Third time lucky

Reviewed By 432christie

It took us three times of trying to get to this hotel due to covid. We were really pleased with the hotel. Right on the seafront excellent views from the balcony. It was supposed to be a side sea view but we looked straight over the sea. There were enough sun beds no need to save them but some people always will! We found the food really good and a few speciality nights which we all enjoyed. Entertainment was hit and miss. Excellent Saturday night (the lady with the hoops). Other nights not as good. Rooms are due a makeover just to brighten them up. All staff were excellent and friendly. Our Grandchildren age 7 & 10 had a wonderful holiday. We like Roquetas de Mar as the Spanish holiday there as well.

Good but not great

Reviewed By Kirst_Jo28

Really would have liked to give this a 3.5 rating as it’s better than ‘Average’ but I wouldn’t say it’s ‘Very good’ for a few reasons. Positives: - Great location on the beachfront/promenade with lots of lovely restaurants within a few minutes walk. - The pools were amazing for our children- especially the one with the slides but even the main one was great as it had a sloped floor which was ideal for our little one. - Immaculate grounds, lots of palm trees and flowers- really well kept and very clean. - Apartment was spacious. - Good facilities in general. We went self catered so didn’t eat here but it was handy having the supermarket on the complex and great having the park there aswell. We also had a lot of fun on the air hockey tables which I haven’t played since I was about 9 years old! Negatives: - Apartment although clean and fine for what we needed, was pretty basic. No kettle or toaster- had to request and leave a €20 deposit which I can’t say I’ve ever had to at an apartment before. The view was pretty terrible, really just a rock face and a bit of sky. We would have paid more for a sea view but didn’t have the option upon booking- we did email and request this if possible but no such luck. - Check in was painfully slow and seemed it was not just a one off because every day without fail there was a HUGE queue across reception. It seemed to take around 15-20mins for each family to check in which for a coach full of people takes an incredibly long time. Not sure what the hold up is but that really could be improved. All in all we had a wonderful holiday and the couple of negatives didn’t detract from us having a good stay. It was decent value for money and if in the area again would stay here

Hotel Best Mojacar

The Hotel Best Mojacar is located in Mojacar, a few meters from a golf course and just in front of the sea. It’s an ideal hotel for families and couples who wish to enjoy an exceptional holiday.

Spanish clientele takes priority over English

Reviewed By Chris-Mansfield

Well, where do I start with the Best Mojacar hotel? It wouldn’t be fair to say it’s lousy, I am sure some people will love it, but we definitely won’t be coming back. It may well be that we came a bit too early in the season ( mid-May ) First impressions count for a lot and our first impression of this place was not good. After several hours of travelling and having no food available on the plane, our first port of call was going to be the hotel’s cafeteria/bar for a quick bite to eat. No such luck, they don’t serve food!! A cafeteria that doesn’t do food? (Unless you count a bag of crisps) …. It’s the first time I have ever come across this in all my travels. and I am in my 70s, so I have travelled a lot. So, we had to head out of the hotel to one of only two local beach bars … yep, you heard that right, just TWO local bars. The next bar is a kilometre up the road. The streets around the hotel are pretty deserted. This area is very very dead, you definitely need transport here, unless you like a good walk. Local buses are cheap and if you can figure out their timetable it’s probably the best way to go. All the trips I went on were just 1.20 euro. At first glance the hotel looks big and impressive, and our room was a good size with decent large beds. But after a while you begin to notice that everywhere is all just a bit run down and in need of some TLC. Our bedside lights were hanging off the wall, The lift to our floor had rusty doors touched up with silver spray paint.. The view from our room was good, looking out over the pool area and sea . Be aware…. There are NO air conditioning controls in the rooms. Management controls the cooling for you. So open the windows a bit at night or get roasted. Obviously the hotel will run the A/C as little as possible to save money. This is most definitely a Spanish hotel geared up for Spanish guests. Most of the staff struggle with English. BUT, If they want to attract English guests, which they do, by using Easyjet, then they need to start adapting to their new clientele. I don’t want fish & chips and a pint of Guinness. It Would also be handy if Easyjet had a rep’ that visited at least once a week to tell us what’s what in the area. Just someone to ask questions about the local buses, local attractions etc and some sensible dining times would be nice. The Spanish people tend to eat late and dinner here starts at 8.15pm. Too late for me, I don’t want to go to bed on a full stomach. We switched over to having lunch here and going out in the evening. We came here with Easyjet, and their advertising describes a hotel with a full programme of day and night entertainment ? . They do have some daytime and evening activity but it’s 100% Spanish.. I have no clue what is going on most of the time, they don’t seem to realise they have a good deal of English people here, nothing is translated or announced in English . Also, it doesn’t get going till almost 10pm, so no chance if sleeping much before midnight . We booked half board, I am glad we didn’t book full board because from what we could see when we switched from dinner to lunch, it seems dinner and lunch are very similar, today’s special was Pigs trotters  . Breakfast was ok with a decent selection, although tea and coffee from vending machines is never good The pool area is very nice and there seems to be a poolside bar, but I never once saw it open while I was here. Bring your own Beach towels if you can. The hotel’s poolside towels are as thin as dishcloths and they also want a 10 euro deposit, even though no one would ever dream of stealing them they are such cheap rubbish. If you like to book all inclusive, I wouldn’t bother, full board is much cheaper, unless you want to get plastered on cheap local booze? You won’t find all the usual food goodies that most other places offer with all inclusive, all you will get here is a bowl of crisps and an ice cream …. You can’t even BUY a sandwich or a toastie or Tapas, they simply don’t have them!!

Mediterraneo Bay Hotel & Resort

An inconsistent mess of a hotel, run bizarrely with Unfriendly and unwelcoming staff. Would never revisit or recommend

Reviewed By kwmullin

I do not usually leave reviews but I think people should know about this place. We travelled with Jet2 and are a family of 2 adults 2 children (3&5). Not an ideal start as the transfer coach left us at the end of the road with 2 kids, 4 cases and a buggy with incoming traffic. We could see the hotel was about 130 yards but with no actual directions. We crossed the road near some wheelie bins and made our way to the hotel. We were greeted by a very, unwelcoming, unfriendly and unenthusiastic receptionist! The main reception area, lounge and bars are however nice, tidy and modern. Our room was modern and tidy with two large beds. Unfortunately, a black hairball had been left in the bathroom sink. We were given a room on the 3rd floor with a beautiful view of the sea and mountains but the railing on the balcony was old and rusted and did not look safe. We stayed half board, evening meals in the main restaurant did not start until 7.30pm which in my opinion is too late to eat with small children. We were asked what we wanted to drink before we had been seated but no drinks menu was provided. The food in the main eating area was mostly good with fresh meat and vegetables /fruit. The kebab was a highlight. We ate once in the Italian restaurant which was mediocre. The snack bar outside was just disgusting, the only edible thing being chips, the man working there was very grumpy and seemed to follow the same attitude as others by treating foreign guests as an inconvenience! I was served a burger which was bright pink in the middle. Straight in the bin! Not much choice and no ice creams on offer which is not good for families. The main swimming pools were good and the slides were good. It was all decked around and the kids had fun in them but around the back area there was no decking so very slippy! Only half of the hotel swimming area has been upgraded with the non slip artificial decking. The outdoor toilets were very slippy underfoot and got wetter and more slippery as the day went on! Our little one slipped in there as did I, lucky it wasn’t a trip to hospital! There was a lot of work going on in the hotel at the time but this did not really affect our stay. On the Friday the hotel became hectic when large numbers of Spanish arrived for a weekend getaway. We felt it was positive that the Spanish holidayed there as we thought it said a lot about the hotel until we suddenly became invisible to staff with them being given priority over other guests! Big queues for meals and difficulty in getting a sun lounger! Sadly, was ignored at the bar when staff prioritised the Spanish over others who had been waiting before them! On the Sunday evening the hotel held a salsa event for locals where the main bar area was cleared away to accommodate this. As guests we no longer had anywhere to sit and relax in the evening as the priority seemed to be accommodating this. This ran from 5pm until 10pm and was never mentioned prior by Jet2 or the hotel. Most of the staff were quite rude and made you feel unwelcome with very few speaking English so this did cause some issues. As far as entertainment goes there was not much for younger families. There was a disco down a flight of steep stairs at 10pm!! which is way too late for young ones which consisted of a few of the animation team dancing around to baby shark. The hotel has some amazing and stunning views but did not have much going on. Very desolate with a few basic shops nearby, a few bars/restaurants and a rusty overpriced kids funfair. Very archaic. Not the most welcoming of resorts with uncomfortable stares from locals! The resort also only seems to open up on the weekends, it is very quiet during the week. Very surprised that Jet2 advertise as a ‘family favourite’ you can get much better for your money elsewhere. The hotel and resort do not appear to be overjoyed at foreign tourists! Not a place we will be revisiting! Or an area we would visit again either. When you spent this kind of money on a holiday this just isn’t good enough. Jet2 holidays need to drop this hotel.

Good family holiday

Reviewed By Rachel C

Overall we had a lovely family holiday, arrived late and they had plated up everyone a cold salad in the restaurant with a bottle of water, a very nice gesture! At first there wasn’t much on throughout the day for us to do, but on 1/6/22 everything changed. Kids club and activities started (all in Spanish so my son struggled), the restaurant had a cooking station making fried eggs, omelettes & pancakes at breakfast. Then 3-4 choices of meat or fish cooked fresh, also crepes and French fries at lunch & dinner. Food was nice and always something to eat (I am a fussy eater), but the food was a little repetitive. As others have said it is a very Spanish area and not many people/staff speak English. I believe her name was Rose at reception and she was a lovely lady who helped out with anything we needed from getting a taxi, pool towels and she even got my son into the local aquarium for free. The beach is pebbly and not sand, there are toilets, play parks and bars dotted along the way. You can get a bus at the roundabout if you walk straight up and turn right to the bus stop, we went on the bus to the local market (only on Thursdays)/grand plaza (has McDonald’s/Burger king) my son is a very fussy eater. Other shops include Toys r us, JD Sports and H&M. I do not speak Spanish so used google translate to help me! The hotel is dated but everything worked as it should and it is kept very, very clean. Day and night there were people cleaning all areas of the hotel. Our room was cleaned daily, bed linen changed once during our weeks stay, but bedding made every morning. I would visit again as we did enjoy our stay, but it would be better if I knew some Spanish words!

Enjoyable stay

Reviewed By Eric B

The quality of food was very good – buffet style and ability to choose your own amount of food. Bed very comfortable. Standard of cleaning excellent. Reception staff excellent. Room layout basic but adequate. Toiletries in bathroom in large bottles ( sadly a little watered down) which were better than the small bottles often available in other hotels. Soundproofing was very good indeed. The kids seemed to be very well entertained by a very enthusiastic clown. Downsides; towels thin, stupid headboard lights, checking in was the worst EVER – queue over an hour long (MUST be a faster way of doing it) and check out by 10:00 !

The staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are large (ideal for us as a family of 5) and the hotel is very clean. Both the outdoor and indoor pools are lovely and a fab view of the beach. Breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets all offerer plenty including fresh made to order items eg. Stir fry, pancakes, omelette etc. All Inc drinks were great and included premium brands. Location is fabulous, right on the beach where there's a stunning promenade that goes on for miles and some lovely little restaurants, bars and shops around.

Looks better than it is

Reviewed By mum4mum

We were a group of 10 Adults 5 children paying roughly £450 for 5 nights booked with love holidays. For the price we’d probably give it 4 out of 5. Pros: swimming pools which were out door, indoor, baby pool. Good choice of sun beds, close to beach, bathroom clean and seemed quite new, well functioning lifts, swimming pool slides, Some of the activities, drinks weren’t perfect but were more than ok. Cons: food - the All inclusion food was just about ok for our duration. Breakfast the best meal - plenty of choice. Lunch ok but sometimes had to just put bits of average things you might eat even if they don’t really go together. Dinner was more of the same but of a poorer quality. The meat was pretty awful, however no one went hungry. swimming pool is freezing and on a boiling day a quick dip in the outside pool is bracing but nobody really swam or played for long, not only because of the temperatures but because the pool is too deep for most adults to stand up so requires treading water or swimming. Beach - it looks idyllic but it’s shingles and sand and very sharp underfoot, the sea is not as clear and inviting as the pictures portray - there were several schools of jelly fish making it unwise to swim in. The whole beach doesn’t seem to have any life, there’s the odd restaurant, bar and gift shop but no real feel aside from dated and a bit tacky. The local area (within walking) is run down/under developed we struggled to find a decent open restaurant for a celebratory night out. There was a confusion with the transfer back to the airport and we needed reception to help explain the situation to our diver and show him our paperwork but he was unhelpful and quite rude - thank god for Google translate and an understanding driver but poor shout from the hotel - which was a shame as reception staff had been great until then.

Reviewed By Trip788131

This is the first review we have written after over 30 holidays abroad over the past 15 years as we felt we had to inform people before booking this hotel of our experience. We booked as a family of four with 2 children (boy aged 17 years and girl aged 7 years). We booked a superior bedroom with a garden. On arrival, the room had 2 double beds which was inappropriate for a 17 year old boy and 7 year old girl to share the same bed. We raised this with the reception and they informed us that all rooms had only double beds except for the upgrades and to return tomorrow morning to see if they had any upgraded rooms available. They told me they had no single beds at all in the hotel. My son ended up spending the first night on a sun lounger that we dragged in from the garden - so uncomfortable he got hardly any sleep. I went to reception countless times the following day to find out about the upgrade to be told to come back later. Eventually they found a single sofa bed after complaining many times. On top of this, we had a fridge that was not working, I called reception to be fobbed off staying that it was not a fridge and it keep things at a consent temperature. This was a lie as when we had the maintenance guy come and fix the ceiling fan that was hanging dangerously off the ceiling and the safe that was not working, we asked him about the fridge and he brought us a new fridge that did work (he was the most helpful person at the hotel). All of the entertainment was in Spanish and entertainment team made no attempt at all in communicating in English. We arrived at the start of the half term (29 May) where we were expecting everything to be up and running, however the day activities where limited along with kids club 3 times a week, only one restaurant was open and had limited people serving at the bars so queuing was a problem. Every time you go to the bar, you have to take your card (no wrist bands) and the amount of times we had to return to reception as they stopped working at the bars and stopped working getting into our rooms. The queue at reception on average was a 10 minute wait most of the time which was annoying when you just wanted to get into your room or a drink. When we booked, we booked for all inclusive expecting this to be for the whole of our stay. Our flight was departing on the last day in the evening. We arrived for lunch to be told that all inclusive finishes at 12pm and we would have to pay 100 euros for the 4 of us to each lunch!!! The fact we arrived a week earlier in the evening and did not use the all inclusive on the first day, I thought this was not on. On a positive side, the weather was great and we never had a problem getting a sun lounger, With our experience, we definitely would not be returning to this hotel.
