Hotel Lodomar is a very good, 4* venue in which to spend an enjoyable holiday. Rooms are quite spacious and kept very clean daily by the commendable cleaning staff. Reception staff are affable, knowledgeable and persevering. all the amenities function well, e.g. Bar, pool, lifts, etc. On a couple of occasions, the pool ran out of towels, so we had to bring our own towels from the bedroom, but that's not unexpected as demand for towels in August is overwhelming. The best feature at Lodomar is the food quality (went on a half-board basis). Breakfast and dinner were excellent, with plenty of variety, good taste and amicable restaurant staff there to help with any issues or needs. The chefs should be complimented on their efficiency and marvellous taste. Hotel location & access is satisfactory, especially for younger people who are more agile. the nearest beach, Playa de Villananitos, is a good 20-25 minute walk from the hotel, which may not be easily tolerable for older people in the heat of the summer, thus, a car is necessary. Same for shops & supermarkets, the nearest of which is Supermercado Día, at some 16-17 minute walk, followed by Mercadona at 22 minute walk from the hotel. So, a car is again necessary, especially when carrying stuff on the way back. In case you wanted to explore the region by public transport, then the Estación de Autobuses of San Pedro requires a taxi ride from the hotel, costing around €8.00, or a 28 minute walk to the nearest bus stop located across the road from the town's fair. Bus fares are cheap; €4-5 for a single ticket to Murcia (the capital) or the beautiful Cartagena. One of the most unfortunate aspects is the location of the "nearest" airport, la Corvera, which is in the middle of nowhere, at some 30 minute taxi ride costing €64 to Lodomar & €60 from the hotel back to La Corvera. Only rife corruption of politicians can be blamed for the unfortunate and difficult to access airport location. Hotel Lodomar management should seriously consider striking a deal with the local taxi company for concessional airport transfer fares for hotel guests. All in all, we would highly & without any hesitation recommend hotel Lodomar for an enjoyable holiday in San Pedro del Pinatar.
