Reaching YOUR HANDS
The Censal Hotel is right in the centre of Villajoyosa, opposite the Valor chocolate shop and the Censal city park. This popular park is all that stands between the hotel and the main beach. An unbeatable location which means that guests can enjoy the town’s commercial area and all its services, and also access the beach simply by crossing the park. Getting back from the seafront is even easier, since there are escalators in the park to avoid climbing up the slope. Just two minutes will get you from the beach to the hotel, almost without having to walk! There is also a taxi stand at the entrance to the hotel.
