Hotel Almirante Alicante is the only hotel with direct access to Alicante's San Juan Beach, and has a large outdoor pool.
San Juan is the Costa Blanca's longest beach, at 6 km long. The hotel is a 10-minute drive from Alicante city centre, and 20 minutes from the airport. There is free on-site parking, and a tram to Alicante stops 100 metres away.
Each modern, air-conditioned room at the Almirante has a flat-screen satellite TV and a private bathroom with amenities. A safe is available for free.
The Almirante’s Pocardy restaurant serves a buffet breakfast and offers Mediterranean cuisine for lunch and dinner, including rice dishes and fish. You can enjoy a meal on the outdoor terrace, with music in the evenings. There is also a bar.
Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Hotel Almirante Alicante is best for beach-loving holidaymakers who prefer to step directly onto the sand and lounge by a large outdoor pool. Glowingly reviewed by guests, it offers direct access to San Juan Beach and three on-site restaurants. A notable drawback is its location, which is ten minutes by car from the old town, and it gets busy during the high summer. Pricing data is not provided.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 5 hotels we list in Alicante is 8.8.
What Guests Loved
- The hotel opens straight onto the sand at Playa de San Juan, the widest and least built-up of Alicante's beaches, without a road to cross.
- A large outdoor pool sits within the grounds, and a fitness centre is available to guests year-round.
Things to Consider
- The old quarter, the Explanada and the marina are a tram ride or a ten-minute drive away, so this is not a base for walking out to tapas in the evening.
- Family rooms and direct beach access draw a mixed crowd in July and August; expect the pool area to be at its liveliest then.
Should you book it?
Book it if you want
