Marchamalo / Barco Perdido

Very interesting rural village near beautiful beach

Six night stay with two kids. It was a bit out of the way. The property was nice enough, once the construction is complete, will be a lot more comfortable. Our room had a strange smell, this was the last stop of our two month trip and we really did not feel like moving rooms, so we didn't say anything, but it was not a pleasant smell. Room spacious, appreciated the bath tub. Expedia advertised a fitness room but that was not true. We loved the pool. Restaurant food was excellent. No complaints about the breakfast buffet! Helpful staff. Would stay again (hopefully in a room without a smell).

The rooms are relatively basic but clean and tidy. It's literally on the beach so you can't argue about access to the beach, but in the evening there is nothing nearby in terms of bar/restaurant other than one downstairs which closed early when we visited. We ended up driving into Aguilas to find dinner.
