Alannia Costa Blanca — Hotel in Crevillent

We stayed here as we couldn't find anything else around the area. This is a massive site and quite impersonal too, but it has everything here including shop, spa with gym and swimming pool, outdoor pools, mini kids club, arcades, bar, restaurant, tennis and an events area in the main plaza, the list goes on and on but be warned as you have to pay for it unless you are a long term stay. The pitches are in rows & rows, and seem spacious, separated by a small  hedge.  We were on a comfort plus pitch which has water and electricity. The cost was reasonable with an ASCI card too but not if you wanted to do activities.

There are lots of  sanitary areas on site and they  are  big.  Separate mens and women's areas each with showers, toilets and basins.  The showers are quite spacious but only 1 hook and a small ledge for your clothes.  The shower head in my first shower was poor and needed cleaning so choose wisely,  but the water  pressure is good and it  was hot with adjustable temperature.  The sanitary area is clean and I saw cleaners in regularly cleaning the toilets etc always very friendly and courteous too.  The dishwashing area is really big, and the water is very hot which is great.  There is very good recycling on site too separating paper & card, bottles and cans and general landfill.and there are bins dotted all round the site.  The site is well maintained.

WiFi is awful across the site, unless you want to pay for it, and it's expensive too.

If you have a dog (s) there is quite a spacious dog area for them to run off  lead which is quite nice. Locally there is a nature reserve about a 40 min walk, dogs are allowed on leads and there is a nice walk around it to see the flamingos about 2hrs 30 in total, or you could drive there.  Another good walk is just around the campsite looking at all the rigs, there are some pretty impressive plots, and worth seeing at night with all the lights too.

Apart from the size and the fact it's so commercial, it's ok but what also put a downer on our stay was the noise. We had a  group of youngish families arrive as a group  on Thursday and the men particularly  liked to talk loud at night and into the early hours,  shame they didn't consider others around them, we love a drink and to be socialable but at 2.30am it was a bit much. We also had people behind us in a caravan who played their music very loud all morning, luckily we were leaving that day and so it didn't bother us to much.

This is not our style of camping at all, but if you like big commercial sites with lots of amenities, and lots of people around  then this could be for you.  It served  a purpose for us on route for 2 nights but we wouldnt return unless we had to, and definitely not at a weekend when...

The campsite resort is okay i guess there is no privacy the hedges on the pitches are practically dead the while campsite is a frying pan wjen we got to our pitch it was a gatbage dump from the past peolple which also shoes that the staff dont care for the pitches where i k ow that its the responsibility of the people that were there before but simple pitch checking would be nicely seen. There is heavy over crowding in the main pool as outsiders also use the pool the gym is not worth it im a 15 year old soon to turn 16 in 3 weeks and although the gym is for 16+ a 3 week gap to 16 and not be let in is absolutely unreasonable especially as I mentioned that since I play rugby and my season starts in a week and I train regularly in a gym so I know how to be respectful in a gym I think this is all unreasonable so don't even bother as I wasn't treated in the nicest way by staff saying that they don't care and told me to leave.the tahiti pool is nice as it's exclusive only to people that have bought any sort of accommodation but its pretty boring only providing you with a pool. When it comes to other sport facilities I was very happy with them and when it comes to events for the kids in the evening it's not worth it as the campsite claims to be international it really is not as everything is in Spanish not a single bit of languages such as German French English nothing at all only Spanish and there's a huge bias for competitions as only Spanish children seem to always win them. DO NOT BUY FROM THE SWEET SHOP IN THE PARKING LOT as for 4 medium sized sweets it was roughly 4 euros and the cashier is very unpleasant and not nice. For the toilets you can see that the staff try to keep them clean but there's just so much disrespect from the people there it's absolutely disgusting this morning there was someone's boxers in the male toilets full of fences dragged out into the middle out of the cubical absolutely vile and disgusting. The campsites location is also in the middle of a highway so you're confined to the campsite being forced to spend money and the pool photos are €400 for 23.I really don't recommend this resort it's very over rated and doesn't live up to its apparent 5 starts definitely wont be coming back it was a...

The good: Nice overall, with great swimming pools and big enough bungalows The night shows were quite good There's always something to do Friendly staff

The bad: I haven't seen so many mosquitoes and wasps in my life, and I have spent full summers in a little village in the mountains since I was a kid, swimming in wild rivers- They don't sell water anywhere but the bar, and it'll cost you 2,40€ per liter. In a place like that, so hot and full of kids, water should be sold anywhere. But the kioskos where they sell ice cream and candy don't sell anything liquid. Nothing at all. So you have to wait in line and compete with people asking for beer to get your kids some water. Also, they claim the whole place is all about sustainability, but they don't offer tap water, just bottled water. Which is not very sustainable, and also it doesn't comply with the newly approved bill that makes it mandatory to offer free tap water. Food was terrible. I ordered salmon with vegetables. It came half cooked, and the veggies where literally burnt and overcooked. If you want something well/recently cooked, ask for fried stuff, that's spot on. Anything else, good luck with that. Children playgrounds under the sun with no shade at all. Bungalows are FAR from the main area, and you have to walk around 10-15 minutes under the sun with nothing to protect you or provide some shade. One of the beds was broken, and the maintenance guy never came to fix it. WiFi is terribly managed and super slow. I am guessing not too secure either. Location is a bit random, too far away from gas stations, or other restaurants outside the resort. So unless you want to try your luck and get your car, you're stuck there. Parking space within the resort is scarce (you need to take your car into the resort and try to park somewhere close to your bungalow) Bungalows are all squeezed together, very close to each other, so you hear everything going on around you.

All and all, we had a good time, but it needs a lot of improvements to be family friendly. It's not enough to entertain, they should consider kids and their needs (water, shade, mosquitos/wasps hazard,...
