Feel the breeze tousling your hair, the water splashing at your feet and the salt in the air at Playa de San Gabriel. Stick around for sunset to top off an awesome day out.

Playa de San Gabriel is an ideal place to begin your discovery of Alicante. This stretch of coastline comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow time for other sights like Castle of Santa Barbara, El Corte Ingles Shopping Center, and Postiguet Beach to fully appreciate what's on offer in the area.

The property is very well kept, the lobby area very pretty and room was modern and clean. The staff at the front desk as well as the restaurant were outstanding.

9/10 Wonderful! (771 reviews)

The hotel is beautiful. A lovely boutique feel with lots of greenery and fairy lights creating the perfect ambiance. The facilities are modern and clean and the pool and pool area is lovely. The hotel was not too busy so you could easily get beds around the pool without having to think about it. There were a lot of weddings taking place during the stay which felt as though as a guest of the hotel you were encroaching on someone’s special day which felt a little strange. There was no entertainment during the evening and there isn’t much available outside of the hotel so it could feel a little quiet depending on what kind of break you are looking for.
