You won’t get any better view in Alicante (well, maybe from the Castle🤣)
The ‘Level’ by Melia is on ‘another level’.
We love Alicante AND this hotel.
Sea views (sunrise) and harbour views (sunset) room available…..
Rooms always clean and spacious.
‘Level’ means there’s free wine and beer and coffee and tapas and (6pm-7pm) a spirit hour.
Plentiful and worthwhile breakfast.
Terrace with pool is brilliant in summer months (shaded for 7months a year😞)
Our ‘goto’ hotel in Alicante…..

Great place to chill out with instant access to the beach and town. The Level is a pleasant place to start your day, with a brilliant breakfast offering in comfortable, airy surroundings and is also a super start to your evening too, with happy hour free bar and tapas. Altogether a super pace to stay and will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I just returned from out trip to Alicante. We stayed with The Level at Melia and really enjoyed our stay. We had initially booked the half-board but ended up cancelling that so we could try some of the food in the area. We really enjoyed our stay, and the room had some nice features, and amenities but there was a few cons.
Pro's
-Location, in walking distance to a TON of restaurants, shops, and near the beach
-Staff was very welcoming and accommodating
-The Level is adults only and includes some drinks, and snacks.
-The beach! One of the nicest beaches I have ever visited. Beautiful clear water, fine sand, no shells or rocks to step on, chairs available, stands with food and snacks near-by.
Con's
-Distance to the Level lounge. We were one of the farther rooms from the Level Lounge,
-Elevators never worked when we wanted to go down. Luckily, we were only on the second floor, so it wasn't much of an issue until we had to carry our luggage down to check out.
-My biggest complaint is the pool areas. It was probably in part due to the time of year we visited but both pool areas only saw a handful of hours of sun per day. And the chairs that were in the sun were already saved, even though no one was in them, by the time we came down to the pool in the morning ~10am. We ended up going to the beach and having to pay for chairs there.
-The restaurant at the hotel was very nice, the meal we had was very good and HUGE portions. But had a somewhat limited menu for us to have eaten dinner there all week, and all of the wine/ drinks available were an additional charge.
-The shower. We had booked a suite, and the ensuite shower only had a handled shower mounted very high on the wall. Because the shower isn't enclosed the water sprayed all over the whole bathroom every time. We ended up using the much side bathroom that had a shower head and was enclosed even though it was half the size.

I had high expectations of this place. It's not a bad place, I was just expecting more. This is supposed to be the high service, exclusive level. Our keys didn't work after check-in. We were at the end of the hallway. It's a five minute walk each way the corridor is so long. It all got sorted but the keys should have worked the first time. On checkout, i had to visit in person. Why not allow me to check out over the phone? The room is generally nice, recently redone. But they left out a light over the shower. We felt like we were showing in the dark. It's just the little things that take this place off my list when we return to Valencia. We're not sun worshippers. Read the other reviews if you are as you get about 2 hours of sun in the morning before it goes behind the building.

We stayed at the Level but did not eat at the hotel so we cannot comment on the food.
We liked the communal areas, especially the Level bar area over looking the sea and beach.
The junior suite was nice enough but not spectacular. It’s a very good hotel in a great location but not 5 stars.
