Where do I start ? There are some good and bad things to mention about this property. Firstly, we were greeted by a lovely lady who may have been the owner. She was welcoming and nice throughout our stay. The pool was very clean and we were there most days to chill. On our first night we didn’t get to shower as the water was cold and just wouldn’t heat up. They were quick to try and sort and stated water is slow but does work. The shower does not go onto a hook so you have to hold it finding it very challenging to wash and hold the shower head at the same time. I never felt clean and water was always coming onto the bathroom floor making it a daily struggle with things. The hot water worked when it wanted to and some days when it got to my partner using it it would be cold. Very disappointed by the hot water. In our room above bed there was a plug socket and if you touched it or the wood board touched it it would make sparking noises. I had to sleep on sofa downstairs otherwise I was worried I’d get an electric shock. The sparking sound would keep me/partner awake. Also, bed board was screwed to the wall and had fallen off making me unable to stay in that bed without it making a banging noise. Beware, dogs wake you up at 6-7am most days barking so loudly and I’m not sure if it was just where we were positioned. We paid a great price and we got what we paid for. Rooms are in need of a makeover as some things were falling apart. I did not want to give a 1 as the lady very nice

Set in the quieter district of Sonnenland these simple apartments provide everything you need for a quiet break in the sun. The walk to the beach is not as far as Google Maps suggests as there are a number of obvious shortcuts once you start the journey. A taxi ride to / from Playa Del Ingles is a reasonable €5. The local Spar is 5 mins walk and has the essentials, but there is more choice at the Hiperdino at El Tabelro which is about 15 mins walk. There was a problem with the microwave in my apartment which was resolved within an hour of my reporting it and everything else was exactly as I expected. As others have said if you expect the Ritz you will be disappointed, however if you are looking for a good value, quiet, well kept apartment complex with friendly helpful staff then look no further. I would definitely return.

Very peaceful and excellent value. Good transport links which I needed to get anywhere. It’s a bit in the middle of nowhere! Great for the Sun though. Two balconies so there’s always some sunshine. The reception was unmanned though so was difficult to get advice about anything.

Enjoy.
It is a good budget apartment complex about a 45 min walk or 5 euro taxi ride between either of the 2 main beaches. It is on a hill with a Spar a 5 min walk away. There is a decent sized pool and most apartments appear to be south facing .Mine had 2 sunbeds and got the sun from morning till dusk. There is a flat screen tv but I had no kettle/toaster/microwave. I didn't ask for them but if it is important I suggest you check. Once you have the keys you just let yourself in/out. Enjoy.

Good value/price rate
We stayed there as a couple for 6 nights, mainly left after breakfast and got back at the end of the day to eat, have shower and sleep. The apartment's size is more than enough for 2 people, you have got all the basic equipments that you need, beds were so! comfortable (we had 2 single beds but could put them together without any issues), the terrace is awsome - you can have the typicall holiday feeling when sitting out for a morning coffe and watching the sunrise through the palm trees. You can use a not too big pool, sunbeds, cheap "big" store and 2 restaurants are close. The weakest point was the public transport and distance from the city center/beach - depending on you destination you have to walk 1,5-3 km to get to a bus stop, or around 40-50 mins (or more) to the beach/city center. Staff were friendly and helpful (however 2 out of the 3 people did not speak so much english), they let us leave our bags with them till the night on our check out day. In overall for this price it was an awsome apartment, the distance can be a compromise since you need to walk through beautifull places if you want to get somewhere (just plan it in advance). We would recommend it and would go back again :)

A week in Sonnenland
A good place to stay for a quiet holiday as it’s quite far from all the nightlife. Our apartment was nice but tired and in need of a refurbishment. We were there for a week and the cleaner came the day after we arrived and we thought that was it, however she came again the day prior to our departure which we found strange as we thought she had forgotten. The staff and other residents and restaurant next door were all friendly and made us very welcome.

Great. Recently refurbished?
I slightly hesitated booking when I saw some of the average reviews. I can only review my apartment, but guessing recently refurbished and to a very high standard since it was first class, could not fault it apart from no microwave oven and some but acceptable noise from neighbours. Clean, well equipped and a good layout over two floors and good sized rooms. Two balconies, top one with a excellent view out to the coast. Lower balcony partial view of the pool area. Didn’t use it but the pool and pool area looked great, certainly not like previous reviews. Based on my apartment I would recommend without hesitation and would definitely stay again.

Nice enough budget hotel!
Nice budget apartments, nice pool, great views to melonaris and sea in the distance but only from A few of the apartments including mine fortunately! My only complaint was distance from yumbo center and the action! Hourly bus service until 7.30pm tho or taxis! I chose hire car but usually had a 5 minute uphill walk back to hotel from nearest parking space! A few parking spots outside hotel at a minor extra charge tho but none available when I asked! Overall, fine, I'd stay again for the right price but parking and distance from yumbo was only downside!
