Ibi in Los Alicantos, Southern Spain
The Hotel Plata in Ibi is a most welcoming, clean & secure hotel in a pleasant light industrial town on the edge of the Font Roja (Red Spring) Nature Park. Both "Buenavetura's" (father & son) are very friendly & couldn't be more helpful, with Buenaventura Senior providing a number of bound, laminated walking guides, with a great number of the walks being walkable directly from the hotel. "Junior" speaks excellent English as he is currently schooling in England. Our room was excellent, decked out in black marble (as is a lot of the hotel) with bathroom complete with a double jacuzzi. Breakfast is excellent, with fresh squeezed orange juice, excellent strong coffee & a fresh fruit salad to die for - variously kiwi fruit, orange segments, banana, melon, apple, pear, etc, along with jamon, queso, & tostados. You will also find the excellent "Mi Rey" tapas bar a short walk from the hotel; please give our regards to Ramon (the young owner) & Andrea one of the waitresses. It is a great family-friendly place & we were there for Epiphany, which was great fun. Don't muck about with a small cerveza, go for the "cerveza grande" & you'll end up with a goldfish bowl on a stem! The wine list, is, as you'd expect also good value. Enjoy.
