    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating: 4 star
    • Free Wi-Fi

    The Zimbali Playa Spa on the Costa de Almeria makes for fun-packed getaways with a themed pool and a beachfront setting.

    This hotel hosts activities such as archery, yoga and aqua aerobics, while there's also a tropical pool with slides and waterfalls. The colourful interiors have an African palace theme, and guests can try a range of dining options at the buffet restaurant and two à la carte places.

    This hotel’s a minute's walk away from a sandy beach and a 15-minute drive from Vera's historical centre. It's a traditional town with cobbled streets that's worth spending a few hours in. Alternatively, the seaside town of Garrucha's a 10-minute drive away.

    While you're away, you can speak to us anytime - we're available 24/7 via the TUI App, phone, SMS and email. The easy-to-use TUI App is also packed with info and tips. It sends you important updates, like your airport transfer times, too.

    great hotel
    17 Oct , 2019 philip m, 186364
    this hotel is brilliant right on the beach, everything you need, African themed, with great manicured gardens, and great family pool with children's entertainment, we visited this hotel in July 19, on a day trip when we holidayed in mazarron in Murcia but was impressed, but it was manic with a lot of Spanish gests, we had a week in October when it was winding down but we liked it very much, as for the surroundings a little aqua park is opposite but was closed, and not much else is around apart from a few bars and restaurants , but great hotel and friendly staff.
    Lovely Beach Hotel in a quiet area

    We stayed at this lovely hotel from 12th Sept for 2 weeks. A bit of a queue for check in but 2 coaches had arrived together. Lovely room overlooking gardens and a distant view to pool. Room very clean, fridge, brilliant air con, TV etc no kettle but we brought our own. Great private balcony. The bathroom was very large with separate shower and a shower over bath. Toiletries replenished daily. We stayed half board and food was extremely good with great variety. Do not take any notice of people who say not much variety as they must have limited tastes! Dinner at 8.00 in the evening may be a little late for English children but as the hotel is 95% Spanish guests it is understandable as the Spanish eat later. The pool is at the end of the beautiful gardens which is perfect as no noise heard when in your room. The area around the hotel is mainly residential with only a handful of bars and restaurants nearby. There is a mini train that takes you in to Garucha.which is good to see the other hotels along the route. The only downside for us was that the season was closing on 15th Sept and the toilets along beach closed down also a few of the restaurants too. . Other beach restaurants had limited opening as end of season. This was surprising as still a lot of people on the beaches and weather very hot (apart from the storm that happened which is unusual). This is a lovely hotel. The bar man was fantastic although could do with help at times. The English speaking girl on reception Estafania? was so so helpful especially when i needed some medical attention during my stay. I am sure we will return at some point but not at end of season. There is a shop at the hotel but we did not find it until the end of our holiday!
    Lovely family resort !!

    It is located about 100 km from Almeria airport on Vera beach. We had booked a suite which was very spacious overlooking pool and sea. There was jacuzzi in the room itself. The hotel had a lot of facilities like big pool, spa, sauna, jacuzzi, gym, theatre, 2 restaurants and bars. The garden was kept very well. The beach outside was clean and big. They had a special section near the pool and in restaurant for suite guests. The hotel was totally full with family crowd. The food was quite good and reception staff very helpful. Worth staying !!
    Lovely relaxing holiday 💖

    Stayed at this Hotel in October this is our 3RD visit back to playa Vera in Almeria. As we arrived the sun was out the staff are faultless very clean rooms restaurant was very nice plenty of choice. Turn right out of back gate you can walk into Garrucha in about 35mins. But stop off before at the lagoon there is a lovely bar there great views to chill and pass the time away. Shame we hat to return home as left 29d temp to come back to rain brrr
