Hey Gil,
I sent you a PM recently and I havent even got a reply but, no matter. Try googling Pueblo Indalo Hotel Mojacar Playa. October would be fairly quiet there, but I think you would have a great break. I would suggest eating out and not in the hotel as the choice of decent restaurants is good in the area.
If you decide to go there just PM me and I will supply names of good quality eating places.
