Why this destination is a must-visit
Roquetas de Mar: endless beaches and the authentic charm of Almería’s coastline
With its incredibly flat coastline and enviable year-round climate, this former fishing village has evolved into a complete holiday destination without losing its authentic seaside soul.
What you can’t miss:
-
Huge beaches with space for everyone: Forget about waking up early to claim your spot on the sand. Beaches like Aguadulce or Playa Serena are kilometres long, wonderfully wide and covered in soft sand that’s comfortable underfoot. There’s more than enough room to relax at your own pace.
-
Santa Ana Castle and the Harbour: The cultural heart of Roquetas de Mar. This beautifully restored 17th-century fortress can be visited free of charge. Right next to it, you’ll find the fishing harbour, the perfect place to watch the boats come and go while soaking up the local atmosphere.
-
Punta Entinas-Sabinar Natural Park: A stunning natural paradise that begins where the hotels end. Expect endless virgin dunes, pine-lined trails and peaceful wetlands where spotting wild flamingos is surprisingly easy. A beautiful contrast to the beach atmosphere.
-
The paradise of free tapas: Just like throughout Almería, every drink comes with a complimentary tapa and, you usually get to choose it yourself from the menu. Head to the harbour area or the town centre and enjoy fried fish, traditional migas or slow-cooked meat dishes for little more than the price of a couple of beers.
Our recommendation: If you’re travelling with children, or simply love animals, the Roquetas Aquarium is a fantastic visit. It’s the largest aquarium in Andalusia, where you can see everything from sharks to interactive touch pools with starfish.

Hotel ideal para ir con niños, disfrutan muchísimo de las instalaciones de la piscina y del mini club!
The air conditioning works well but lacks power for hot months, both in the bedrooms and in the dining room.

Han sido unos días estupendos, la peque se lo ha pasado increíble en los toboganes y con los animadores. Tener salida directa a la playa es una gozada tambien.
If I had to pick one thing, the variety at the buffet — but everything was high quality.

To improve the buffet: more variety, and better ventilation — it gets very hot both in the dining room and throughout the facilities. Also, supervision of the sunbeds is needed, because before the pool opens there are no sunbeds available.

Camas muy Confortables y Cómodas.
Toboganes Geniales Niños y Adultos. Mi hija 5 años y niño 9 años. Bufet (cogimos pension completa muy bueno)
Repetitive meals.
Try, for example, to group people of the same nationality together (we had English guests who at 1 a.m. had children awake shouting, playing and running in the corridors, and who were awake before 8 a.m.).
Comidas Repetitivas.
Intentar por ejemplo agrupar gente de la misma nacionalidad juntos (nos tocaron gente inglesa q a la 1 de la noche los niños despiertos chillando y jugando y corriendo por los pasillos y despiertos antes de las 8 de la mañana).

Es un hotel perfecto para familias. Los niños disfrutan con los toboganes y los animadores y los padres pueden relajarse y disfrutar también. Las habitaciones han sido reformadas.
The evening performances were a bit shabby compared with others I’ve enjoyed on previous occasions. There is a barman in the bar (the oldest one) who is very rude to customers.
Las actuaciones de la noche han sido un poco cutres con respecto a las que he podido disfrutar en otras ocasiones. En el bar hay un camarero (el más mayor de todo) que tiene muy malas formas con los clientes.

Si vienes a este hotel es por las piscinas y los toboganes para niños, o porque encuentras un ofertón comparado con otros.
Como pareja sin niños: si queréis comer bien, buscad otras opciones. Aquí no se come bien, simplemente te alimentas. La idea en vacaciones es disfrutar un poco de la comida y este no es el sitio.
La habitación, en general, bien: colchón y almohadas muy cómodas. El baño con plato de ducha estaba bien, aunque le faltaba algo de presión. Las vistas a la piscina, bastante bien. Personal amable. Ubicación buena: la playa está a pie de hotel y hay bastante aparcamiento público alrededor.
The worst part, without a doubt, was the buffet. The quality of the food and the way it was cooked left a lot to be desired: many dishes were bland or burnt (especially on the griddle, because there is only one person and they can’t keep up) and there was very little variety overall. There was no hot milk at breakfast and you had to heat it in the microwave; it’s not a major issue, but for a 4* hotel it seems odd. The coffee was dreadful (IKEA coffee would win a gold medal next to this); after breakfast I had to go to the pool bar and pay €1.70 for a decent coffee. The orange juice tasted like a poor-quality Sunny Delight; I was surprised that a 4* hotel doesn’t have a fresh juice machine and serves those industrial juices that aren’t worth much.
One lunchtime they served razor clams and many still had sand; the prawns tasted musty (they were mixed together and some were overdone). On the day they served beef cheeks I got my hopes up, but when I tried them they were hard as rock instead of melting in the mouth. One day they served grilled chicken fillets and that was the most enjoyable thing — that shows the standard.
Common areas such as the lobby and the dining room are very hot; the air conditioning could be much better.
The lifeguard team couldn’t offer a solution when I had a problem: they opened the first-aid kit and didn’t even know what was inside, which shows very little interest.
The entertainment for the youngest children (4 years old) is very limited, since they have to stay in a small cabin where it’s unbearably hot; they should encourage more outdoor activities for children that age.
The evening shows take place inside the pool bar, where the heat is unbearable and ruins the experience; the entertainers themselves were dripping with sweat and couldn’t carry on.
There are many signs saying “no booking sunbeds”, but either you go down at 07:50 to put your towel down or you’re left without a spot until 18:00. The hotel does nothing about it: they just shrug and their only excuse is the signs, which are useless.
Drinks are not included in the “all-inclusive” package (bear this in mind); you have to pay for the mojito no matter what board you book.
Lo peor, sin duda, el buffet. La calidad de la comida y la forma de cocinarla dejan bastante que desear: muchos platos estaban sosos o quemados (sobre todo en la plancha, porque solo hay una persona y no da abasto) y había muy poca variedad en general. No había leche caliente en los desayunos y tenías que calentarla en el microondas; no pasa nada, pero para ser un 4* resulta raro. El café, malísimo (el de IKEA es medalla de oro al lado de este); tenía que irme después del desayuno al bar de la piscina a pagar 1,70 € por un café en condiciones. El zumo de naranja parece un Sunny Delight de los malos; me sorprendió que un 4* no tenga máquina de zumos naturales y sirva esos zumos industriales que no valen nada.
Un almuerzo pusieron navajas y muchas tenían tierra; los langostinos sabían a humedad (estaban mezclados y algunos, pasados). El día de las carrilladas me ilusioné, pero al probarlas, en vez de deshacerse, estaban duras como una piedra. Un día pusieron filetes de pollo a la plancha y fue lo que más disfruté, para que veáis el nivel.
En zonas comunes como el vestíbulo y el comedor hace muchísimo calor; la climatización es muy mejorable.
El equipo de socorrismo no supo darme solución ante un problema: abrieron el botiquín y no sabían ni lo que tenían dentro, lo que denota muy poco interés.
La animación para los más pequeños (4 años) la veo muy limitada, ya que tienen que estar en una caseta donde hace un calor horrible; deberían fomentar más actividades al aire libre para niños de esa edad.
Los espectáculos nocturnos se hacen dentro del bar de la piscina, donde el calor es insoportable y arruina la experiencia; los propios animadores estaban chorreando de sudor y no podían más.
Hay muchos carteles de «prohibido reservar hamacas», pero o bajas a las 7:50 a poner tu toalla o te quedas sin sitio hasta las 18:00. El hotel no hace nada al respecto: se encoge de hombros y su única excusa son los carteles, que sirven de nada.
En el «todo incluido» las copas se pagan aparte (tenedlo en cuenta); el mojito lo pagas sí o sí, sin importar el régimen que contrates.

Es la segunda vez que vamos. Estuvimos hace 3 años y han hecho cambios para bien. El tener una pulsera para poder abrir la habitación en lugar de andar llevando la típica tarjeta es un punto a favor. Los animadores los que más. Dan mucho ambiente al entorno, lo que hace que no salgas del complejo. La fotos truco con perritos, burgueses, nuggets también está muy bien para los almuerzos o meriendas de los niños. Volveremos a repetir sin ninguna duda.
The grilled food is fine but there could be more variety.
La comida de la plancha no está mal pero podía haber más variedad.

El personal del hotel es maravilloso, tanto camareros, metres, limpieza....el hotel genial, mi hija y yo somos CELIACAS, y no nos ha faltado de nada, no estamos acostumbradas a comer tan bien fuera de casa, en éste aspecto es el mejor destino que he vivido con diferencia, aunque para mí marido que no es CELIACO, había poca variedad pero en general bastante bien
The sunlounger situation is terrible — there aren’t nearly enough sunloungers for the number of guests, and getting one is an ordeal; if you don’t get up early you won’t get anything, by 9am everything is already taken.
The location in relation to the beach is perfect, but we didn’t like the area: there’s practically nothing nearby, so you need to drive if you want to do anything outside.
El tema HAMACAS faaatalll, es una locura no hay bastantes hamacas, pero no da ni para la mitad de la gente alojada, y conseguir una hamaca es una odisea y si no madrugas no pillas nada, a las 9 de la mañana ya está todo ocupado.
La ubicación respecto a la playa es perfecta, pero no nos gustó la zona, no hay prácticamente nada alrededor tienes que coger el coche si quieres hacer algo fuera.

It's a shame — the meat and fish are of good quality, but they cook them so badly on the griddle: everything comes out burnt and very dirty. They should keep a closer eye on that.
Es una pena ,la buena calidad de comida de carne y pescado ,que la hagan tan mal en la plancha ,sale todo carbonizado y muy sucia,deberían de vigilar eso!!
