Cabogata Jardín Hotel

We only stayed for one night prior to going to the airport early next morning. The hotel has a range of facilities, although we only used the indoor pool as the outdoor pools were closed due to very strong winds. Outside bars were also closed leaving only the sports bar as an option for food and drink. However there are several restaurants a short walk away toward the beach. Room was excellent but we thought the charge of 8 euros to park was a bit excessive. Fortunately we got there early and found a space but the only other option was a public car park adjacent to the hotel! hardly what you'd expect from a 'luxury resort hotel'. Receptionist was efficient but a smile and 'have a nice day' wouldn't have gone amiss.

The hotel closed for the winter before we arrived so we were transferred to the Barcelo next door which was excellent!

We are a Canadian family with 3 children driving down the southern coast of Spain. We thought an all inclusive would be so nice... the hotel is run down. The front desk staff were very rude and unprofessional. The selections of food options were nil, and cold. It was very disappointing. I am a flight attendant with a Canadian airline and have stayed in hotels everywhere. This one was what we would consider in Canada a 1-2 star at best.

Nice remodeled room with partial ocean view, bathroom with deep tub and granite. Nice lobby. Corridors and elevators are old and need updating. Our stay came with free buffet breakfast and free use of the spa pools, both were great. Did not stay for dinner, so can't rate. The area is nice with plenty of restaurants within walking distance, but the beach was rocky. Cabo de Gata beaches are a 40 min drive away and much better. Great customer service at front desk. Entertainment was not good, just two clowns dancing with the little kids. In early May, it felt out-season, fellow travelers were mostly British families and older couples. Overall, good deal for the price.
