The Small Village - Pool and Relax near the Airport, Gran Alacant Overview
The Small Village - Pool and Relax near the Airport is located in Gran Alacant, Spain. Rated 4.0 out of 10 based on 4 guest reviews.
The Small Village - Pool and Relax is a Gran Alacant, Spain stay set on Calle Monte de Santa Pola, 30, a practical base for travelers who want a quieter rhythm near the airport and the coast. With a guest rating of 4/10 from just four reviews, expectations should be managed; some guests have reported a mixed experience, so it’s wise to read the latest feedback before committing. The property’s outdoor pool and exercise/lap pool are the clearest draw for downtime, especially on warm afternoons when you’d rather swim than drive. Air conditioning helps keep indoor spaces comfortable, and free wired internet supports travelers who need to stay connected. The terrace is a useful extra for low-key mornings and evening relaxation.
In terms of getting out and about, you’re within easy reach of Playa del Carabassí (about 6 km) and Playa de Los Arenales del Sol (about 8 km), both good for beach time and casual coastal wandering. If you’re planning a day focused on the shoreline, Playa La Ermita is roughly 10 km away, offering another option beyond the main beach strips. For a broader change of pace, Santa Pola’s salt flats are around 17 km from the hotel, giving you a different landscape for a longer outing.
This place is best for solo travelers and couples who prioritize having a pool, a terrace, and straightforward amenities over a high-consistency guest experience. Families may find the area suited to beach days, but the limited review history means you’ll want to verify what matters most to your group.
Should You Book The Small Village - Pool and Relax near the Airport?
Not recommended based on the very low guest rating (4/10 from 4 reviews). Unless you find a strong deal and are flexible, the limited feedback suggests a higher risk of disappointment.
