Hotel Port Alicante City & Beach
Staff were friendly and courteous at the desk. The room was great, clean and soundproof. The only annoying bit was the shower did not have enough pressure and we could not figure out the air-conditioning. But this is not an issue, as we just left the balcony doors open overnight
