We booked a late minimum 4-star SC AOA deal for our first holiday without the children in 20 years and ended up at the Puerto Marina Aparthotel which we were very happy about. It had only recently opened for the season and only the first 3 floors were occupied while we were there. First impressions were good on arrival but we were even happier with our apartment and the huge 18' x 9' balcony. The room was clean, spacious and nicely furnished with a well-equipped kitchen area and thoroughly deserved it's 4-star rating in our opinion.
I can't comment on the evening entertainment or the restaurant as we never went to either but I don't think we missed much from what we heard. Also, the large main pool is unheated and was absolutely freezing which is why only the bravest souls seemed to use it when we were there.
The location of the hotel at the the southern end of Mojacar Playa was fine for us as we had a hire car for the week but may not be ideal for others who don't. However, as the local bus stops right outside the hotel getting about locally really shouldn't be an issue.
We had a excellent week with great weather and would go again like a shot, no problem at all.

Our holiday this year was Fantastic. The holiday Reps were excellent, the entertainment was excellent, the apartment was excellent - do you get the feeling we had an excellent holiday.
My daughter really enjoyed the Kids Club, it gave my husband and I a couple of hours to ourselves.
The evening entertainment starting with Kids Disco and ending in the main event was all fantastic. We had such a great holiday we are thinking of going back next year.
The only downfall and it is very minor was that you are on the edge of the Playa and it is a fairly long walk if you want some form of excitement but to be honest if your that desparate you just hop on a bus (75 cents) and get off when ever you liked.
We found the entertainment at the Puerto Marina was so good we didn't need to go off site. The beaches are great - nice and quite - not covered in sunbeads and umbrellas.

We stayed at the puerto marina in august for 2 weeks. We had a party of 16, we had 3 apartments which were great. Very clean with maid service 5 days a week. Each apartment had a huge terrace which overlooked the pools and the sea.
We had breakfast on several occasions which was quite good, buffet style for 6 euros per adult.
The hotel is situated at one end of the resort, the promenade stretches for several miles. Just 5 mins walk is the start of the beach, restaurants and bars. The hotel staff were not the most friendliest of people, mainly the bar staff. The reps worked hard but the entertainment was not great.
If i was to visit Mojacar again i would probably go back to the Puerto Marina.

we where staying at the hotel for the 2nd time and even so I was clean and in a wonderful location but it was are second time and was not as good as the first but you can understand that.
The rep's where not as organised as they where before and had not much skills as it comes to entertaining!
They put on a performance and had to sing and dance (and make fools of them selfs) the play was on Grease and in one seen 'danny' head butted 'sandy' on the nose!

Hotel was dirty. Staff were rude and unhelpful. First Choice ran out of complaints forms which show how bad it was.
We tried food at hotel was stone cold, when my 12 year old son complained in front of hotel restaurant manager, he threatened him.
Swimming pool was without lifeguard many mornings when they did turn up they sat watching the women. Saw approx 4 accidents by the pool in 2 weeks!

We absolutely loved the Puerto Marina. Had a 2 bed apartment which had lots of room with a huge balcony with the most wonderful sea views. We ate in the restaurant a few nights mainly on BBQ nights and had breakfast there a few mornings. Nothing spectacular but on the nights when we couldnt be bothered going into the town it served our needs.
Lovely pool area. First Choice kids clubs and night time entertainment left a lot to be desired. If you want a change some night there is a lovely French Bar across the road which showed all the big soccer matches.

On arrival we were very impressed with the standards of the hotel.Although we had asked for a low floor room with having 2 small children,we got 6th floor but it proved not to be a problem as balcony was great and very secure.All staff were extremely friendly and helpful.It was kept very clean including round the pools and terrace area with two life guards on hand throughout the day.We only ate in the buffet restaraunt once and although it was spotless and food was quite nice,it was cheaper to eat elsewhere.the further up the playa you go the cheaper it becomes and food is great(with less flies hanging around your plate!)Entertainment by first choice was great although not a lot for under 5s (ours are 5&2)Very hot so could do with indoor play area for midday sun

We first visited here in May 2003 on a last minute two week holiday. I have to say I had never heard of Mojacar before arriving but did some research before we left. We were thrilled when we arrived as the hotel was brand new, beautiful and our room was massive with a really big safe balcony. When we got up in the morning and opened the curtains we couldn't believe the view - an amazing view right across the med!
The hotel is clean and fresh and the staff work like Trojans to look after the customers.
The entertainment is very family orientated and the children love it - especially the magic show!
The First Choice reps are great and the children loved the kids clubs who were inventive and kept my children motivated and happy. Helen was there in 04 and she was brilliant, I think my little James, then aged six had his first crush. He still keeps a picture of her.
There is loads of facilities in the hotel and all reasonably priced -
Out and about, which you must do:
Beach:
The beach is great with hardly any people on it at all. It is sandy, clean and the sea is lovely and warm. There can be sea debris if there has been a storm out to sea - but this is rare. The sea can get choppy and there are one or two steep drops in certain areas. There is usually a lifeguard on in high season.
All along the beach there are brilliant children
