We had a lovely family holiday at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right near the beach, and the staff went above and beyond to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The room was clean and spacious, although the indoor pool maintenance was a letdown. Dining options were good, but I wish the setup was a bit more streamlined during peak hours.

We stayed at this hotel with a large group, and while the location near the beach was fantastic, there were several issues during our stay. The rooms were acceptable but not up to modern standards, and the food quality left much to be desired, often feeling bland. However, the pool area was enjoyable, and the staff, especially Sofia at the reception, went above and beyond to assist us despite the challenges with service during peak periods.

This hotel is ideally situated just steps from the beach and offers a variety of facilities that cater to relaxation and leisure. The rooms are spacious with nice balconies, although there was a bit of noise from traffic. The dining experience was enjoyable with plenty of options, though some may find it a bit hectic. Overall, it's a solid choice for those looking for a comfortable stay with good access to local amenities, but there are areas that could use improvement, particularly in the service department.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The proximity to the beach and the variety of food options were definite highlights.

My recent stay at AR Roca Esmeralda was quite enjoyable, thanks to the modern vibes and the attention to cleanliness. The food quality was impressive, especially at breakfast, where there was an abundance of options. However, I did face some challenges with the all-inclusive service, which wasn't always clear, and the pool access was limited without the proper caps. Still, I appreciated the spacious suite we received after an initial hiccup with our room assignment.
