Hotel Roca Mar

Petit déjeuner parfait. Environnement très agréable

Our room had a fabulous view of the ocean

Very clean 👌 breakfast was amazing, so fresh and plenty of everything 😋 staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful 👏 sunbathing on the side of a cliff with 109 steps from my room was just amazing, little breeze, dip in the ocean pool and plenty of room for everyone 👌 entertainment in the evening was an added bonus, very talented singers and dancers 😀 my sea view room in Roca Mar was the topping on the cake, very private 😉 with a hig enough balcony, not overlooked by anyone 👌 cleaner cleaned the room everyday and insisted when we said it was fine, how they work in the heat is beyond me👏 fair play girl's 💪 I'll definitely be back.

Air conditioning wasn't the best, room still felt hot with it on😯

The most beautiful aspect of this hotel is its location — truly stunning. However, when you open the door of the room, you don’t actually see the view. You need to step out onto the terrace. And the terrace is shared with several other guests, so it isn’t private. It is extremely windy. I’m not sure if it’s just the season I came in or if it’s always like this, but it’s almost impossible to stand outside. The wind is so strong that it blows everything away — even your glasses or phone if you try to take a photo, since it’s right by the ocean. Still, the view from the terrace is very beautiful. Although it would probably be better if there were a glass fence or windowed barrier, so you could see the ocean from inside the room. It would definitely add more value to the hotel.

The negative aspects include the strong wind and the fact that from the ground-floor rooms you cannot see the ocean at all. Only the upper floors have a proper ocean view, so guests staying on the lower level are deprived of this experience. There is a kettle in the room, but usually you would expect tea, coffee, and sugar to be provided, especially in a hotel that is not inexpensive. Here, there was absolutely nothing — just the kettle. There were cups as well, but no coffee or tea. Another point: towels are usually soft in hotels, but the main and most disappointing issue for me was the pillows. They are very old, filled with small pieces of cheap foam, and are extremely uncomfortable for sleeping. These definitely need to be replaced. For a hotel located on the outskirts of the city and charging this price, at least the pillows should be good quality. They are not expensive items, but they are essential, because people come here to rest — and after two or three nights with such pillows, you may even end up with headaches. I will definitely attach photos of these pillows and a video showing how the filling gathers in the corners, leaving the middle completely empty. When you use the SPA, they give you a towel specifically for entering the SPA area. However, if you rent a room for 2–4 days or longer, you will not receive any additional towel, and there is nowhere to dry it. Since it is November now — and soon winter and spring, when the weather is cold — you need a place to dry your towel so you can use it again the next day. But they offer no such option. If you hand the towel back because it becomes damp and starts to smell, the next one you receive must be paid for. This is very strange and really should not be the case. If you pay for the hotel and use the SPA, you should receive a fresh towel every day, or at least there should be a drying rack or some space to dry it properly.
