Novabeach by Mar Holidays, Puerto Marino

Novabeach by Mar Holidays is a family-friendly stay in Puerto Marino, Gran Alacant, Spain, set on Calle Canarias 6-2. The area’s big draw is the coast: you can reach Playa de Los Arenales del Sol in a short stroll, making it easy to build days around swimming, sun, and relaxed evenings. The hotel’s pool scene is a highlight, with an infinity pool and a heated pool for comfortable dips when the weather turns cooler, plus a hot tub/Jacuzzi for unwinding after time on the beach.

Guest feedback is mixed but helpful for setting expectations. With a 6.7/10 rating from just a few reviews, some visitors have mentioned that the experience can feel more straightforward than fully polished, while others appreciate the practical layout for families and the calm, non-smoking environment. Because there are only a handful of reviews, it’s worth aligning your expectations to what you value most: a beach-oriented base, family rooms, and on-site relaxation options.

If you’re planning day trips, Santa Pola Castle is about 6 km away, and the port area is roughly 7 km, where you’ll find more dining and waterfront atmosphere. For a quieter day, stick to the Gran Alacant coastline and viewpoints within a few kilometres of the hotel.

Novabeach by Mar Holidays is best for families and road-trip travellers who want a beach base with a heated, infinity-style pool and a hot tub, and who don’t mind that the review sample is small.
