Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- PopcornMonkeyReviewsWest Yorkshire, UK4,870 contributionsMy wife and I visited Alicante Castle and I have to say, it was fantastic! The viewpoint is truly breath-taking and awe-inspiring. You get amazing, stunning views across the sea and the city of Alicante, and the mountains to the rear. It's incredible to think that the whole structure was built so many hundreds of years ago. And the best part? Entry is free.
The only downside is that getting to the castle can be a bit tricky unless you take the lift from the beach area.
The lift is easy to find, right across from the beach, and very reasonable at €2.80 per person. There is minimal queuing, only a few minutes. but remember there's about a 5-minute walk through the tunnel from the lift exit to reach the actual beach.
But trust me, the climb (or lift ride) is worth it for the views alone. I would definitely recommend visiting if you're in the area.
My tip is that you bring some water and snacks with you, there is a snack bar at the top but it might not be open or it might be expensive for your taste.Written 21 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you open it in Maps and zoom out, you'll see the village's actual location.Written 28 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Peter L58 contributionsWe used the excellent tram system to visit Vila Joisa on the Benidorm Line 1.
The system is very punctual and clean and reasonably priced. We purchased our return tickets from the ticket desk in the station although there are self service ticket machine available at the station and on the trams themselves.
All the stations have clear signage with the time of the next tram, with destination, so it’s a good way to get around the area.Written 19 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The audio guide provides an interesting and informative insight into the history and culture of a truly fascinating building. Full of interest and atmosphere, the Bascillia is a wonderful, charming and extremely touching place to visit. The walk up to the top of the bell tower is a bit challenging but worth the effort because the views are spectacular.Written 11 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
