Grand Hyatt La Manga Club Golf & Spa
Hyatt have done a superb upgrade on this hotel. It is 100% better than it was was before. Rooms are lovely, bathrooms are better with a big shower rather than a bath. A nice tea/coffee/mini bar area. Great servive too!!

Hotel Sercotel Carlos III
Good size room and bath. Only worry was the leaking "shower glass wall". The water ran out from under the wall and flooded the whole bathroom. Lifts were somewhat "personal". Not very well functioning. Parking was available, but with very narrow spaces. A SUV was not the easiest to park. No lift ...

Hotel 525
Nice hotel in a great location close to bars and restaurants. Room spacious and excellent facilities. Could provide free water which is typical of most 4 star hotels and better pillows. The long bolster was quite hard.
