Apartamento El Mar 2, Alicante Overview
Apartamento El Mar 2 is located in Alicante, Spain. Rated 5.4 out of 10 based on 24 guest reviews.
Apartamento El Mar 2 is a self-catering apartment in Alicante, Spain, set on 5 Calle del Catedratico Daniel Jimenez de Cisneros. The location suits travelers who want to base themselves in the city and move around for beaches, viewpoints, and old-town streets, rather than staying strictly in one resort zone. At a guest rating of 5.4/10 from 24 reviews, expectations should be calibrated: some visitors mention the practical side of the stay, while others point to inconsistencies that can make the experience feel less reliable than higher-scoring apartments.
The apartment is geared toward everyday comfort, with free wired internet for those who need to stay connected and non-smoking throughout. Practicalities matter here: parking is available with covered options, and the property can arrange discounted offsite parking rates, which helps if you’re arriving by car. If you’re planning day trips or want flexibility, car hire is available, and there’s also on-site golfing for a leisure add-on.
In terms of what you can pair with your stay, Santa Bárbara Castle is roughly 7 km away for panoramic views, while the Explanada de España and the Postiguet Beach promenade sit around 6 km from the apartment. The Central Market area and the Luceros square are about 5 km out, making it feasible to plan a full walk-and-dine route.
Best for couples, small groups, and solo explorers who prefer an apartment base with parking and internet, and who are comfortable managing expectations given the mixed feedback from previous guests.
