Tomate Rooms

Brilliant place to stay.Close to the shops, historical district and a short walk to the beach. Everything was spotlessly clean.The staff were friendly and helpful.The best thing was the availability of beach umbrellas, towels and toys for children.You could borrow these without a reservation and return when you were finished with them.The kitchen was well equipped and the apartment was spacious.

Stayed here for ten nights. Arrived late evening and let ourselves in via the key codes (asked for these the day before to be sure and they sent them). We stayed in one of the penthouse apartments (the one one the front) with terrace. It is on the fifth floor and the lift only goes to four so a short flight of stairs to climb. The apartment is very large with a sloping ceiling which you need to be aware of as you bang you head otherwise as you near the windows. The person who sleeps nearest the window needs to be the shortest!!! The apartment was very clean and we had an interim clean and change of towels/sheets as we stayed for more than a week. As others have said the place is very quirky with sealed concrete walls, astroturf, recalimed wood etc but we liked it. The air conditioning was good (although it did make the odd noise infrequently). The shower was excellent and we didn't use the bath (which is next to the bed). The bed was absolutely huge, at least seven feet wide, firm and comfortable (for us). Accessing the terrace isn't easy as the windows are only about 4-5 feet high with a step at the bottom and a sloping eaves outside to negotiate. Best way was the crab out sideways whilst bending over from the waist!! If you have mobility issues then you will struggle. The small kitchen has all you would want to cook (which we didn't) but you will have to bring all supplies, even basics like oil, salt and pepper. The location can't be bettered. In the middle of everything and yet still quiet at night due to it's height. We ate out all the time and Alicante has some great food options. I will review these separately. The people were lovely and sorted and minor problems promptly. We would certainly stay again!
