centre. The hotel has 81 bedrooms arranged in small bungalows scattered through a palm garden, and can be reached through a pathway. The bungalows are well equipped with modern amenities and comfortable in design.
Advantages: Climate ... Pretty cheap ...Breathtaking places Disadvantages: Can get very hot in peak season & high traffic congestion
...Alicante (Spain) is like my second home , although I have recently bought an apartment in Guardamar Del Segura (Alicante), thirty minutes drive from Alicante city . I have been visiting this part of Southern Spain for more than twenty years. During my twenty year visit , I have seen Alicante & its surrounding towns turn from shabby non-existent places into bustling and vibrant resorts. Anybody visiting Alicante & its surrounding resorts today , would not believe the dramatic changes that have taken place over the last 20 years or so. The scale of growth & expansion in the Alicante province is truly amazing - it no longer plays second fiddle to cities such as Barcelona & Madrid. This beautiful city & its neighbouring resorts all of which lie on the Costa Blanca coastline are growing not only in size but in popularity. So much so...

As it was Sunday all the information places were closed so we finished up having to pay 5 euros...

...The costa blanca is more than just Benidorm. When people get off the plane at Alicante most head for Benidorm. But Alicante has much to offer as a holiday destination. Alicante has 6 sandy beaches in all. hotels from 5 star to 1 star and cheap pensions. Also apartments near the beaches. Average temp 64f and 2,800 hours of annual sunshine. also 3 museums, a casino, 2 castles, many parks and gardens,a yacht marina and sports fields. If you like to shop theres large department stores, street markets twice a week, a large fruit and fish market in the centre of town. So as a holiday destination Alicante is a city and a seaside resort all in one....

My wife and I have just spent a week at the Castilla and have returned home very disappointed with the hotel itself and the concrete jungle in which it resides. To start with the pluses: The hotel is spotlessly clean - though we did find in our room a... more
