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.

The location is great, the hotel is super modern and the food is amazing!
Nothing, everything was brilliant!
Fabulous
Hotel tranquilo, de día hay música en la piscina y actividades, El personal es amable. El buffet es variado. Cama cómoda, con baño amplio y terraza a la piscina. Tiene 3 piscinas, una de 50 m longitud por lo que puedes nadar sin que haya demasiada gente, bar en la terraza de la piscina con toldos muy agradable por el día y la noche.
There are times when there is a bad smell; they told us it was from the water of the Mar Menor, which smells when the temperature rises.
Hay momentos en que hay mal olor, nos dijeron que era por el agua del mar menor que con el aumento de la temperatura hace olor.

El hotel muy bien. La animación para niños genial, aunque falta para adultos. El buffet bastante variado, con bebidas incluidas aún no yendo con todo incluido.
Access to the beach involves a lot of detours. Although the beach isn’t suitable for swimming, the seafront promenade is a pleasant place to end the day.
Acceso a la playa, hay que dar muchas vuelta. Aunque la playa no está apta para bañarse, el paseo marítimo es agradable para acabar el día

El hotel es muy bonito, con solo dos alturas, y un diseño exterior, especialmente el interior, muy logrado.
Las piscinas son una gozada, sobre todo para quien le guste nadar, pues una de las tres tiene 50m de longitud.
Mucho espacio exterior, y sin problema para conseguir tumbonas.
La comida muy correcta para la categoría del establecimiento. Quien diga que se come mal, miente, o ha viajado en fechas diferentes a las mías: del 22 al 28 de agosto de 2026. ¡Bebidas incluidas en PC!
Las habitaciones, baño incluido, son amplias y confortables. La terraza es también de buen tamaño.
El hotel se encuentra en una zona apartada de Los Urrutias. Tan apartado que termina siendo una ventaja, al menos en cuestión de ruido, que hay 0. Perfecto si lo que buscas es descansar.
It would be good to provide a lounge or common area with a television, as there isn’t one.
Estaría bien habilitar un espacio/salón con televisor, ya que no tiene.

Ha sido una experiencia increíble, un fin de semana de desconexión al 100%. La comida esta toda buenísima y el personal ideal.
The only thing I would improve is the cleanliness of the rooms. When we checked in, there was hair on the bathroom floor and the taps hadn’t been cleaned. Everything else was perfect.
Lo único que mejoraría es la limpieza de las habitaciones. Cuando hicimos el check-in había pelos por el suelo del baño y los grifos no se habían limpiado. Por el resto todo perfecto.

La comida aunque no era muy variada estaba buena.
The room wasn’t cleaned properly, leaving hair and stains on the floor from one day to the next; some days they didn’t even straighten the sheets on the cot. Cleaning of the main areas was far from satisfactory. An unused nappy lay rolling on the pool-area floor for three days, and there were cups we ended up clearing away ourselves to stop them falling into the water. Highchairs weren’t cleaned after each meal, leaving remains of the previous food. There was never purée, yoghurt for dessert or milk at lunch or dinner — simple, useful items when travelling with small children.
La habitación no la limpiaban de manera adecuada, dejando pelos y manchas en el suelo de un día para otro, había días que no estiraban ni las sábanas de la cuna. La limpieza de las zonas comunes dejaba bastante que desear. Un pañal sin usar se quedó 3 días rodando por el suelo de la zona de las piscinas, así como vasos que terminamos por recoger los clientes para evitar que cayeran al agua. Las tronas no las limpiaban tras cada comida quedando restos de la comida anterior. No había nunca puré, yogures de postre o leche en las comidas en en las cenas, cositas muy socorridas cuando viajas con niños pequeños.

La verdad que hemos estado bien, aunque un poco apartado, ya que necesitas coche para desplazarte. Tema piscina bien, ya que hay amacas suficientes
The gym was very neglected, I never saw it clean, and there wasn't much variety of food.

Habitantes muy amplias. 3 piscinas muy grandes. Mucho espacio para estar allí. Incluso crema y suavizante en las habitaciones.
The entertainment could be better, especially for adults. There are four entertainers but they don't put in as much effort as they should. The cleanliness could also be improved, both in the rooms and in the main areas.
La animación puede ser mejor, especialmente para los adultos. Hay 4 animadoras pero no sé esfuerzan tanto como deberían. La limpieza es mejorable tanto en las habitaciones, como en las zonas comunes.

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

Buenas y grandes piscinas sin masificar. Amabilidad del personal. Comodidad de las instalaciones.
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

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.
