Hotel berhampiran Playa Arenal-Bol, 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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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 stayed here for 10 days in September 2024 half board, 7 days of this was a dance holiday. This hotel is definitely not a 4 start, I would rate is as 3 star at best. The main negative is the food, which is very repetitive, with a choice of Pork, Chicken and fish in the evening, although on the odd occasion there was veal or a pasta station. The food was never warm enough, and a few times had not been cooked properly. We heard that a few people had food poisoning. There was however always a good salad selection. The deserts were the same every evening, but on some occasions there was a chocolate fountain. Breakfast were quite good, but again not warm enough unless you went to the omelette station. The hotel was kept very clean as were the large bedrooms. These had plenty of storage space and the beds were comfortable. The hotel is starting to show some signs of age, and in the area outside between the Piano Bar and the pools, there were several cracked or broken tiles. Apparently the hotel is due to be refurbished this winter. The Wi-Fi is reliable and fast in the reception area, the bars and the restaurant, but is patchy and slow in the rest of the hotel and the pools area.

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

Perfect in every way We have just returned from a week in this hotel. We stayed in a double sea view room and the views were spectacular. The room was extremely comfortable/ spotlessly clean/ modern and had everything that you need. The hotel has thought of everything including complimentary toiletries/ bathrobes & slippers/ coffee machine/ safe/fridge and a hairdryer. Our bathroom had a double shower,all fixtures & fittings modern & efficient. The room was cleaned daily/ towels replenished as needed. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. Cocktails available in the beautiful chill out area were particularly refreshing. The staff in this hotel are a credit to the hospitality industry. Each one of them always aimed to please and were friendly/ polite and attentive. Highly recommended and we will definitely return without a doubt 🥰 Thank you to all the staff for a memorable stay.

Just returned from 10 days in this hotel , party of 7 people in 3 rooms. The maids cleaned everyday, the breakfast is absolutely fine (I only made it once as I like to lie in) , the beds are comfortable , the rooms are clean , shower powerful. The staff are all excellent, helpful and friendly. The sea view is phenomenal from the sea facing rooms and rooftop pool. For a quiet, shaded swim there is also another deeper pool on floor one. We had the best time here and the location is unbeatable for bars, shops and restaurants. Don't pay any attention to the negative reviews , it must be people who like to find things to complain about.

Si quieres encontrar un buen hotel con mucha magia y con una decoración exquisita el hotel Sea and Dreams y alejarte del bullicio y alojarte en el casco antiguo este lugar ofrece todo lo que uno necesita. Limpieza, comodidad y un hotel con encanto. La playa está a 7 minutos andando y la subida es un poco costosa pero merece la pena. El trato es exquisito y te ayudan en lo que necesitas. Restaurantes alrededor. Parking a 1 minuto y gratis menos los sábados que hay mercado.
