A holiday of mixed fortunes! The good was GOOD, BAD was MOST unfortunate! Beginning with the good, we found the Hotel to be of 4* standard, clean, well maintained and generally pleasant. The pool area was well laid out, the sun beds and shades plentiful and ambience nice. The ‘rules’ were intimidating until you found all guests ignored them! They needed to!! The associated bar was fine, but the manning there frequently amateur. Our room overlooked the car park! NOT what every holiday-maker asks for. On pointing this out, no other room to our booking standard was available BUT on payment of several hundred euros extra, alternative accommodation was possible. Bad start. Being more elderly, we decided not to be forced into any possible move and stayed in CPView. Anyone for a list of Spanish car number plates? We found the included transport to Altea to be a boon! Punctual, pleasant and regular (Sundays excepted) it contrived to ‘save our holiday’) How? Due to the evening meal being so poor, we had to travel into Altea Town for high quality e.m’s. The contrast between the ‘hotel canteen’ (H.C.) and proper restaurants was too big. Staffing at H.C. was by grumpy staff, doubtless due to poor management! Our first encounter was at breakfast when we were ‘ordered’ to vacate a table laid for 4 persons when we were but 2! We were pointed to a vacant seat suitable for our purpose, it was adjacent to the permanently open door to the outside and at that time, windy and COLD. No wonder it was vacant! Drinks were fine and reasonably priced. The entertainment varied, but not to the taste of older guests. There are only so many bingo, diy ‘sing-along’s and quizzes you can stand, less alone enjoy. Would you return? NO! Beautiful as Altea is- IT IS! you DO need to have good food and a pleasant dining experience. Here - sadly, NO.
