Flew out to this hotel on 2nd May 2023. Bad start to the holiday arriving after 10 pm to NO food so had to order in a pizza!! Having spoken to the Jet2 rep a few days later, I understand that there will be something put in place Lovely hotel, two weeks of not having to lift a finger with great service from all the staff - particular thanks to Ziad, Victor, David, Olga, Laura who all seemed to work around the clock Few tips to enjoy your holiday more if in a standard room - tea bags, travel kettle, coffee, pegs (there is a drying line provided on the balcony) and coat hangers - two girls for two weeks and we had 8 in the wardrobe!! Storage is just about adequate for, I would say, a 7 day holiday but, suitcases do fit under the bed so can be used as extra drawers and both of our hand luggage pull alongs fitted on top of one of the units to use as drawers too so, with a little bit of creativity, you will be able to manage This is an old hotel so do not expect 5 star boutique finish however, everything is functional. Plenty of really hot water (except for a two day malfunction of the boiler) Balconies to standard rooms are only suitable for sitting out and are solid so feel a little claustrophobic. If you want more space, it is worth paying the extra to upgrade to large balcony. Our room overlooked the golf course - room 111 where the forward and side sea view were fabulous but to the right, some rather unkempt apartments that have seen much better days Food - you will not get fish and chips or standard bland British cuisine and it is served "warm" - usual all over the continent. Choice is second to none and if you can't find something you would like at breakfast, lunch or dinner that would be surprising indeed!! I've posted pictures of a typical lunch offering. Breakfast is just as large and you can bag yourself a full English!! Evening meals are bang on for myself and Daughter All inclusive package is generous with some odd restrictions - you can have a pot of tea served on the terrace but tea bags seem to be protected with staff lives :) You can eat from 8 am to 10 pm if you are so disposed!!! Meal times are long - lunch 1 pm till 3.30 pm, dinner 7.30 pm till 10 pm - there is a delightful sweet cart to take away something nice for later - lovely touch Tea and cakes are provided for all guests in the lounge area from 4 till 6 whatever board basis you have chosen. Lovely time to get to know fellow travellers This is not a "clubbing resort" and this hotel is not within easy walking distance to any clubs and bars - taxi to Garrucha or Mojacar Playa is around 12 euros The rocky beach is a few minutes pleasant walk Shopping - I would recommend Vera for the ladies with all of it's fabulous boutiques and prices are FAR lower than in the coastal towns. Be careful if you want to visit Vera playa as it is almost exclusively "Naturist" Hundreds of delightful, very confident sparrows seem to live in the grounds but feeding them is act
