Mediterraneo Bay Hotel & Resort in Roquetas de Mar

Stayed 11th–18th April 2026. Not a great experience from the start—slow check-in and no luggage storage, just bags left by reception. Arrived late at night to find the air con broken. Told the hotel was “fully booked” so we couldn’t move rooms, yet it clearly wasn’t. Took until the next day to fix after a very uncomfortable night. Pool was dirty at the start of the week, entertainment was poor (same act repeatedly), and no animation team until midweek. Restaurant staff were rude and abrupt, often clearing plates without even acknowledging you. Food was repetitive and poorly labelled—definitely not suitable for anyone with allergies. Other issues included inconsistent shower temperatures, long waits for lifts (only two), and the “Green Monkey” restaurant being closed most of the stay. Overall, it feels like this hotel only makes an effort when it’s busy. Would not return.

Well I'll try to keep this as short as I can. Firstly we've travelled to many places and hotels and i've always tried to find the best in each one, not here, the most important thing is if your travelling alone or just want to feel safe in your hotel room please be aware that when you deadbolt the door for extra security you can still open it from the outside this happened on all our rooms ( i did make them aware of this) so please check this. I've given the hotel a rating of 2 one for the comfy bed and one for the location of the beach /sea view. On arrival queued for 50 mins to check in, so slow. On to the rooms * If you have children please beware that the hot tap/bath tap if pushed a little to far gets scalding hot. * No paper bin or mirror in the bedroom, kettle or even a bottle of water in the cooler (not a fridge) no draws either and the pole for the hangers was to low so your dresses crumpled at the bottom. * No aircon on anywhere as it was out of season although temp up to 28 degrees some days. * staff found it difficult to understand you as they didn't speak English and we're all as miserable as sin including the cleaners ☹️. *The entertainment is catered for the Spanish, the artists they had on sang in Spanish. 1 women singer 3 times , 1 man playing a keyboard/sang 3 times and a violinist once all week. * Pool area is ok we only saw them sweeping around the pool once and cleaning the tables (which were dirty) that same day Pool was clean but cold. Sun loungers ok I must point out that if you going over the bridge to the other sunbathing side towards the sea please be aware of the lighting cubes on the floor these are a major trip hazard and a accident waiting to happen if not already. * Food is ok at best , breakfast is good , lunch and dinner is basically the same everday, and if the ques are long for the ("show cooking" 🤣🤣) you get undercooked food. The pizza plates don't get changed they just throw another one over the top of the bits that are left. The pancakes are nice and freshly made lunch and dinner though. *Now for the people omg Its true that Friday,Saturday and Sunday morning until lunchtime at least the hotel has a massive influx of Spanish guests like every where else we went they are incredibley rude, they hough, puff , moan and shove passed with no courtesy whats so ever. If your thinking of going to the market I'll save you the time and trouble its got fruit and veg and just rows of tables full of cheap tatt mostly clothes and shoes thrown on tables where people rummage through it. If you do decide to go, book a taxi(anywhere)because the buses are a nightmare the locals dont think they should que and if you dont move quick enough they started getting all angry one old man was literally pushing me in my back with both hands to move. We wouldn't go back to the hotel or the area basically were not for them and there certainly not for us 😡 !!

Please avoid if you have children no entertainment mini disco for half an hour down flight of marble stairs no pram ramp food was same every night worst part was being told air con didn't work throughout the hotel also the pool was ice cold children didn't go in pool once everyone just sitting around with there families not even music or radio on was the worst hotel I've ever been to wish I would of read reviews before booking as we waited 5 months for this holiday absolute disgrace English travel agents should not be selling this hotel in package deals absolute disgrace and to top it off on arrival home weve all been bit with rashes told its fleas! We were not the only family with the same bites coming home please avoid
