After paying £210 each for a week we weren't expecting The Ritz and it was absolutely fine for what we paid.

Room
There were 4 of us sharing and the bedroom was ok with a big wardrobe but the living room was a bit disappointing as there was no where for the 2 of us to put our clothes etc even though there would have been plenty of space for a chest of drawers. There was a microwave, kettle, hob, plates, cups and cutlery but nothing for washing pots and the kitchen is in a sort of cupboard so when you are using it and have the doors open it's too dark to see anything. Cleanliness was ok, maids came in everyday and changed towels, cleaned floors etc but they didn't change the sheets on the beds in the living room during the week. Our view wasn't great, we were on the side of the hotel and looked out onto the back of a restaurant. I think the rooms on the back of the hotel would get a nice view of the sea.

Apartments
Quite a mix of people at the apartments, families with young kids, older kids and groups of friends. The pool and sunbeds were full most days but not over crowded and it gets the sun most of the day. We spent a few days at the pool instead of going to the beach and really enojed it. We never found it noisy at night and didn't see any trouble.

Staff
The staff were fine, we only really spoke to the manager of the apartments and didn't see many other people running the hotel other than him, the maids and usually one person on the bar. We had a huge advantage that my friend spoke Spanish which made getting taxis and speaking to the manager sooooo much easier. I don't know what he'd be like with people who don't speak spanish but he seemed ok.

Location
The location isn't great for getting to San Antonio because you're on the opposite side of the bay but you can get a taxi quite easily which takes about 10 -15 minutes and I think it usually cost about 10 euros. You can also walk about 5-10 minutes and then get on the ferry which leaves about every half an hour and is nice to cool down and enjoy the view, I think that cost 2.50 euros. We stayed at the Monterrey apartments a few years ago and I would go back there rather than here just because of the location. We were much further round the bay this time and too far from the San Antonio to walk. Also the beaches nearest to the apartments aren't great, we saw alot of rubbish on the beaches and they weren't very sandy. We usually walked about 20 minutes towards San Antonio to the beach nearest Monterrey Apts which was much nicer.

Where to go
Kumharas is a really nice chilled out sunset bar on the beach about 2 minutes from the apts, they have a restaurant, and lots of stalls selling jewelry, bags etc but everything is very expensive if you're on a budget like ours. We just had 1 drink and watched the sunset then went on the beach with shop bought drink and listened to the bands which were really good. Cafe del Mar is really good for watching the sunset but again very expensive. You also have to get there really early for a good seat, we got there just in time as we got a great table and 10 minutes later it was packed. All the restaurants around the apts sell the same food, burgers, pizzas, omlettes etc but one place we found that was excellent and not too expensive was Relish. Shame we didn't find it sooner or we probably would have gone everyday.

All in all a fantastic holiday, wish I was back there now!! Worst thing probably the kitchen but if you can afford to eat out most of the time then not a problem!

So where do i start, this place was just perfect, we had an apparent that overlooked the sea, absolutely stunning views.. 2nd floor room 14

The place was spotless and the maids called everyday to check if we needed anything, clean towels bed linen, etc.

Its in a really good area for families, loads to do and see, I was there with my partner and it was just the most perfect and romantic break ever, there is a stunning funky beach front bar/restaurant just around the corner called Kahkumas (i think, spelling might be wrong) but defo worth a check out. we hired a car and toured the whole island, its so beautiful, a visit to a near beach 10 mins away called calla conte!! Next to calla bassa beach, this is a must, perfect clear waters, you can even see the fish….check out a bar on the edge of a cliff there called sunset ashram, so AMAZING watching the sunset go down here. plus the apartments are fully equipped with two rings, toaster, microwave and kettle.. exactly what is needed... so I would really recommend this place 100% i will defo be going back ...

defo should be rated more than a 2 star appartment, but it cant as it doesnt have a lift...

stayed here for one week the rooms were dull and old fashioned,bathroom very dark , the kitchen was concealed in a unit and you had to keep the door open if you were using the sink or cooker with your hand. there was some homeless person living under the balcony in some bushes.there was a lot of rain during our stay and the door and window let in water.

I read all the reviews and was a bit sceptical, because nowhere ever is as good as it sounds is it? Well in this case I was proved wrong, because this place is as good as it sounds - to say it is only 2 keys - if not better. The staff are so friendly and helpful (unusual for Spain in my experience). The apartments are spotless and well equipped if not exactly modern. Great air conditioning (free), flat screen TV, microwave etc., plenty of towels and bed linen. The pool area is particularly well kept and nice too. All the shops, bars, restaurants, bus stop etc. you need are nearby.

Downsides? Well the nearest beach is not particularly good, there is a better one about 10-15 minutes walk away. Also it's a long way out of San Antonio town itself (an hour's fast walk) although you can get a bus or ferry. The area can be a bit noisy at night but it's not that bad (it's actually quite quiet for San Antonio!)

All in all highly recommended if you want good, economical accommodation in the San Antonio area.
