“I said "wow" when I opened the door”

We had received a text from our tour operator saying that reception was open between 10am-2pm and then again from 4pm-6pm and how to receive our keys but to our surprise there was a lovely lady there waiting for us who got us checked in.

We had received a text from our tour operator saying that reception was open between 10am-2pm and then again from 4pm-6pm and how to receive our keys but to our surprise there was a lovely lady there waiting for us who got us checked in. We were in 1E, you open a locked gate to enter your "block" and then to your apartment, opening the gate you get a beautiful sneak peek of the beach, but then opening the door to our apartment I just said "wow" absolutely not what I was expecting. The balcony was the stand out draw to this complex for us, it's huge with 2 sunbeds and a patio table and chairs and amazing views of the sea. It's very private with only the last foot or so being overlooked by the balcony above, it's an absolute sun trap however the roof helps keep the window and patio doors in some shade. The rooms do get hot, we got a fan from reception so between that and the sea breeze it was just about tolerable in the evening. The apartment itself is decently appointed (we’ve never travelled SC before so don’t have anything to compare it to), little 2 ring hob, microwave, kettle and even a coffee maker. Bathroom is a shower, no bath, bit awkward to get in the shower you had to climb round the toilet to get in. Bedroom had ample amounts of storage, 2 double size wardrobes, one with a handful of coat hangers and the other with shelves. 2 single beds, but could be pushed together (wish we’d have took a fitted sheet to prevent the gap) The sofa bed was already made up for our son and was quite comfy. Any "negatives" that I mention are purely niggles, but to some can be a deal breaker so worth mentioning. Steps, there are a lot of them, if you're coming up from the prom/beach then you've got a lot of stairs and then stairs down to your apartment. It certainly kept me from putting on the holiday weight, but it could be difficult if you have mobility problems. There is some noise from a nearby nightclub, you can't hear the music but just the constant boom from the bass, they're open till 3am. There are some restaurants and bars in the local area but depending on what you’re after then you may find that you’re having to have a walk into Los Cristianos itself (6-7mins stroll) for more variety, certainly for breakfast. There is a Spar and a pharmacy across the road, and a large Mercadona up the road (about 4 Euro in a taxi). There is a taxi stop right outside, taxis are quite reasonable starting price is 3.15, we got on to near Veronicas and it was 7.50e, or 4.50e to The Patch.

“Great view but needs a refurb”

Reception is only open a few hours so if you are arriving early or late make sure your travel provider has given you the code to open the lock box next to reception.

Reception is only open a few hours so if you are arriving early or late make sure your travel provider has given you the code to open the lock box next to reception. We weren't aware of this and so the bar owner next door had to help out. Turns out TUI had sent a message on their app but we didn't really use the app so not sure how we would have known otherwise. We had a room on the bottom floor right next to the beach. It was 50 steps down to get to it. No lifts so anyone with mobility issues beware. Great view though. The rooms are a good size but very dated. The furniture is worn, scratched and needs replacing. The cushions on the sun loungers were filthy and we didn't go near them. The floor on the patio needs replacing as the grouting is breaking up and can scratch your feet. The room does have a little kitchen area with a fridge which was useful. It is a bit noisy at night at the weekend as some of the local bars and clubs turn it up and being right next to the promenade means people walking past all the time. With no air con you need the windows open so light sleepers may struggle. TBH this was the cheapest place available by TUI so wasn't expecting greatness. It does need a refurb to bring it up to scratch but not all bad. The lady on reception was excellent and let us keep our room late on check out today without extra cost. The 50 steps back up carrying suitcase though aren't much fun!
