The resort sits inland from the coast in Orihuela Costa, at the southern end of the Costa Blanca in Alicante province, just above the boundary with Murcia. It is close enough to the sea to be a beach base and far enough back to be quiet, which is the whole trade it is built on.
Dehesa de Campoamor and the coves around it are the resort's local coast: sandy, sheltered, with a marina and a decent run of restaurants along the front. The resort operates a beach club there, which is the practical answer to the thing that puts people off inland resorts, namely that you end up driving to the sea and then looking for parking.
Two airports serve the resort. Alicante-Elche is the larger of the two with far more routes, particularly from the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium and Scandinavia. Murcia-Corvera is smaller and closer. In practice most owners fly into Alicante and drive down the AP-7 or the N-332.
Allow more time than a map suggests in July and August, when the coast road is busy.
Supermarkets, pharmacies, medical centres and the usual practical infrastructure are all within a short drive in Orihuela Costa. For anything larger, Torrevieja and Cartagena are both reachable, and Murcia and Alicante cities are a comfortable day out rather than an expedition.
A genuine mix, with strong British, Scandinavian, Belgian, Dutch and German contingents alongside Spanish owners. Enough people stay year-round that the resort does not shut down in November, which is not true of every development on this coast, and is worth checking wherever you buy.
