Parador de Jávea

We stayed for a week at the end of June, at this beautifully located beachfront hotel. The view of the bay is stunning as all of the rooms overlook the beach and indeed the hotel’s beautiful gardens. If you are looking for a full-on, adrenaline pumped, pool- gamed hotel … this is not the hotel for you. Here you find a sophisticated, relaxed, refined vibe that suites couples and travellers wanting a quieter place to stay. Our room was large, clean, comfortable with a large bathroom and terrace overlooking the gardens and beach. What more could you want! Cleaned daily by friendly staff. The restaurant served a typically Spanish breakfast in a relaxed style. Good food every day - it helped if you had a smattering of Spanish to order the hot options as sometimes you didn’t always get what you were expecting! The pool is plenty big enough and secluded. No high octane music but ‘borrows’ music from the nearby beach bars. Always plenty of loungers and you can borrow the hotel towels, so no need to pack your own. Wonderfully warm water too. The only thing it lacks is a pool bar - you have to travel up to the hotel to get a drink. Maybe this is different in high season? The staff were always helpful. I would definitely recommend the hotel and we are considering Parador hotels for our next stay too.

Located in the heart of Javea / between the lively Arenal beach and the old port. The rooms are spacious and clean. It was our second stay there and we will return.

Great location by the beach . Beautiful gardens and terrace with views over the bay. Slightly faded and old fashioned but that adds to the charm
