Hotel Allon Mediterrania

There is no need to make the sea part of your daily logistics here: Hotel Allon Mediterrania sits directly on Villajoyosa’s seafront promenade, with the beach immediately outside. You can come back from the water, take the lift upstairs and be on your balcony before your towel has properly dried. That is the basic appeal, and it is a practical one.

Air-conditioned rooms, a sea-facing café-bar, an outdoor pool and a buffet restaurant give you the essentials for a straightforward coastal stay. Couples can keep things simple with a sea-view room and a double bed, while families have dedicated room layouts rather than having to improvise around two adults and children. The hotel also has a 24-hour reception, so late arrivals do not require military planning.

The address is Playa Centro, Avenida del Puerto 4, in Villajoyosa, Spain. The hotel is beachfront, with direct access to Villajoyosa Beach. El Paraiso Beach is about 1.6 miles away, while El Torres Beach is roughly 2.3 miles away; Playa El Xarco and Raco Del Conill Beach are both around 4 miles from the hotel.

You are in town rather than cut off on a resort peninsula. Lescenari Tavern Restaurant is next door, Sole Mare Pizza is about a minute away on foot, and several cafés and bars are within a few minutes’ walk. Parque de la Barbera is around half a mile away. Benidorm is about a 20-minute drive, Terra Mítica around 15 minutes, and Alicante city centre about 16 miles away.

For two people, the sea-view double or twin room is the obvious choice if the balcony matters to you. It gives the room a useful extra dimension: somewhere to sit with a drink, check the weather and watch the light change over the Mediterranean without having to go downstairs. The premium double room is another couple-friendly option, while the junior suite gives you more room to spread out when a standard sleeping space feels too tight.

Families have a family room arranged with four single beds, and there is also a room designed for two adults and a child. The practical details are consistent across the accommodation: air conditioning for hot, salty return trips, parquet flooring, modern décor, a private bathroom with either a bath or shower, a hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. A flat-screen television with satellite channels, a minibar, a desk and free Wi-Fi cover the less glamorous but useful parts of the evening.

Room service and breakfast in the room are available when getting dressed for the restaurant feels like unnecessary administration. Balconies and sea views are part of the offer, but you will want to check the exact room category before booking if the outlook is important to you. Cots can be requested for babies, while extra beds are not available.

Food is handled in three distinct ways. The buffet restaurant has show cooking, which gives dinner a little movement rather than leaving you to negotiate a silent plate and a chair. Breakfast can be taken in your room, useful when an early start or a tired post-dive body has no interest in a dining-room routine.

For a drink with a view, the café-bar looks out over the Mediterranean. There is also a lobby bar with live music, so the evening can continue indoors without turning into a full expedition. The room minibar and room service add a fallback for those nights when the balcony, a cold drink and an early finish win the argument.

The surrounding promenade gives you alternatives on foot as well. A restaurant is next door, a pizzeria is around 300 feet away, and other restaurants, cafés and bars sit close by. No heroic taxi plan is required for a change of scene.

The outdoor pool gives you a second place to get wet without dealing with sand, fins or a timetable. Add the solarium and massage service, and the hotel covers the gentler version of a non-diving afternoon: a swim, some sun, then an hour when nobody expects you to be productive.

The beach is directly accessible for a slower spell beside the water, while the area also offers snorkelling, canoeing, windsurfing and fishing. On land, you can look towards cycling, hiking or horse riding, and a golf course lies within 3 km. These are options for using the coast and countryside around Villajoyosa rather than a programme of compulsory resort entertainment.

For a day away from the waterfront, Parque de la Barbera is around half a mile from the hotel. Benidorm’s parks and attractions are within driving distance, including Terra Natura at about 6 miles and Terra Mítica at around 15 minutes by car.

Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport is about 29 miles away by road, with a drive of roughly 33 minutes. Private parking is available on site, although spaces cannot be reserved. Car hire is available at the hotel, and the tour desk can help with local planning. Free Wi-Fi covers the hotel, while luggage storage is available if your arrival and departure times do not line up neatly with the room.

Check-in runs from 15:00 to midnight, and check-out from 07:00 to 12:00. Reception is open around the clock, which is useful for an arrival outside normal daytime hours. Children of any age are welcome; children aged 12 and over are treated as adults for the booking. Cots can be requested for babies, subject to the selected accommodation, and pets are not allowed.

The hotel has a lift, facilities for disabled guests, non-smoking rooms, heating and air conditioning. Laundry, dry cleaning and ironing services are available, as are packed lunches. Cash is an accepted payment method, so it is worth checking the payment arrangements for your booking before you travel.

Solar panels form part of the hotel’s installation, bringing on-site solar energy into the practical running of the property. It is a concrete measure rather than a slogan, and it sits quietly in the background while your stay remains focused on the sea, the promenade and the next meal.
