"Cabo Roigs best kept secret! Fantastic food (especially the delicious fish dishes). Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic large pool together with separate child pool. Well worth diverting slightly from Cala Capitan beach down the Verde to Calle Mistral or down from Cabo Roig beach."

"Visited for dinner, arrived with no reservation but as they were quiet (it was early evening) they were happy to accommodate us. Family of 3 (2 adults and a 2 year old) kids menu was relatively small/limited but plenty of choice on the main menu for more adventurous eaters! Food was delicious, all bought out as it was ready! Would definitely recommend!!!"
