El Pla del Real Holidays from AU$1,000

Great hotel in a great location.

At first glance, one might think things are sletch: wrong. Pull on the metal bars on the outside.door. someone will let you in the next set of doors. There's a keypad on the right with a buzzer. The young woman managing reception was superb and helpful. The rooms are very modern, spacious and clean. My wife and I were happy with it. You can also use their laundry and borrow a beach umbrella. I found street parking very easily on the main street south of the apartment, past the traffic circle, across from the Marina. The huge, sandy beach is a 5 minute walk away. There is a tram stop (Dr Lluch) into Valencia 2 minutes away. Metro and trams work well. They stop running about 10:30 or so. You can ask A.I. about specific schedules and stops. Taxi costs €12 from Valencia to apartment. The neighborhood is safe and authentic. There are plazas to the west of the apartment with plenty of eateries and bars. Walj around the neighborhood and enjoy the variety. If you want a really good experience with food and service, check out Taska la Reina, very near by. There's also a fantastic gelato place a few doors down. Have a great time. Valencia is outstanding.
