The 180-room Hotel Roc Lago Rojo is located by the beach and La Carihuela, known for its outstanding fresh fish and seafood. The hotel is quiet, suitable for tourists and business travelers, although there's no free Wi-Fi and there's a fee to use the Internet corner. The hotel also lacks such extras as tennis courts and spa facilities (although massages are available in high season) that many other area hotels offer. The hotel seems to attract a mostly middle-aged crowd who come to chill by the beach or pool, stroll the promenade, and relax in a location that combines sun and sand with picturesque Spanish streets.

Scene
Rooftop sundeck with hot tub and bar, and a fireplace in the lobby
The Hotel Roc Lago Rojo is a chain hotel offering gorgeous views of the beach and the boardwalk promenade. Velour poufs surround the pillars in the lobby, and there is a fireplace where guests can gather on cool nights. The pool is not large, but its lounge area, with tables clustered on a section of lawn beside an ivy-covered wall, is a pretty place to gather. The rooftop sundeck is the star and centerpiece of the hotel, with its panoramic views of the rooftops and Mediterranean Sea. Guests can camp out on the white-cushioned sunbeds, on the hot tub deck, or in the bar on the comfortable wicker furniture, while sipping cocktails. The buffet restaurant is not terribly spacious or stylish, but there is plenty of food, and the atmosphere is relaxed. There's waiter service at lunch.
Location
Near the beach and boardwalk; a 20-minute walk to the city center
The Hotel Roc Lago Rojo is near the promenade and beach, and offers gorgeous views of the sea. The immediate area is filled with shops, restaurants, and hotels. The city center is a 29-minute walk from the hotel, and the walk takes guests through a maze of picturesque streets with tapas bars, shops, artisans, and more.
Rooms
Basic rooms with private balconies; suites have separate seating areas
Rooms at the Hotel Roc Lago Rojo are basic, but all have small balconies with spectacular views. Request a room with a sea view -- it's worth the extra money. The VIP Superior Twin Room comes with a bottle of sparkling wine, and a fruit basket. The Junior Suites have set-off seating areas. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs with satellite service, but the only English-language channel is news. There are in-room safes and mini-fridges, but no tea- and coffee-making facilities in guest rooms.

Swimming pools, rooftop sundeck, ping-pong, arcade games

There are also ping-pong, pool, and arcade games in the hotel, and a poolside snack bar. Breakfast and dinner are served buffet style in the hotel's restaurant, although there's waiter service at lunch.
