Senator Mar Menor

Jaime bien la vérité propre calme bon service

No funcionaba el aire acondicionado en la habitación. Me cambian de habitación y paso lo mismo. Estar en pleno Julio y que no funcione el aire acondicionado es imposible dormir. Hable con otras personas para ver si era yo y todos me dijeron lo mismo. No puede ser que un hotel de 4 estrellas no funcione el aire y menos en esa zona donde en verano hace mucho calor y mucha humedad.

We are on the last day of our wonderful holiday to Spain, staying for 9 nights at the senator mar menor. It's been brilliant! We are a family of 4 including two children (age 12 and 10). Here are my pros, cons and tips: Pros: *The apartment is huge! We stayed in a 2 bed apartment and it's v spacious. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, lounge, dining area and separate kitchen. *The kitchen is fab, well equipped with large fridge, freezer, oven, microwave, toaster and washing machine! *We stayed self catering and had all the plates, cutlery and equipment needed to cook and eat well every day. *We had lunch in the hotel bar a couple of times. They serve pizzas, burgers, pasta and all was very tasty! Good ice creams and drinks too! *The swimming pool is great and my children (and myself and my husband) loved the water slides! The water in the pool was lovely and warm. *The near-by beaches at Los Alcazares were lovely. Shallow water, very warm, very relaxing! Cons: *The apartment could do with some updating as a few things were broken in ours! (chair covers were shedding white stuff which we found on our clothes and the floor, the bath took ages to fill (as the fill function was broken so we had to fill it with the shower head!), the dish rack cupboard door was broken (my husband fixed it during our stay!), my children's cupboard door was broken, the bathroom lock was broken, the kitchen door handle was broken) *The balcony was lovely with a great view of the pool, but it was a squeeze to fit 4 chairs out there! and it's really only made for two! (but we did manage to all eat outside a couple of times with a bit of a squeeze!) *I had a weird experience one day with the waiters/bar staff in the hotel bar who basically ignored me and only spoke with the Spanish guests. However, I think it was a one off as on all the other days, there were v nice staff behind the bar who were happy to serve me. *The pool table in reception was great for my children! but it often didn't release the white ball (!) and there was no triangle to line the balls up. Tips: *We hired a car and I would recommend that! We used the car most days for day trips out and about. We hired the car from centauro and they were very good. Booking in advance from UK gave us better rates. *There are jellyfish in the water around most of mar menor but they are harmless. At the start of the holiday we were all a bit wary of sharing the sea with the jellyfish, but by the end we didn't care! My children were picking them up, putting them in their fishing nets and playing with them! The fried egg shaped ones really mean you no harm! *The water in the mar menor is lovely and warm, almost hot. It's also more salty than the sea, so you can float about! It's very safe for kids because it's so shallow, and the high salt content makes it very hard to sink! The high salt content is also very healing (so I was told!!) *We went to a few beaches around mar menor. The ones near Alcazares and San Javier
