Hotel Los Delfines

8/10 Good

"Good clean hotel close to the beach."

Grand Hyatt La Manga Club Golf & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great choice at breakfast and excellent Club access extras given free at check in"

Hotel Izán Cavanna

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My stay at Hotel Izán Cavanna was excellent. The hotel is in a unique and beautiful location, with stunning view of Mar Menor. Being able to enjoy the beach just steps away from the hotel made the experience truly special. The room was comfortable, clean, and had beautiful views. The facilities were well maintained, and the pool area was a great place to relax after a day of exploring La Manga. The breakfast should be better with more variety . The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. What I loved most was the family-friendly atmosphere. The hotel is perfect for families with kids, thanks to its safe beach access, spacious facilities, kid-friendly pool areas, and convenient location. It made traveling with my daughter easy, relaxing, and enjoyable. One of the most memorable moments of my entire trip to Spain happened here. From the hotel, I was able to watch the most beautiful sunset of all my vacation in Spain. The views over the Mar Menor were absolutely breathtaking and created memories that I will never forget. I highly recommend Hotel Izán Cavanna for families, couples, or anyone looking for a relaxing vacation by the sea. It offers comfort, great service, spectacular views, and an unforgettable experience. I would definitely return in the future. ☀️🌅🌊🏖️👨‍👩‍👧❤️"
