Alicante's BEST Penthouse w/ Stunning Terrace: 2 BR Dream Home!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! We're diving headfirst into Alicante's BEST Penthouse w/ Stunning Terrace: 2 BR Dream Home! – a place that promises paradise, and let's see if it actually delivers, shall we? This isn't just a review; it's a journey, a quest for the perfect Spanish escape, complete with sun, sangria, and hopefully, a nap or two without the screaming toddlers. (Fingers crossed!)
First Impressions: Arrival and a (Slightly) Unorganized Start
Okay, so the accessibility. This is HUGE for me. I have a friend with mobility issues, and finding truly accessible places is always a headache. From what I can see, the building boasts an elevator, which is a massive win. But I need to dig deeper to confirm proper wheelchair access in the penthouse itself. We are talking about the BEST penthouse, and the best should be the best. Accessible means more than just getting to the door. I'll need to check with the hotel directly for the nitty-gritty like door widths, bathroom configurations, and if there are any grab bars. Fingers crossed, because this could be a game-changer. (I'm already seeing some good signs: the elevator is mentioned, which is at least a starting point).
The check-in/out? They offer contactless. Nice! Makes things simple, and in these COVID times, who doesn't appreciate minimal contact? And private check-in/out? Even better. Avoiding those long lines is always a plus!
Location, Location, Location (and Internet Woahs!)
Alright, let's talk connectivity. According to the specs, we are looking at Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and Internet access – LAN. Amazing! In theory. In practice, I've been burned before. I once stayed in a "luxury" hotel in Rome where the Wi-Fi was slower than a snail on Valium. Hopefully, they've sorted this out. I'm a digital nomad, and my livelihood depends on a reliable connection. I'll need to check the Wi-Fi speed. No bueno to be down here with slow internet.
The Room: The Dream Home, or a (Slightly) Overstated Promise?
The list of room amenities is insane. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? YES PLEASE. Coffee/tea maker? Praise the heavens! But the really exciting part? The Stunning Terrace. That's the heart of the matter, isn't it? A perfect terrace is a must-have for the perfect Alicante getaway.
Now, let's talk about the potential downsides, because let's be real, nothing is perfect. A lot of fancy-sounding features, like "bathrobes" and "slippers," can be a bit…meh. You get your slippers dirty while getting ready, you put on the bathrobe, and get a tea stain in it. I want to know if a hotel actually cares. Are the toiletries decent? Are the towels fluffy (this is CRUCIAL!)? We need to know! And, of course, the interconnecting room(s) available is great if you're traveling with family, but if you're looking for peace and quiet, that could be a problem. Soundproofing is listed, but how good is it?
Food, Glorious Food (and a Potential Disaster?)
The dining options are…abundant. A LA CARTE IN RESTAURANT! Buffet in restaurant! Asian cuisine in restaurant! My mouth is watering just reading the list. I'm also loving the restaurants, the poolside bar, and the snack bar. But more importantly, the breakfast in room service. That is GOLD.
I'm also thrilled about the alternative meal arrangement, the vegetarian restaurant and there's also a room service [24-hour]. I have dietary restrictions, and catering to these restrictions makes a world of difference. I'm also a bit skeptical. Buffet is fine, but are the ingredients fresh? Is the food actually good? Sometimes, these big buffet spreads are just a quantity over quality situation. However, I am happy to see free bottled water.
Relaxation, Rejuvenation, and the Questionable Sauna Experience
The list of ways to unwind is impressive: Fitness center, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Massage. Okay, I'm officially drooling. A pool with a view is a must. And massage….oh, yes, please! I like to start my day with a relaxing massage.
I am always on the look out for a Spa/sauna. However, I hope the spa is actually good. I've been to some "spas" that were basically glorified locker rooms. The Steamroom is also a big bonus.
Cleanliness and Safety: Pandemic Paranoia (and a Bit of Relief)
Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Room sanitization opt-out available… Okay, they're taking this seriously. I appreciate the effort. Hand sanitizer is everywhere. And Staff trained in safety protocol? That's reassuring. I need to see the proof. I want to feel safe, not stressed.
For the Kids (and the Babysitting Service!)
Babysitting service? Family/child friendly? Kids meal? This place GETS it! If you're traveling with the little ones, this is huge. So many hotels treat kids like tiny, noisy inconveniences. The fact they cater to families is a massive win.
Overall Vibe (and My Gut Feeling)
Okay, so far, the Alicante's BEST Penthouse w/ Stunning Terrace: 2 BR Dream Home! sounds amazing. It hits a lot of my critical points: location, food, and potentially that amazing terrace.
I'm getting a good feeling about this place, but ultimately, I need to experience it myself. I need to see the terrace with my own eyes, eat the food, and confirm that the Wi-Fi actually works. The devil is in the details.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's travel itinerary. We're diving headfirst into the chaotic, sun-drenched, slightly-burnt-by-the-sun reality of a trip to that "Ático terraza espectacular" in Tabarca, Alicante. Buckle up!
Day 1: Arrival & That Glorious Terrace… or Bust
- Morning (ish - let's be real, after a flight): Arrive in Alicante. Airport chaos? Oh, you know it. Finding the car hire place was a trial by fire (seriously, why are European car rentals always tucked away in the bowels of the industrial estate?). But, triumph! We’ve got a little tin box that hopefully won't crumble on the Spanish roads. The drive took longer than expected because I got distracted by a field of sunflowers (sunflower ADD is a real thing, people).
- Afternoon: Finally arrive in Tabarca. The ferry ride? Seasickness almost got the better of me – I swear those waves were mocking me. Reaching the island, it's like stepping into a postcard. White-washed buildings, the smell of the sea, and the promise of that terrace. Finding the apartment… the "spectacular" part was spot on, but "ático" meant "climb five flights of stairs with luggage." Note to self: pack lighter next time.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: The Terrace Revelation. Honestly? The terraza… it lives up to the hype. I mean, seriously. View for days. The sea a shimmering, turquoise dream. I instantly forgave the staircase. Popped open a bottle of cheap Cava (priorities, people!) and just… sat. And breathed. And felt the weight of a stressful year melt away. I think I might have shed a tear (don't judge). Followed by a tapas scramble at a local bar, where I accidentally ordered an entire plate of calamari. Lesson learned: "poco" means "a little" not "the entire ocean's supply."
Day 2: Island Exploration and "Holy Guacamole, These Waves!"
- Morning: Okay, time to be a tourist (ugh, the word). Wandered the island. So pretty. So white. Snorkelled with a ridiculous amount of enthusiasm (my mask kept fogging up, so there might have been some frantic flailing). The water's crystal clear, but the fish were surprisingly shy. I saw one very sassy looking fish.
- Afternoon: The Sea’s Fury (and a Broken Thong). I decided to be brave. “I’m going to swim in the sea!” I declared with utter confidence. The waves looked playful. Until I went in. Suddenly, I was battling a furious ocean, getting tumbled, and spitting seawater for a solid five minutes. And as a cherry on top, my favorite thong broke. I ended up looking like a drowned rat with a wardrobe malfunction. Good times.
- Evening: Sunset drinks on… you guessed it, the terrace. Watched the colors explode across the sky whilst feeling slightly seasick still. Tonight we're eating paella. Pray for me, I'm a terrible cook.
Day 3: Day Trip to Alicante (and the Great Gelato Disaster)
- Morning: Drive to Alicante (again, the car rental!). Alicante is a bit of a contrast after Tabarca – busy, bustling, and full of, well, people. Walked along the Explanada de España, the mosaic-tiled walkway. So picturesque. Felt like a proper tourist, even with my slightly damp hair.
- Afternoon: Gelato Mishap. "Let's get gelato!" I declared. Found a promising-looking gelateria and ordered a pistachio cone. Lovely flavour. I took a big bite, and then… SPLAT! The gelato, in a moment of cruel irony, decided to fight the laws of gravity. Suffice to say, I spent the next twenty minutes looking for a bathroom and trying not to look like a melting, pistachio-covered disaster.
- Late Afternoon: Back to Tabarca and the terrace. Because, really, what else is there to do after a gelato-related low point? We opened ANOTHER bottle of Cava.
Day 4: Diving Deep (and The Great Olive Oil Crisis)
- Morning: Spent the morning trying to deep dive. Was actually okay at it. Saw an octopus!
- Afternoon: Olive Oil Catastrophe. Decided to cook a simple meal. Spaghetti, olive oil, garlic, chili flakes. Sounded simple, right? Wrong! Somehow, I managed to spill a whole bottle of lovely, expensive olive oil all over their (gorgeous!) kitchen floor. It was like a glistening, slippery skating rink. I spent the rest of the afternoon frantically trying to scrub and apologize profusely. The owner will probably hate me.
- Evening: Dinner at an amazing restaurant where I did not break anything or spill anything.
Day 5: Farewell, Tabarca? (Maybe Forever)
- Morning: One last glorious sunrise on the terrace. Trying to be all Zen and peaceful, while secretly stressing about the impending journey home.
- Afternoon: Packing and Reflecting (and More Cava). Packed. Squeezed in one last terrace session, just to savor it. This place… it’s got a hold of me. I’ve loved it. I’ve messed it up. And I’ll probably be back, hopefully without the gelato and olive oil incidents.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Ferry back to the mainland, the drive to the airport. Bye bye, paradise. At the airport, I ordered a large glass of wine and started planning a return trip!
Alicante Penthouse Dreams: Your Questions Answered (Probably!)
Okay, spill the tea. Is the terrace *really* as good as it looks in the photos? Like, for real-real?
Alright, let's be honest. Photos are liars, aren't they? They always seem to find the *best* light, the most flattering angle. But… in this case? Yeah, the terrace is ridiculously good. I walked out there for the first time, and I think I actually gasped. It's breathtaking. Seriously. I'm talking, 'almost-ran-back-inside-to-get-my-sunglasses-because-the-sheer-brightness-was-overwhelming' good. And listen, I’m picky. I've seen terraces. I've *lived* on terraces. This one... it's an experience. My first morning there, I swear I saw a seagull wink at me as I sipped my coffee. It's THAT kind of terrace. But be warned, the neighbours can definitely *see* you. Spent the first night trying to figure out how to discreetly hang a string of fairy lights. My engineering skills are... lacking.
Two bedrooms, huh? Perfect for a couple. Is the space comfortable? Or is it cramped and pretending to be luxurious?
Comfortable? Yeah. CRAMPED? Absolutely not! I hate that "studio-apartment-posing-as-a-villa" vibe. This place feels airy. The layout is actually thoughtful. Not like some places where you trip over furniture just to get to the kitchen. I'm a notoriously clumsy person (ask my spouse, they'll confirm), and I haven't face-planted once, which is a miracle. The master bedroom, though... Wow. Big bed. Big windows. My inner princess was very, very happy. Look, I spent two months in this penthouse and it never felt small. If you're looking for space to actually *live*, rather than just exist, you've found it.
What's the neighborhood like? Is it noisy? Close to the beach?
Okay, the location is *gold*. So, the beach? Easy distance. Walking distance. Which is crucial, because parking in Alicante? Forget about it. It's a competitive sport. The neighborhood felt safe. I walked back from doing some grocery shopping at 10'clock at night, and I never felt nervous. Noisiness: It's a city, so you'll hear some things. But nothing truly awful. I'm a light sleeper, and I didn’t need earplugs. Now, the *cat cafe*… that's a whole different story. I spent a glorious hour there. They're definitely worth a visit and are within walking distance.
Seriously, does the kitchen have actual appliances? Or just some decorative microwave?
Oh honey, the kitchen is legit! Proper appliances. I cook... occasionally. Let's just say my culinary skills are 'enthusiastic'. The oven worked wonderfully, and there's a dishwasher for easy cleanup from disastrous attempts to bake. The space is actually set up well, to be honest. I managed to make paella, although my Spanish is a work in progress, so it was more 'paella-ish'. More than enough utensils, and a good amount of storage space. The fridge is big enough to contain all my snacks. I was prepared to hate the kitchen but, honestly, it was a joy.
What's the "vibe" of the place? Modern? Cozy? Over-the-top minimalist?
It leans towards modern, but it's got soul, you know? Not sterile. There are little touches that make it feel warm and inviting – a comfortable sofa that practically begs you to curl up with a book (or a bottle of wine, no judgement here), some interesting artwork. It doesn't feel like a showroom. It felt like a *home*. And can I emphasize the comfortable sofa enough? Because I may or may not have spent an entire afternoon reading and napping on it. It's welcoming, it's stylish, but mostly... it's not trying too hard. You can just... relax. And that's priceless.
What could be improved? Be brutally honest!
Okay, let's get critical. Because nothing's perfect. The Wi-Fi wasn't always the most reliable. There were a few moments where I desperately needed to video call my cat and... buffering. The elevator in the building is a bit... characterful. Sometimes, it made noises. Loud noises. But hey, I'd take a quirky elevator over climbing six flights of stairs any day! And look, I'm reaching here. The only other thing? I wanted to stay longer. That's more of a 'me' problem, though. Maybe they could add a robot that makes coffee to the terrace? Just throwing it out there.
Any hidden surprises I should know about?
Oh, yes! They're keeping the best detail a secret. Seriously! There's a *closet*... no, a *massive* walk-in wardrobe. Maybe two. The details of this place are honestly amazing and made me feel like I was living in a five-star hotel. As a person who's always had a tiny bedroom, the wardrobes were absolutely awesome.
Would you rent it *again*? Knowing what you know now?
YES! A thousand times, yes. In a heartbeat. I'm already checking my calendar to see when I can go back. Honestly, I need to. It was the perfect balance of incredible views, a comfortable space, and the feeling of being truly *away* from everything. I recommend to everyone, go. Now! I feel like I'm starting to sound like an advertisement. but seriously? This is the real deal. If you're looking for a dream getaway, an Alicante adventure, book it. Just... maybe don't book it when I want to go.
