El Guarapo Apartamentos

“Lovely stay”

Lovely stay Staff so helpful. Do not miss the breakfast best we’ve ever had on holiday. Location ideal few minutes walk to beach and few minutes to supermarket shops and restaurants. Apartments so clean and comfortable felt at home from the moment we arrived

“Quiet and relaxing”

We stayed a week and enjoyed the stay. Yes, it was very quiet and peaceful but that's what we wanted. We upgraded to a two room apartment on the top floor. The apartment was clean and fairly modern with a nice balcony overlooking the pool and another smaller one in the main bedroom. I did smile a bit at the promise of a sea view. I could see the sea from the bedroom window, but a telescope would have been useful :) The kitchen area was reasonably well equipped Microwave/grill and hot plates with a toaster and kettle too. Nice big fridge freezer. We didnt come on holiday to cook though, so we didnt use much, other than the fridge freezer. Yes, we got a few ants in the room - that happens everywhere and I always buy a cheap tin of insect spray - problem solved after that. There was a regular maid service although towards the end of the stay we had to ask for our bed linen to be changed because although the towels were changed the sheets hadn't been until we asked. Recepton is only open during the day but there are two other gates you can use to get in/out when reception is closed - that isnt a problem at all. I get the sense from some reviews that some people expect hotel level service from these apartments. my experience is that the service was generally very good and all the staff were very nice and friendly. The bar/restaurant is open for breakfast and again from lunch, but closes at 3:30 in the afternoon. There isnt a huge choice on the menu, but fine for a quick snack. The pool area wasnt busy when we were there so maybe it isnt sustainable to open for longer, but it would have been good if the bar had remained open into the evening too. The apartments are located in a quiet area and the nearest supermarkets are a bit of a walk away in the busier area of town. Not a difficult walk though. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider staying here again.

El Guarapo apartments reception were very informative, even before we got there they were sending me messages and I asked for restaurant recommendations and they were very helpful. You can check in before you get there and we were given a complimentary drinks voucher, it was just for beer or soft drink. The snack bar was very small, it had one beer pump which was Heineken and my husband had a pint and it was a bit flat so we didn’t bother again, although I got a cocktail a tequila sunrise 6.50 euros which was very nice. They sell large bottles of water but double the price of the shops 4 euros. There’s a Spar which was 5 minutes walk, we got drinks and rolls there for lunch and ate out for dinner in the many restaurants nearby. El Guarapo is a great location, quiet but not far from the lively busy parts. We enjoy a great curry at Namaste on the seafront and Peskera is a seafood restaurant further up the beachfront, which was also great and recommended by El Guarapo, we would definitely eat a both restaurants again. We also ate in Rock Cafe restaurant which was nice, we mainly had drinks in there though, as they had great live music. Beach/pool towels are 10 euros each deposit which you get back at the end of your stay, but they are a bit faded, tatty, probably in need of new ones. The pool was adequate size, but could do with a lick of paint, it was very quiet and chilled, there’s no Sunbed wars here, which was what I liked best, no worries whatsoever about getting a sun lounger any time of the day. They could do with more umbrellas round the pool though for shade. The apartment is fully equipped with everything you need, hob, microwave with an oven and there’s a filter coffee machine with filters if you want to buy filter coffee for it. We found a nice little French patisserie bakery just near the apartments called Damien, 23 Av. Del Mar and we would go for a walk and get a lovely coffee and a pastry in the morning. The apartments are a 10 minute walk from the main shops and bars etc, out the front door turn left and then there’s a little walkway round the back of the apartments which is a shortcut to the main area, you can take a longer scenic walk if you turn left out of the apartments and go down the road to the seafront and turn left and you can walk all the way on the promenade along the seafront but that takes about 25 minutes. We asked reception to book a taxi to the airport for 05:00 hrs the day before, the taxi didn’t turn up and luckily I had the foresight to ask the receptionist for hr number just in case as no one is there at that time in the morning. All in all we had a fantastic holiday and will be booking for next year in Costa Teguise, I would come back to El Guarapo apartments again and definitely recommend them, but I would like to try a hotel next time with a bit more going on. If you like peace and quiet then El Guarapo is for you.

I booked into these lovely apartments for the last 2 nights of my 10 day holiday in Costa Teguise. I had spent the first 8 days in an awful hotel and couldn't bare to stay there any longer. I so wish I'd spent my whole holiday at these apartments. Spotlessly clean. My apartment was poolside. It was big with a lovely bathroom and comfy bed. The staff were polite and helpful and kept in contact by whattsapp. I had a free welcome drink of my choice on arrival. The breakfast choice was great and all freshly prepared. Pool area and sunbeds were nice although I didn't go in the pool as the weather wasn't great. Apartments are a short stroll away from the 'square' . Easy access to the local buses. The only downside was the pool bar closed in the afternoon and re-opened in the morning. As a solo traveller I would have liked to have chilled out in the evening with a drink. Not sure if this was because it wasn't high season or whether it shuts in the afternoon in the summer months too. Wouldn't put me off going back though.
