Two star establishment,but it was OK for me. I slept ok and had my coffee in the morning then lazed by the swimming pool. Staff were very helpful. You could hire a kettle, toaster, or hairdryer for €5:00 each. A fan would be €15.00 for a week and a €5.00 deposit for the safe. It is located in the centre .Lots of restaurants and bars. A market on Saturday. It cost €2.00 on the No 3 bus to Costa Caleta and a fifteen minute walk from the bus stop to the apartments.

Friendly staff and in a great location, short stroll to sandy beach and harbour. Very clean and tidy, maid service every other day. Great pool area, full sun from rise, pretty much till set. pool bar serving drinks and snacks at good prices! Ignore any remarks of insects, unless you are petrified of a couple of microscopic ants making their journey across your worktop!! Rooms are spacious, if not a little tired, but, being a year round destination, trying to do major work would mean YOU couldn't stay here, as they would have to shut! For the price and location I'm very happy.

Good location, close to the beach and all the shops and restaurants, nice apartments (some with courtyard/pool view, some basically on the street). In the apartment you'll have all the basic equipment to live here for a while. And I mean BASIC, low-key, these are not luxury apartments. If you need a kettle, you can rent one from the reception. Cleaners come every other day to clean (floors, sinks, shower, toilet, change towels and linen if needed) however they don't de-dust the timber ledges above the tiles all around the rooms or other dust collectors. The latter is the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 (enquired in the reception about it when I arrived too, was told "sorry" and that they'll send the cleaner, who came the day after, but still didn't clean the dusty areas). So, had to wipe around by myself (slight dust allergy). Would I stay here again? - Probably.
It's good enough value, and I quite like the pool area-from one side it's in the courtyard on the ground level, on the other side it's on the first floor (kind of on the roof), but sheltered by the apartments and a wall to give some shelter from the strong winds of the island, yet these don't hide the sun. There's also a pool bar and pool table. Beach is only a 5-7 min walk away. On one side of the apartments there's also a parking area. Apart from the tourist shops and restaurants, there are also 2 supermarkets nearby (2-5 min walk, depending on which one you use), there are gyms, massage/nail/hair salons, car/motorbike/quadbike/bicycle/scooter hire places, pharmacies and a doctor's clinic. The bus station for local buses (the tour-and airport shuttle buses bring you to the hotel of course), but the local bus stop to travel to other towns/places is about 10-15 min walk away. And being only stone's throw from everywere, it is still quiet and relaxed.

Basic but clean. Small TV with some English channels, no kettle. The pool should be cleaned more. The pool bar and area is a suntrap, happy hours are 12-1 and 3-4. Location is very good and all around not bad and I would go back.

ANTS EVERYWHERE. Checked out yesterday and can honestly say it was a miserable stay. Found ants all over the counters and woke up in the night with them crawling up my arm. Only stayed for 2 nights and so glad to check out. Very dodgy electrics with light fittings and sockets hanging off the walls. Extra charge for a kettle (in self catering) The location is the only good thing about the place. If you are considering staying here, then don't bother. Stay up the hill in the bungalows. They're 20 quid a night cheaper, spotlessly clean and the kitchen has everything you need.
