I would not consider staying there again
Stayed for 3 nights on the way from our holiday home to Alicante airport. Maria on recepion was welcoming and very helpful.
The girl who ran the cafe/bar was also very attentive. I'm sorry, I didn't get her name.
The whole hotel was extremely clean. I would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Ok but bedroom walls paper thin, can hear next door very plainly.
Lovely hotel, bit on the old fashioned style but perfectly clean and tidy, lovely big bedrooms and bathrooms, just missing a mirror in the bedroom to sit and do hair and make-up, bit noisy in the balcony due to main road noise at one side of the hotel! Unfortunately although the food was ok it was all served on the colder side of cool, need to micro all food if you like it hot and it dosent vary very much but very tasty and edible. Please be aware that there is nothing much to too out and about the hotel as its very much on the outskirts of town and a good 20 mins walk to bars restaurants ect
The staff were great, I used the gym which was in the quiet and suited me. The hotel is just of the main N332 very convenient for getting around if you had a car. 30 minutes walk to the Harbour. I would stay again.
Very nice spotlessly clean hotel
Near beach
Only down side was maybe distance
From town centre 20 minutes
Not really a problem for us we enjoyed the
Walk ..especially along the beach
the breakfast and dinner was great
our room cleaned and had everything what we
need for our 10 day stay, the under ground parking
kept our rental safe and secured gate in and out.
24 hour receptionist was great and they were very
polite and helpful spacial mention Lorena and Mario front desk (awesome people)
A clean hotel and the staff were great. The hotel it’s self is a bit of a throw back and it a little ways out of town which has a variety of restaurants and shops.
The hotel has great staff and it’s a very well run hotel. The rooms are comfortable and very clean . I would say my only criticism would be the breakfast eggs and bacon and beans were all cold . The breakfast looks great and there is everything you could want .
Hotel looks better in the pictures, ok stray with ok food. Told to sit and wait for 5 minutes when tried to check in (only ones there), after about 5 minutes I got up and was told wait a little longer, he did say there was an issue with computer when we eventually got our key, would have been good to be told that on arrival rather than go and sit and wait. First time ever at check in have I been told to go and sit down and wait.
A small hotel, with a lovely team of people taking care of you. The food on the buffet was not very hot, but tasty nonetheless.
The pool area was clean and tidy, and the bar and terrace, while a little sparsely furnished, were comfortable.
The town was a twenty minute walk away, with a variety of restaurants and bars, but a very pleasant walk back, along the coast.
