Sercotel Hotel Bonalba Alicante

Set in picture perfect, colonial-style surroundings, the delightful 4-star Sercotel Hotel Bonalba Alicante is ideally located just a 10-minute drive from the centre of town. This luxury resort boasts both an outdoor and indoor swimming pool, fitness centre, mini golf course, spa and massage parlour, all housed within lush tropical gardens. It was awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence in 2014 and with good reason.

The guest rooms are the epitome of style and understated luxury, furnished in a modern style with elegant wooden interiors, large and comfortable beds, mini bar and air-conditioning as standard. They also come equipped with televisions, tea making facilities and blackout curtains, should you wish to relax and unwind in the comfort of your own space.

Guests are spoilt for choice when it comes to food, with a sumptuous buffet selection available in the restaurant. An a la carte restaurant allows guests to dine overlooking the beautiful gardens and for something less formal there is a café selling snacks and drinks.

A short walk from the hotel gates is the Bonalba golf course, a superb spot for guests to practice their swing and take in the warm Mediterranean air. The beautiful port town of Alicante is a little further away. Steeped in maritime history, it makes for a delightful coastal walking destination. Visits to the ancient fort of Santa Bárbara Castle, San Nicolas Cathedral and Explanada de Espana are highly recommended.

And let’s not forget the incredible food and drinking options available in the area, with plenty of alfresco bars and restaurants lining the waterfront, ready to serve up fresh fish, local vegetables and glasses of wine and cold beer.
