This was my third visit to Oliva Nova. I fly in from Canada and stay there a few nights to recover from jet lag before proceeding with travels in Valencia region. Rooms are spacious and spotless. Staff are friendly. Buffet breakfast is top quality and keeps me going all day. White sand beach is perfect for long walks to clear away the cobwebs. Thank you Oliva Nova. I’ll be back!

We only spent one night here but we loved it! Absolutely beautiful grounds and facilities. Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Highly recommend !
Stayed at Oliva Nova 20 years ago, this trip was just as good if not better, the staff also handle the problem of no hot water for 8 hours with great professionalism and a smile

This is a nice hotel in a large complex. Unfortunately the resort was very quiet and a number of the restuarants were closed.
This was my second visit to Oliva Nova and I will return again. It is the perfect place for R&R. I stay there to recover from jet lag. Rooms are spacious and sparkling clean. Balcony views of sunrise are stunning. Breakfast is fresh and satisfying. The golden sands are five minutes away. Perfect! (Especially during Covid.) Thank you to the staff. 🙏
Great room. Very clean. Lots of channel choice on the TV. Huge bed. Lovely buffet breakfast with lots of choice. Good sized balcony.
The couch turns into another bed and it wasn't really comfortable to sit on for a long time. But normally, you are not spending so much time in your room.
Not easy to find at first but once you know which side road to take, its a breeze from the main road into Oliva. You really need a car though.

Don't recommend
The service at the front desk isn't very good. Will never stay there again.
The staff were not very accommodating. The air conditioning didn’t work. We were encouraged to eat out by the staff.
Never slept because of the heat. Would never go back there
One of the worst hotel experiences of our lives.
When we were checking in we were given a very hard sell to try and get us to upgrade and spend an additional €70 per night. We politely declined they then tried to argue that we were on bed an breakfast only when our reservation was clearly for half board and then they said we would need to pay €32 to use the spa for 90 minutes, this isn’t stated anywhere on hotels.com unlike other hotels. Our room was in a state of extreme disrepair with the curtain hanging off the wall, the lights not working and the toilet running (it is my belief they put us in this room to convince us to pay for the upgrade). We needed to shower before dinner and the repair guy was in our room so we went to ask reception how much longer they would be and could we change rooms so we could shower, they refused to let us meaning we had to go to dinner without a shower. The buffet dinner at best could be described as average and the atmosphere in the restaurant was that of a morgue. They closed the beach resort (one of the main reasons we visited) the day we were there despite it still being in there season. No pool towels are provided despite the hefty price tag again unless you upgrade.
When we checked out the bill was also wrong with items added which clearly were wrong. Leaving this hotel was the highlight of staying at it.
