Ejido Hotel El Ejido Avda. Oasis s/n Online Booking

Modern and comfortable with all the modern amenities you'd expect from ensuite rooms with that little bit of luxury. Fabulous scenery with golden sandy beaches that are virginal and unspoilt. A host of wildlife and plants - exotic flowers and amazing aromas to be found all around.

A short drive and you are in the comforting and protective Sierra Nevada mountain range - once in that area you can drive up and enjoy some ski-ing if you desire.

For those wishing to enjoy a round or two of golf then there is the 18 hole Almerimar Golf Course which also has a swimming pool and tennis courts so the whole family can enjoy a sporting day out.

Moroccan handicrafts and jewellery, shops that sell the speciality foods and local gifts. Be sure to try the local gastronomy - tapas and wines and some smooth Jerez - sit and chat with the locals and listen to the wisdom and stories.

Roman architecture fills the town and there are excavations that have revealed Neolithic occupation dating as far back as 3000 bc. Be sure to visit the Ciavieja Archaeological Park which forms part of the Cultural Centre - there you will find the remains of a large Roman mosaic and other interesting artefacts.

Be sure to soak up the sunshine on the beaches, relax and top up your energies by splashing in the sea and walking along the sand - bliss.

Good stuff: Central to town, good food, good bar

Bad stuff: shower curtain too flimsy
