Hotel stands a few minutes walk from the beach. Good location in the centre of things. My room quite nice, side sea view (504) my friends room was huge but overlooking the street with a large balcony which got the evening sun.(532)The hotel does not have enough staff,it was a terrible scrum in the dining room, waiting for a table to be cleared, waiting in line for the live cooking and then everything being cold once you got back to your table. There are only 2 small lifts for about 500 rooms, and they are also used for the portering of luggage. Takes for ever to get served in the bar, and my friend swears the drinks were watered down. Last 2 days the place was full, so not enough loungers round the pool. The entertainment was terrible, bingo, quizzes,and a spanish trio shouting on top of their voices. It was deafening. We ate out a lot at the M25 cafe which does a super cottage pie, and had some good entertainment at the Caribbean Breezer with Errol and Co and their drinks definitely were not watered down. I think all the Playa hotels should do away with this crazy live cooking, live queuing more like, specially at breafast where one guy was doing the lot. I had a to do with a Spaniard who thought I'd jumped the queue, it was awful, never went in again, 4 euros gets it served to you and it arrives hot. Love Roquetas, have been 3 times but would not stay here again.
