Just returned from holiday for a week. Hotel is very clean and the staff were so nice, especially the pool bar staff. Our room was amazing as we were on the 28 floor and the view was spectacular. The breakfast has so much choice we had something different every day. The location is great for the beach and all the restaurants. There are two pools and a children’s area. The infinity pool is heated and is amazing. If you want to visit Calpe stay at this hotel, you won’t be disappointed.

We stayed at ESTIMAR Suitopia and overall had a good experience. The hotel is modern and well maintained, with high-quality furnishings throughout. We had a sea-view suite, which was spacious, comfortable and offered excellent views. The staff were helpful and professional throughout our stay, and the rooms were of a very good standard. My main criticism concerns the smaller pool near the bar. In my view, this pool should be adults-only, particularly given the drop down to the road at one end. While there is a larger main pool available, adults also need a quieter space to relax. During our stay, the smaller pool was often crowded with children, likely because the water was warmer, which made it difficult for adults to enjoy the area. This would be a significant factor in deciding whether to return. The hotel has many positive features, but I would be more inclined to book again if the smaller pool were designated as an adults-only area. Overall, a good hotel with helpful staff, excellent rooms and suites, but the pool arrangements could be improved.

“Nice hotel, friendly staff, good location but disappointing pool atmosphere”

We came to this hotel as a family with children aged 14, 6, and 6 months old. The hotel itself is very good. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help.

We came to this hotel as a family with children aged 14, 6, and 6 months old. The hotel itself is very good. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The rooms are excellent, particularly when travelling with a baby, and we found them spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, the main disappointment for us was the pool area. The large pool on the first floor is poorly designed and can become extremely windy. The main swimming pool takes up around 50% of the space, but it is so cold that hardly anyone uses it. There is a smaller pool near the pool bar which is much warmer, but it becomes overcrowded because everyone gravitates towards it. The pool rules are also very restrictive. The lifeguards seem more focused on enforcing rules than creating a family-friendly atmosphere. There is no jumping into the pools, no ball games (even with small balls), no inflatables, no music, and no organised activities such as water polo or aqua aerobics. For our family, spending time around the pool is a major part of our holiday, and we are used to hotels where the entertainment team helps create a fun and lively atmosphere. The hotel does not offer an all-inclusive option. Drinks are reasonably priced, with a beer and cocktail costing around €18, but this can quickly add up. One issue that particularly disappointed us was the kitchen facilities. When booking through Jet2, the photos clearly showed a kitchen area, which was one of the reasons we chose this hotel as we were travelling with a baby. However, upon arrival we were informed that use of the kitchen came at an additional charge. We therefore had to pay an extra €170 to access facilities we believed were included. The kitchen operates on a separate electrical supply from the room, allowing the hotel to activate or deactivate the appliances as required. Overall, this is a good-quality hotel with excellent staff and accommodation. However, I would recommend it more to adults or couples looking for a quiet, upmarket, and relaxing holiday. Families with children who enjoy a fun and lively pool environment may find it less suitable.
