One of the best places we stayed was cleaned, well equipped for room only with all cookware, even had a safe and ironing board, and there was not a long walk to bars and the beach. The pool was clean and the pool bar staff were so friendly. The pool table was always available and the food and drink was excellent I would go back here again, the beds were comfy and there was enough space in the rooms with a lovely airy terrace, we got the first a pool view without asking and a front terrace overlooking the road with amazing views into the hills and the sea. Couldn't fault it here at all.

The size of the apartment and the terrace on the upper floor rooms were excellent.
Everything necessary was in the apartment itself and for April, it was perfect.
However there's no A/C in the apartment - only a ceiling fan in the bedroom and living room, which for someone who suffers with inner ear pain and sinus passages caused by cooler air draughts isn't a great solution.
It meant as the weather got a little warmer after the first few days from when we arrived, it was a case of opening the bedroom window to let some air into the bedroom overnight.
I sleep with a window open all year round at home in the UK as I need fresh air.
So, unless the apartments were fitted with fully operational A/C units to cool the apartment down between May to late October, it's not a place I would consider to stay, which is such a shame...
A/C is too drying so I still need fresh air being able to reach the bedroom overnight as long as the room is allowed to cool down before going to bed.
Some apartments appeared to have A/C units fitted but I'm unsure if these are privately owned apartments. Definitely worth looking at.
That said, the beds were extremely comfortable and we both liked the bolster type pillows that some have complained about.
The hill was short and not too steep, just a few minutes walk to the seafront promenade with eateries, bars and restaurants to the left or right upon reaching the seafront.
Bus stops at the bottom of the road towards Tias old town and onwards on a circular route to either Arrecife or Costa Teguise.
Disembarking from the bus returning from Tias or Playa Blanca, the bus stop is on the higher level main road/highway which means a 10 minute walk downhill and past the Cinco Plaza apartment complex, on the left hand side of the street as you walk towards the Parque Tropical Apts and the Spinnaker Bar (above Hiperdino Supermarket).
Altogether, an enjoyable 10 night stay.

Absolutely spot on, most rooms are being refurbished and they look great, lovely and clean.
The pool attendant tries his best to control the sunbed hoggers who chuck a towel on and go out for the day bless him.
The pool area has a carpet like surface which makes it a lot safer and slip free.
Main pool could with a shallow end.
The apartments are situated on a hill like a lot of other apartment / hotels in the area so if you have mobility issues Puerto Del Carmen may not be the place for you.
We will definitely be back to this accommodation.

Stayed in Apartment 16B and it is in a quieter spot . It had a tiny garden but the view was just an old wooden fence, so we didn't bother sitting out there.
The apartment was a really good size, very clean and tidy. We had to tune the TV to English channels but all we could get was the news, too depressing for a holiday.
The bedroom has two large single beds pushed together and I found them really comfortable. The bathroom was a wet room with a lovely powerful shower. The little kitchen was greatly stocked with all the equipment you would need, we didn't, as I ont cook when away.
The complex had lovely swimming pools, smallish, but just right. There is also a bar by the pools and the complex has it's own restaurant called Nico's, expensive but the food was ok.
The only downside to this place is the very rude male receptionist. There was never a hello, have a good day etc and when we checked out he just shoved his hand at me and said "Key". Again there was no thank you for staying, come back soon, nada, zilch, nothing not even a smile. He really needs to go to People Pleasing Classs. Our cleaner on the other hand was lovely, always smiling.
Overall this little complex is lovely, even though it is uphill from the beach. I would definitely stay here again.

We have just stayed for 2wks, and could not find a fault, location was great. Pool area was brilliant, they have a felt flooring, so people don't slip, and the sunbeds have mattresses on top, to make them comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
