Balneario de Archena - Hotel Levante

We have a lovely experience. I treated a friend for her 60th and booked an overnight stay. Our Hotel was lovely and luckily for us our room was ready when we arrived at about 1pm. We decided to go straight into the spa area which was not over busy so really enjoyed our first visit. If you stay overnight you have robes you can use and quite acceptable to walk around the complex in your robes and flip flops. If you have a padlock bring with you as will need one if you want to use a locker in the spa area. There are outdoor pools and an indoor area which has a lazy river which was actually more of a fast river so was great fun. We didn't go for any treatments or paid for the extra spa area and so can't comment on these facilities and services. We walked into the town which is not that far and flat and well lit at night and managed to find somewhere to eat at 5pm as most places only serving drinks until 7.30pm which is quite normal. We had breakfast the following day at the hotel which was great, lots of choice and really enjoyed.

All the staff were lovely, from the time we arrived until we left. Enjoyed dinner and breakfast. We were just doing a one night stopover on our travels and happy we went. It’s like a mini village and found it super chill; loved people toddling around in their white bathrobes, off for a swim, a spa treatment or just a cold beer. We didn’t, but everyone was just doing their own thing. We’d go back.

The pools were great, along with all the rest of the facilities. It was good for both adults and children. The access to the pools was reasonable as it was still possible after checkout. There were plenty of additional things as well that could be paid for, and pretty much everything that you needed was available on-site.

We had a fantastic stay, the spa was great fun you just couldn't not smile and laugh whilst floating along the moving river just loved this. We ate in the thermas restaurant none of us left a crumb on our plates. The breakfast was lovely and great choices we really stuffed ourselves. The staff were polite and helpful even after I knocked a glass of red wine over the lovely table cloth and my husband !!! We went to the casino bar and joined in the dancing with the locals. After reading previous reviews I was unsure what to expect I am so delighted we had this experience. We can't understand why people complained the food was spanish and delicious just what you expect in Spain. We stayed in the spa until 3pm the next day after checking out. Bring your own towels flip flops bathing caps and a small padlock for the locker. Just emerse yourself relax and enjoy!!!!

Spa was perfect and the rooms were lovely. We would return despite some of the negatives listed below.
