Very good "resort" type hotel. Very friendly staff, clean. Would benefit from real access to sea with a beach and less concrete near the pools: More trees / green. Will come again, for sure.

A great hotel in a nice and quiet area just outside of La Manga. If you want nightlife around you don't stay here, it's in a quiet residential village and you need a car. The rooms are lovely, spacious, bathroom is big with great shower. What I loved about the hotel is the openness, the hotel has a big area in the middle with 3 pools and a massive area for chilling under pergolas when the heat gets to much. One area which needs improving is the food or more the keeping it hot .. most dishes are under heat lamps and some are not on so they get luke warm quickly. Fix the lamps and it would be fine. I would definitely stay here again.

The property itself is excellent. The rooms are well proportioned, especially the bathrooms, and 3 pools means there is plenty to go around. However the pools were very cold compared to the swimming pools in Benidorm the week before with similar sun cover and air temperature. Also the property seems to catch the wind excessively, there wasn't a day where your towel was safe on your sunbed from being blown away. The kids club wasn't promoted so we had no real idea if it was working it not - I personally think the resort is better suited to couples than families as the atmosphere is very relaxed (too relaxed if you've got young kids). The kids entertainment on the terrace starts too late (2230). The food was well prepared and presented, if you are into your Spanish themed dishes you will appreciate it, if you've a more British palette the eating in options are not really for you. The complex was extremely quiet the week we were there, weirdly so. The most people we saw at one time was about 50 in the restaurant, other than that there seemed to be more staff than customers. Overall it's a lovely relaxing hotel for older guests or those looking for peace and tranquility.
