Fantastisk udsigt over frontlinjen over golfbanen

Thanks, Geoff. Much appreciated.

We strive to offer a personal and professional service to make your holiday as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We have a page on our website where guests can download maps, directions, a restaurant guide and other useful information about the house, the resort and the area in general.

Unfortunately La Torre is still seasonal, with many of the bars and restaurants only open in July and August. We stayed at the resort in the middle of June and whilst the venues that were open were very busy, it was disappointing that the tapas bar, the rice restaurant and others were still closed. I don't agree that the staff are totally disinterested in customers and I've not noticed that it is particularly any different from other areas of Spain. We've always had good service on La Torre, although we do tip and always order in Spanish. (Imagine if a German person came to London, one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world, and ordered in German all night; what sort of service would he receive?) There's a number of bars and restaurants in nearby Roldan, 2.5km away. These are already in the sat nav at the house and listed in the restaurant guide, which can be downloaded from our website, details of which I give to all guests once their booking is confirmed. Some of them offer courtesy lifts. The good news is that Polaris World, the resort developers, sold the hotel, bars and restaurants in December last year. We were hoping the changes would come into effect by this summer at the latest, but Spain being Spain, it will be next year now, with the opening of the hotel planned for February 2017 - a full 15 months after being sold! The new owners run a successful resort further down the coast, so we are very optimistic that they can turn things round. I'll make sure your feedback is passed to the new owners so that they are fully aware of the areas they need to work on.

Thanks, Louise. Glad you still enjoyed your holiday, despite this dreaded pandemic putting a dampener on things.

Thanks for this. The main holiday season at La Torre starts on 1st July and runs through to the end of August. Much more goes on in those two months, including the popular Friday markets, with food, drink and music. I always recommend hiring a car - even in summer - to make the most of the local area, with beaches, Murcia city and Cartagena around a 20-25 minute drive away.
