.jpg) Not
that long ago Mojacar was one of the most beautiful parts of the Almerian coast,
and the Parador was built here so that lucky guests could enjoy the unspoilt coastline,
sandy beaches and crystal-clean water.
However, Mojacar has since changed,
and mass tourism has arrived in a big way, with the result that neither the unspoilt
coastline, nor the deserted beaches exist anymore and, consequently, the Parador
seems to have lost its sense of direction and sense of pride. | Parador

were surprised to see a new congress and conventions centre built within the parador
grounds, just next to the main entrance. Presumably to attract large groups of
customers.
Mojacar Parador is still a fairly attractive option for a family
beach holiday - large rooms, nice balconies, a lovely swimming pool, friendly
reception staff, reasonable restaurant. But it seems to have lost that "something
special", in the same way as the town has too. The interior of the parador
needs sprucing up, and the rooms need a good coat of paint if nothing else. The
gardens are lovely, but they seem to be crying out for a bit of attention and
loving care too. Bathrooms should be modernised, and the quality of the food served
in the restaurant at lunch and dinner could improve. We are reluctant to
be over-critical, because the Parador has a wistful air about it and we think
that if some money was spent on renovation it would quickly recover its former
charm and so remedy to some extent the deterioration of its surroundings. See
