The Viva Blue is set back from the main road between it and the Albufera wetlands, so just a short hop to the beach. Along the road side of the hotel are a few restaurants like the Indian New Delhi and Oasis. The maze - El Laberinto - is also just a short walk over the main road by the beach.

By coincidence I had to drop into the Viva Blue earlier, so checked the breakfast price - 9 euros for a buffet style. 50% discount for under-12s.

Thank you so much for that, did it look like a nice complex?

Oh yes, it's a terrific hotel. They proudly display this gold award thing in the foyer. I can understand why.
