Hotel TRH Jardin del Mar is a four-star resort hotel set directly on the shore of the Mar Menor at Los Alcazares, a coastal town approximately 40 kilometres east of Murcia city and 25 kilometres from Cartagena. The hotel occupies a beachfront position on the western shore of the Mar Menor, the largest saltwater lagoon in Europe, whose shallow depth, warm temperatures, and consistently calm surface — sheltered from Mediterranean swell by the La Manga isthmus — make it an exceptionally well-suited destination for families with young children, elderly bathers, and watersports beginners who prefer sheltered, gentle conditions to open-sea swimming.
Room categories include standard sea-view rooms with direct outlooks over the Mar Menor, garden-view rooms on the landward side of the building, and family rooms with additional sleeping capacity for groups travelling with children. All rooms are air-conditioned and include free Wi-Fi. The hotel provides direct private beach access to the Mar Menor shoreline, with deck chairs and parasols arranged on the hotel's beach strip during the warm season from May through October. An outdoor pool serves as an alternative to the beach, and a separate smaller pool caters specifically to younger guests. The restaurant serves a daily buffet breakfast and an international menu at lunch and dinner, with regional touches including Murcian rice preparations and grilled Mediterranean fish reflecting the culinary character of the surrounding coastline. A poolside bar operates seasonally, and the main lobby bar is open year-round.
Cycling paths running along the Mar Menor shore are accessible directly from the hotel and are popular for morning rides along the promenade. The town of Los Alcazares has a pedestrianised seafront promenade with a range of restaurants, ice cream parlours, and small shops within a ten-minute walk. Watersports hire, including kayaks, paddleboards, and pedaloes, is available from local concessions on the Mar Menor beach. The hotel is accessible by car from the AP-7 motorway via the Los Alcazares exit and operates primarily as a seasonal property with peak activity concentrated between May and October.
