Our hosts (Merche/Pepe) were so helpful, we got lost getting there so we rang them and they were on their way to pick us up.Adding to that they took us for a tour of some highlights of San Jose which was spectacular. Very knowledgeable and so friendly welcoming us to their house and country.The villa we stayed in had everything you needed and it felt like home

Merce and Pepe made us feel very welcome, they gave us advice about local places to visit and where to eat. The days began with a smile and a delicious fresh breakfast on the terrace. Use of the terrace, jacuzzi and pool with views of the mountains. A fabulous place and cosy rooms decorated with good taste. A short distance from the city and the beach, it is an ideal base for everything that the natural park of Cabo de Gata has to offer. Highly recommended.

It’s not just ‘another hotel’ in Cabo de Gata. We knew what type of service we would get (we recommended it by friends0.. And the result was even better than we could have imagined. Only 3 rooms (complete: air conditioning, large bathroom, ceiling fan, dressing room, fridge, towels etc) our room also had a large private terrace (to wake up surrounded by mountains and to see the stars before going to bed was a luxury). The communal areas (pool, jacuzzi, dining terrace) are delightful. And what makes Agua Marina different is to share the ‘roof’ with the hosts, Merche and Pepe. 100% at the service of their guests with infinite kindness; what’s the best beach depending on the wind, where to eat (simple, chic, elegant, cheap, expensive, fashionable, etc) where to find adventure, snorkel, what to visit, local products, recipes etc etc.. They live there, share the communal areas and obviously have other private areas. But even more to their credit is that they know how to give each guest the degree of proximity with which he is most comfortable. From sharing a delicious and hearty barbecue with them and other guests and at the same time knowing when to maintain a polite distance from guests seeking a bit more privacy. It’s situated on the outskirts of San Jose, barely 1.5km away from the beach, although it is common to drive to the endless beaches in the area. As well as providing breakfast, they offer to make other food – beach picnic, dinner or even a barbeque if you give them 24 hours notice and for a reasonable price. I hope we can return but without a doubt, I will also recommend it to friends who are keen to enjoy this beautiful part of Spain

I have been to Agua Marina and I give it a 10 in everything. The house was very clean, perfect facilities (especially the jacuzzi at 36 degrees). Merche and Pepe are perfect hosts, you feel that you’re at an old friend’s house. Highly recommended and a visit well worth repeating
