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.

La relación calidad-precio excelente, la comida abundante y variada, para el precio que tiene, la zona de piscinas muy bonita y tranquila, el gimnasio bien dotado de aparatos. Las habitaciones amplias y todas tienen terraza con tendedero. En general muy bien. Hay animación y música en directo los fines de semana,
I would improve the lighting in the restaurant — it's cold and not very welcoming. The hotel is on its own in the area and a little remote, but if that's what you're after, it's perfect.
Mejoraría la luz del restaurante resulta fría, y poco acogedora. El hotel está solo en la zona y un poco apartado, pero si és lo que buscas, perfecto

Es un hotel maravilloso, nos ha encantado todo, la habitación mirando a la piscina genial con su balconcito con mesa y 2 sillas genial, cama súper cómoda y 2 almohadas por cada uno, buena limpieza.os recomiendo no cojáis las habitaciones del edificio anexo, porque las vistas no son muy buenas. una piscina olímpica una pasada y otra normal, muchas hamacas, no había problema para encontrar hamacas libres, el bufett estupendo, toda la comida buenísima y además tenías disponible botellas de agua, refrescos , cerveza y vino, todo un lujo que no suelen tener los hoteles. Los viernes y sábado actuación en directo de cantantes de 22 horas a 24. Pero perfecto para poder madrugar al día siguiente. Personal amable. Nos ha encantado el hotel
I’d say it’s not very well located; the nearby beach isn’t good — I didn’t dare go swimming. But we found some amazing coves just a 20-minute drive away, worth visiting; the water is clean and clear and they’re in the Calblanque natural park.
Diría que no está muy bien situado, la playa cerca no es buena, yo no me atreví a bañarme. Pero si encontramos unas calas impresionantes a dolo 20 minutos en coche, vale la pena visitarlas, son de agua limpia y transparentes están situadas en un parque natural en Calblanque

La zona de las piscinas y que el buffet también incluyera las bebidas.
Yes, the beach they mention 200 metres away is not suitable for swimming, there’s nothing to do near the hotel; it’s fine if you go in full-board mode and don’t leave, to relax inside.
Si, la playa que mencionan a 200 metros no es apta para el baño, no hay nada para hacer cerca del hotel, está bien para ir modo pensión completa y no salir de allí, relajarse dentro.

La habitación espectacular, la cama comodísima,los baños muy amplios y completos.En general las instalaciones están muy bien y modernas.
The food didn’t seem very good quality; in fact my partner and I got sick from something we ate or drank.
La comida no me pareció de mucha calidad, es más mi pareja y yo nos pusimos malos por algo que comimos o bebimos.

La limpieza genial. Piscinas muy bien. Y buffet normal.
It's in the middle of nowhere. The hotel's beach is unusable for bathing. The terrace light didn't work. The air conditioning throughout the premises was very strong. The staff are like everywhere else — some are friendlier than others. It's true they never replenished the body milk during our whole stay, and the terrace glass was dirty and hadn't been swept.
Está en medio de la nada. La playa del hotel imposible el baño. El foco de la terraza no lucía. El aire acondicionado de todas las instalaciones muy fuerte. El personal hay como en todos los lados, gente más agradable y menos. Es verdad que body milk no nos repusieron en toda la estancia y la terraza cristales sucios y sin barrer.

There were none at the hotel, but the nearby beach is impossible to swim in — it’s polluted with algae.

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.
