    Friendly and welcoming hotel!

    rating28 May 2026

    Just returned from stay at Medplaya Alba Beach, very impressed with hotel and staff who were friendly and welcoming. Hotel was spotless. Maids came every day to refresh room. Pool area was clean with plenty of sunbeds but they could do with renewing as they were not very comfortable.We stayed breakfast only so cannot comment on lunch or evening meals.Breakfast was good with plenty of choice.Will definitely return! Had a great time!

    Birthday treat

    rating03 May 2026

    On arrival, I have to say the receptionist was anything but pleasant but that was not a reflection on the rest of staff as they were courteous and polite. Rooms were clean although the bathroom could be doing with some up dating and although some people may like a bath I personally dont and I dislike when shower is included, wothin it. That's just my preference though. Tea/coffe making facilities and a mini fridge also included in our room. Breakfast had loads of choice, including freshly made pancakes and fried eggs, so nothing was left sitting. It was a bit noisy at peak times but thats to be expected in a large environment. I would stay here again, although it's a good half hour walk to harbour and central shops/bars. There are restaurants and shops also close by, it just depends what you are looking for. Guest Service Manager, Atención al cliente/recepción at Medplaya Hotel Alba Beach, responded to this review Dear guest:Thank you very much for your feedback.We are sorry to hear that your first impression at reception was not as pleasant as expected. The service and friendliness of our staff are usually highly appreciated by our guests, so this comes as a surprise to us. We truly appreciate your kind words about our staff and are pleased to know you found your room clean and well equipped. We also take note of your comments regarding the bathroom, as we are continuously working on improvements and renovations throughout the hotel.It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the variety offered at breakfast, especially the freshly prepared options. As you mentioned, peak times can be a bit busy, but this is quite common in larger hotels.Thank you as well for highlighting our location and nearby amenities, which can suit different preferences depending on what our guests are looking for.We would be delighted to welcome you again in the future.Best regards,Guest Service Manager

    A "Maravilloso" Stay at Medplaya Hotel Alba

    rating23 Apr 2026

    My mum and I just returned from a 6-night stay at the Medplaya Hotel Alba, and I honestly couldn't fault it. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing mother-daughter holiday. From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome we received made us feel right at home—or as they say in Spain, como en casa.The Room: Views for DaysOur room was impressive. It was spacious enough for the two of us to sleep comfortably and get ready without tripping over each other. The bathroom was great for showering after a long day in the sun, but the real highlight was the lovely balcony.The Views: We had stunning vistas of both the sparkling blue sea and the rugged mountains.The Vibe: Sitting on that balcony in the evenings with the Mediterranean breeze was pure felicidad.Impeccable Standards & ServiceI have to compliment the hotel on its impeccable cleanliness. Everything was spotless, from the lobby to the corridors. But what truly makes this hotel special is the staff.Every employee we passed had a smile and a warm "hola" for us.A special shout-out to the bar manager, who was so attentive and kind that he became almost like a friend to us by the end of the week. ¡Muchas gracias!Dining & EntertainmentThe food was another high point. Breakfast was more than enough to fuel our day:Continental options: Fresh pastries, fruits, and meats.The Fry-up: Perfectly cooked hot options.And more: There was such a variety that we never got bored.In the evenings, the relaxing vibe throughout the hotel was lovely. We particularly enjoyed the Flamenco dancers—the passion and energy of the baile was a fantastic touch of local culture.Location & Final ThoughtsThe proximity to the beach is unbeatable, making it easy to stroll down to the sand whenever we felt like it.Thank you, Medplaya Hotel Alba, for a really enjoyable holiday. We left feeling refreshed and very happy. Would we return? ¡Sin duda! (Without a doubt). Thank you for the memories! , Dueño at Medplaya Hotel Alba Beach, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you so much for your wonderful review.We are truly delighted to know that you and your mum enjoyed such a relaxing and memorable stay, feeling “como en casa” from the moment you arrived. It is lovely to hear that you appreciated the spacious room, beautiful views, cleanliness, food, entertainment, and especially the friendliness of our staff.Your kind words mean a great deal to us, and we will gladly share them with the team.We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable holiday.Kind regards,Guest Service ManagerMedPlaya
