Hotel Pierre & Vacances Altea Beach - Port (Altea, Spain)

Almost all positive reviews make mention of the stunning views from these apartments. Relaxing on the terrace and watching the sun rise and set over the Mediterranean is a holiday-making moment for many, while waking to the sound of lapping waters is a dream start to the day.

Reviewers are quick to acknowledge the integral part staff play in making their stays stress-free. Multi-lingual front of house staff are exceptionally welcoming, while guests arriving a little early or requesting a late check out have been delighted to find staff both understanding and accommodating.

Solo travellers, couples and families alike are invariably delighted with their well-equipped accommodations. While the surrounding area is replete with wonderful eateries, those who choose to cater for themselves will find a kitchen complete with absolutely everything you need to cook up a feast.

Among the small list of grievances reported are the charges for services some expect to be complimentary. Those arriving by car are not always pleased with the parking costs, while others are less than impressed with the chargeable Wi-Fi, which is apparently too unreliable to warrant the cost.

From time to time, a guest complains of slipping housekeeping standards. Some apartments show signs of wear and tear with old furnishings and fittings that are falling apart. Stains on corridor carpets and mould in bathrooms suggest a little attention is required in some areas.

Negative reviews for this property are few and far between. While beach-facing rooms are blessed with beautiful views, they are subjected to noise disturbances, especially in peak season. Light sleepers in particular are bothered by the music from the bar that plays until late at night.
