Sunsea Village Maryvilla Calpe Reviews

We booked these apartments through the Travel Republic website and combined them with flights with easyjet flying out of Stansted from the same website and found the booking very straightforward.We hired a car from Victoria car hire on their website and again found them to be easy to book with and the car ready and waiting at Alicante airport.
(Very Cheap).The car was upgraded to a Renault Megane Scenic at no extra cost.

The trip from Alicante to Calpe is very easy and takes about 45 minutes on the motorway.The urbanisation Maryvilla where these apartments are situated are off the N332 road which passes by the top of Calpe.The apartments are situated in a delightful setting at the base of a valley. the area is full of lush vegitation and the gardens are lovely. The apartments are very quiet and are suitable for families and couples.On arrival we were allocated our apartments and we had to lodge a 90 euro deposit in case of damage to the apartment which is returned when you leave.

The apartments are basic but adequate with 2 double bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen,living room and balcony.There is a ceiling fan in all the living rooms.There are the usual items ie fridge kettle hob microwave. A safety deposit box and TV are available at extra cost.There is a nice pool and tennis courts and a gymnasium for guests to use. There is a restaurant on site and also snacks and drinks are available at the bar.When we were there the bar was not always open all day which was inconvenient but we then took our own drinks to the pool area and no one objected.The staff were polite and helpful and when we needed a phone for an urgent call to the UK we were told there were no public phones on site but we were allowed to use the reception phone at no cost to us, although we offered to pay.There really is no maid service as the linen is only changed once a week as are the towels and that is it. Having said that the apartments are cleaned when guests leave so are fine when you arrive, so if you keep them clean during your stay they are ok.

You definitely need a car to stay here as all shops and restaurants are several minutes away. There is a good range of places to eat in Calpe all to a good standard and at reasonable prices.
A good guide is 70 euros for a meal for four with wine in a nice restaurant, you can find cheaper if you hunt around and you will certainly find dearer if you wish.There are plenty of large supermarkets in Calpe and the prices are very reasonable for all the essentials including food should you wish to eat in.
There are some lovely little towns and villages to visit around Calpe and a trip to the mountains and Gudlahest is a must. If you collect Lladro figures, the shop in Guadlahest has the biggest collection we have seen anywhere.

Benidorm is only half hour away and well worth a visit just to wander and have a meal, make sure you visit a club with free entry and a good floor show, the one we went to had Shawaddy Waddy and the Beatles lookalikes and was absolutely great. If you want a good night out try the casino situated between Benidorm and Vilajoysa,it is two euros entry and we stayed from ten o,clock at night to five in the morning, if you go earlier there is a buffet on offer at a reasonable price and some nights a live show.
