I agree with Paul & Carol, we did it in October and it took just over 2 hrs.  However, if you come out of the airport and head west towards Murcia it is a very direct route, with no toll to pay (you do that on the route from Murcia airport).  On this route you just follow the route to Murcia and Almeria until you get to Vera.  The only place you have to be careful is as you approach Murcia, you must stay in the right hand lane as the road to Almeria goes off to the right and if you miss it you will find yourself in Murcia!

Ken, There is one very big difefrence between Thalassa and VBC, whereas people staying at the complex (that is VBC & Vera Coast) can use the facilities without paying, there are full time attendants in the Spa and people who are not staying there can use the facilities by paying for them.  The rules are easily enforced by having staff there all the time.

Sue, Further to Phill's post.

We have used Vera Beach Club for many years and the facilities include pool, jaccuzzi, gym and sauna.  Bathing caps are obligatory in the pool and under 18 year olds must be accompanied.  We have found the facilities fairly uncrowded though we haven't used them since we have been in Thalassa.  Opening times are 0830 to 1400 and 1700 to 2230 and I think that they are closed on Saturdays.

Thanks Ken that is perfect.  Unfortunately you have to register and I do not have the postcode and address of THalassa with me, so it will have to wait until I get back to the UK.
