Hotel berhampiran Administracion Crespo Garcia, Calpe

We have been to this hotel approximately 17 times now. It feels like home from home. We had friends who lived in Calpe and this was our go to hotel when visiting them regularly. This year it was for our 35th wedding anniversary.... However this is the first time our loyalty was acknowledged when we were offered a discount on beverage at the hotel and the use of the rooftop pool which looked amazing but our 1st choice is always their main pool, we've never been successful in getting a bed by the pool as we don't choose to go there early, but we are always comfortable on the artificial grass section which is quieter and seems more private. Every time we go something has changed , this time the beds were different with lots of styles available, some with shade or if not you could always use a parasol. These offerings are not on the grass section but would be a great addition in the future, as it is hot down there. If it is busy and you really can't find a bed then the beach is directly infront. This year there was loud music which we'd not had before but it wasn't all the time so didn't bother us . The hotel itself has changes to fixtures , fittings and furniture but just as beautiful as ever. The restaurant was busy as mentioned in other reviews but you are seated it's not a free for all so you are made to feel welcome and the food is amazing, something for everyone and pleasing to see very few people tried to sneak food out !! They have a couple of coffee machines now whereas it used to be served to your table which we preferred as some were walking around drinking coffee after collecting or struggling to carry a small cup full a long way to their tables. Plus the queue to get a drink could take a while. We only go bed and breakfast as there's so many fantastic places to eat in Calpe but we've heard the evening meals are something special too. The rooms again have been updated to a high standard, (not that we'd complain if they'd stayed the same) with beautiful fabrics and decor. Massive beds with quality bedding, probably the best sleep we ever have away from home. coffee machine fridge and English tv , We were given a room on the 7th floor the highest we've stayed and had a balcony with side view, not a great view but a balcony and tbh we spend very little time in the rooms so normally have a interior room no view or balcony. Evening entertainment is now at the pool area where a great deal of work goes into turning the sunbathing area into an array of lovely seating where you can watch a band or singers, 1 night in particular was really good. The staff are a credit to the hotel from the housekeepers to the reception staff, the bar and restaurant staff all exceptional. Calpe has so much to offer both around the hotel and afar. Walk to the old town, take in the sights, catch the small train to the harbour and walk to platja de fossa beach where the sea is so warm, plenty more bars and restaurants too or if you're feeling en

THE HOTEL IS IN AN EXCELLENT LOCATION,A COUPLE OF MINUTES WALK FROM THE BEACH AND TOWN.THERE IS A BUS STOP OUTSIDE(L1 AND L2)AND THEY WILL TAKE YOU TO THE FISH MARKET PLUS RESTAURANTS(ABOUT 30 MIN WALK)TO THE SALT LAGOON,TO A SECOND BEACH PAST THE IFACH ROCK CALLED PLAYA DE FOSSA AND OLD TOWN(THE ROADS FROM THE HOTEL TO THE OLD TOWN ARE QUITE STEEP. WE HAD READ A COUPLE OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS WHICH WE FOUND TO BE UNFOUNDED.THERE WERE NO QUEUES AT BREAKFAST,THERE WERE 7 COFFEE MACHINES AND 3 JUICE MACHINES AND THE FOOD WAS CONSTANTLY BEING REPLENISHED. THE ROOMS WERE LARGE,FRIDGE BUT NO COFFEE MACHINES ALTHOUGH WE HAD OUR OWN.THE STAFF WERE POLITE AND VERY HELPFUL AT RECEPTION PROVIDING FREE MAPS OF THE AREA. THE IFACH ROCK IS AMAZING BUT TO GO INTO THE NATURE RESERVE YOU NEED A PERMIT. THE FORM FOR THIS CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE TOURIST INFO CENTRE ON BEACH OR IN THE OLD TOWN AND TAKES A COUPLE OF MINS TO COMPLETE ONLINE(HOTEL PROVIDES FREE WIFI.) THERE ARE MANY RESTAURANTS TO EAT IN,WE FOUND THAT THE BEST WERE JUST OFF THE FRONT ALTHOUGH YOU MISS THE VIEW. WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK THERE NEXT YEAR AND MAY BUY A SMALL FLAT THERE FOR FUTURE TRIPS.

The Cookbook has 2 good quality restaurants and calls itself a boutique hotel. Unfortunately the hotel is not boutique as this brings to mind luxury and quality when in reality the rooms are looking tired and in need of attention. On checking in, first impressions were very good, staff are very pleasant and attentive, the reception area is modern and attractive. We were offered a drink while we were checked in, which was very welcome. Unfortunately once we got to our room, we discovered that the air conditioning was not working at all, it was running but just moving around ambient air. We called reception and they advised that they would call in the engineer whilst we were out for dinner. On our return, we were advised that they discovered that the unit had broken and we would be moved to another room. The replacement room air conditioning was working as it was a brand new unit, but instead of replacing the old unit with this new one, the old unit was left in place on another wall and the new one added as well. So the room contained two air conditioners which looked a bit odd. The hotel corridors were roasting hot, it appears that either the air conditioning is not working in these either or they had been turned off to save money. Our replacement room was looking very tired in places with doors needing sanding and revarnishing and drawers that were falling out if you pulled them out too far. Using the bathroom, we discovered a couple of issues. Firstly the sink tap was falling apart. Secondly and to be honest, totally disgusting was the wet black mould that I only discovered after I ran a bath and had a close up view of the bath tap. We reported both issues to reception and asked that they be resolved. Staff assured us that they would be immediately dealt with and on our return from dinner that evening, we were told that the sink tap had been fixed by the engineer, the mould would be dealt with by room service the following day. We were reassured that staff were on top of the issues and found the sink tap now fully working in the room. We felt confident the mould issue would be resolved the following day but to our disappointment, discovered the tap in exactly the same disgusting state. As were were spending our last night in the hotel and we had already bought it to the hotels attention, we decided to not bother to report a second time, but just list the issue here for other travellers to decide if they want to stay at this hotel or not! Breakfast at the hotel was fine although there was a bit of a lack of choice which other reviewers have complained about. It seems that there was a chef shortage as the receptionist was also doubling as the cook during our stay at the hotel. He advised us that the only thing he could cook was a plain omelette or scrambled eggs. Luckily we were fine with that choice and he cooked them well. I got the impression that most of the money spent on the Cookbook has gone into both restaurants (which are lovely) and

We had a fantastic five-day stay at Port Europa Hotel. As a family of five, we booked two rooms. Each was a double room with a kitchenette and a sofa bed in one and two double beds in the other. The ocean view was gorgeous, and the beach was just a few minutes' walk away. We chose the all-inclusive option and were very satisfied. The buffet offered a nice variety of foods, and the staff was generally very friendly. A special mention goes to Marina from the entertainment team, who was a ray of sunshine. She was always smiling and made sure everyone received attention. Our son especially loved her because she included him in games, translated everything for him, and helped him feel welcome, even though he was a bit shy and didn’t understand Spanish. Thank you for making our stay extra special, Marina! Also, a shout out to Encarni from the bar for being so warm and welcoming and for her professionalism! Overall, it was a wonderful stay with a beautiful beach, spectacular views, and great accommodations. I recommend registering and going for a small hike up the mountain before the tunnel for even more breathtaking views. The hotel is about a 20-minute walk to the old city, with a grocery store nearby if you prefer to cook your own food. Mercadona, a more affordable grocery store, is near the old town and also within walking distance. Additionally, Salinas offers a flamingo pond, a small tourist market, and many nearby restaurants. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxing vacation in Calpe!

We always use this hotel and have done so for many years now. It's situation is ideal for both beaches which are easily accessible with mobility scooters, as is the old town. The staff are always very friendly and helpful, from reception to bar to restaurant. Nothing is too much trouble. The choice and variety of dishes in the restaurant is excellent. We are returning in September.

Meine Schwester und ich waren für 3 Tage in einem Einzelzimmer mit einem großen Bett untergebracht, da sie spontan mit ist. Haben es erst vor Ort im Hotel dazu gebucht. Es war kein Problem und das Zimmer war für uns völlig ausreichend. Sehr sauber, hilfsbereites nettes Personal und das Frühstücksbuffet war der absolute Wahnsinn. Wir kommen aufjedenfall wieder. Die Lage einfach ein Traum😍. Sind von klein auf jährlich in Calpe, aber zum 1. Mal in einem Hotel untergebracht. Wir hatten absulut nichts zu bemängeln. Aufjedenfall weiter zu Empfehlen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The Diamante hotel is in one of the few actual hotels in Calpe, although a relatively busy resort. It is not far from a well kept promenade and beach with many shops and restaurants fronting but some way from the centre of the town. Very large but well able to accommodate many guests without seemingly appearing overcrowded. The rooms are spacious with the usual 4 star facilities and the same can be said of the bar and cafe. The restaurant is large enough to accommodate with a very large choice of dishes at breakfast lunch and dinner. Very impressive that they can also cope with so many people and maintain sufficient food for all with such ease and maintain food looking attractive. Although the guests come from many countries of Europe, predominately on my visit were people from the host country. In this regard children might find it difficult with the kids organised activities if they were not from Spain. The same can be said of the evening entertainment which is geered towards Spanish guests. Very helpful cheerful staff and all areas of the hotel are spotlessly clean. Although not having knowledge of the spa (extra cost) it appeared excellent and there is a free to use gym. There are 3 pools - one is small for children really. The sunbeds are certainly squeezed together and there is no quiet outside area, although the hotel is itself quiet, the night entertainment carries. All in all one will go long way to find a hotel of this rating being better

Just returned from a lovely 7 day holiday at the AR Roco Esmeralda Hotel Calpe. Staff were very kind and helpful, Food was mainly Spanish and very tasty. Lift service was first class and very modern. Ròoms a wee bit dated but spotless 10/10 to housekeeping. Hope to return soon as I am learning the Spanish lingo. Adios for now.
