Why this destination is a must-visit
Cartagena: Roman heritage, seafaring charm and unforgettable flavours
Founded by the Carthaginians and later transformed by the Romans, Cartagena is one of Spain’s most fascinating historic cities. Ancient monuments, a vibrant waterfront and a rich culinary tradition make it a destination full of character.
What you shouldn't miss:
- The Roman Theatre: Cartagena's greatest treasure. Hidden beneath the city for centuries and only rediscovered in 1988, it is one of the most impressive Roman theatres in Spain. Its museum and monumental architecture are truly spectacular.
- The Roman Forum District: One of the largest urban archaeological sites in the country. Walk along ancient Roman streets, visit historic baths and discover the sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis.
- The Port and the Peral Submarine: The waterfront promenade is perfect for a stroll. Here you can see the original prototype of the electric submarine designed by Cartagena-born inventor Isaac Peral in 1888, a landmark in engineering history.
- Concepción Castle and its views: Take the panoramic lift to reach this hilltop fortress. From the top, you'll enjoy incredible views over the harbour, the historic centre and the hills that have protected Cartagena for centuries.
Our recommendation
Don't leave without trying a traditional Asian Coffee, Cartagena's signature drink. Made with coffee, condensed milk, brandy, Licor 43, cinnamon and lemon peel, it's a local speciality with plenty of character.
Murcia: the jewel of south eastern Spain that has it all
Murcia is one of Spain’s best-kept secrets, offering sunshine almost all year round, a relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle and a rich cultural heritage. Located in the southeast of Spain, this vibrant city and its surrounding region are ideal for couples and families looking for good weather, great food and a more authentic Spanish experience away from the crowds.
Make sure you visit:
- The impressive Catedral de Murcia, a stunning mix of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles.
- Murcia’s historic old town, perfect for strolling through lively squares and traditional streets.
- The Cartagena, famous for its Roman heritage and natural harbour.
- Local markets such as Verónicas, where daily life and local flavours come together.
Beaches we think you’ll like:
- Mar Menor: shallow, warm waters, ideal for families.
- Los Alcázares Beach: calm and well-equipped.
- La Manga beaches: long sandy stretches between two seas.
- Cala Cortina (Cartagena): small, scenic and very local.
Family-friendly activities:
- Enjoy a relaxed boat or paddleboard session on the Mar Menor.
- Visit parks and gardens around the Segura River.
- Discover Roman history through interactive museums in Cartagena.
- Take easy cycling routes along the coast or flat inland areas.
Make sure you try these local delicacies:
- Caldero del Mar Menor, a traditional rice dish cooked with fish.
- Zarangollo, made with courgette, onion and egg.
- Pastel de carne, Murcia’s iconic savoury pastry.
- Fresh fruit and vegetables from the fertile Huerta de Murcia.
Make the most of your visit and go to...
- Cartagena (45 minutes): Roman ruins, harbour views and history.
- La Manga del Mar Menor (40 minutes): beaches on both sides.
- Alicante (1 hour): castles, beaches and a lively atmosphere.

Personal que atiende el comedor muy agradable y educado. Buenas instalaciones. Comida variada y sabrosa. Habitaciones limpias y cómodas.
The main areas were very dirty, especially the bathrooms opposite the gym and the bathrooms next to the entrance. I reported it at reception and it wasn't sorted out all day.
Las zonas comunes estaban muy sucias, en concreto, los baños que están enfrente del gimnasio y los baños al lado de la entrada. Avisé en recepción y no se solucionó en todo el día.

El hotel está muy bien, habitaciones amplias, camas muy grandes y muy cómodas
hay 3 piscinas y suficientes hamacas y sombra.
Me tocó una habitación totalmente adaptada a minusvalía y estaba perfecta
La gente de buffet era muy amable, aida una chica encantadora que me facilitó varias cosas.
Tiene bastante aparcamiento
Y sobretodo la animación Lucía, Vanesa e Isabel son excelentes animadoras
El hotel es muy tranquilo ideal para desconectar unos días
Pero sobretodo a destacar es que es casi nuevo o le han hecho un buen lavado de cara
What I liked least, without a doubt, was the cleanliness of the room. The sheets got stained on the first day and they didn’t change them throughout our stay, nor did they clean the mirrors.
The breakfast buffet was always the same. It wasn’t bad, but it never varied, and if you arrived a bit late, some things weren't restocked.
Another thing that was quite bothersome was on the sea terrace — people were smoking. I’m not necessarily against it, but there were loads of children and so many people smoking, including cigars, that at one point you just couldn’t stay out there.
The hotel is far away from everything.
Lo que menos me gustó sin duda fue la limpieza de la habitación, las sábanas se mancharon el primer día y no las cambiaron en toda la estancia ni tampoco limpiaban espejos
Y el buffet del desayuno siempre había lo mismo, no estaba mal pero no variaba y si ibas algo tarde algunas cosas no las reponen
Y también una cosa que molestaba bastante en la terraza del mar la gente fumaba, yo no es que esté en contra pero habían muchísimos niños y muchísima gente fumando incluido puros y hubo un momento que no había quien estuviera allí.
El hotel está apartado de todo

The pillows were extremely soft. A bit of firmness would be appreciated for those of us who suffer from neck problems.
Almohadas excesivamente blandas. Un poco de firmeza es de agradecer para los que sufrimos de cervicales.

en general el hotel está muy bien, las piscinas, los trabajadores son agradables y el desayuno del bufet muy bien
In the photos, there's a beach from I don’t know how many years ago, and nowhere does it say that you can't swim or do anything at the beach next to the hotel because it's full of seaweed. On top of that, there's absolutely nothing around - it feels like a ghost hotel.
The hotel entertainment is very limited, the staff are nice but everything is designed for kids and in the evenings there's nothing to do.
Also, one night I went to the terrace (the only thing that's open) and there was just one girl serving everyone. I asked for an ice cream and she told me they only had two types left, even though there was a whole board of ice creams, and considering there's nothing nearby, you'd expect at least a minimum selection. Plus, she was charging people very randomly - the lady in front didn’t pay anything and she had Full Board just like me. They’re completely disorganised... Honestly, knowing you have to drive anywhere, they should pay more attention to the hotel services.
En las fotos sale una playa de hace no sé cuántos años y no pone en ninguna parte que en la playa de al lado del hotel no te puedes bañar ni nada ya que está llena de algas, además no hay absolutamente nada alrededor, parece un hotel fantasma
La animación del hotel es muy escasa, las trabajadoras son majas pero todo está pensando para niños y por las noches no hay nada que hacer
Además un día por la noche fui a la terraza (lo único que está abierto) y hay solo una chica atendiendo para todos los que somos, le pedí un helado y me decía que solo le quedaban de dos tipos teniendo un cartel entero de helados y teniendo en cuenta que alrededor no hay nada lo suyo es que haya un mínimo, además cabe decir que le cobraba a quien le apetecía, porque a la señora de delante no le cobró nada y tenía pensión completa como yo, tienen un lío enorme… realmente sabiendo que tienes que coger el coche para ir a cualquier lado deberían prestar más atención a los servicios del hotel…

El hotel es precioso, las habitaciones cómodas, y las instalaciones cuidadas,,, la comida no está mal,,,
The advertising is misleading, the hotel is in the middle of nowhere, not even within the village, and 20 km from Cartagena. The entertainment is terrible and there’s nothing to do in the hotel except eat and sleep. You need a car for everything.
La publicidad es engañosa, el hotel está en medio de la nada, ni siquiera dentro del pueblo, y a 20 kms de Cartagena,,, la animación pésima y no ofrece nada que hacer dentro del hotel más allá que comer y dormir,,, dependes del coche para todo

Lo único bueno el personal muy amables
Terrible food, very little variety and not enough to go around. For example, it's the first hotel I've been to where there are no ice creams or yoghurts—just disappointing... And the location is dreadful, there’s nothing nearby and they even suggest you don't swim at the beach. All in all, I won’t be coming back.
Comida horrible, poca variedad y escasez de alimentos, por ejemplo primer hotel donde no hay helados y yogures, lamentable..... Y la ubicación penosa nada alrededor y la playa te recomiendan no bañarte...en fin, no volveré

Nuestra estancia fue genial, al llegar nuestra habitación era de dos camas cuando habíamos reservado cama de matrimonio. Al día siguiente ya lo habían solucionado.
La comida muy bien, buena variedad todos los días y un buffet para cualquier tipo de gustos.
I liked it, but I should mention that we always noticed sand on the floor in the rooms, and even more so on the terrace, as if it wasn’t being swept.
And about the location, it's far from everything, so if you’re not looking for that kind of peace and quiet where you’re not near anything, this isn’t the hotel for you.
Como pero podría indicar que en el suelo de las habitaciones siempre notábamos arena, y la terraza aún más como si no se barriera.
Y la ubicación, está alejado de todo así que si lo que buscas no es esa tranquilidad de no estar cerca de nada. No es tu hotel.

Bonito alojamiento, estancias amplias
There’s a lack of activities for adults, both during the day and at night. The hotel is far from towns and any lively summer atmosphere.
Se echa en falta actividades para adultos, durante el día y noche, hotel lejos de pueblos y ambientes veranienos

La habitación estaba muy bien y la piscina también. El horario de comidas y cenas es amplio
The food is poor quality (they have variety but the taste and quality are very average: overcooked pasta, rice, low-quality meat, fruit was fine, the vegetables weren’t good, etc). The hotel is very dirty for its age (yellowed dirty walls, yellowed sunbeds, chairs with bird droppings for days). The all-inclusive isn’t worth it for what they offer as snacks (bags of crisps) and the soft drinks are refill dispensers, not branded products; the all-inclusive service hours are odd (there are periods when you can’t order anything). The beach next door is inaccessible and there’s nothing nearby. Much better was the one we stayed at last year booked through you in Mojácar.
La comida de mala calidad (tienen variedad pero de sabor y calidad muy regular, la pasta pasada, el arroz, la carne de poca calidad, la fruta bien, la verdura no estaba buena, etc), el hotel es muy sucio para el tiempo que tiene (paredes sucias amarillentas, tumbonas amarillentas, sillas con cagadas de pájaro durante días), el todo incluido no merece la pena lo que ofrecen de snack (bolsas de patatas) y los refrescos son de refill no originales, los horarios del todo incluido son raros (hay periodos de tiempo que no puedes pedir nada), la playa que hay al lado no se puede acceder y no hay nada cerca al lado. Mucho mejor al que fuimos el año pasado contratado con ustedes en Mojácar
