“Lovely stay.”

Great hotel. No complaints. Stayed in a room with a seaview on floor 9 for 4 nights. Good size, room for storage, comfy bed, big TV, modern shower and powerful hair dryer. Quiet at night. Kettle available from Reception. Good buffet breakfast. Reception staff very helpful. Outdoor swimming pool and sunbeds. Easy to get from and to the airport by C6 bus which stops at the Marque Castillo tram stop. 15 minutes walk to the centre. Places to eat and drink en route. By the castle. Would we stay again.... definitely 😁.

“Great stay at the Sercotel Alicante”

We were really impressed with this hotel. I have previously stayed at the Melia Alicante but it was booked out and we were a bit apprehensive about staying at the Sercotel Maya. However we had a brilliant stay the staff were nice and the hotel has been recently refurbished. In fact we couldn't fault the hotel.

“Lovely hotel”

Such a lovely hotel with great staff all of them were really pleasant. The room we stayed in 806 was fantastic the bed and pillows were so comfy. The hotel is up a hilly road but there is a bus stop outside and taxis take 5 minutes.

“Highly recommend Sercotel Maya!”

This hotel is perfect , for a tranquil break. It is only 15 mins walk to city centre and bus/tram options beside it also. The bedroom was very clean, air-conditioned and had a fabulous view of the beach. The staff were very helpful and courteous. Beautiful pool , and theres a small bar along side it.

“4 days in Alicante”

Me and my wife had a lovely 4 days in Alicante stopping at the hotel Maya. Got the C6 bus from airport which stops just up the road. And the number 2 goes into the cantre which is right outside the front door of hotel. But it's only 15 minutes walking to beach and centre. The hotel was great staff very friendly and the room with sea view was amazing. We stopped bed and breakfast and had some lovely meals out. But you can book lunch or dinner in hotel. Pool side bar also does great food.We would highly recommend to stop here.
