Breakfast
The breakfast is varied, featuring ample choices that cater to a range of tastes and appetites. Many guests find the breakfast to be abundant, tasty and satisfying with exceptional service adding to the overall pleasure. Fresh orange juice and the sweet breakfast selections were notably praised for their freshness and quality. The good value for money and option for cooked breakfasts starting later in the morning, appeals to both late risers and those seeking a hearty start to their day.
However, the timing and complexity of the breakfast service have drawn mixed reactions. Breakfast service starts at 9am, considered late by early starters and the options may be less extensive compared to the evening meals or a typical buffet. Some describe it as basic or underwhelming with occasional comments on the limited hot food selection and perceived mediocrity. Despite this, the efficient table service and overall hospitable environment still elevate the experience.
While there are a few criticisms about the quality and variety aligning more with a simple fare rather than an elaborate spread, the general consensus leans favorably with many highlighting the peaceful setting, friendly staff and the delightful backdrop of the Mar Menor. The scenic and relaxing breakfast setup on the terrace remains a hallmark, making 'BALNEARIO LA ENCARNACIÓN' a worthwhile visit for most travelers.

Rooms

Smaller rooms have been noted for feeling cramped and sometimes uncomfortable. Although the beds are occasionally described as comfortable, several reviews cite the need for better sleeping arrangements. Despite these drawbacks, the quaint and charming décor of the hotel adds a unique flavor that some guests have found endearing.
