Looking For Paradise, Gran Alacant Overview
Looking For Paradise is located in Gran Alacant, Spain. Rated 9.0 out of 10 based on 2 guest reviews.
Looking For Paradise is a family-friendly holiday stay in Gran Alacant, Spain, set on Avenida de Polonia 156 within the Urbanización Costa Hispania area. The appeal here is practical comfort paired with outdoor living: you can cool off in the swimming pool, unwind on the terrace, and use the BBQ facilities for relaxed meals when the weather is right. Air conditioning helps take the edge off warm days, and private check-in/check-out keeps arrivals and departures straightforward.
The layout suits groups who want space, with family rooms and features designed for younger travellers, including baby safety gates. Guests also highlight the ease of travelling with pets, since pets are allowed, and the property’s non-smoking policy is helpful if you’re sensitive to indoor smells. Parking is a plus for road-trippers: free parking is available, and there are offsite parking options with discounted rates.
From recent guest impressions, the overall rating of 9/10 (from two reviews) suggests a stay that feels well matched to what people are looking for—comfortable base, outdoor downtime, and the freedom that comes with having your own pace. One common theme in small review samples is that the property works for real travel plans, not just short stays.
If you’re planning days out, you’re within reach of Santa Pola Salt Flats at about 9 km and the Castillo Fortaleza de Santa Pola around 10 km, with Playa de Arenales del Sol roughly 7 km away for beach time. Cabo de Santa Pola viewpoints and the lighthouse area are about 12 km, ideal for a scenic drive and a longer walk. Best for families and pet owners who prefer a road-trip rhythm and want pool-and-terrace downtime between excursions.
