Our contract with Expedia included transfers from and to airport. This was confirmed by Liz, US telephone agent a few days before leaving for holiday. In the event, transfers were not available and we had to pay €38 for taxis both ways. Having to collect keys from an office 200 metres away, whilst remainder of family waited at the resort with luggage, was an inconvenience. Also, the office was not identified by a building number and not easy to find. Finding a welcome note in the apartment would have been a nice feature but there was nothing only notices about onerous fines for non compliance with rules. Quality and quantity of cutlery and crockery in the apartment rather basic and well worn. No tin opener and cork screw of no use. Handle turned on stem making it impossible to remove a cork from a wine bottle. Absence of a dish cloth and tea towel. Toaster rather tired and dirty. Rather peculiar lounge furniture, with numerous small drawers but not really functional. Shower head fell off holder as soon as water was turned on. No plug for basin in bath room. Excellent swimming pool in complex but start of availability rather late at 10.30am. Lifeguard presence good. Security on site excellent. Proximity to superb beach a big plus. Very few bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity of complex. Local bus service excellent. In summary, a rather tired apartment in a good complex and local vicinity.

Clean and comfortable

Brilliant location next to the beach. Apartment not flashy but perfectly clean and comfortable for a holiday base and kitchen well equipped. Good clear instructions given for after hours check in but did need an extra bit of help to locate the apartment. Security man was very helpful and we got by with his English attempts and my Spanish….towels were provided which I wasn’t expecting but my towel, whilst clean, was full of holes.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
The position of apartments were good. Just a short walk to the beach walkway. Arrived after office hours, so collection of keys in the dark was a bit stressful. Apartment could do with some updating and decorating. Never saw a cleaner in the five days we were there. So had to make do with what towels and toilet rolls etc. had been left for us. No instructions on how to use the air conditioning/heating, and found it a bit cold at night. Walls were thin and could hear every movement from apartment above. The drains were a bit smelly , especially in the mornings. But overall, we got what we paid for, so not complaining. Enjoyed our stay at Alboraya and would visit again.

disapoint about terms and conditions on stay

Terms and conditions were very different from those which I received in the booking confirmation. It was written that I would pay the full amount on arrival at the location. The Agency, which has a contract with Hotels.com did take off 20 % money from my account after booking confirmation. Hotels.com does not know how to explain who did took the money from my account, although I have ask that I want to know if they collaborate with Sole mare e vento. After two times confirming that they do not cooperate with this agency I canceled my bank card and report to the police. For eleven nights I did want to admit one night gratis –this was written on booking conformation. On agency did not know about that bonus. – I made complaint and they did give me than one night gratis. The cost of the journey by taxi would be € 6 per person per accommodation, which is not true, because we for 5 people in one direction have to pay 50 Euro (2 taxi). I am very disappointed by the way the various conditions upon booking and then the accommodation. Personal in resort does't speak english at all.

Not a hotel...more like camping in Detroit

the "hotel" is a sub-let apartment located at Mare Nostrum 15. Not 7 (as listed on the confirmation). There is no metro in the vicinity. The entrance is VERY difficult to find and more difficult to be granted access. We were responsible for washing our own towels, providing toiletries, maintaining the room, emptying the trash cans, etc... The HVAC did not work. The room's wifi was not available (confirmed by reception). The pool is only open after June. Cafeteria staff were the most wonderfully part of this stay.

Smelly pillows

The apartment complex is a bit hard to find. The parking is very limited and the big iron fence makes one wonder if it's a safe place. Lots of tagging in the surrounding walls. It's funny to see all of people's dirty items on the inner corridor. The place was clean but the pillows, blankets and towels smelled. But it was very close to the beach, walked right across to it.

This place was ok. Our apartment was big, a 2 bedroom for 2 people. Full kitchen was great, same with fridge and freezer, washing machine also. Location was just off beach however it was a long walk to any supermarkets etc. about 4km each way. Wifi was also only available in reception area. For the price very acceptable.

Large, clean and modern apartment with great views. Excellent location for beach, but not so good for shops, port or town. Lovely big pool, though sun loungers would have been a nice addition.

Okay I guess!

Booked this 'hotel' apartment for two adults and three children. Trying to get hold of the keys for the apartment was a task and a half (took 90 minutes to locate the place to pick up the keys. Located on the outskirts of Valencia. Perfect location, close to the beach. Not many close-by amenities... a few cafes. No supermarket for miles around. Hotel itself was very nice, with nice pool, private, secured entrance. Hotel room was nothing exceptional but met the purpose of our stay. Contract provided did not give any information regards departure time. We expected 48 hours for the two nights we stayed there. Rudely disturbed during our lunch on final day and asked to leave within 30 minutes (very difficult to do with three young children). Overall, served its purpose. Our next hotel in Alicante was a 4* Golf Resort with 100% better accommodation.

comfortable, clean, simple

Since we arrived in off season, we were upgraded to a full 2 bedroom apartment suite on the top floor. The view was decent, but we were not facing the water. We had 2 of our own private terraces. One was equiped with a patio set. The apartment was clean, comfortable, there are no complaints. The building was in very close proximity to a bus stop to get to the old town. The security of the building was also top notch. The only inconvenience was that the front desk/reception was located in another building which was a 10min walk away, so if we needed something (ie. our remote for the TV did not work) we need to make the trip over. There is a lovely beach located directly infront of the resort/condo, but the main public beach (malva-rosa) beach was about a 15-20 min walk away along the boardwalk. Overall a good, safe and comfortable play to stay.
