Apartments in Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort

Firstly, this is one of the best private holiday lets we have ever stayed in. It’s an immaculate, spotless property, fully equipped with spacious balconies. The main balcony was our primary living space for the week, with it’s dining table and chairs used for all meals. The balconies sofa and chairs were perfect for watching the evening sun set over the mountains with drink in hand! The shared swimming pool is not done justice by the photographs, it’s of quite a large size and ideal for swimmers wanting to do decent lengths. It’s also perfect for kids as it’s shallow throughout. There was very few people using it making it feel very exclusive. The golf course site is very large and secure, great for our morning runs. We used the restaurant once and the food was good, although for the area, quite expensive. The little cocktail bar over looking the main lake was nice for an evening drink. Although, be warned, if you have a Long Island Ice Tea, make sure it’s only the one otherwise the walk back will be very challenging! We definitely recommend Murcia for a day trip, lovely historical town and good value restaurants. On the coast, Cartagena is a real eye opener, great for military history from Arabic fort structures to World War Two defences. The Roman amphitheater is a must see, nestled in the town and in good preserved condition. The tapas bars and restaurants were brilliant value, with beautifully presented food. We drove to the mountain area near Murcia one day, mainly around the Cresta del Gallo. That’s well worth walking to its top peaks, with amazing views in all directions. The walking trails along the shady wooded slopes are a good escape from the sun too. Overall a great apartment, lovely pool and good site made it an ideal base for exploring an interesting part of Spain that has been overlooked by many. Give it a go! Sam and Mike, Cambridge.

Thoroughly recommend the apartment, we enjoyed our stay and all that the apartment and the facilities offered. The apartment is tastefully decorated throughout and the kitchen well equipped. The views and surroundings were quite impressive with the spectacular sunsets providing a reason for that final glass of wine on the balcony at the close of the day. The site provides a comfort of security with controlled access and peace of mind. We do hope to return again in the future.

We have just returned following 2 weeks of sunshine at this super apartment and have had a brilliant time. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and caters for all needs. The position of it on the site is fabulous and the resort is so quiet and safe. The very large swimming pool is very close and enticing and the perfect way to cool off on a hot summers day. We used the onsite shop and restaurant several times, together with the local town shops and eateries, (can recommend the Indian takeaway!) The ideally situated location within the Murcia region provides access to days out at the beaches, the water park, visits to the large markets and historic towns. Would we come back again - you bet, we do hope to return.

We have just returned from a weeks stay with our children. We had a wonderful time, the apartment is beautiful, providing everything we needed! The resort is lovely, great little supermarket on site and a great restaurant aswell. Brilliant location to the airport and beaches. The pool was great for our family. We did not want to leave. Thank you

Had another fantastic holiday here. The views from the balcony are amazing, and we spent many hours sat there enjoying the sun. The apartment is very highly equipped, and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. We didn't lack anything that we needed, and really couldn't fault anything. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely apartment with great views - golf really enjoyable but challenging rough & bunkers. Swimming pool was excellent with comfortable loungers provided. Nice beach areas within 30 minutes of apartment. Really appreciated the facilities at the apartment - it made for a most relaxing break. Would like to return in the future.
