Tandem Pórtico Alicante Suites
We stayed on the top floor "Atico". Great apartment. Quite small inside, but nice use of space, and the balcony is huge, with an amazing view of the castle, and it's an absolute sun trap. We travelled at the end of November and got a good few hours of sunbathing on the balcony.

We stay here every time we are in Alicante. The staff are so friendly & helpful. The hotel is in an excellent location for exploring Alicante with lots of lovely restaurants and bars close by. It is only a few minutes walk to the beach too.
