AR Roca Esmeralda & Spa Hotel

"We stayed here in August 2025, the rooms are quite dated, but it’s a room For sleeping so no big deal really just a bit worn. The hotel itself was lovely, staff were helpful and friendly. The lifeguard was friendly and found us sunbeds on our first day when it was quite busy. He did remove towels during the week but this was people who had been gone for hours and we never struggled to get a sunbed during the week as it was quite quiet. No big inflatables in the pool as there just isn’t enough room when it’s busy but the beach is right outside to use them anyway. The guests were mainly Spanish, but again this isn’t a bad thing and we had a lovely quiet week here. Right on the beach which was a lovely beach. Food could be repetitive but was all fine, we only ate out once. The lion king show was amazing ( the part we seen because our 6year old was tired) Overall we had a nice quiet week here and we probably would come again if we were visiting calpe."

"I booked via booking.com believing all paid upfront all taxes paid. Told later 150 to be paid on arrival. I complained. Appears my complaint was serious and my booking was cancelled. Been 6 times before never will again . Beware hidden damage security fees might take your holiday budget. Should be taken at point of payment."

"Positives first Great position right at the end of the promenade and beautiful sandy beach. Very friendly animation team who made our granddaughter so welcome to join in all activities, also a shout out to the pool guy who was very helpful, friendly and watchful over all the children using the pools. Nice sized rooms and balcony, clean fresh bedding and towels, beds hard but that’s personal preference, everything kept very clean. Negatives Breakfast was ok but we struggled with quality of evening food so ate out. The hotel does need updating , but that does not prevent a wonderful stay in this great Spanish resort."
