Why this destination is a must-visit
▶
Curiosities of Aguadulce
Aguadulce has its name for a reason, and it’s not just a marketing idea from the 1960s. Discover some of the most fascinating facts that make this beautiful corner of Almería so special:
-
The mystery behind the name (water that isn’t salty)
It’s called Aguadulce because fresh water springs emerge right by the seashore. In the past, sailors took advantage of these natural filtrations from the Sierra de Gádor to refill their drinking water supplies without having to sail far from the coast. -
The “Kilometre Zero” of Spanish tourism
Aguadulce is part of tourism history. In 1964 it was declared the first Centre of National Tourist Interest in Spain. In many ways, the modern sun-and-beach holiday model that we know today began right here. -
A Hollywood base by the sea
Thanks to its proximity to Tabernas, Aguadulce, in Almería, became the perfect coastal base for Western film crews. Stars such as Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg stayed here while filming in the desert, seeking the refreshing sea breeze after long days under the intense heat. -
The “shield” microclimate
Protected by the Sierra de Gádor, Aguadulce enjoys a unique microclimate. While strong Poniente or Levante winds may sweep across other parts of Almería, the sea here is often calmer and the air noticeably milder. -
A hidden treasure beneath your feet: Ribera de la Algaida
Nearby lies the archaeological site of Turaniana, home to the remains of a Roman settlement. Even more remarkable is its Posidonia reef, one of the few natural monuments of its kind in the Mediterranean, forming an underwater ecosystem that helps keep the water exceptionally clear.
Almería: untouched beaches and cinematic scenery
Almería isn’t just another beach destination, it’s a unique blend of desert landscapes, traditional villages, and Mediterranean coastline. Ideal for families and couples seeking a sunny break with a taste of local culture, this corner of Andalusia is full of surprises.
Make sure you visit:
- The Alcazaba of Almería: a massive Moorish fortress with panoramic views.
- The old town of Níjar: known for pottery, textiles, and whitewashed charm.
- Tabernas Desert: Europe’s only desert, used in countless western movies.
- Cabo de Gata Natural Park: a protected area with dramatic cliffs and coves.
Beaches we think you’ll like:
- Genoveses Beach: wide, natural, and perfect for a peaceful day.
- Mónsul Beach: famous for its volcanic rock formations and clear water.
- Playa del Zapillo: right in Almería city, with all facilities nearby.
- Aguadulce Beach: great for families with calm waters and playgrounds.
Family-Friendly activities:
- Visit the MiniHollywood Theme Park in Tabernas, with shows and a zoo.
- Take an easy hike through Cabo de Gata with stops at scenic viewpoints.
- Try kayaking or snorkeling tours in crystal-clear waters.
- Spend the evening strolling along the seaside promenade with ice cream.
Make sure you try these local delicacies:
- Fried fish (“pescaíto frito”) in beachfront bars.
- “Migas” and “gurullos”, two hearty traditional dishes.
- Local tapas: order a drink and get a snack for free!
- Artisan ice creams, perfect on a warm Almería evening.

We stayed with only bed and breakfast. Room and hotel is clean. Did not use the pool or other facilities. The breakfast itself is fine
However the breakfast room it is not a Nice place to easy enjoy your breakfast. It is loud and crowded. It is my personal experience that I did not like this. Next time I would book without breakfast.
Excellent
La ubicación, está justo enfrente de la playa, y para aparcar no hay problema.
The food is mediocre and repetitive.
The hotel needs some refurbishment; the rooms are dated and require attention to walls, floors and similar.
La comida es regular, repetitiva.

Lo único bueno de este hotel es la ubicación que es cruzar la calle y tienes la playa y el personal increíble tanto el de recepción hasta comedor.
The entertainment is dreadful — there are no performances, only children’s games and a few pool activities. The hotel urgently needs refurbishment; everything is very run-down. There is no air conditioning in the main areas and there are many glass walls, so when the sun is out it becomes unbearably hot. The lift queues at peak times are awful — you could be waiting ages, and on top of that it’s so hot. The pools are very deep; you have to keep swimming or hold on to the edge if you can’t touch the bottom. The food was repetitive during the four days we stayed, and the fruit and desserts were the same every day. If you don’t have an All-Inclusive package you have to queue to pay for drinks at the buffet and then queue again to receive them.
La animación es pésima no hay nada de actuaciones solo juegos para niños y cuatro actividades en la piscina. El hotel necesita una reforma urgente todo muy deteriorado. No dispone de aire acondicionado en las zonas comunes y tiene muchas cristaleras y cuando le da el sol hace un calor terrible. Las horas puntas para los ascensores es mortal te puedes morir esperando y encima la calor que hace. Las piscinas muy profundas tienes que estar nadando o agarrada al borde si no haces pie. La comida repetitiva para los 4 días que hemos estado y la fruta y postres todo los días igual. Si no vas con todo incluido tienes que hacer cola para pagar la bebida del buffet y luego volver hacer otra cola para que te lo den

Está en primera línea de playa. La comida del tipo buffet está bien, pero algo justa para un 4 estrellas. Las zonas de la piscina muy bien, han puesto césped artificial durante nuestra estancia.
The rooms are a little dated and the hotel could improve its public areas, which have old, worn upholstery. The entertainment is rather limited.
Las habitaciones algo antiguas y el hotel podría mejorar en el aspecto de las zonas comunes, que tienen tapizados antiguos y desgastados. La animación es muy justa.

La ubicación es inmejorable
The pool opening hours are very limited. In summer, not opening it until 11:00 and closing it at 19:30 seems very early to me.
The rooms are large but need refurbishment.

Muy buena ubicación y personal muy atento.
One star too many.
We were on the third floor and had to walk up and down every day because the lifts are very, very slow, they’re overcrowded and can’t cope.
Long queues to enter the dining room.
The car park access card failed twice and we had to wait for maintenance staff to come and let us in.
Very poor, limited dinner buffet with little variety.
The bathroom is very old and neglected.
This hotel shows little investment and is more like a 3-star accommodation, although it charges 4-star prices.
Le sobra una estrella.
Estábamos en el tercero y tuvimos que subir y bajar andando todos los días ya que los ascensores son muy muy lentos, hay muchísima gente y no dan abasto.
Filas largas para entrar al comedor.
La tarjeta de entrada al parking nos falló dos veces y tuvimos que esperar que viniese personal de mantenimiento para abrirnos.
Buffet para cenar muy justo, pobre y poco variado.
El baño muy antiguo y dejado.
Es un hotel en el que hay poca inversión, más propio de 3 estrellas, aunque el precio es de 4 estrellas.

Ubicación perfecta a pie de playa. La comida por fin ha mejorado tras el cambio de nombre. La limpieza buena.
More waiters needed at breakfast — many tables were empty but not cleared; you had to beg a waiter to clear one because others refused, saying they were busy. The room had a tree right in front of the balcony so you couldn’t see anything except a bit of the street; it was also a room for disabled guests and the bathroom had no screen, so water splashed everywhere. We asked to be moved but were told there were no rooms available.
Más camareros en la hora del desayuno muchas mesas vacías pero sin limpiar tenías que rogar a un camarero que te la limpiará porque otros se negaban porque estaban ocupados. La habitación tenía un árbol justo en frente del balcón y no veías nada solo un trozo de calle además era habitación para minusválidos y el baño no tenía mampara por lo que el agua se salía por todas partes. Pedimos cambio pero alegaron que no tenían habitaciones disponibles.

Hemos estado 3 noches y ha sido una experiencia muy positiva. El hotel está en primera línea y la playa es de arena gruesa con algunas piedritas finas donde empieza el agua. El agua está super limpia y no es necesario llevar escarpines. El hotel se nota que le han dado un lavado de cara, pero las camas eran muy cómodas y el aire de la habitación funcionaba sin problemas.
Some reviews mentioned a limited variety on the menu, and it’s true that during our stay much of the menu didn’t change or changed only slightly, but there were still many options to choose from among the same dishes, and the creams and soups were very good.
Algunos comentarios mencionaban poca variedad en el menú, y es cierto que en los días que estuvimos gran parte del menú no varió o lo hizo levemente, pero había muchas opciones para elegir dentro que que fueran las mismas, y las cremas y sopas estaban muy buenas.

La ubicación, está frente a la playa.
Hotel that needs substantial renovation; everything is very dirty. As for the rooms, everything is very old (doors that do not close, taps with limescale, terraces so dirty it’s unpleasant to use). Overall it is about one and a half stars too many.
The food is very repetitive and there are too many fried dishes on the menu.
It may once have been a good hotel, but now it is very neglected and badly maintained; it is overrated by one to almost two stars.
Hotel que necesita una reforma bastante profunda, todo está muy sucio, en cuanto a las habitaciones todo está muy viejo ( puertas que no cierran, grifos con cal, terrazas muy sucias que da asco salir) en líneas generales le sobra una estrella y media.
La comida muy repetitiva y demasiados fritos en el menú.
En su día sería un buen hotel, pero ahora está muy abandonado, con una gran falta de mantenimiento, le sobra una estrella y casi dos.

El personal de comedor, limpieza y bares siempre muy amable.
They told us it was fine to stop to eat while the car was in the loading/unloading bay because it was ours, but when we returned we had a fine. We called the police and were told that if permission had been given, the hotel would have to accept responsibility. The manager, as well as questioning us, washed her hands of it; she is not very good with the public. I am a psychologist and felt unwell seeing this person’s non-verbal behaviour, which was completely inappropriate. I am certain the staff are not happy with her either.
Nos dijeron que no había problema en bajar a comer teniendo el coche en carga y descarga porque era suyo y al subir teníamos una multa, llamamos a la policía y nos dijeron que si nos habían dado permiso tenía que asumirla el hotel. La gerente, además de ponernos en duda, se lavó las manos, para trabajar de cara al público no tiene mucho don de gentes, además soy psicóloga y me ponía mala ver lenguaje no verbal de esta persona para nada correcta, estoy segurísima que los empleados tampoco están bien con ella.

La habitación frente al mar y muy grande,nos tocó sin terraza pero espectacular.
Muy bien situado frente al mar.
The only downside was the long wait to check in.
You have to wait a bit for the lifts and the food was average.
But I would stay again.
Overall I liked it a lot.
Lo único que mucho tiempo para hacer el check in.
Los ascensores hay que esperar un poco y la comida normal.
Pero sí repetiría.
En general me gustó mucho.

Perfecta su ubicación
We arrived and the bathroom was dirty. I reported it to reception but they were unable to send anyone to clean. We ran out of soap and it was only replaced the next afternoon, even though the request had been made the previous morning.
I had stayed here before and everything was fine, but this time it was disappointing.
Llegamos y estaba el baño sucio, lo dije en recepción y no fueron capaces de enviar a nadie para limpiar. Nos quedamos sin jabón y lo repusieron al día siguiente por la tarde cuando el aviso estaba desde la mañana del día de antes.
Ya había ido en otras ocasiones y todo bien pero está vez penoso

El personal es muy amable y atento
La limpieza de habitaciones es todos los dias, y muy buena
La comida del buffet esta bien, es variada
Tiene varias piscinas, esta bien
El hotel esta ubicado en primera linea de playa
- The WC in the room’s bathroom leaked water from underneath
- When we arrived for check-in they made us wait more than 20 minutes to give us the room
- The hotel’s available car park costs €15 per day and access is a bit of a nuisance
- If the hotel is very busy you have to queue to enter the buffet dining room
El wc del baño de la habitación soltaba agua por abajo
Al llegar para el chekin nos hicieron esperar mas de 20 minutos para darnos la habitación
El parking disponible del hotel te cobran 15 euros por dia y es un poco coñazo el acceso
Como haya mucha gente alojada en el hotel tienes que hacer cola para entrar al comedor al buffet

Cabe destacar la proximidad de la playa que está tan solo cruzando la calle.
The buffet is a shame; you eat exactly the same thing every day. The food tastes fine, but after three or four days it becomes a struggle — if it isn’t rice with chicken, it’s chicken with rice. The same desserts, the same every day, and no fish at all — panga and rock gurnard are not fish that should be eaten. I was here last year and the variety and quality were much better.
El bufet da pena, comes todos los días exactamente lo mismo, de sabor está todo bueno pero después de 3/4 días ya se te hace cuesta arriba, si no es arroz con pollo es pollo con arroz. Los mismos postres, todo igual un día tras otro y 0 pescados, por qué ni la panga ni la gallineta son pescados que se deban consumir. Estuve el año pasado y estaba mucho mejor de variedad y calidad.
