We stayed in a one bedroom apartment on a self catering basis, which was absolutely perfect for us. For the price we paid, we could not have asked for a more perfect place! The apartment had a good sized bedroom, large living and dining area, spacious balcony and a fully equipped kitchen which was perfect for the few meals we ate at the apartment.
The transfer from the airport was around an hour long, it took us slightly longer due to having to wait for other passengers who had actually decided to get a private taxi and hadn’t informed the reps so the whole coach waited for them, but all being well this journey wasn’t bad at all!
When we arrived, check in was smooth and simple. We arrived around 10:30 and asked the receptionist where we could grab some food and they gave us a map and full explanation, so so helpful and lovely.
There are four lifts for the whole hotel but they were never too busy (may be different during peak times).
The hotel was clean, and fairly quiet. No disturbances during the night at all. The cleaning staff are brilliant, towels and sheets changed every day.
The one bed apartments have a bedroom with two twin beds pushed together, and the large living room has a sofa bed which turns into a large double. So great for families, you would still only need a one bed apartment!

In terms of location, it was a 3-5 minute walk from EVERYTHING- the beach, restaurants, bars, shops, bus stops, supermarkets. The location is just absolutely spot on perfect, we couldn’t have asked for better. I did read some reviews before going that said the paths near the hotel are dangerous, don’t be put off by these, they are not dangerous at all. The only time it would be tricky is if you have limited mobility and wanted Access the beach as it is down a good set of steep stairs. I do believe further down the strip there is a ramp to access the beach in a wheelchair however this is still steep. Everything else is perfect and just a stones throw away!

We did not eat at the hotel restaurant/cafe so cannot comment on the food but if you did want to and were self catering it was very cheap to eat there.

The nearby restaurants and bars were fantastic. The all you can eat Asian restaurant next to the spar shop is unbelievable, the best sushi I’ve ever eaten, so much choice of Chinese food, Indian, Thai, tepin Yaki, etc. absolutely stunning food, we ate there three times!!! La Capricosa have the most beautiful pizza and pasta and are so reasonably priced and moonlight bar which overlooks the beach was so welcoming and friendly and well priced for drinks in the evening. There is so so so much choice you will not go without! We didn’t explore much further than a ten minute walk from the hotel because there was just so much within that area!

There is a lidl or aldi which is easy to get to by bus or a 25 minute walk from the hotel, however we did not go there, we used the spar shop by the beach which had most things you could want or need! Probably slightly more expensive than the lidl but we only ate a few meals at the apartment so didn’t want to make a special trip. Toiletries like SUNCREAM, shampoos etc are really really well priced so unless you use something specific, I wouldn’t bother bringing any in your suitcase as it is just so easy to get whilst you’re there!

The beaches are absolutely stunning, once you get down there! Lots of lovely little beach cafes for drinks and food throughout the day. You also have the choice to pay for loungers on the beach which were 15 euros for the whole day for two. You can also just set up by yourself on the sand for free, some of the shops sell parasols and deck chairs etc which may be worth buying at the beginning of your holiday! There were some “sellers” who would come round offering towels, hats, jewellery etc, but were not persistent and left once you said no thankyou (and actually the towels were really lovely for 10 euros if you forget your beach towel or cover up!)

Weather wise we stayed from 8th October to the 15th October, it was very slightly overcast for the first two days, but still a comfortable temperature. It then stormed for a couple of hours in the afternoon of the second day, and the remainder of the week was absolutely glorious with temperatures between 22 and 27.

We are returning next year to the same hotel in the same place around the same time, because we just couldn’t fault it! It’s not anything fancy, the apartments are slightly dated but that didn’t bother us in the slightest! It was clean, safe and had everything we possibly needed. So if you are looking for a cheap and cheerful holiday with everything you need in arms reach, I’d highly recommend this place. Just stunning!

The staff were very rude and unwelcoming. They wouldn’t let us have a late checkout because they said they were too busy but I checked on booking.com and there was plenty of rooms.food wasn’t great. Only nice staff there was was the man who worked at the bar beside the pool.

We were using the pool area,
We went to the pool bar for lunch (we were not all inc)
Ordered 2 cheese toasted the miserable girl behind the counter no bread.
Really!
I’m sure there would be bread in the resturant area for all inc guests.
