A Fantastic Holiday
Review Submitted: September 15, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
We stayed at the ‘House of Smiles’ at the end of August/early September. The accommodation really was as good as we had hoped - spacious, clean, comfortable and very well equipped.
On first impressions, Gran Alacant seems to be a mass of houses, apartments and villas but does offer a good number of local amenities such as shops, bars and restaurants. There is a regular and rather handy bus which stops right out side the accommodation and is ideal for visiting the beach, commercial centre (large supermarkets) and other area’s of Gran Alacant on it’s circular route.
A short walk will also take you to the main bus stops for either Santa Pola or Alicante and the accommodation provides an excellent base to make the most of what these two fantastic places have to offer. If you don’t want to or cannot hire a car then do not worry too much as the bus services are very good, frequent and offer excellent value for money.
The sun shone everyday and it was very hot during our stay, the air conditioning was very welcome and our kids found the basement a great place to ‘chill out’ during the afternoon heat, a great bonus was the fact that the swimming pool stayed open until around 10.30pm allowing for a cool, refreshing swim early/late evening.
All in all we had a very enjoyable holiday and really enjoyed our stay here, hoping that we will be able to visit again in the not to distant future!

Owner's Response: A review with comments and suggestions from clients does not only offer prospective clients an independent assessment of the property and area, it also helps us to keep everything up to standard and informs us what people look for in the accommodation. We would welcome more reviews as this give a better cross section of different points of view.
Thank you to all that have responded in this way.
