A very pleasant environment with excellent, helpful staff and comfortable apartments. Minor elements of tlc required in the rooms but certainly nothing to spoil our enjoyment. We would highly recommend these apartments to anyone wanting a comfortable, relaxed stay in the centre of the town. The rooms are apartment style with a good size lounge, comfortable large bedroom, good bathroom with nice hot showers and a small kitchen area with a full size fridge and small freezer to meet most needs. There aren't many utensils, cups, plates etc but we were only two people so plenty enough for us. The furniture was comfortable too and, on the odd occasion that we used it, the TV was fine. Good WiFi in the main room but poor signal outside - but if you are outside, why would you need WiFi? There was ample storage space in the bedroom and lounge. Breakfast was good and plentiful if a little crowded at times, mainly because the weather wasn't great for a couple of days. We are early starters and always found a table and plenty of hot food. We were on a half board package so took our dinners at the sister hotel, Plus Fariones Suites, just around the corner. This is a 4* hotel and the dinners matched that - I would recommend that option. On our first evening eating a delicious dinner whilst watching dolphins "porpoising" in the seas was delightful and seemingly not common - we were lucky! The hotel is well positioned in the centre of the town yet was very quiet in the evenings - a good point for us. A large Mercadona just around the corner together with a host of smaller supermarkets, restaurants etc close by all added to the convenience. I hired a car for a few days and parking close by is very tricky but not impossible. There are bus stops just around the corner for getting to other resorts so, again, the position is very convenient. All of the staff were excellent and it would be unfair on the rest to pick anyone out for special praise. We would definitely be more than happy to return here once more if staying in Puerto del Carmen.

“OK, but overpriced at Easter for what we got”

I had a mixed experience at Plus Fariones which was a bit disappointing after paying over £1k for a six-night stay -- I was perhaps expecting something a bit more special, especially with all the rave reviews I saw on Tripadvisor.

I had a mixed experience at Plus Fariones which was a bit disappointing after paying over £1k for a six-night stay -- I was perhaps expecting something a bit more special, especially with all the rave reviews I saw on Tripadvisor. I'll start with the positives: -Really nice roof terrace in the pool area -Generally a good breakfast, though a few more gluten and dairy free options would have been appreciated -Generally good staff, friendly and helpful, cleaners were good, breakfast staff friendly, etc. -Location - old town is accessible, beach close by, etc. Negatives: -Decor extremely tired, shabby/dated - we had a chipped toilet seat, marks on paintwork, etc. Not the end of the world but makes the holiday feel less special -WiFi not working in the rooms for two days of my stay -Sunbeds reserved from early in the morning - staff did try to tackle it but I think they need to be stricter on it -Travel cot we were given (as requested on booking) was not very nice, didn't feel very clean, we ended up just sleeping with the baby in our bed The general look of the hotel is really nice and the pool area looks great but it's the individual rooms that feel very 'two star' to me, not any higher. The standard of the rooms made me feel a bit ripped off and like I was staying in a disappointing AirBnB rather than a well-reviewed 3 star hotel.

Gorgeous hotel, fantastic location. This hotel is situated between the old and the new town, great location for everyone. Plenty of choices for food and drinks for all age types. The hotel, gorgeous hotel, right on the beach. Rooms are spaceous with great views. Beds are very conformable, with a good strong shower. Pools are nice with plenty loungers all around. Now the not so good parts : Hotel staff at breakfast can be quite rude, not helpful at all.Not all staff but there are a few. Clennliness, a bit of a hit and miss depending on what staff are on. Rooms are cleaned however our bins were missed on one of the days. The pool area doesnt get much of a cleaning, they do spray with a hose but do not Clean by moving the loungers so a coffee stain was there for 3-4 days.Shame really as let's the stay down slightly. Over all though nice comfortable stay and we booked again. Hopefully they can sort out the small attention to details as this would make an amazing hotel to stay in and closer to the 4 star that it currently should be....
