Families, couples and singles on a budget love the excellent four-star value of this comfortable hotel. The Resort is set within extensive tropical gardens on Playa Esmeralda beach, between sister hotel Sol Rio de Mares and the Melia Rio de Oro. Shopping at the guardalavaca shopping centre is only three kilometres away. Play a round of mini-golf, take a dip in the large free-form pool and, at dinner time, try the vegetarian restaurant on the beach.
