Hotel Bonalba Alicante

Airco deed het niet,

Chambre spacieuse, bonne literie; Buffet diner très bien.

An sich ein gutes Hotel. Aber die Gänge riechen total nach Urin.

Bon séjour dans cet hôtel, accueil et service parfait, facile d’accès à proximité de Alicante. De préférence, prendre une chambre à partir du deuxième étage, car première étage bruyant.

Pet friendly hotel.

Really good experience and the 2 Barman that was working on Friday 5th of September night really good fellows Friendly and helpful, I will recommend 100% will be back again next year Thanks guys J M

This is my second time staying at this lovely hotel—last year and again this year. I really loved it, from staff to guest.

We had a nice time overall as it was lovely to be together as a family – we don’t often get much time away, and my son really enjoyed the pool. That said, I did come away feeling a little disappointed, and perhaps that’s partly down to me not researching thoroughly enough beforehand. I booked Bonalba because it was advertised as family friendly with activities for children, but the reality didn’t match my expectations. The pool bar was very limited – one of the main beers was unavailable, the ice cream choice was poor, and the man serving at the outside bar was very rude (although I must say, one gentleman in the main bar was fantastic – I wish I remembered his name). Overall, though, the service was some of the least welcoming I’ve experienced in a hotel. I was also surprised by the language barrier. I completely understand we’re in Spain, but I’ve stayed in many Spanish hotels where staff are bilingual to accommodate families from abroad. At Bonalba, around 90% of the staff we encountered spoke only Spanish, which made things tricky, especially for children. Children’s entertainment was almost non-existent. Evening shows didn’t start until 10:30pm, which is far too late for a 9-year-old. If this lack of activities and atmosphere was down to it being the end of the season, I think the hotel should make that clear to guests at the time of booking, as it really did feel like there was nothing happening. Location-wise, the hotel is very remote. I knew it wasn’t central before we arrived, but I didn’t quite realise just how cut off it is. We ended up spending around €100 on Ubers into El Campello (which thankfully was lovely), but it became our go-to as there wasn’t much to do at the hotel itself. Overall, I feel quite gutted that I didn’t research more carefully. It wasn’t a terrible holiday – we did make some great family memories – but for us, it wasn’t the family-friendly experience we were hoping for. X

Super hôtel

This is only an all inclusive hotel. Although being a standard guest for 7 nights it was impossible to get a cup of coffee before 11:00. Choose a room facing the pool. Facing the main entrance offers views of fallen towels baby bottles and general untidiness. Garbage Lorrie’s reverse beeping. Hidden surprises - car paring is available at an addition 15 euro per night-if you park one night you are required to pay for the entire period u will be staying.
