We booked this hotel for a 3 day relaxing break on the assurance on Booking.com was adults only. ITS NOT!! Within an hour of our arrival we were invaded by 4 coach loads of school children running amock, taking over the pool and the sound of screaming 12 yrs olds reverberating around the hotel. The hotels reaction was a shrug of the shoulders and that Booking.com shouldn't have stated it being adults only....it should be 'recommended for adults'...Still incorrect. We are NOT the only ones complaining! Because of this I would not entertain this hotel again.

We had a lovely time at the Sun Palace. I saw other reviews complaining about it not being a 4* hotel, but how could you expect this for the price? The hotel is spacious, air con works brilliantly (not too hot, not too cold), staff are helpful, breakfast buffet was plentiful. The hotel is approx 10 min downhill to the main shops/restaurants. It's a bit of a slog coming back up in the heat of the day, but it's a lovely peaceful setting and we never had a big issue with it. We took a coach transfer from Alicante airport via Benidorm. Albir is a lovely, low-rise seaside town compared to the high-rise intensity of Benidorm. You can walk to Altea in about 30 mins - pretty whitewashed old town on a hill. The Sun Palace was a lovely base for a short break. I'd go back.
