we stayed for one week at the marina playa with our 17 year old son in february after reading mixed reviews on the hotel. On arriving we overheard someone complaining they had not been allocated a seaview room which they had requested as we had! anyway we had got our request and the room did have the best position right... more

Just got back. Hotel was very quiet (due to being out of season). Was upgraded as soon as we checked in. Great sea views from room. Room was a bit worn, but we was told that the maintaince men were about to start cleaning up the hotel, which is understandable, seen as though the season has finished. Not going to... more

I found this hotel perfectly fine for the price and what we needed, when you travel as much as I do, this is fine. It's half board is good.

Our room was spacious with 2 fairly comfortable Queen size beds but the bedding was of very poor quality and only... more

We stayed here for 4 nights in early March 2007, as part of a touring itinerary, before heading up the coast. We booked our lodging through the hotel's web site. Although we do not condemn this hotel, it does not deserve some of the flattering praise from other Trip Advisor members. The Costa de Almeria is one of the least... more

We recently spent a very pleasant couple of nights at the Marina Playa, having come across an excellent low season, half board deal on the internet. The hotel is stylish, modern and very clean with spacious rooms that have 2 large double beds and a good size, well equipped bathroom. It is well located with a clean expanse of beach... more
