we stayed for three nights and played three rounds of golf the apartments are excellent but we had to walk to the golf course every day and had to carry our clubs because there was no where to put our clubs at the club house the course is lovely but the greens are a disgrace hairy and full of sand we spoke to some ex pats who said that they have been like that for about 3 years the local town of los alcazares has plenty of eating places la divas is a must fillet stake brilliant all round food great would consider going back only if the greens where sorted out
maybe they need a greenkeeper and not gardner

We stayed in June 2011, first time there and it was fantastic, lovely rooftop apartment, everything you could want for a relaxing holiday, we hired a car but not essential, the beach is terrific. We were so impressed that we are going back in 4 weeks time, this is the first time we have ever returned to the same holiday destination,if your looking for the "lively" scene DON'T go there but if like us you want a lovely relaxing time with good food this is a must

Roda Golf & Beach resort is a relatively new resort located on the Mar Menor, Nr san Javier in the Murcia Region of Spain.

The golf course is stunning and is offers challenges to the beginner and more experienced golfer. In addition there are several other excellent courses in the region including the world famous La Manga.

The beach was literally 6 minutes drive and offered the kids all they could want on the beach and as it is a huge shallow lagoon you the kids could have a little bit more freedom in the calm waters. There was a huge variety of restaurants from authentic Spanish through to Thai. And with the city of Murcia close by with its shops, water parks, architecture and bars there was something for everyone.

We had a great couple of weeks and I would thoroughly recommend this up and coming area

We are similarly renting from the owners in Britain. Penthouse apartment with roof terrace all to ourselves ! We have been to this area about 10 times now and the area is fantastic. Short drive up the motorway is Cartagena (sp) which will let the ladies shop till they drop. The two main restaurants in the nearby town are Rosalinds and in particular Patio Dos, where they do ox fillets on a griddle at your table, mmmmmmmmm.
Can't wait to get back !
Don't be tempted by the "Beach Club" PR nonsense ; it takes ages to get to there ( bus, boat,bus) and is...well...rubbish when you do.
