The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the views and location but consistently grumble about the noise and extra costs.
INNSiDE by Meliá Alicante Porta Maris
$150-250/ νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want the absolute best sea views in Alicante and don't mind paying extra for the privilege.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- Unbeatable location sandwiched between the marina and Postiguet Beach
- Every single room has a terrace with a water view
- Two outdoor pools (one heated) plus a high-end spa circuit
Γρήγορη Ματιά: A stunning visual experience from the balcony that's slightly let down by thin walls and a steep bill for breakfast.
Αξιολόγηση από @katie_bullock: I stayed in the Suites del Mar wing and honestly, I didn't want to leave. The open-concept tub facing the ocean was the highlight of my trip. It’s the perfect spot if you want luxury right in Alicante without the noise.

Reality check
That 'amazing breakfast' costs €28 per person, and the 'free' wifi doesn't make up for the lack of a coffee machine in standard rooms.
- You live for a balcony sunset with a glass of wine
- You want to walk to both the beach and the Old Town in under 5 minutes
- You appreciate a modern, 'bleisure' aesthetic over traditional Spanish decor
Καθαριότητα & Συντήρηση
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally efficient, though some guests report missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly sparkling, but a recent review flagged 'grotty grout' in the walk-in shower—check yours on arrival.
- Maintenance: Modern and well-kept, though wear and tear on carpets in hallways is visible.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and high quality. No complaints here.
- Odors & scents: Fresh, signature Meliá scent in the lobby; no lingering smoke smells reported.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές
Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.
Is the pool heated?
There are two outdoor pools; one is often heated in cooler months, but the true 'indoor' heated pool is part of the paid spa circuit.
How much is breakfast?
It is approximately €28 per person. It's rated highly for variety, but many guests find the price steep.
Is there parking on site?
Yes, there is an underground garage for ~€21/day, but spaces are tight and it fills up.
Can I check in early?
Official check-in is 4:00 PM. Early check-in is rarely guaranteed without a fee, so drop your bags and hit the beach.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome for a fee of around €55 per stay, and they even get a welcome kit.
How far is the beach?
You are practically on it. Postiguet Beach is a 2-minute walk from the lobby.
Εσωτερικές Συμβουλές
- ✨
Join the MeliáRewards program before booking; it often knocks 10-15% off the rate or gets you a late checkout.
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast one day and walk 5 minutes to 'Sip and Wonder' for excellent specialty coffee and brunch.
- ✨
The 'pillow menu' is real but you have to ask for it at reception—it's not always advertised in the room.
5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The 'Sea View' and 'Marina View' are different—Marina side can be noisier with boat traffic and bars.
💡You might have to wear a swimming cap in the spa pool (common in Spain, but catches tourists off guard).
💡The bathroom layout in some rooms is 'open concept' with glass partitions—privacy can be limited.
💡There is no iron in standard rooms; you have to call housekeeping to bring one up.
💡The elevators can be slow during peak breakfast hours (9:30-10:30 AM).
