Choosing between an aparthotel or a hotel for your family depends mainly on your children's ages, how many days you're staying and whether or not you want to cook. In Alcossebre, both formats are represented on the seafront by two very different places.
What is an aparthotel?
An aparthotel is made up of complete apartments (living room, bedrooms and kitchen) that share hotel services: reception, pools, cleaning and communal areas. Alcossebre Sea Experience, the former Hotel Jeremías, is a four-star aparthotel with 90 apartments, most of them with two bedrooms.

When to choose an aparthotel
- You're travelling with babies or young children and need a kitchen, a fridge and your own routine.
- There are five of you or you want two separate bedrooms.
- You're staying a week or more and don't want to eat out every meal.
- You're after a relaxed atmosphere, with a spa and a rooftop pool for the adults.
When to choose a hotel
- You want a break from cooking and a buffet.
- Your children are mini club age and love the entertainment.
- It's a short break of just a few days.
What they have in common
Both face the sea and are a short walk from the centre, the promenade and Las Fuentes marina. And both make a great base for things to do in Alcossebre with kids. If you opt for the aparthotel, family hotels in Alcossebre has all the details on pools, ages and space.
