Studio could do with a deep clean.
On day four I went to the desk at midday to ask if we could have a visit from housekeeping as the room hadn’t been serviced since our arrival and bins where overflowing and we had run out of toilet paper. I was assured that the room would be serviced. On arriving back at 5.30pm room had still not been serviced and I returned to reception. House keeping where telephone and advised room HAD been serviced, advised reception it definitely had not. Room was only serviced twice in 10 days. Very poor cleanliness evidenced by cockroaches. Studio could do with a deep clean.

We stayed self catering so feel like as we weren’t all inclusive we were put at top of property. Because we didn’t spend any money in hotel. We have been going to the old town area for years now, this is the 1st time we have stayed at this hotel. The island and its people are very good.

I was pleasantly surprised by my apartment. Some reviews gave the impression that the place was falling apart, filthy and infested with cockroaches. THIS PLACE IS FINE!!! My apartment was clean and comfortable. Although parts are a bit dated, the apartment had a new ceramic hob, efficient oven (a rarity in holiday apartments), microwave, kettle and toaster. The apartment was cleaned regularly and the grounds were well maintained as well. It's not luxury - but you can't realistically expect luxury at this price. It was great value for money and I'd definitely stay again.

Perfect location for old town and harbour
Perfect location for Old Town. Plenty of facilities, lovely pool area with enough sunbeds for all. Pool table and table tenis table for kids. Place a bit tired but if this was a new complex the price would be 50% more. Our room was in lovely location overlooking pool. Lets itself down with having to pay for safe internet and TV as extras.

Great location and price but there are cockroaches
On arrival the receptionist was so friendly and helpful. We were directed to apartment 321. The few wee stairs up to it didn't bother us as we were all mobile. Everything quite basic but that is all we needed as we only needed it to sleep in. On the first night, there was an infestation of cockroaches in the bathroom (6 of them!). We dealt with the issue and just kept a close eye out. On the 2nd day, we got a cleaner and asked them to clean and spray the place. I don't know if they did as there was no spray left in the apartment for us. That night we spotted more cockroaches, so we knew we couldn't go all week like this, therefore we went to reception and told them. They said we could change apartments or they could give us spray. They said it was just nature and if we sprayed them, they would crawl out and would die. We accepted the spray and went back up. We sat until the early hours looking around as we were scared. When we spotted one sitting at the top of the curtains, we packed all our bags and said we wanted a new apartment. We were given room 318 straight away. This apartment seemed a lot cleaner and better straight away. We didn't see any cockroaches until the night before we were due to leave. We just sprayed it and hoped it would die. On the morning we were leaving, we got breakfast on the premises. I wouldn't really thank you for it. Breads and watermelon were the only 2 nice pieces of food. The fry wasn't too good at all. They did have a good display of food.

Good location and amazing ocean view! Close to the port and walking distance to NICER places around - playa grande etc! The apt itself is TIRED and needs URGENT attention. It reminds me of my childhood 80’s outdated furniture and facilities. The grounding between all tiles is juuuust there- needs redoing. The place is facing the ocean so it’s windy- the problem is the large sliding windows are missing seals and LOCKS so every blow of the wind is noticeable. Very god breakfast and extremely helpful and knowledgable staff

I had a terrible stay at this apartment due to the negligence of the staff towards the apartment itself. The health and safety there is appalling because of many reasons first off sockets are literally hanging off the walls about to electrocute someone. Also, the bath water was yellow as it was rusty water due to the rusted boiler not being changed after how many donkeys years and when I asked them to change the boiler they didn’t even apologise. Furthermore, they don’t check the chlorine chemical rate in the pool which caused me to have an allergic reaction which I then had to pay 250 euros for two injections I had to have due to the severe chlorine allergic reaction. My stay here was outrageous and I am trying to get a refund now for the inconvenience and pain caused to me and my family.

Very disappointed
Where do I start. The overall look of the apartments is fantastic but our room was very badly maintained. The patio doors didn't fit. The paintwork was awful. The room we were in was desperately in need of an overhaul. The ceiling lights were full of dust. The floors were grubby especially in the corners and behind the doors. I didn't dare look under the beds. The doorstop in the bathroom had long ago lost its rubber so there was just a screw sticking up out of the floor which we had to be very careful not to stub our toe on. We didn't have a child but I would have been very worried if I had. The safe was unusable so we had to carry passports, money and tickets wherever we went. There was a heater/cool air vent with a thermostat on the wall which was totally unusable because there wasnt a control button. The catches on the windows in our bedroom we're broken so they had fitted bolts instead of a proper repair. We asked to change rooms and were told to come back the next morning and when we did we were told we would have to wait another hour or so to see if it was even possible!!! We decided that the next room might not be any better so we stayed where we were. The staff were friendly enough at reception though the pool guy was a little bossy as to where the beds were situated. I don't have dust like that in my house. All my windows and doors fit and my floors are clean. Why would I pay to stay somewhere that is substandard?

Only for the view and don't plan on staying inside
The great thing about the hotel are the views.Great view of the Ocean,Old town harbor and sunsets over Playa Blanca and Fuerteventura in the distance. Yes, there are stairs but people exaggerate. We did not have problems and we were on the top floor. However the hotel is in urgent need of refurbishment: - doors are of wood and from the 70's. Slam in the night if there is wind - locks from balcony door missing, however they recommend locking it. With what? - furniture hasn't been changed in 3 decades. Couch with holes,chairs broken and wobbly. - cleaning is superficial even before check in. Balcony table was filthy when we arrived and cleaned it ourselves. - cockroaches - stairs inside the complex are washed once a month at most. Traces of spilled beer, juice, etc. - pool(not heated) is large but with tiles missing is a health hazard - everything costs money. From remote to TV to internet

Nice apparent
First impression was good staff friendly apartment clean it’s what I expected for a budget holiday, it’s not for the unfit as lots of hill walking and stair climbing. But that’s why you should investigate before booking. Prices at bar were over priced on some items as was a lot of local restaurants beware of overpricing at markets as well. I was unfortunate with the weather at th start but that’s no ones fault only when it’s raining there’s not much to do. Best beach is a 20 minute walk away but need to have nowledge of location. Good walks to be had and water sports.

Cheap, and a bit tired but friendly willing staff
Having read the reviews I was nervous as it was such a mixed bag. we checked in easily, there were lots of steps, one set was a dead end which wasn't useful (if it doesn't say your number don't use them stairs!) when we opened the door the room smelt of old people, I was disappointed that despite the listing saying 4 twin beds it was one bedroom and a very hard sofa, the bathroom was olde marble style where the marble looks like it has gone rusty, the grout was messy and the whole look was unappealing. I went to reception and politely asked if they could find us another room as there was no way I wanted to my kids in that bath. They asked to be given an hour. After an hour the lovely man on reception Javier had located another room, this was a big improvement, the bath had obviously been updated (at sometime) with tiles not marble and it didn't smell but was basically the same. It also had a brand new safe in it rather than key operated. the sink still had the marble and was still that horrible orangy rusty colour and it often had many small creatures running about on it, I don't think they were fleas but it's not what we are used to, The room was basic self catering, the microwave was bolted to the wall but the lead didn't reach the socket, but a call to reception got us a man within an hour who came and extended the lead, problem fixed. It was quite sufficient for what we paid, the location was very close to old town and harbour, the views were lovely.

Excellent location. We have stayed in these apartments for several years. Fabulous views. This January we noticed the apartment was in need of repairs. The bath needs replaced as the enamel has been painted over and is flaking off making the tub lumpy. Some tIles in bathroom missing. Higher floors not suitable for less mobile as there is no lift. We stayed room only as there are many excellent restaurant and bars nearby

Spent one night in self-catering apartment. Staff were nice, friendly and helpful. Nice hotel, with lovely views, but more like a huge complex for flats. As much as I love to walk, I really did not enjoy walking to the fifth floor carrying my suitcase, spending ages looking for apartment.I also found it frustrating trying to find the correct staircase to take me in the right direction on more than a few occasions, and was thankful some of the guest were kind enough to help me. (though that could be due to having no sense of direction - and sure if was there longer, all would have been fine by the third day). My apartment was nice, clean, cosy, and two single beds pushed together was comfortable. Apart from the shower, which started getting cooler and cooler after a few minutes, I didn't use any of the other facilities. As I said, nice hotel, but glad I was there for only one night, as way too busy for me!

Low cost accommodation, clean but interiors med up
Located about old harbour an ideal quiet location. Restaurants bars and shops close by. Short 10 min walk to the 'main strip'. Nice 3-4 walk along to Puerto Calero (regular "Water Bus" to/from harbour for return trip). Appartments are clean, but funiture, fittings, decor in need of an update. Appartments on 3 x levels consisting of lower and upper appts. Upper appts (levels 2, 4 &6) have balconies about the lower appt's patio). Lots of stairs to higher levels! Suggest appts on level 4 (410-420) for balcony with view.

10 days at Bellevue
Have stayed here as self catering at least three times in last couple of years. Facility fits our needs but there is a huge number of steps to some of the apartments most recent stay 93 steps. The apartments are dated but in general have always been clean and comfy, but this time thought the standards had dropped slightly a bit more dust and a couple of cobwebs around. Utensils are limited but does have a kettle, toaster, fridge with small freezer, microwave, dual ring and a oven, though used only the fridge, kettle and toaster. The facility has a lovely pool outside bar and do an "all inclusive package" too. We tend to eat out in the local are as there are some excellent restaurants just outside the facility and others just a few minutes walk away though coming home will entail an uphill walk. The price we pay for our stay we do not expect top end accommodation, the beds are reasonably comfy and the maid service is 5 days out of 7, with towels changed regularly during our 10 day stay.

Great location and a pleasant suprise
With the mixed reviews I had read I was expecting the whole of the hotel complex to be a little tired looking but still good value. However the pool area , gardens and the majority of the apartment were very good. The planted areas around the apartments ( gardens ) were very well maintained and the areas kept very clean. Our apartment was fine , very clean and in truth the only area that was tired looking was the bathroom but again it was clean and the water hot so no real complaints from us. Bed was a bit hard mind.
