Alpen 1 Arenal Peñiscola, Peñíscola Overview
Alpen 1 Arenal Peñiscola is located in Peñíscola, Spain. Rated 7.3 out of 10 based on 44 guest reviews.
Alpen 1 Arenal Peñiscola is a practical base for a beach-and-nature stay in Peñíscola, Spain, with the hotel address on Avenida Papa Luna e 133. With a guest rating of 7.3/10 from 44 reviews, it’s a solid option for travelers who want comfort and activities rather than a high-gloss resort feel. Reviews commonly point to the usefulness of air conditioning for warm days and the ease of getting around with a lift, which matters when you’re traveling with kids or returning from the pool. The seasonal outdoor swimming pool and terrace add a simple, relaxing rhythm to the day, especially after time on the coast.
The location works for both short beach breaks and longer outdoor plans: Playa Norte is about 2 km away, while the Castillo de Peñíscola is roughly 2 km from the hotel for history and sea views. If you’re keen on hiking, the Parque Natural de la Serra d’Irta is around 10 km out, giving you a greener backdrop for walks and lookout points. Cala del Moro sits at about 6 km, making it a good target for a day trip.
This hotel is best for families and active couples who plan to spend their time outside—swimming, walking, and exploring—then come back to a comfortable, non-smoking setting. The availability of family rooms helps groups stay together, and the on-site parking is a plus if you’re combining beach days with drives toward the natural park. For divers or anglers, the area’s outdoor focus fits well with the hotel’s fishing and diving-friendly vibe.
