Citymar Apartamentos Mar y Golf - Roquetas de Mar, Spain     

We booked a one bedroom apartment through greatlatedeals.co.uk because our friends had stayed there and recommended the Mar y golf. Like the previous review we really did not expect too much for the price we paid but what a pleasant surprise. The apartment was spacious, clean and well equipt, the maid service and reception was efficient and the pool was great. The only thing we didn't like too much was the smell from the restaurant (very fishy and garlicy) but that was only in the corridor on the way to our apartment, once we closed the door to our apartment it was fine and the air con worked well. For a quiet, relaxing holiday it was spot on, not much going on at night really. We liked Antonio's for a lunch-time drink, an English-owned tapas bar and walked down to 'the gorilla' for an evening meal then ended up in Theo's bar which is open late most nights, then got a cab back for 5 euro.

well well well, I have just returned from a weeks holiday to this place and my god I didn't want to leave! we booked through another company and got a package flight and hotel for £74 each!!! so we weren't expecting much for that price, we got on the coach from the airport and when it pulled up outside we thought the coach driver had got it wrong, what a great place! huge, tall made of glass amazing lobby we thought the receptionist would laugh at us expecting to stay there for £74 and direct us to a shack down the road but no...what confused us is that the place isn't called mar y golf its part of the bellavista citymar and its split into hotel rooms and self catered apartments. we got a ground floor apartment for 6 people which was great, good size kitchen , 2 twin bedrooms, bathroom and living room with setee bed, balcony was huge we had our own sunloungers but the balconys got smaller the higher up the hotel you were. pool- one huge pool, 1 kids pool with big water slide, 1 indoor small pool that is lovely and warm. lifeguard and pool bar and security guard at night so no late night swim damn. probably a 5 min walk to beach once you find the shortcuts nice beach but not really sandy but has nice beds to sunbathe on, head further away from the built up areas you have the whole beach to yourself and sunbeds are cheaper, roquetas is very nice, lots of restaurants but not much variety really. hire a land pedlo for a laugh the locals hate tourists on them, lots of english bars m25 for a good brekkie. we went with two small kids and there was plenty to do that didn't cost loads, glass bottom boat (delfin negro) was a good day with free transport included. all in all would thoroughly recommend, although i probably wouldn't go again as there isn't enough that could tempt me back that you can't find anywhere else. however for a weeks holiday that cost less than a hotel room in england I had a great time!
