Parquemar  

In Guardamar del Segura, Alicante, Spain — tucked into the Reina Sofía pine park and just 200 metres from a golden sandy beach. The city centre sits about 400 metres away and public transport stops right outside. Family-friendly and easy to reach from Calle Gabriel Miró.

This three‑story hotel (57 en‑suite rooms) was refreshed in 2013 and keeps a relaxed, pine‑forest vibe. Rooms have air conditioning, fridge, TV, hairdryer, minibar and balcony or terrace; accessible rooms and facilities are available. Expect a cozy bar and pub atmosphere and an air‑conditioned à la carte restaurant with a non‑smoking area.

Spa touches include a sauna, solarium and professional massages, plus a gym/fitness centre and pool/snooker options. There's a playground for kids, bicycle storage, laundry and room service. Paid parking is available on site — and you can practically wake up to sea‑breeze mornings, being so close to the sand.

Conference and meeting rooms with internet access, a TV room and lift make work trips simple. Free Wi‑Fi/wireless internet is available throughout public areas.

On‑site Restaurant GorkaBerri and an à la carte dining room serve guests, with a bar and pub for late drinks. The restaurant caters to special dietary needs and offers highchairs for families.
