Staying at the Best Mojacar from 14th to 28th while visiting family living in the local village of Turre and as a holiday hotel. To visit Turre public transport was limited a car essential. To visit along Mojacar Playa bus service met most of our needs, or Taxi to Mojacar Pueblo due distance and steep walk. Staff were excellent for all info and arranging transport needs. We found the buffet style food excellent a wide selection we preferred to go for more Mediterranean style rather than eating food more common example chips and pizza in UK. Choice on salad bar was excellent fresh and appetising, Stir Fry cooked to order excellent as were choice of main meals and deserts. Meal times were good you were never rushed although earlier was probably best. During the first 11 days the staff were excellent making sure you were well and truly looked after. The last 2-3 days the coffee machines needed a little help to get the drink you wanted due to a reduction in staff. We put this down to end of season closure and don't believe it was normal. Rooms were clean tidy with service everyday all staff polite and keen to look after you around bars restaurant's and cleaning staff. Entertainment staff around pool and games kept guests happy with numerous activities including petange bowls archery table tennis board games not to mention water exercise round the pool. bingo in Spanish and English was also a big hit. For the more active a good Gym was available on site. Book again? YES

“Noisy and tatty”

On first impression this all looked good if a little tired (paint scratched/ soap dispenser hanging off wall/ broken tiles on the terrace/ wonky steps into pool) but it soon became a difficult stay we looked forward to moving on from.

On first impression this all looked good if a little tired (paint scratched/ soap dispenser hanging off wall/ broken tiles on the terrace/ wonky steps into pool) but it soon became a difficult stay we looked forward to moving on from. The view from the room was stunning across the sea and pool plaza. This meant all entertainment/ music was below and heard in our room. Zumba / bingo were blasted out early evening then evening show until 11pm + when the terrace was cleared by tables and chairs scrapped across the tiled flooring. So midnight before peaceful when people stopped running / singing along corridor. If you are a party animal, this is for you, if not, think again. Oh and there's no English tea bags in the tea selection!!! For a hotel with loads of English guests this was unbelievable.

“A nice hotel - More three star than four star”

This is a perfectly adequate hotel, however, the bedrooms need updating. Our bathroom ceiling was leaking and ceiling was mouldy. No kettle in room.

This is a perfectly adequate hotel, however, the bedrooms need updating. Our bathroom ceiling was leaking and ceiling was mouldy. No kettle in room. Fridge needed defrosting, massive chunk of ice at the back that was bothering me, I almost did it for them! In terms of entertainment, it is all in Spanish. The magic act, the mini disco, the activities during the day. Luckily I speak Spanish but for English families that are expecting entertainment, you won't be understanding it. None of the entertainment team speak English. They made a big effort but only if you were Spanish. We went half board and every night there was a different theme at dinner. Our main issue with the restaurant was that the plates were often dirty! It was like they had been too closely stacked in the dishwasher. We always had to look for a clean one (same with the cutlery) and we saw other families do the same thing. The gym's cardio machines were probably about 50 years old, the treadmill and cross trainers don't work. Plus the air conditioning in the gym was never on so it go pretty hot. So to summarise - If you want a very Spanish feeling holiday and a very Spanish area, it's great. Don't expect four star standard though.
