RH Ifach Hotel

My only criticism is the lack of comfortable seating in the bar and lounge areas. There are a few sofas, but they are taken very quickly. The lighting is too bright in the bar area. No where comfortable to sit and enjoy a drink and have a conversation because the entertainment is in the main lobby, and it's loud. The restaurant furniture reminds me of a canteen environment, but the choice of food is very good. It's a great location and the staff are friendly and very efficient. Cyclists with bikes using the lifts cause a bit of congestion, although it's a fantastic area for the cyclists.

Its our second long stay here. The food is excellent and the staff are lovely and engaging. Service is great and the rooms are spotless. There is nothing not to like about this hotel.

My wife and I just returned from a five nights all inclusive stay. This was our second time at this hotel, the first time being in February this year. All I can say is that we were not disappointed. We returned after an amazing experience earlier this year and, even though the hotel was a lot busier this time, it did not disappoint. The biggest asset is the staff! Friendly, helpful and willing to put up with some idiot German Brit who is trying to speak Spanish... Well you all deserve a medal, not only for the service you are providing but also for being a group of patient Spanish teachers. I would like to specifically mention Angela, the bar lady, who is just true to her name. The restaurant: The food is exactly four star, not more and not less. In February the hotel was quiet, so timing wasn't a problem. This time it was busy and we found that by just waiting an hour, after the restaurant opened, we got the best of both worlds. Quieter and all the selections freshly presented. I know people moan about the "vegetarian labelling"-well, grow up. The food was tasty and varied, and this morning we got a packed breakfast because we had to leave early, much appreciated. The location: My wife has mobility issues and walking uphill is a struggle. Leave the hotel to the right and you are at a beautiful beach, leave to the left and you can walk around the lagoon or continue to the harbour or main beach. A taxi or bus also takes you to the old town, if you are not too good on foot. The rooms: We paid the upgrade and had a view of the Ifach mountain from the fifth floor. The room was clean and the mattress superb. The entertainment: I nearly weed myself when I saw the itinerary. Almost the same line up as in February and brilliant it was. If entertainers manage to gage the audience and make little adjustments then the evening is perfect. The overall verdict is five stars from us, for what it advertised as a four star hotel. We have stressful lives and go away to have a few days of no hassle and being looked after. RH Ifach delivered on all fronts, again. A big compliment to all the team.

We enjoyed our 11 night stay at this hotel. A good 4* standard our room was spacious & had a good sized balcony. We had a superior room & these are situated on the 4th & 5th floors. Th food was a decent standard for mass catering (buffet style meals) & a good choice for most tastes. We were half board so I cannot comment on the all inclusive tariff. Drinks were reasonably priced & a good Rioja was about 15 euros in the restaurant. The pool area was quiet as was to be expected in November but it was still warm enough to sunbathe. The only bit of constructive criticism would be a separate bar in the hotel in winter, as this is combined with reception & when busy was loud & echoed especially when the entertainment was on at night. All the staff were professional & friendly, especially the bar staff who were very good. The hotel is well situated for both of Calpe's beaches & both promenades are 5-10 minutes walk away. A hotel for return visits.

We had room 1502. The bed needs a new mattress, both my husband and myself had an awful night. Room very tired, ceiling and wall had a damp problem. No soap in the dispensers. Balcony huge crack above door and outside light no cover. Very tired room. Staff were lovely and breakfast amazing. Will not stay again as sleep is everything to us. We work hard to have a nice relaxing room break. I did leave a note in the room.
