Booked as a last minute holiday to escape the dull weather & rain in the UK with EasyJet Holidays. Arrived long before the check in time but the hotel provide a large luggage room & then there are changing facilities in the spa if you choose to head straight to the pool. Pool towels can be rented for €20 & can be changed once a day. If you use the indoor pool hats must be worn & can be purchased for €5. The spa area does not require hats to be worn. There is a sauna, steam room & cool plunge pool. The gym seemed to have a good range of equipment & some free weights. We found the reception team to be friendly & welcoming & the communal areas & bathrooms in the main hotel were spotless. The hotel is located on a steep hill so if you are located in one of the other 3 apartment blocks you must be able to walk up a short but steep hill. There is a small shop which sells water, cold drinks, alcohol, snacks & general groceries but they only take CASH. Lidl & Aldi are a 10 min simple walk away. Lidl is bigger & has a better range of products. Each apartment block has its own pool area but your key card will let you in the gates to use any pool. Some are quieter than others. We were lucky to have a top floor apartment with a sea view. The one bedroom apartment was very clean & had everything we needed for a 5 night stay. The kitchen had a fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle, filtered coffee machine & oven / hob. There were enough pans & cooking equipment to make simple meals. The apartment has plenty of storage. The beds in the bedroom were firm but I found them to be very comfortable. The pillows were quite lumpy but I wasn’t bothered to look at changing them. The sofa in the lounge is a bed & has a full single pull out underneath. The mattress on this pull out was fine for a child but an adult would have felt the springs. The beds had thin duvets & there were plenty of blankets in the cupboard but we brought our own 4 tog single duvets for the children thanks to EasyJet’s generous luggage allowance! The bathroom was clean & functional however there is an automatic light so when in the shower you need to pop your arm out & wave to get the light to click back on. This wasn’t an issue. We had a small balcony which looked over the pool, roof tops & out xx to sea. The bedroom had sliding doors which opened up onto more of a Juliette style balcony. There’s a small TV which had loads of channels & a few in English. To reach the town there are almost 100 steps which is fine on the way down but tough going coming up! You will need good mobility to manage the steps. I believe the hotel offers a shuttle a few times a day & Ubers are cheap. Overall we found the hotel & apartments a great find & with the right price would happily return for a short break. The old town has lots of nice restaurants & we enjoyed walking to the Marina & along the coast. We used the land train one day to explore which was good value & a nice day out.

“Good central stay”

I was here for just one night on a stop-over. There are two properties opposite each other. Garden is the big hotel with a pool. Atlantico (where I stayed) is more like an apartment building.

I was here for just one night on a stop-over. There are two properties opposite each other. Garden is the big hotel with a pool. Atlantico (where I stayed) is more like an apartment building. Fairly basic studio overlooking the small garden. Beds, kitchen and bathroom spotless clean. Not much decoration or luxury but fine for the night. Had a late check-in (11pm) and restaurant and bar were closed. Breakfast was very good and not too crowded. Parking in the street was all occupied so I parked in the garage of Garden for 8 Euro. It was all pretty basic, but then again the price was reasonable for the location and season.

“Nice experience ”

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, clean accommodation. A 2 minute walk to old town square. Had indoor and outdoor pool. Only negative were the pillows they were not very comfortable, plenty of sun loungers and nice big balcony to sit in the sun and enjoy from your own room

“Complex needs updating”

Stayed 6th to 13th April 2024 with my husband, my 9 yo and 6 yo at Cerro Mar Colina (had booked Atlantico but realised that you could end up in any block). Overall the apartment (Rm301, 2 bed) was okay for the price we paid last minute however it was quite dated and the en-suite bedroom smelled d... more

Stayed 6th to 13th April 2024 with my husband, my 9 yo and 6 yo at Cerro Mar Colina (had booked Atlantico but realised that you could end up in any block). Overall the apartment (Rm301, 2 bed) was okay for the price we paid last minute however it was quite dated and the en-suite bedroom smelled damp. I noted damp behind the headboard of the bed in this room on the second last day. I also noted a few damp spots, mould and peeling paint within the apartment. Pillows also very uncomfortable. The children’s pool beside the rectangular pool also has a metal vent that needs replacing. My son cut his toe on it quite badly (almost degloved the skin) on our 3rd day. Reported to reception but no repairs made and no follow up to check on him despite them taking our room number. The apartments need to be updated to hit the four star rating and safety concerns to be addressed in pools.
