Hotel Meridional

Hotel is well located near the seafront and only a short walk to the busy town centre. Restaurants are modern and service was good. The hotel was operating a reduced menu as our stay was over Christmas.

Nice Hotel few pluses and minus. Plus room was lovely. Very clean and reasonable size. Glad we opted for sea view as the other rooms didn’t have much of a view. Bed really comfy . Chilly at night so nice heating but could not work out air con. Great views of beach which was walking distance. Minus. It’s a bit of a walk to the town but didn’t mind that at all Adverts say a pool no sign of any pool. Spa is just a whirlpool. Didn’t get much information when we arrived about local area. Restaurant confusing. Got the impression it’s set menus only so didn’t eat there. Asked if we could pay to keep our room for a few extra hours the day we were leaving but told no despite the hotel being quiet. Told we could if we had Al la carte menus but at 60 euro ahead decided to give it a miss. They came to clean our room very early the day after we arrived. Didn’t need it then. No sign of cleaners day after that when we could have done with a clean. Nice hotel but lacked the amenities we thought it would have . Staff not overly helpful.

It was a great stay near the beach. Clean rooms and great staff.

Nice little hotel front beach, lovely staff from receptionists to the all staff bar restaurant, nice clean room with amazing see view comfortable bed , cattle for coffee or tea in The room with complimentary water and the bathroom have all we need for our stay, air conditioner work perfect, just a little down on the space front bar not enough for all guest to take a drink and try to seat somewhere was a challenge both room was ready for the night dinner on the 24 of December so all was on top of each other, we decide to step outside but was very cold night so we decide to return inside ad all guest was all around try to found a space where put down the drinks, luck of atmosphere for a Xmas period just few decorations around, dinner wise was ok just for my test the combinations of some of it was a little to far, as a chef my self I don’t think the octopus go well with onions just don’t much for me and punch the fish and change his natural flavour, garlic extra virgin olive oil and a splash of lemon is all you need for it, maybe can play with a bed of herbs of mash potatoes or or mix little creamy potatoes to make it posh the main course was not enough hot and very very small portion again with out any complimentary vegetable or potatoes, the 3 way color and food on the plate always work on the eye and on the taste of any dish, but we speck with the Ladies waiters about, they apologise for it but was not necessary for us is just the way we think about food but we really appreciate it was a nice gesture from all restaurant staff, breakfast ok just I don’t get way there is a Nespresso coffee machine but not a hot milk machine to have a nice fluffy cappuccino just a cattle with hot milk inside. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we definitely will return when back in Guardamar, thanks to all from us Nino and Flavio room 405 ciaooooo
