Returned yesterday from a one night triangle trip to southern spain: Frankfurt-Hahn//London-Stansted//Murcia//Frankfurt-Hahn
all on Ryanair. Murcia airport is real in the middle of nowhere, a rental car is highly recommendable, no bus service, only expensive taxi`s. I´ve booked Sunny Cars, 30.-- EURO´s all included, a new Ford
Fiesta, ok so far.

From Murcia airport, exit the motorway at Torrevieja norte, also the direction, and later to the left, direction Guardamar, you will pass the hotel only by 100 meters from the main road. The location itself was quiet during my stay, wind was heavy, but I´ve managed a room on the eastern side, so a good sleep there. A nice pool area viewable from my room and some spa facilities, dont had the time to visit it all.

Front desk staff was real friendly, both at check in and check out,
no time to wait, both ways. My room had a separate terrace to sit outside in the sun, was spacious and clean, the bathroom fitted with the very welcomed bathtub and was also decorated in mexican hacienda style. Breakfast was ok, a bit from the smaller side, but I think the hotel was far from fully booked, so they offered not that much breakfast details, really ok for me at all.

Booking was done by german consolidator HRS, a real good fare = 80,92 EUR B&B, around 30.-- Euros cheaper than on other websites.
Ok for a short stay, not my number one for longer vacation.

we found this hotel to be very good, we stayed half board and the food was fantastic, we stayed with 2 children age 2 and 8 the restaurant have a seperate childrens menu, the dining room in the evening was tottaly relaxing, we foud the facilities in the hotel very good, the pool area is lovely really good for children, we found the spa quite expensive but the treatments we had were great, we will definatly be returning to this hotel for our next holiday

This is about the 4th time I have stayed at the hotel with my wife. Like many people we are buying a house in the area and the hotel is very handy. It is an excellent hotel with a high standard of finishing and attention to detail. The hotel appears to get better each time I return and the pool area is fantastic. I would recommend a room upgrade for a suite, a very cheap 65 euros per night extra gives you a fantastic room with seperate lounge area and nice views over the pool area out onto the laguna.

I would recommend eating at the local Italian reastaurant or going into Quesada for more choice (4 euros in a cab). The menu in the hotel is slightly limited, particually if staying for anything more than a couple of days.

All in all a good hotel in a developing part of Spain, definately recommended.

We booked this hotel because it was advertised as a spa, we wanted a bit of a blowout for our last day of our weeks vacation.

After spending 3 hours trying to find the hotel amongst one of the largest housing developments in Spain I have EVER witnessed, the room we we're offered was below 4 star standards, infact we requested a different room and had to argue and prove to the head of house keeping what was wrong.........anyway.

The spa was actually quite expensive, for the limited times you could use it, e.g 15 minutes to 1.5 hours (no all day use)

The pool area was nice, with a jacuzzi, power shower and paddling area. Unfortunately you share your view with lots of flies (as you look out to the 'Laguna?!' all you see is 1/2 a building site and the back of a few restaurants and pubs).

I felt like everything that was promised/advertised fell short of expectations.

Once there you will feel trapped there as there is nothing else to do in the immediate walking distance.

A couple of nice things were the frogs that croak all night in the garden below the pool, and the food....although this did fall short again... a pink pepper steak ended up being a green pepper steak, a fruit mosaic for dessert was chunks of melon, pineapple and .... melon?!, blueberry cheesecake was cheesecake with a blackberry and a redberry.. that said it was still nice... prices were from €6-15 for starters, €15-25 for maun courses and €6 for desserts.

Room service/mini bar was pretty expensive compared to normal prices.

restaurant/pool bar dinks were €6 for Gin & Tonic and €3 for beer

This hotel was probably pretty good when it first opened, i guess it was also situated slightly differently to what has been built up around it now. I guess it depends what your looking for in a Spanish holiday/hotel... but this really didn't feel like Spain.
