Looking for a hotel for a couple of nights somewhere in or between Almeria-Malaga, to break up a trip from the East coast to Portugal. Will be the four of us – two kids aged 9 and 12, so somewhere with a lively pool, and maybe all-inclusive, would fit the bill.
Any recommendations?
Have you looked at whether there is one of the paradores on the route? Some of them are very special buildings. There’s a list at https://www.paradoresofspain.com/
We stayed in Jaen and Ubeda and they were both superb. At the time we couldn’t afford the Grenada one but that looks amazing. We did eat at their restaurant though with an incredible view.
Aren’t 5-11yos currently in the bucket of not being able to get vaccinated in UK, but not allowed to enter Spain unvaccinated? Just in case not aware.

@masaccio – you’d be going a long way out of your way to stay in Grenada on a trip to southern Spain!
Yes – currently no one 12 or over allowed in unless fully vaxxed, though there are exemptions for essential travel and EU passport holders (with negative test).
For AI I would use hotels.com with the relevant filters and let it do the work, especially if you collect the free nights. An AI property would bump up the value fo your free night quite a bit. Stick with 4 * and above to narrow down the search results and hopefully weed out most of the concrete monstrosities.

No 12+
No idea when the trip is but possible they drop the silly rules by the time the trip is so shouldn’t we stay on topic re hotels and leave vaccine status etc to the covid travel sub forum.
I think they’ve just assumed that all European nations have adopted the same vaccination policy and speed of rollout as they have. Not as bad as parts of the US where over 5s have to be vaccinated to go in a restaurant! Also Spain is very keen on Covid restrictions – they are still wearing masks even outdoors – so don’t assume the rules are going to change significantly any time soon.
Though they aren’t keen at all on covid passes for day to day activities so that’s a massive plus.
Last summer unvaccinated from non EU nations we’re allowed in with a test so no reason it won’t revert to that now it’s clear omicron is less severe and vaccines have an effect.
