I second what Dave said. Yes, you will hear some English but it is very much a Spanish town. You’ll hear as much French here as you do English.
They are very accommodating though. You may even find translated menus , however I read those at times & still have no clue what they mean! Lol
Gran Alacant , also nearer the airport by 5 mins, may be better for you if you’d rather be with more Brits.
Properties near the centre of town in a Santa Pola won’t usually have a pool so you’ll have to be a bit further out....which may equate to 15 minute walk or more. Doesn’t sound a lot unless it’s 28-30 degrees lol
I think you need to make a trip out for a couple of weeks and have a look at a few different areas. No point buying a place and regretting it as often sales take months to happen. Have a good look online ...I like the interface of Idealista.com, personally.
Without knowing your budget, there are are about 280 properties with 3 beds & a pool in the Santa pola area. Google map as much as you can. Narrow down your search area.
Definitely fly out and have a good look around before you do anything!
Good luck!
