AR Roca Esmeralda & Spa Hotel

The hotel offers a diverse breakfast and exceptional cleanliness. Guests appreciate the beachfront location and friendly staff. However, some find the rooms a bit dated or lacking amenities.

This hotel is so clean and in a perfect location. Really close to the beach. Not many things to do outside the hotel for children not sure if it was because we went out of season. Pool was cold but warmed up throughout our stay. We used the spa changing rooms on the day of our flight as check out was midday. Staff were very friendly and lots of local Spanish people at resort which shows it was a good choice. I went with my 7 year old and mum. Food was a lovely selection each day always fresh. Please be aware drinks are not included in the full board option so at lunch and dinner there is bottles of water / wine which are accessible but these are not free! I learned the hard way after helping myself one afternoon only to be told I would be charged! 3 euros for a bottle of water. We got a jug of sangria instead each lunch time at 11 euros each. Normally we would take squash or a drink brought from the supermarket for my son. Not lots going on at the hotel for children but think if we went later in the season this would be different. Just note in the pictures of the pools there is a pool for residents only which we were not allowed to use it didn’t make this clear when booking. Was a shame as I’m sure it’s a heated pool and most of the time was empty! All in all a good hotel and we would return. I would say the hotel is more aimed at couples, adults rather than children there was a pool table, a ride on motorbike and small arcade machine but that’s i in regards to entertainment. We didn’t attend any entertainment at night as it started so late but a few people we spoke to said it was ok. Can’t comment on the spa as we didn’t use it. But looked nice enough when we went to use the changing rooms. Free WiFi works great.
