ALEGRIA Colonial Mar Aquafun in Roquetas de Mar

We are a family of 4 - 2 adults & 2 kids age 12 & 8. We stayed all inclusive in 1 family room with 2 double beds. Hotel is nice & clean. Our room was nice. Enough clothing storage for all 4 of us. Had a fridge, kettle, safe & hairdryer. Large bathroom with a walk in shower, air-con worked fine. We had a balcony with table & 2 chairs with a pool & sea view. Food was ok. Everyone found something they liked even with picky eaters! Breakfast - sausages, eggs, smoked bacon, pancakes, omelette, cereal, bolied eggs, yoghurts, croissants, donuts Fresh warm baked bread for lunch & dinner. There is chicken nuggets, hotdogs, hamburger & chips served in the restaurant 11-1pm then reopens for lunch at 1 .30pm. My advice is go early for lunch & dinner at opening times to avoid queues . All inclusive was 11am-11pm. Obviously breakfast & breakfast drinks are included . You can ask for water at any time. Alcoholic drinks include 3 different cocktails, beer, wine, and local spirits. There are slushy drinks, cornetto ice creams , sandwich ice cream, crisps & nuts that can be asked at either of the 2 bars 11-11. Queues are massive for the bars and all inclusive stops at 11pm so you can buy drinks after this time or get water only. You get water in small bottles, all other drinks in a mixture of glass, plastic & cardboard cups. The pools are great: a quiet pool at the back of the hotel, a splash pool, toddler pool with slides , a jacuzzi area, a pool with 4 different slides sectioned off from the main pool area . Not too deep my 8 year old could stand up on her tiptoes . There was plenty of lifeguards on and all doing a great job. Watching constantly. Pool opened at 10am and slides opened at 11am. If you put towels on sunloungers before 10am and leave them they will be removed unless someone is sitting with them. Kids club was 11-1 & 4-7 my 8 year old enjoyed it. They put the English kids together. There was games during the day for juniors & adults. They were aimed at Spanish people mainly. We all got up and joined in but entertainment crew mainly only spoke in Spanish. There was an instance where my husband, 12 yr old and I was pulled up by a female entertainer to join in on archery which we joined however when the male entertainer wrote names of people joining in down he looked at us and ignored us purposely. We asked him to join in and he ignored us again. We had to write our names on the paper ourselves . This was just plain rude! Entertainment every night was quite late 9.30pm for kids disco onwards . It was all in Spanish . We didn't mind as could still enjoy it. You can access the beach via a gate. It is a shingle beach and gets really deep a few metres in the sea that my husband couldn't stand up in so need to watch the kids in the sea . We did a pirate ship tour- went out to sea and jumped off boat into the sea. Couldnt see any fish unfortunately. You walk along the promenade takes about 30mins with kids. There are a few bars wi
