My family stayed for 5 nights in the beginning of June 2012. The best thing about this hotel is that it is right on the beach. The rooms have not been updated since the early 70´s but at least ours was somewhat comfortable, except for the refrigerator which is placed right in front of the beds and makes an awful noise, so bring ear plugs. If you will be preparing meals in the apartments there is no oven. If you want views of the ocean you must pay an extra 8 euros per night. We booked our apartments with "Full Board" but I was very angry to find out that you must pay for drinks apart and after every meal. The buffet is above average but they tend to repeat a lot of things and many foods are fried. They really should change their coffee because it is the absolute worst I have ever had in my life. Very important if you have very young children make sure you take one of the lower floors. The balconies have a flower box that has a space where very young children could accidentally fall! So my wife and I had to always be watching our child on the balcony and it made us very nervous. I would recommend this hotel but really only for a few nights stay at the most. The beach in front of the hotel Playa de Las Fuentes is very small and has stagnant water on it which comes from underground springs. This makes the sand always damp so it never really drys out. It is really more like a beach you would find beside a bay. There is another beach 500 meters after the marina called Playa el Cargador which is far superior. Enjoy ;)

We picked this resort almost by default as we had first booked cheap flights to Valencia, only to discover that there were no resorts nearby. Benidorm to the south was Def. not to our taste, so we looked north instead.
We were amazed at how good value Alcoceber was. We went there on the May-June cusp, and the resort was still quiet, most of the occupants were the all year Spanish speaking elderly brigade. The streets are scrupulously clean, no drugs, crime and regularly patrolled by the police. The resort is more geared for the local tourists with only a few foreigners. The local deskfront workers only spoke smatters of English, which was just the way we wanted. The food and drink was tasty and very reasonably priced. A bottle of wine with a meal was €4.50 and a shared tapas meal with 2-3 beers worked out at a tenner a head. We were told that the place really kicks into action at the end of the month when the resort is hopping.
The Eurohostal could be considered as the higher standard of basic. It is well sited with a good sea frontage beside the harbour and the north beach, and has considerable parking facilities. The common facilities were a problem. They were all over the place with the link being a long meandering stepped corridor, having a threateningly low ceiling, progressing from inside, to outside, back to inside and down and up floors. The poolside bar and beachside restaurant were remote from one another. Our place did an all-you can-eat restaurant buffet at €11.50 a head, although we opted not to go there as there were so many places to eat. There was a basement nightclub which was due to open later in the month. Reception was large dark and dour, but clean. The poolside area was large, pleasant, grassy and clean; but there was an acoustic issue as all conversation was amplified by the form of the buildings. This wasn’t a problem for us as there were few guests during our stay. The entire complex had been given a coat of paint so the place looked fresh.
The studio apartments shared between 2 people only cost €12.50 PPPN. The apartments were neat and clean, although the furniture was sturdy but outdated. There was cooking facilities and a fridge, and air conditioning as an optional extra if the weather got too hot. The bathrooms were spacious and recently decorated with powerful showers large enough for two.
Overall we were delighted with our choice and would highly recommend it for those who would prefer a quieter holiday with good food, great value, and enjoy better contact with local Spanish hospitality.
