Firstly, we'd like to say the staff work very hard and could not be better; both friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced drinks and meals. Nuts and olives were brought with some rounds of drinks.
Great place to watch the world go by. Near to bus station, which also has a nice bar, so together they form a little sheltered square off the main road in and out of Cuevas.
The rooms have balconies and this place really makes you feel like you're on your holidays.
Turn right. Head up to the Castle with its cafes, bars and El Castillo restaurant, plus a market twice weekly (Tuesday & Thursday).
Turn left. Go towards Av. Barcelona, with the lovely parks and cafe culture. Ice cream bars, Irish/international bar (very cool) and shops.
Generally the town has loads to do. Beautiful town squares, town hall, churches, views, fields, hills, walks and all the amenities any town or city would need.
Walk to the dam for views and water sports. A golf resort (Desert Springs) is less than 5 minutes by car, where Ian Botham and Daley Thompson have holiday homes and where there are restaurants, pools, gyms and spas.
Several supermarkets are a very short walk from the hotel. Taxis are over the road, but buses are so cheap. This town is very Spanish, which is great, and the place is very laid back. Many fiestas occur all year. You have some quite days here and some busy days with plenty going on.
Just bliss.
The beaches of Cuevas are about 10 minutes away. Cuevas includes the lovely village of Villaricos, where there is a dance festival in August (don't worry - hotel is safely a good car journey away), and two marinas. Quiet the rest of the year, but nice places to eat and drink. Likewise Palomares village is nearby.
Cuevas has a motocross in the summer near the river.
Then heading south is Vera town and Vera playa. Nudist beach is you want it. Clothed if you prefer. Lovely beach bars - "Chiringuitos".
Vera is great to catch buses further afield all over Spain from this central location.
Mojacar Pueblo and Playa are about 25-50 minutes away, depending on whether you drive or take the bus.
Beautiful, again chiringuitos - loads of bars, shops and restaurants - lovely beaches. Even restaurants that do loads of fish, meat and even vegan dishes. Mojacar is a tourist resort, so more international crowd. While that's fine, it is always good to get back to the real Spain in the wonderful Cuevas del Almanzora.

Modern, clean and cosmopolitan

Our arrival in Cuevas del Almanzora wasn't promising. The way we arrived showed us a rather dingy, industrial town with a very interesting demographic. The fact that it's a mining/quarry town probably explained that!
The hotel was fairly easy to find although it took us a while to find anywhere to park - the listing online says "Parking available nearby by reservation". It was January so we hadn't but we think we ended up parking just by the car park that's probably referred to in the listings. 
Initially, we went to the little shop (sort of a Tabacos) which had "Cuatro Vientos" above the door but the lady there showed us into the actual hotel which has a surprisingly pleasant, clean and enticing interior. 
We were checked in quickly and efficiently (get your tourist Spanish ready - no-one spoke English) and went to our comfortable twin room. It was clean, spacious and had a perfectly acceptable bathroom, with good, clean fairly soft towels. 
Our room overlooked the large roundabout/junction and the area directly outside seemed to be used by a car-towing company to load vehicles onto the back of the tow truck on a rather regular basis. Still, it wasn't particularly noisy. 
The room was a good temperature and the French doors opened onto a very small balcony immediately over the outside eating area belonging to the hotel.
We scoured the surrounding area, including the surprisingly lovely old town (about a 20-minute walk away) but found not a single bar or restaurant! Wondering if we'd gone the wrong way, we went back into the hotel to ask the barman where we could find a restaurant and he immediately produced a menu. After checking there were vegetarian dishes available, we decided to simply stay there. It was a good choice. We shared delicious patatas alioli (potatoes with garlic mayonnaise) and a huge mixed salad with hard-boiled eggs, plus a couple of glasses of red wine. It was very good value (about €14 for the whole lot). 
The beds were comfortable and the noise from the road outside didn't permeate the room to disturb us. 
My travelling companion was unfortunately unwell the next morning (nothing to do with the food!) and the guy behind the bar/reception was very helpful in giving us directions to the nearest Centro de Salud where we were sorted out quite fast. He was still there when we went back to check out and very kindly asked if we'd found the health centre OK and how my friend was feeling. Very friendly. 
The room was good value - €50 (no breakfast). 
I would recommend it - just be aware that it looks like it's not in a very salubrious part of town but it turned out to be perfectly safe and the very pretty old town is worth the walk.

Nice little hotel in a slightly odd town

We went there for a night out in Mojacar!
The hotel is 10 min far from Mojacar. Mojacar in this period is always complete and if you find something is always very expensive. 

The room was little but perfect for us and for our expectations
Very very clean
The owner is a very kind person.
