Villas Dulcinea is one of the best-rated places to stay in the south of Alcossebre. Unlike the apartment blocks in the centre, here each home is a three-storey townhouse, with its own enclosed parking and access to a shared pool among gardens. This page summarises, independently, where it is, what it is like and what its guests say on the public portals.
Where are Villas Dulcinea?
Villas Dulcinea is in the El Moro, Tres Platges and Manyetes area, the southern part of Alcossebre's built-up coastline, south of La Romana beach. It is an area of residential developments, quieter and more open than the centre, which guests describe as very quiet and close to the sea and the coves. On Booking, the location scores 8.7 out of 10.
The beaches in the area are very different from one another:
| Beach | Size | Type | Worth noting |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Moro | 300 × 30 m | Fine sand between rocks | Lifeguards, showers and toilets; Blue Flag 2026 |
| Tres Platges | 400 × 35 m | Fine sand and pebbles | Three small linked coves; unsupervised bathing area |
| Manyetes (Tropicana) | 400 × 35 m | Sand to the north, pebbles to the south | Quiet atmosphere, dunes; Blue Flag 2026 |
Further north, La Romana beach (500 m of fine sand, accessible and with a Blue Flag) is linked by the Senda Litoral to Carregador and the promenade.
Advantages of the area:
- Peace and quiet and a residential atmosphere.
- Varied coves and beaches a short distance away.
- Your own parking, without depending on the street.
Drawbacks mentioned by some guests:
- The supermarket is a little far away: it is worth doing a big shop on arrival.
- The centre, with the promenade and the widest choice of restaurants, is to the north, past La Romana beach and Carregador.
What are Villas Dulcinea like?
According to the portals and reviews, Villas Dulcinea is a development of new, spacious three-storey townhouses. Among their most frequently cited features:
- A shared pool and pleasant landscaped areas.
- Enclosed parking for two cars per home, very useful for groups or families travelling in two vehicles.
- An upper terrace with a barbecue, one of the details mentioned most often.
- Equipment: dishwasher, air conditioning and wifi (which scores 10 on Booking).
- App access: the doors are opened with an app.
Some guests also point out things to bear in mind: the kitchenware is scarce, the check-in and check-out times are tight and late check-out is charged for, and the railing on one floor strikes them as unsafe for small children. Because of the natural surroundings, one guest mentions ants in the kitchen.

Our verdict
Villas Dulcinea stands out for offering something unusual in Alcossebre: a house-style home, new and spacious, with its own parking and a pool, in a quiet part of the south. The criticisms concern operating details (kitchenware, times, doors) rather than the accommodation itself.
Strengths
- New, spacious three-storey townhouses.
- A pool, gardens and enclosed parking for two cars.
- A barbecue on the upper terrace and good equipment.
- High, stable scores on all the portals.
Weak points, according to some reviews
- Scarce kitchenware.
- Tight check-in and check-out times.
- A railing to watch with small children.
- A supermarket that is a little far away.
Who is it ideal for?
- Groups of friends or large families who travel in two cars and value having space spread over three floors.
- Families with older children, who enjoy the pool and the coves.
- Anyone looking for peace and quiet away from the bustle of the centre.
With babies or crawling children, the stairs and the railing mentioned by some guests deserve attention.
Tips if you choose Villas Dulcinea
Based on what is most repeated in the reviews, these ideas will help you organise your stay:
- Bring some kitchenware if you are going to cook every day: pans, serving dishes or specific utensils you use at home. It is the most frequent complaint.
- Do a big shop on arrival. The supermarket is a little far away, and with parking for two cars the logistics are simple.
- Bear in mind the check-in and check-out times and, if you need to leave later, ask about the conditions with the operator when you book.
- Download and try the access app before you arrive, in case there is a problem opening the doors.
- With small children, check the railing on the upper floor and plan how you use the terrace and stairs.
- Make the most of the barbecue on the upper terrace: for many guests it is one of the best moments of the day.
Townhouse or apartment: what changes in the south
In the El Moro and Tres Platges area, apartment blocks with a pool, such as Las Brisas or Alcalà Blau, sit alongside townhouse-style homes like those at Villas Dulcinea. The practical difference is the space spread over several floors, the private terrace with a barbecue and the own parking. In return, there are more stairs. If you are travelling with older people or anyone with reduced mobility, a ground-floor apartment or one with a lift may be more comfortable.
Around and about from the south
- Coves and beaches a short distance away: El Moro, Tres Platges and Manyetes, and La Romana a little further north.
- Senda Litoral: a wooden walkway between La Romana beach and Carregador, good for a sunset stroll.
- Alcossebre market: on Tuesdays, from May to October, in the promenade area.
- Further south: Serradal (L'Estany) beach, pebbly and very natural, with a signposted dog area.
- Serra d'Irta: north of the town, from the lighthouse and Cala Blanca, start walking routes such as route 2 (12.8 km, easy) and bike routes such as the Ruta del Cranc to Peñíscola (13.2 km). In summer, entering the park's coast by car requires a prior booking on the GVA Parcs Naturals app.
- Inland: Alcalà de Xivert (~9 km), with its 68 m bell tower and Xivert castle in the hills.
