Magic Cristal Park

★★★Grupo Magic Costablanca · open all year

A 453-room three-star on Calle Ruzafa, by L'Aigüera park, sold Ultra All Inclusive with a kids' club, mini disco and a covered rooftop pool. It's 421 m from Poniente beach, 483 m from Levante and 537 m from the Old Town. It sits at number 139 in our ranking, near the bottom, and its recent reviews are falling.

Our verdictBook it only if price and the kids' club matter more than the room: families make up most of its guests. The catch is the building: cleanliness, the lifts and the rooms are the worst-rated things in recent reviews. We have no tracked prices for it, so compare carefully before you book.

Reviews summary

What guests say

3.9on TripAdvisor, 6,576 reviews
7.6Brenda score out of 10

We read the latest 200 Google reviews, posted between 25 Aug and 13 Oct 2026. 137 gave five stars, but only 78 of the 200 left any text, and those tell a harsher story: 43 gave one or two stars. Food (48 reviews, average 2.4), staff (45, 2.8) and rooms (44, 2.2) come up most. Cleanliness (28, 1.9), the lifts (21, 1.7) and value (11, 1.8) score worst, with guests describing a dated building, long queues and slow lifts. Recent reviews are slipping: the last 30 average 3.6, against 3.9 all-time.

Pool and sunbeds

Can you get a sunbed?

  • Solarium with a covered pool and jacuzzi
  • Water games and the Rifi Club play park for children
  • Daily entertainment for children and adults

Only 2 of the 200 reviews mention sunbeds. One says there aren't enough for a full hotel; the other describes a top-floor bar and sunbed area for adults. Neither is a ringing endorsement.
