Hotel in zona Club Social de la Manzanera, Calpe

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.

We arrived very early in the morning of the 1st of October due to a nightmare transfer from Alicante Airport to Calpe. We were checked in by a nice guy at reception and went our room 431 which was a standard room without a balcony. A lovely room where there was a hat for the sun and a beach bag amongst lovely bathroom amenity kits etc.. the bed was comfortable and cool as it was very hot for the time of the year. We had a large ceiling fan and air conditioning, didn`t really use the coffee machine..The breakfast buffet had a lot of choices but, if you went later in the morning it was a little bit like a bun fight at the OK Corral..the coffee machine ran out of milk, the bacon was a bit overdone..The pool was smashing but the surrounding floor tiles were a bit slippy. Drinks at the bar were refreshing, we had a meal there and it was great.

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!

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 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.

Mia sorella e io eravamo alloggiati in una camera singola per 3 giorni con un letto grande, perché è spontanea con. L'ho prenotato solo sul posto in hotel. Non c'era problema e la stanza era completamente sufficiente per noi. Molto pulito, utile e buon personale e il buffet per colazione è stato il pazzesco assoluto. Ci ritroveremo in ogni caso. La posizione è semplicemente un sogno 😍. Sono da piccolo a annuale a Calpe, ma per la prima volta in un hotel. Non abbiamo avuto niente da difettare. In ogni caso, continua a raccomandare 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Ormai meta storica per le nostre vacanze ciclistiche, completo di garage, piscina e cosa molto gradita dopo una bella pedalata, il centro benessere. Il personale sempre a disposizione per mettere a proprio agio il cliente. Un grande grazie al simpaticissimo cameriere Manuel Garrido Domenech, che con grande simpatia e professionalità ci ha sempre servito con il sorriso.

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.
