Why this destination is a must-visit
Curiosities of Retamar - El Toyo
Retamar and El Toyo are two areas often mentioned together, yet they reveal distinct personalities. This is one of Almería’s most promising zones, shaped by the fusion of residential tradition and the modern energy of major international events.
-
The Mediterranean Games Legacy
El Toyo as you see it today was born from the Almería 2005 Mediterranean Games. The neighborhood was purpose-built to host the Mediterranean Village, welcoming elite athletes from around the world. Many of today’s upscale residential complexes were once home to sporting champions — a legacy that still defines its character. -
A “Garden City” Concept
Unlike the historic center of Almería, El Toyo was designed with a low-density urban vision.-
Green living: Kilometres of bike lanes and wide pedestrian promenades invite you to move freely and enjoy the outdoors.
-
Clean skyline: Much of the electricity and telecommunication infrastructure runs underground, creating an uncluttered, modern coastal landscape.
-
-
The Gateway to Cabo de Gata
Retamar stands as the literal entrance to the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. It is the final urban hub before protected nature begins. Stay in a luxury hotel and, within five minutes by car, reach the untouched beauty of Las Amoladeras — an unbeatable strategic location. -
Alborán Golf Course
El Toyo features an 18-hole, par-72 golf course that has become a regional benchmark. Designed with sustainability in mind, it incorporates native plant species and efficient irrigation systems adapted to Almería’s semi-arid climate. -
The Origins of Retamar
While El Toyo represents 21st-century modernity, Retamar began expanding in the 1960s and 1970s. Initially conceived as a summer retreat for Almería’s affluent families seeking distance from the city’s bustle, it is now fully integrated into the metropolitan landscape. -
A Privileged Microclimate
Thanks to its open bay location and surrounding orography, the area typically enjoys slightly warmer winters than the capital and a constant sea breeze that tempers the summer heat — a natural advantage you can feel year-round.
Cabo de Gata: wild beaches, volcanic landscapes and pure nature
Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park is one of Spain’s most unique coastal destinations, where volcanic landscapes meet crystal-clear waters and untouched beaches. Located in Almería, this protected natural park offers a more rugged, authentic Mediterranean experience—perfect if you’re looking to disconnect, explore nature, and enjoy some of the most unspoilt coastline in southern Europe.
Make sure you visit:
- Los Genoveses Beach, one of the most iconic and pristine beaches in the park.
- Cabo de Gata Lighthouse, with dramatic cliffs and panoramic sea views.
- The salt flats (Salinas de Cabo de Gata), where you might spot flamingos.
- San José village, a charming base with great restaurants and a relaxed vibe.
- Monsul Beach, famous for its volcanic rock formations and cinematic scenery.
Beaches we think you’ll like:
- Playa de los Genoveses: wide, wild, and surrounded by dunes.
- Playa de Mónsul: unique volcanic formations and shallow waters.
- Cala de Enmedio: secluded, with striking white rock formations.
- Playa de los Muertos: stunning turquoise waters, though access is steep.
- Cala del Plomo: peaceful and less crowded, ideal for a quiet escape.
Family-friendly activities:
- Easy coastal hikes with breathtaking views and plenty of photo spots.
- Snorkelling in crystal-clear waters full of marine life.
- Boat trips along the coast to discover hidden coves.
- Visiting small fishing villages and enjoying local markets.
- Birdwatching at the salt flats, especially fun for curious kids.
Make sure you try these local delicacies:
- Fresh grilled fish, especially red mullet and sea bass.
- Arroz caldoso (brothy rice dish) with seafood.
- “Gurullos”, a traditional stew with pasta and rabbit or seafood.
- Local tapas with Mediterranean flavours.
- Desserts made with almonds, a staple of the region.
Make the most of your visit and go to...
- Níjar (30 min): known for its artisan crafts and pottery.
- Almería city (40 min): for its Alcazaba fortress and historic centre.
- Tabernas Desert (1h): Europe’s only desert, famous for western film sets.
- Carboneras (30 min): a coastal town with great seafood and beaches.

La habitación grande y agradable.
We had Half Board and the evening meals were awful. Very little variety and poor quality. In the end we ate out.

Lo mejor son las piscinas, y el hotel en general.
I got the worst room — it was impossible to access the terrace because the kitchen motors were right there, making a lot of noise and heat. To top it off a leak appeared in the ceiling and soaked the whole floor.
Me toco la peor habitacion, imposible salir a la terraza, los motores de la cocina estaban ahi, vaya ruido y calor. Para colmo salio una gotera en el techo que puso todo el suelo empapado.

El hotel fantásticouy limpio .la comida muy buena
A shame we couldn’t enjoy the pool — people put towels on the sunbeds in the morning, go to the beach and then come back, or go for lunch and still keep the sunbeds occupied.
Una pena no pudimos disfrutar de la piscina ,las personas ponen las toallas en las hamacas por la mañana ,se van a la playa y luego vuelven o se van a comer y siguen con las hamacas ocupadas!!

Nos hemos movido desde el hotel hasta el Cabo de Gata y San José ( las playas son espectaculares).
The beach at El Retamar, which is the one right outside the hotel, has very coarse sand (quarry-like) and a rocky entrance into the water.
La playa del Retamar, q es la que está justo a la salida del hotel es de arena muy gruesa (tipo cantera) y la entrada al agua con muchas piedras

El trato de los empleados
Children's entertainment needs a lot of improvement in terms of schedules and information. The buffet is very basic with little variety — it's always the same. Many of the items in the children's pool were not working or were broken. There is no dedicated area for performances, so it's difficult to watch anything. Drinks, such as Coca‑Cola, are very expensive at €3.50 and are served in a glass taken from a 2-litre bottle — daylight robbery. The area on the beach side is very neglected.
Tema de entretenimiento de niños mucho que mejorar en horarios e información, bufet muy básico con poca variedad de comida, siempre lo mismo, la piscina de niños la mitad de las cosas no funcionaban o estaban rotas, no hay una zona concreta para las actuaciones por lo que es complicado poder ver algo, las bebidas como por ejemplo cocacolas etc, súper caras a 3,5€ y te sirven un vaso de una botella de 2 litros, ATRACO, la ubicación en el lado de la playa muy abandonado.

Las habitaciones. Cama gigante . El gel que te ponen y el champú huele ….super bien . La piscina grande es bonita , los socorridas y todo el personal super amable .
The waterslide pool was very outdated and we didn’t like the food at all for a 4-star hotel, especially since three nights cost us €1,300 — I would have preferred somewhere else. I didn’t like the local beach either; there are hotels in the area with much better beaches.
La piscina de toboganes muy antiguos y la comida no nos ha gustado nada para ser un 4 Estrellas y costarnos 3 noches 1300 euros preferiría otro sitio . La playa de allí tampoco me gustó , hay hoteles con playas mucho mejores por la zona .

Lo mas destacable, para mi, el personal, super profesional y amabke. El hotel está bien, aunque ya se le va notando el paso del tiempo. Pero aceptable. El comedor, siempre limpio y bien atendido.
Buena ubicacion para visitar Cabo de Gata
The food was a bit meagre and repetitive. There was little variety of fresh and cooked vegetables. We only stayed four days with Half Board — any longer, or with Full Board, would be very boring.
There are no comfortable communal areas (no comfortable sofas suitable for all ages) where you can read or relax quietly, away from the deafening noise of the pool music. The evening entertainment was mediocre.
La comida era un poco escasa y repetitiva. Poca variedad de verduras frescas y/o cocinadas Solo hemos estado 4 dias en media pensión, mas dias y pension completa tiene que hacerse muuuuy aburrido.
No hay zonas comunes confortables (sofás ada comodos ni aptos para todas las edades)donde poder leer o descansar tranquilamente, sin el ruido ensordecedor de la,musica de la piscina. La animacion, nocturna, regular.

LA ubicación del hotel y las instalaciones exteriores.
This is the fourth time I have stayed at this hotel, and this time we found the room (number 3025) with significant maintenance problems. The terrace door failed to close properly on several occasions, and with the heat it became uncomfortable since the air conditioning did not cool enough. In addition, the air made a loud noise.
Es la cuarta vez que acudo a este hotel y esta vez nos hemos encontrado con la habitacion (número 3025) que estaba con una falta de mantenimiento importante. La puerta de la terraza falló en varias ocasiones sin terminar de cerrarse y al hacer tanto calor se hacía incómodo ya que el aire no enfriaba lo suficiente. Además el aire hacia un ruido importante

El hotel muy bien, habitaciones con olor a pintura, entiendo que recién pintadas, amplias, camas comodísimas.
Due to low occupancy we did not have a buffet for dinner, even though it had already been paid for, nor entertainment (the girl said she wouldn’t do the mini disco because there was nobody). The only option was entertainment on Saturday. Sunday and no other days. Due to low occupancy there was neither a buffet nor entertainment for the entire weekend, things we would have liked to enjoy.
Por baja ocupación no tuvimos ni bufet en la cena aunque ya estaba pagado ni animación (la chica dijo q no hacía la mini disco porque no había nadie). Solo opción de animación sábado. Domingo ni ningún día más. Por baja ocupación ni bufet ni animación el finde completo cosas que nos hubiera gustado disfrutar.
