Melia Alicante
Hotel lovely and in a good location. However, room was unbearably hot at 26 degrees and when raised with staff was told nothing could be done. As it was winter air con was not yet on. Meant that we could not relax in the room as very unpleasant. Very disappointing.

Odyssey Rooms
Staff were very friendly! Location is excellent and only a 2 minute walk to the beach. Room was clean. Disappointed that we paid more for the rooftop access, not realizing the bar was not open this month.
