Puerto Mar 3 - Galeria del Mar is located in La Manga Del Mar Menor, Spain. Rated 9.0 out of 10 based on 3 guest reviews.
Puerto Mar 3 - Galeria del Mar in La Manga del Mar Menor, Spain, suits travellers who want a beach break with the practicality of a self-contained stay. The property sits on Gran Vía, km. 14, placing you close to the La Manga strip where you can switch between Mar Menor calm waters and nearby coastal stretches. Expect a comfortable base for everyday routines: air conditioning helps keep rooms pleasant in warmer months, and free wired internet makes it easier to plan day trips or check in with family. Guests also mention the pool area as a welcome fallback when the beach gets busy, with an outdoor swimming pool plus an exercise/lap pool for those who like to keep moving.
Reviewers rate the stay highly at 9/10 based on a small set of guest comments, and the recurring themes are straightforward: it works well for groups travelling by car, it’s practical for families and children are welcome, and pet owners appreciate that pets are allowed. One guest-style takeaway is that the on-site feel is supported by logistics—there’s parking available, and the property notes free parking, while self-parking may involve a surcharge depending on how you use it.
If you’re planning outings, Cabo de Palos is about 14 km away for lighthouse views, and Cartagena’s Roman Theatre and Museum is roughly 23 km from the property for a culture-focused day. Playa Paraíso is around 4 km for a classic beach outing, and Los Nietos comes in at about 9 km if you want a longer stretch of sand.
