Hotel berhampiran Playa de Bolnuevo, Murcia

Got there a little early, and asked to store our luggage until check in time of 2pm but the young man said let me check if your room is ready, which it was, he let us have the room and directed us where to park our car. Fantastic service. We had a lovely room and throughly enjoyed our stay in Cartagena. What a lovely city

Dear all, it was our first time in Thalasia. We decided to stay in this hotel over Christmas 2025 even though we have our own place in Murcia region. This Hotel and Spa most probably the best on the whole coast. Being Nothern citizens we really needed a good well run Spa. Thalasia was the best choice. RECEPTION: Very friendly ladies, nothing was a problem, replaced everything in the room that didn’t work. The ladies spoke very good English and always there to help. Quick Check-in always prompt despite the fact that it was a very busy time of Christmas. Hotel was full. ROOMS: comfortable huge beds. My son loved it. Everything that we needed especially the fridge (!) so we could store our shopping from Mercadona for evenings. We only booked breakfast. CLEAN - super cleaning ladies especially the lady who cleaned our room - spoke Russian (in case no English - that was a bonus ) and was keen to clean even when we didn’t need to as most days we were out . enjoying Winter sun. She offered towels, dressesing gowns daily. Thank you. WARM : weather was unusually cold this Winter 2025. The rooms were amazing with warm floor all day! We appreciated it when returned to our cold house. FOOD: we had Breakfast booked. It was Buffet choice. We LOVE Spanish food so we all were happy! Truly healthy amazing choice. Lots for the fussy kids! CHRISTMAS: We even joined Christmas dinner for extra price with our friends. The arrival was a bit messy- Dining hall staff couldn’t find our payments though we paid a Day before at the reception. May be due to such business there were queues and delays but overall such great Buffet, Drinks, Families, Fun and Love. Every day Kitchen staff worked so hard. Finally SPA/ Pool. Thalasia is a HEALTH hotel. I personally loved salt/ minerals pools where you could float and chill in high density salty liquid:) Parents (!) Please bare in mind its not an Aqua park. Some kids didn’t like it because they could not jump, play, scream as usual. Saulty water if gets to the eyes will hurt. There 3 pools, lots of bubbly jacuzzi ( kids not allowed for a reason) , 4 strong waterfalls that I treated my back. The Pools were absolutely PACKED every day with guests and locals but somehow we all managed to swim, float, move around and use all the facilities. For me personally it was a great experience to spend Christmas surrounded by Spanish families just like us and all we could see smiles, caring, fun people. Pool GUARDS were very polite and didn’t us tell off badly ( like in some pools) They really cared and told us where we or kids can or cannot go. One guard gave us 1 euro for the Locker when no one told us we needed to have one. As a guest you just go to the Spa in dressing gown. Thank you young man. Spa Staff was super amazing working so hard over Christmas and answering million questions. LOBBY: beautiful Christmas tree, chilling area! Everyone was welcome. We invited lots of friends of us who live locally to come exchange Christmas presents. So all the kids had fun in the lobby. HEALTH: special mineral - salty pools did help. I work at school . I felt much much better from fresh air, walks in San Pedro, eating good food and fixing my back problems in Spa. Grasia Thalasia. We will be back!!!!

Excellent location, room was spacious with views of the town and the sea , bathroom had a good walk-in shower . Could do with more hangers and shelves to put clothing , as there is plenty of space . Breakfast excellent quality and plenty of choice , the service was efficient and the staff worked very hard !

Abbiamo pernottato solo una notte ma devo dire che questo hotel mi ha entusiasmato. Personale di ricezione molto cordiale. La stanza che abbiamo ricevuta, ampia e bella . La colazione, superlativa. Prodotti freschi e di qualità. Il caffè. Possibilità di scegliere diverse cialde con la macchina Nespresso.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The car park is very tight and entry access is particularly difficult but it’s doable. The hotel did charge 10 euros for parking which I wasn’t made aware of beforehand. The room was spacious and clean and the bathroom was decent. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice and a gluten-free section 👍 But the coffee machine wasn’t working so the only hot drinks were from an express machine which wasn’t great. Location was good and we got a taxi into Murcia centre for 9euros. Decent hotel to use as a base for exploring the area.

I was very pleased with my stay at Hotel Occidental Murcia. The hotel exceeded my expectations: the room was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped — perfect for relaxing after a day in the city. The staff was also friendly and efficient. The only downside was the pool, which is small and has limited space for sunbathing. However, this did not affect my overall experience, which was excellent. I would definitely recommend it and would gladly stay again!

Reservamos 7 noches a finales de agosto. La verdad que la experiencia ha sido buenísima. Una habitación amplia, limpia, cómoda, con excelentes vistas a la piscina y el Mar Menor. Cogimos Pensión Completa y nos sorprendió gratamente tanto por su variedad, como por el precio de las bebidas. Las piscinas que tienen son excelentes, con unas temperaturas que parecen climatizadas, camas balinesas gratuitas y dos jacuzzis a pie de piscinas también gratuitos. Tienes tanto el mar menor como el Mediterráneo q escasos 100 metros y con una playa enorme, sin aglomeraciones. El único pero que le pondría, sería que 15 euros/día de parking me parece excesivo.

La habitación muy limpia, y el baño enorme. Tal cual las fotos. Se nota que se ha renovado hace poco y con buen gusto. Está a unos 10 min del centro. Nos ofrecieron unas copas de cava al llegar como bienvenida, un detalle que agradecimos. Volvería a repetir

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and professional. The room was spotless, modern, and offered a beautiful view. I was particularly impressed by the breakfast buffet, which had a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. The location is also perfect—close to everything but still quiet enough for a good night's sleep. I will definitely be returning!
