H'S Beach in Torrevieja, a minute from Playa del Cura
H'S Beach is an accommodation in the centre of Torrevieja, in Alicante, a few steps from Playa del Cura. It offers rooms and studios with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and a restaurant. It suits couples, families or friends who want the sea a minute away, as long as parking does not bother them.

Mapiola is a travel blog: this is not the official website of H'S Beach.
Where H'S Beach is and what is around it
H'S Beach is on Calle Fragata, in the centre of Torrevieja, in the province of Alicante. Its great asset is the location, because the listing talks about a few steps to Playa del Cura, and several guests say the sea is one or two minutes on foot.
To get around the area, keep in mind that Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández airport is 44 km away. Among the excursions the listing mentions are the Salinas de Santa Pola Natural Park, 27 km away, and the Salt Museum, 31 km away.
What the rooms and studios are like
According to the description, the rooms are smoke-free and have a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, wardrobe, bedding and towels. All include free Wi-Fi, and some have a balcony.
Guests give more detail. One who stayed in a studio describes it as spotless and modern, with a fridge, microwave and kettle, and a small balcony with sea views. Another says their room had a private entrance, which gave them a lot of privacy. What I do not know is whether all the units are like that, because the data does not say.
A word on the name. Google classes it as a hostel, but the rooms described have their own bathroom, so I would not think of a classic hostel. The reviews talk about a guesthouse and a studio, and I would stick with that idea.
| The best | What to know |
|---|---|
| Beach a couple of minutes on foot | Parking is difficult, according to one guest |
| New, clean facilities | The restaurant is pricey for some |
| Staff who are attentive and well informed | Not every room has a balcony |
| Restaurant facing the sea | Only a few reviews on Google |
What guests highlight
H'S Beach has a Google rating of 4.9 from 7 reviews. There are few, but nearly all say the same thing.
- Closeness to the sea. This is the thing that comes up most, with comments that the beach is one or two minutes on foot.
- The service. Several guests highlight helpful staff, attentive to everything and happy to share information to make the most of the area.
- The facilities. They are described as new, clean and with everything needed for the stay, and the beds as very comfortable.
- The restaurant. One person says everything they ate was very tasty. One guest also notes that Paseo Beach, on the same seafront, belongs to the same owner, gives a 10% discount and stays open until 1 a.m.
What to know before booking
No place is perfect, and H'S Beach has two drawbacks that come up in the reviews. Better to know them before you arrive.
- Parking. One guest calls it terrible and says they spent more than half an hour looking for a space. If you are driving, plan for it and arrive calmly.
- Restaurant prices. The same person says they are very high. Another, however, had a great time eating there, so it depends on what you expect to pay.
- A small sample. With so few reviews, such a high rating should be read with some caution.
Who H'S Beach is for
I would choose it for a simple beach break, as a couple, with friends or as a family, especially if you prefer a new, clean place to a big hotel. The studios with fridge and microwave help if you want to improvise a breakfast.
I would leave it aside if you arrive by car and cannot stand driving around looking for parking, or if you want a very quiet place, because being so central I would not expect total silence. That last point is my inference from the location, not something the reviews mention.
What to do around Torrevieja
First comes Playa del Cura and the seafront promenade, which are right there. After that, the listing mentions walking and cycling in the surroundings and visits to the Salinas de Santa Pola and the Salt Museum.
If you play golf, the Las Colinas and Villamartin Plaza courses are about 13 km away, and Mar Menor Golf Resort about 42 km.
And if you want to carry on along this coast, on Mapiola you can look at the Hostal Ducal II in Gandía, or the Pensión Balcones Azules in Cartagena.
