Alegria Palacio Mojacar - Adults Only

Flew out to this hotel on 2nd May 2023. Bad start to the holiday arriving after 10 pm to NO food so had to order in a pizza!! Having spoken to the Jet2 rep a few days later, I understand that there will be something put in place Lovely hotel, two weeks of not having to lift a finger with great service from all the staff - particular thanks to Ziad, Victor, David, Olga, Laura who all seemed to work around the clock Few tips to enjoy your holiday more if in a standard room - tea bags, travel kettle, coffee, pegs (there is a drying line provided on the balcony) and coat hangers - two girls for two weeks and we had 8 in the wardrobe!! Storage is just about adequate for, I would say, a 7 day holiday but, suitcases do fit under the bed so can be used as extra drawers and both of our hand luggage pull alongs fitted on top of one of the units to use as drawers too so, with a little bit of creativity, you will be able to manage This is an old hotel so do not expect 5 star boutique finish however, everything is functional. Plenty of really hot water (except for a two day malfunction of the boiler) Balconies to standard rooms are only suitable for sitting out and are solid so feel a little claustrophobic. If you want more space, it is worth paying the extra to upgrade to large balcony. Our room overlooked the golf course - room 111 where the forward and side sea view were fabulous but to the right, some rather unkempt apartments that have seen much better days Food - you will not get fish and chips or standard bland British cuisine and it is served "warm" - usual all over the continent. Choice is second to none and if you can't find something you would like at breakfast, lunch or dinner that would be surprising indeed!! I've posted pictures of a typical lunch offering. Breakfast is just as large and you can bag yourself a full English!! Evening meals are bang on for myself and Daughter All inclusive package is generous with some odd restrictions - you can have a pot of tea served on the terrace but tea bags seem to be protected with staff lives :) You can eat from 8 am to 10 pm if you are so disposed!!! Meal times are long - lunch 1 pm till 3.30 pm, dinner 7.30 pm till 10 pm - there is a delightful sweet cart to take away something nice for later - lovely touch Tea and cakes are provided for all guests in the lounge area from 4 till 6 whatever board basis you have chosen. Lovely time to get to know fellow travellers This is not a "clubbing resort" and this hotel is not within easy walking distance to any clubs and bars - taxi to Garrucha or Mojacar Playa is around 12 euros The rocky beach is a few minutes pleasant walk Shopping - I would recommend Vera for the ladies with all of it's fabulous boutiques and prices are FAR lower than in the coastal towns. Be careful if you want to visit Vera playa as it is almost exclusively "Naturist" Hundreds of delightful, very confident sparrows seem to live in the grounds but feeding them is act

Visited the hotel for the second time from 21st to 28th Octobber. The hotel closed for the winter next day. The hotel is very relaxing, wonderful staff, rooms are fine and food is varied and enjoyable. It was my wife's birthday on the 26th and our daughter and my wife's sister paid a surprise visit. We visited the Desert Springs golf complex but apart from this stayed around the hotel. Will certainly visit again next year

Lovely hotel, based halfway between Mojacar Playa and the market town of Garrucha. We used this as a base to explore the nearby towns and to enjoy the sun during the afternoons. Superb rooms, staff were friendly and attentive, and the location is great if you are wanting a varied stay.

Read some of the varying reviews about this hotel, decided to book all the same. Don’t bother booking on an All Inclusive basis, as you honestly get treated like second class, an inconvenience to the staff. None of them look happy, if you opt to buy your drinks, they will take the spirit bottle to you with a nice mixer..if you are on AI, they come out with a concoction of god knows what with the next from the tap. The hotel itself? Paid for a sea view and balcony, absolute waste of money, we were looking at the back of the hotel for our “Sea view” the balcony? As people have said it is ridiculously small and we couldn’t use it. This hotel backed on to a golf course, it was at the end of the *****, miles away from shops and restaurants. The pool area was shocking, in fact they need to get the green keeping staff from the golf course to cut the grass, what a mess. To sum up, we rarely ever complain about hotels and restaurants, this one was awful. Find somewhere else where they value your custom. We live in Spain, and have done for 12yrs..worst hotel we have stayed in

Ignore the 2-star review by the manchild who said that he would not return back in Sept 2019 and posted his review on TA. But return he did this year and was still negative about this hotel. Yes, it is a Spanish hotel, but we did not have any problems with service from the staff. The food as usual was excellent with plenty of choice. The cleaning was again first class. It is our 4/5 time at this hotel, and we are returning next year for 2 weeks, as standards have not slipped. Since Covid, the new "Hello, big boy pool" has been reconfigured. Has anyone has noticed? Surely, an amusing addition to the hotel!

There are so many things we like about the hotel, we have been coming here for years. This last trip has made us question whether we will come again. As an adult only location it's usual clientelle are cyclists and the 'more mature'. We have enjoyed the quiet ambience, but ths time the entertainment hs been noisier and extended longer into the evening, making it much less relaxing. Early nights have not been an option which has detracted from our experience.
