Playacapricho Hotel  

On Spain’s Costa de Almería in Roquetas de Mar, right on Playa Serena’s promenade and just steps from Roquetas de Mar Beach. The hotel sits in the tourist centre with shops, bars and public transport nearby and is a short hop from Castor Park and Playa Serena Golf Course. Beachfront, family-friendly and pet-friendly — perfect for active beach breaks.

The 323 air-conditioned rooms have private furnished balconies with panoramic resort or sea views, minibars, satellite TV and en-suite bathrooms (some with shower/tub combos). Décor skews traditional with lively, family-focused touches and roomy layouts.

Huge lagoon-like outdoor pool with water slides, integrated children’s paddling pools, sun terraces with loungers and parasols, plus an indoor heated pool, Jacuzzi/open-air hot tub and solarium. On-site play and sports include mini-golf, ping-pong, boules and shuffleboard, while entertainment programs and kids’ clubs keep little guests busy. All-inclusive rates are available; parking and babysitting services are offered for a charge — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and hop straight to the sand.
