Review 11:Location wonderful for restaurants, bars and beach. Secure free parking. All staff very pleasant. Have been many times and each visit to the hotel is consistently good.

Review 12:There were not many beds around the pool so they soon got snapped up. The bed in the room was quite hard and uncomfortable. No tea and coffee making facilities in room. No balcony furniture.

Review 14:Toilet rolls were to flimsy

Review 15:Staff were helpful, friendly . Hotel very clean,rooms were big ,brilliant location for us , bar staff were really friendly well worth a stay in the 525

Review 16:The location was in the centre of Los Alcazares; our room looked down on the square; the staff were friendly and spoke English and when we spoke Spanish they were encouraging and supportive. internet reception was excellent.

Review 17:We would have had breakfast in the hotel if it wasn't so much extra!

Review 18:Easy parking and no extra cost. Great we had a choice of junior suits and receptionist very friendly and helpful.

Review 19:The worst factor of this hotel is the load piped music played by the hotelin the plaza from early morning until late at night. If we stay again it will not be in a room facing the square

Review 20:The rooms are very spacious and the hotel is in a good location

Review 21:The beds are too hard for me No tea & coffee making facilities in the room No where to get an alcoholic drink in the afternoon Brown decay in edge of bath Loud music from outside late into the night

Review 22:10 minutes from the airport The situation, near the beach Roof top terrace Lovely breakfast

Review 23:My friends had been told they could pay to keep a room on for the afternoon, as they had an evening flight, but on the day this was refused, which made it a long day waiting around with no facilities to shower etc just before they travelled home. This was disappointing for a hotel of this quality.

Review 24:Staff were very accomodating and knowledgeable, excellent location,hotel was well appointed and spotlessly clean, breakfast was well presented with plenty of choice

Review 25:Problems with plumbing in the room, although sorted out quickly. Small pool area, dominated by those not staying at the hotel.

Review 26:Friendly staff and close to all amenities

Review 27:Dust on top of TV and various other places dust can gather. Spa changing rooms had a very bad toilet smell.

Review 28:Very comfortable bed, roof top pool, good location for restaurants

Review 29:Good position near to lots of restaurants great underground parking 5mins from a beach with a long promanade to the old town very pleasant and will go back.

Review 30:Only negative is breakfast quite expensive although very nicely cooked. Just luck whether it was hot enough though. I don't like cold eggs!!!

Review 31:Location and cleanliness and facilities. Staff very helpful.

Review 32:Only a couple of English TV Channels. Intrusive noise (music) from nearby bars into the early hours, fine if you are on holiday because you would probably be at one of the bars, I retired early because I had an early appointment the following morning,Grate

Review 33:Modern, clean amenities

Review 34:Not enough sun beds The pool equipment did not work

Review 35:Staff very helpful Could speak English Room was very large Cleaned daily Bar price just right Free WiFi Jacuzzi excellent

Review 36:Initially finding the way into the parking

Review 37:Sits right on the square where it's all happening in the evening. Dedicated parking. Terrace overlooking the square to people watch

Review 38:Nothing, it was only an overnight stay

Review 39:Great location,very accessible to the airport, restaurants & shops, just a walking distance to the beach, a chic hotel!

Review 40:Hot weather sitting by the pool and no bar open in the hotel till the evening Not for any type of drink We had to pack up and go down the beech

Review 41:Nice hotel

Review 42:the pool being on the roof, only because i wont go in a lift and its so far to walk up the stairs, but thats my problem nothing to do with the hotel.

Review 43:the staff were extremely helpful and very pleasant, the rooms were exceptionally clean and it was central to the lovely plaza and the beach, would definately come back and would recommend this to other people.

Review 44:We have been to this hotel many times and have had no complaints at all. Good value for money

Review 45:The location is ideal for golf there are two courses within 10 minutes of the hotel,and a very good collection of bars and restaurants on the door step.The beach and local food again minutes away.

Review 46:The poor lighting on the corridors to the bedrooms - my mother has very poor eyesight and found it impossible to determine her room number.

Review 47:This is my fourth or fifth time to stay and I think the rooms are spacious and clean, staff helpful and friendly and the location is excellent.

Review 48:Poor lighting in the bedroom. No mirror for make up and hair in the bedroom only full length on the wall by the door. Not enough storage space for clothes.

Review 49:Comfortable, spacious room.

Review 50:pool didn't quite meet up to expectations ie not quite as big as it appeared in the photos but didn't hamper our experience as we chose this hotel for its location rather than pool facilities.

Review 51:excellent hotel - great location - nice rooms

Review 52:I've booked for next May but I may ask for a room nearer the front of the hotel , we were in room 418, as the bar called "The Square" across from the hotel was pretty noisey until the early hours of the morning and I found it difficult to sleep.

Review 53:Its a lovely hotel

Review 54:It's not a big deal but the wifi connection was a bit slow and intermittent.

Review 55:Excellent hotel with great design and decor however the staff made our stay for us. They are good humoured, professional and made us feel very well looked after. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in this area.

Review 56:Suggest the hotel management include a stock list of the contents of the mini-bar in the rooms. we were charged for a bottle of water that we most certainly did not take from the mini-bar. When we protested it was uncomfortable until another couple standing behind us at reception told us they had been charged for two bottles of water they had not taken. The receptionist did offer to refund the charge. Also, I had taken a case down to the car and we left a shopping bag quite visibly in the room whilst we went for breakfast, when we went to check out, the receptionist also advised us the housekeeper had reported we had checked out of our room, consequently the desk had used our Amex card to pay for an item we had signed a room service chit, telling us that quite often guests left the hotel without checking out and paying for items, again left us with an uncomfortable feeling, not a very professional attitude adopted by reception.

Review 57:The location.

Review 58:1The pool bar the staff member was very slow unhelpful. 2 the lack of staff 3 opening times in the main bar ie not able to use until 6 pm. 5the lack of shade around the pool. 6 wifi us

Review 59:The room the cleanliness the reception staff

Review 60:Minor points but our room smelt of smoke and the air conditioning unit was next to useless - not ideal given Spanish heat in the summer. The hotel staff did what they could to try to alleviate this.

Review 61:The hotel and staff were excellent and the hotel was in a perfect location.

Review 62:There was quite a bit of noise down the plaza until about 3.30 am and sometimes the music during late afternoon and early evening was a bit too loud.

Review 63:Would have liked 2 chairs on the balcony even though the balcony was very small

Review 64:Dust under bed and smell of body order in room on arrival which I told the cleaner about next morning. Not sufficient loo roll,run out. Tea and coffee making ie kettle,cups,tea choice and coffee,hot milk not provided in room,not known in a 4 star until stayed here! They have kettles so they should have them in room with a selection of tea and coffee. Had to ask and only given one tea bag others were herbal teas,it's a perk for me in a hotel enjoying a tea or coffee whilst away on holiday. No ice cream choice at all first day there,they had run out. Staff member was busy and low on stock for drinks and struggling with orders. My crisps were stale and she was very rude about it and put my plate over the refuse bin still with my sandwich on the plate and abruptly tipped the stake crisps into the bin,full of germs. Then resentfully shoved a another pack at me. Another guest witnessed this and said I should complain. The youngest staff member at reception with long Curley hair,was very abrupt and had a harsh tone she needs to be more friendly and smile when a new guest checks in. Sets a bad tone and I felt uncomfortable. After a while she sort of softened though prob cos I made an effort! No soap in dispenser in reception toilets,not clean enough and should smell fresh. No loo roll in pool toilets in pool floor. Soap hard to pump from dispenser again not clean enough and smelly. Could do with air fragrance infusers to help as used a lot on 5 th floor. Jets and shower /water features in pool not working. Pool areas should be bigger for such a large hotel. Insufficient loungers per guest ratio. I didn't have a bed first part of day I arrived I had to sit in a chair. This was a not well thought design other guests also agreed. No areas to dry stuff on balcony.

Review 65:Pool area and views, bar area.

Review 66:Could have done with two plastic chairs on balcony

Review 67:Huge room and little touches like ice machine on every floor, separate toilet, washing line over the bath, magnified mirror, good lighting in bathroom, big fluffy towels. Right in the centre and 5 minutes walk to the beach

Review 68:Pool was very cold when first stepping in

Review 69:Very large comfortable bed , free wifi anywhere in hotel and outside. Small pool area but always got a sun bed

Review 70:The air conditioner was not working or it was turned down. Very uncomfortable in the room.

Review 71:The hotel was very good. In a great location. The room was very spacious and clean. Loved the Amenities e.g jacuzzi and hot tub.

Review 72:Had booked a triple room but only got a double and had to wait and ring reception twice before they brought up a spare bed.

Review 73:It's location you can walk straight out into a busy street full with restaurants and evening stalls

Review 74:would ask for a room to rear of hotel as music and staff from 'The Square' bar were very noisy until 4 am and later if I returned

Review 75:Overall experience from checking in until checking out

Review 76:well if you like partying then it's the place to be, the town square comes alive all night and into the early hours, so if your room is above the square you better get used to the beat of the music

Review 77:Clean, spacious air conditioned comfortable beautiful rooms with great breakfast

Review 78:I couldn't say one thing we didn't like about the hotel! We wouldn't keep going back if we could say anything negative

Review 79:We have stayed at the 525 a numerous of times as it is in a fantastic location on the Los Alcazares strip and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful!!

Review 80:the cleaners-even when the "Do not Disturb" sign was showing on the outside of the door,AND THE LOCK ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR WAS ON,the cleaners still knocked to get us up,after trying to use their own swipe card to let themselves in.

Review 81:Could have done with a few more pillows. No patio furniture on balcony and therefore can't sit out. Limited space and sunbeds at pool area.

Review 82:Excellent sunbeds and lovely view from pool area. Rooms were clean and tidy. Free parking. Excellent location.

Review 83:Probably not enough for teenagers to keep occupied. Transport links not the best.

Review 84:Good location for airport. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Short walk to Mar Menor.

Review 85:The boy working in the hotel bar was a joke only disappointment of the hotel

Review 86:Super friendly staff couldn't help enough every request was answered and completed without any fuss clean tidy been there 3 times now

Review 87:Bathroom grout and sealant could have been a touch cleaner.

Review 88:Location, daily cleaning, large room, breakfast, bar area, spa and pool facility, free wifi, 10 mins from airport

Review 89:bathroom could have been cleaner,surface ok but under plugs not cleaned. needs stool or seat as bath is quite deep and hanging hooks needed.

Review 90:location , staff and decor

Review 91:the bar wasnt open as often as we would have liked. no in-room facility to make tea or coffee

Review 92:lovely, clean, modern hotel. relaxed atmosphere location and situation excellent for restaurants excellent air con handy for airport lovely staff

Review 93:The hotel was lovely and the rooms large and comfortable. The staff were very helpful. The air con in the bedroom was brilliant as the weather was very hot.

Review 94:This hotel was even better than anticipated - huge rooms, big fluffy towels, loads of sockets in room ( very important !), comfortable beds, silent air conditioning, really helpful staff and reasonable bar prices. The location is perfect. We will definitely be back next year.

Review 95:No tea or coffee making facility in the room lighting not good in room or all over hotel corridors etc.could do with a bit more shade on roof terrace perhaps a couple of umbrellas to put up if required

Review 96:Large room, comfortable surroundings, lovely shower, everywhere very clean

Review 97:There wasn't a plug for the bath and even after pointing this out at reception one didn't appear. Unfortunately the shower didn't work either. They sent someone to look at it who announced they would have to shut the water off and fix it.....the next day! We weren't happy with that and said so to reception but when we got back to our room it still wasn't working. We were only staying one night so had to get up the next morning and wash in the sink and bidet which we had to fill three times as the plug didn't work. There was no offer of an alternative room nor shower facilities.

Review 98:Staff very helpful and location great. Room a good size. Staff responded to my booking request for a double bed and quiet room. Very clean and lovely public areas.

Review 99:There was no where to dry towels and swimwear. The pool wasn't very deep for swimming.

Review 100:We liked that the room was a constant temperature with noiseless air con. The drinks were very reasonable.

Review 101:Although there are the usual complementary toiletries, there was no soap provided either for basin or bidet. Do we wash our hands etc with shower gel ?!

Review 102:Good standard of decor and comfort.

Review 103:Nothing

Review 104:The location, pool just about everything. Thought it would be a bitnoisy at night as it overlooks the strip, far from it close the windowturn on the air con and enjoy the biggest bed we have ever slept in.

Review 105:Our last day we had breakfast at a cost of 28.00 euros for two . Compliments to the Chef . But we had a long day ahead as a night flight so had a good feast but got told we could not take food in our room What room .Will not be eating in there again did not like the staff

Review 106:It was a fab location, reception staff were very helpfull , an loved the spa area , Also the bar staff were friendly and made us very welcome .

Review 107:No chair on balcony, no tissues for make up in bathroom, fresh air on wall keeps buzzing , as 4 star expected free water and bowl of fruit, wasn't told by reception were lift was.

Review 108:Great location, good size room, good view from balcony ,

Review 109:Solarium is small, gets very busy,and lacks shade.

Review 110:Convenience of location to airport , beach and restaurants. Very clean and comfortable. Helpful, English speaking staff at staff at front desk.

Review 111:Fantastic location in a smart square with plenty of excellent bars and places to eat. Third time staying at this great hotel and always have a great time.

Review 112:Town is poor...lots of vacant lots with litter and grafitti..plenty of se vende and se alquila...

Review 113:Hotel is located near the strip of 30 or so bars and restaurants. Great choice of good food nearby. Very nice beach 5 mins. Beach has 3k long promenade ..great for walkers like me.

Review 114:This was a hotel created by a designer who knew little about hotels. The corridors were very dark and the room numbers were set low down and on the side wall, we had to show a few people were they were as they searched for their room, it also was a difficulty for the revellers returning in the early hours. The bathroom was hopeless with taps that just encouraged you to waste water, hopeless sink that caused water to splash everywhere and a shower in the bath that had a silly short screen, so water is all over the bathroom floor, also the bath was very slippy. The rear of the hotel opens onto a huge area with a vast number of eateries, non looked 4* and generally they were not good prices for an evening meal (by Spanish standards). The hotel had a very nice dining room which was not in operation!! Los Alcazares and the 525 were not my idea of a 4* experience.

Review 115:The rooms were a reasonable size and the bed was comfortable, fortunately we had a room on the opposite side to the restaurant mall so did not have to put up with the noise

Review 116:Seemed a little lax on the housekeeping this year but did not ruin our stay.

Review 117:Location & Shower facilities in the spa prior to departure. We tried to get a late check out but they were fully booked. With the spa facilities there is actually no need to pay for late check out which was an excellent end to the holiday.

Review 118:No bars of soap or shower cap, shower over the bath not easy to get in or out for us older folk, and lot of mould along bath edge/tiles. Tv could not change language on TDTV channels and no non-Spanish channels listed. Bar prices fiendish - pool bar served a tiny flute of average white wine at the price of a bottle.

Review 119:Large room, good hotel facilities, very central for "The Strip" where all the restaurants and bars are. Free garage parking and good WiFi. Reception staff very good.

Review 120:Set in an excellent position close to the airport. The hotel is surrounded by excellent restaurants and bars. A short stroll to a beautiful beach. Felt very comfortable whilst travelling alone.

Review 121:Our stay was very overpriced for the facilities and condition of the hotel. The pool was very disappointing in size, alsothere was no hand soap in the bathroom. Furthermore there were no tea or coffee facilities in the room and a very poor quality of bedding. Finally, you could see exposed wires in the roof of the bathroom! Not a 4 star hotel!

Review 122:The hotel was in an excellent location with a nice spa located at the top of the hotel.

Review 123:The bed although huge was very very hard so much so I ended up with sore hips and my husbands bad back was made worse and it did spoil the experience for us.

Review 124:The room was amazing, a junior suite, clean well furnished and quiet.

Review 125:Shame the rooftop pool isn't a little deeper! I'm 5'9 and the depth is only up to lnee hight - not great if you want to do a few lengths!

Review 126:The hotel is finished to a very high standard. The terrace for a drink is great for people watching as it overlooks the square, yet its not intrusive in terms of noise. Great breakfast, location good for beach and friendly helpful staff. Couldn't ask for more really!

Review 127:Caring, polite staff. Underground FREE parking. Free high speed WiFi available everywhere within the hotel. Superb room service (rooms cleaned & beds made up every day). Verey clean

Review 128:Problem getting the shower to work but maintenance man up to fix it in seconds.

Review 129:Staff were excellent. Air con great and genuinely free wifi. Great breakfast with lots of choice.

Review 130:the only thing we didnt like was the swimming pool as it was small and very shallow but didnt mind too much as we had the beach

Review 131:hotel near beach just 5 minute walk.quiet part of hotel

Review 132:Second time of staying in this hotel. Can't fault it in any way. The staff are very friendly and helpful and although I try my pigeon Spanish, there really is no need as they all speak wonderful English.

Review 133:Dark corridors leading to bedroom bedroom numbers low down. Difficult to see. We had a beautiful corner room with sea view ad view of square. Only problem was the noise late on from the club opposite. Didn't spoil our stay.

Review 134:Location good.hotel spotless. Helpful staff.

Review 135:The bed was hard and very small balcony with no seating

Review 136:We had a junior suite which was very spacious, clean & modern. The hotel is in a good location for restaurants and bars

Review 137:Reception staff (one particular guy)- a little rude and struggled to apologise when an apology was necessary.

Review 138:Rooftop pool, jacuzzi and view were great

Review 139:The over bath shower wouldn't operate and the reception said they can be a problem!

Review 140:Good overnight stop with many restaurants close by. Also secure car parking.
