Just as good second time around.
"Second trip here and after the first visit three years, nothing has changed. Even though it was high season it felt quiet. We had a relaxing stay. Comfortable beds, good aircon. Beautiful scenery. Great for families. Nice to be a little further away from the crowded area of Alicante."
