Picolo recommends · Hotel in Alicante, Spain
Port Alicante City & Beach
A modern family hotel by the long sands of Playa de San Juan, with two pools, a children's pool, a garden and a playground for the youngest.
By early evening the seafront at San Juan is full of families walking off the day with an ice cream in hand. Port Alicante stands by these sands north of the centre and has a garden, a playground and two outdoor pools.
There is a children's pool, a sauna and a restaurant open from breakfast to dinner. When you want to see Alicante itself, the tram takes you into the centre without a car.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Port Alicante City & Beach
It is built around what families actually need: sand, pools and room for children to play. It also works for longer winter stays, when the beach is quiet and the climate is mild.
It is a practical, modern hotel with little character. Check what your rate includes, since breakfast is extra on some of them. If you want the old town on your doorstep, stay in the centre instead.
