“Unloved, basic apartment felt like uni digs”

The best

Communication with host on booking was very good. Directions to property clear and keys were in wall mounted combination key safe by front door. Location is quiet except for neighbours 2 dogs who would bark when left & every time we went outside. Didn’t bother us but if you don’t like dogs avoid. Swimming pool is lovely with outdoor warm shower. Comfortable loungers with 2 per apartment. Sunshades all damaged badly so had to drag beds onto grass to get some shade. Loved dipping in the sea however it was windy & this bay is not as sheltered as many so not for weak swimmers, also ladder down is quite steep & have to walk over rocks to get to. Beautiful sunset spot outside. Every evening rocks opposite filled with young taking sunset selfies. The balcony doesn’t have much of view (tree/road) as on back. It gets a bit of sun in morning. Hola Ola bar opposite very popular we didn’t visit but looked good cocktail spot. Next to that is Restaurant Marea Beach House restaurant which was our favourite restaurant in Cala Blanca by far. Book online as can get busy. 10 minute walk, maybe less to Cova de Aigua, well worth visit for all ages - amazing cave & entertaining knowledgeable guide, 45 minute tour. Do specific English, Spanish, French etc tours. Book online

The apartment is unloved & more like uni digs. For a couple @ £180 euro/night we expected more. Only the double room was made up & no extra sheets/pillowcases left out. My husband got ill & would have been good to have the option. The shower was broken & they fixed this quickly the second day. The curtains are stained, bed cushions heavily engrained with dirt & there wasn’t even an undersheet on the bed. No tea towels (there was washing up liquid). The sink did not drain properly - needs u bend cleaning or plunging…There was no cleaning products left at all - would have loved to have given the floor a proper clean on arrival. The soap dispenser left on the basin had a leak & meant the sink was orange & sticky on arrival. The list goes on… broken hair dryer wires exposed. In all very disappointing & easy things to fix. Lots of good reviews on here so maybe end of season wear & tear & owner hasn’t visited in a while. Oh & there’s no kettle or any condiments/food left at all. Surely salt/pepper/oil wouldn’t be too much to ask No instructions either. First day we walked to pool down Road, turns out there’s right of way so can walk past front other apartments. Supermarket 5 minute walk away does most things but for fresh bread would recommend picking up elsewhere as little choice & not particularly fresh.

“Overall a pleasant and comfortable stay.”

The best

This apartment is well located and comfortable, with a very nice pool and lounging area available to guests. Some comfortable outdoor furniture is also available on the terrace of the apartment. Check in was easy and it was possible to park on the nearby streets most of the time during our stay in late May. The area is quiet although there are a range of different options for eating and drinking within easy walking distance.

Kitchen facilities and provisions were limited. No electric kettle for making tea.

“Brilliant location but electricity is an issue”

The best

Locations was great

To be improved

Electric went off A LOT. Even if you turned off everything else it would go off when cooking or running the washing machine. This led to it taking forever to cook or wash clothes. Contacted host but they said just to turn other things off. Complained again at end of stay and they said it hadn't been complained about before however, I know this is not the case.
