Hi,
We like to go to the Intercontinental in either Mar Menor resort or La Torre for total relaxation. I know it's not far to go, but we tend to use 5* hotels mainly & there is not that much choice around. Others we like are:
La Manga hotel
Las Arenas (on the beach in Valencia)
Desert Springs resort (near Vera, Almeria)
We are going to Jerez next week to sample the sherry (again). Fabulous 4* hotel, which we have stayed at before, for only £30 per night (with 12% cashback on top!!).
If you would like a free guide to getting the cheapest hotel rooms, PM me your email address.
Hope you get sorted.
