shirley, I'm going to these appts, for the first time, end of oct. I will do a review when i get back and try to answer your questions.
I haven't been yet but would say that no, they don't all have sea view, if any.

Hi Shirl, the link below will assist you in contacting reception at the Levante Club Apartments.

We stopped in the Dhali block on the 5th floor, room 5c. The view wasn't exactly scintillating, unless another hotels' swimming pool is your scene :rofl. For some strange reason, that particular view is on my desk top at the moment! I don't think there any sea/beach view apartments although perhaps if you were on the very top floor?

You will find my review of the apartments in the Hotel Reviews on the site.

Sorry Mods, I know there is a thread here somewhere but I can't find it, I wonder if it could be merged please.
My query is does anybody know if hair dryers are provided in the studios and apartments please? We're off a week tomorrow and I can't seem to find this info which leads me to suspect that I need to take my own. Anybody been please?

Merged David HT Mod

no hair driers when we were there, other half took her own

edit: ooops sorry just looked at title, wrong appts, we were in levante lux

No probs Rennie,
Have decided to take hairdryer anyway. I've read loads of reviews and nowhere is a hairdryer mentioned. Thanks everyone.

I'm looking at booking again for this october,
we booked levante club last oct but ended up in levante lux, via levante beach
I'm wondering if they do this a lot?
if i could I'd book levante lux but that's showing full for the dates i want.

Am being quoted cheaper than for same time last year!
which surprises me! i thought they'd all gone up because of the poor exchange rate.

anyway we'll be there again in oct!

Just back today. Will do a review later today or tomorrow. I would recommend the appartments although there were very noisy guests there the same time as us

I have stopped here several times in the winter and in the summer apartment was nice tidy kept clean and adequate nice little kitchen linen changed regular and location wise easy walking distance to bars etc.

I came back on Tuesday having stopped at these apartments for the second year in a row. I would recommend them to anyone but having said that, there's always someone who will want to have a whinge. There was a few smoggies on our bus who had cause to complain, why I don't know!

Hi, ive booked the above apartments for 2 weeks at end of June. Ive read on various forums that there is a quiet block thats not as rowdy. Im going to email them a couple of weeks before i go ,but no idea which block to ask for, can anyone advise on which block i should be asking for, thanks .

HI,

We stayed in the Levante club apartments 2 years ago over Easter. They were good apartments with a lovely pool area. We did experience noise at nights but it was from the Levante apartments directly across the narrow street- I think they were called the Levante Sun apartments. We had a couple of peaceful nights until loads (and I mean loads of different groups) of Spanish youngsters took over the complex for the rest of the week.

Sorry I can't help in advising you of a quiet block, I think it will depend on the guests booked in at the same time as you. We certainly didn't experience any noise from nearby bars.

the quite bloc is the main bloc were the reception is we stayed there a few years back and never herd anything while there and that was in july hope that helps

Thanks for the replies, will be asking for the main block now .

Sorry, but I don't think there is a quiet block in these apartments. If there are noisy guests booked in, they can be heard throughout the complex. It is very compact, so the noise spreads easily.

Suppose its down to luck on your chosen dates then lol, think i take earplugs with me just in case lol

I've stopped here for three years running now, each time the Dali Block. After the first year, I requested this block as it suited us down to the ground. The only noise I heard was comings and goings from the lift; which you are going to hear in any block.

Regards

Ian

Just got back yesterday after a brilliant week at The Levante Club Apartments. Pick up by David Gutteridge was spot on as usual.

Booked in to the apartments and as I've mentioned on another post, we were treated like VIP's. Got a free upgrade for the sky TV which normally costs 3.50 a day. We were allocated apartment 7D in the main block and we were pleasantly surprised that it was newly refurbished to a good standard and faced the pool. There were 2 bedrooms, each with singles beds, a full sized bathroom, an open kitchen which had a microwave, toaster, kettle and full size oven and hob. The lounge was of a good size too and had a sofa bed and a good size LCD telly which was wall mounted. There was a double balcony which you could access from the room and the bedroom.

We unpacked and then went down to check the restaurant out. It's in the basement which kinda means it lacks a bit of atmosphere, the walls are all bright orange and so are the plastic chairs. It reminded me of a university refectory but never the less, it was spotlessly clean and best of all they had wine, beer and soft drinks all on tap and it was HELP YOURSELF!! As it was mid afternoon, there were only snacks on at that time but they were suffice for what we wanted.

The food throughout our stay was generally very good with a varied choice. Breakfast was the usual full English as well as the cold meats cereals e.t.c that finished around 10.30 and then they took the toaster away but left most of the breakfast stuff out as snacks until 12 when lunch was available. Lunch consisted of soup, salads, fish, meat and veggie dish as well as pasta. Then there were lots of desserts and fruit to choose from as well as individual ice creams. One thing I really liked was that unlike most other hotels I've stayed in, tea and coffee were available all day long in the dining room. At 3pm the snacks were available right until 6.30pm when dinner was served. The afternoon snacks were things like burgers, calamari rings, little pasty things, sometimes sausages , chips, cheese croquettes e.t.c.. There was also always fresh fruit available too. Dinner was similar to lunch, they varied the dishes, we had steak one night and it was lovely. I think dinner finished about 10pm but not too sure and then snacks were available again until 11.30pm. I only went down once and had a lovely cheese and ham croissant.

They have a notice in reception saying you can pay for breakfast if you are self catering, it was 5 euros, then about 12 for half board, 15 for full board and I think from memory the all inclusive upgrade was 17.95 a day.

Now the main bar.. There was a bit of confusion at first to what was included on the A/I so things might change again but you could have Old English cider, local lager and spirits, glasses of wine (although we used to bring one up from the dining room as it was much nicer than the one in the bar) Best to ask for a plastic glass though as they don't like you removing the glasses from the restaurant.

Soft drinks, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, e.t.c. you couldn't get bottles of water, only a glass out of a big bottle or out of the coffee machine which might be a drawback in the hotter months.

We found all the staff to be really polite, friendly and very hard working. At times there was only someone on reception who had to double up on the bar but as week went on and it got busier, they seemed to be better staffed.

I liked the fact that they have an open kitchen which looked exceptionally clean. The chefs were always friendly and took the time to say Hola each time you passed by.

There were a number of Stag and Hen parties which to be honest was my main worry and although they were a little loud at times, it wasn't at all hours of the night. They were just out to have fun and I must say, some of the costumes were terrific and it was entertaining to watch them all. There were also quite a lot of families staying at the apartments so it was a relief that they weren't too OTT.

Just returned today from these apartments, never again. Will start with the positives. Staff were very friendly, rooms clean as were public areas.
Didnt sample the food so cant comment on that.
Now for the bad,
Over run with stag/hen partys
Doorbells being pressed nearly every night, or should i say morning, by said stag/hens too drunk to find the right floor.
Fighting by 2 seperate stag parties at pool area one afternoon, plenty blood and black eyes , still got to finish their holidays though.
witnessed 1 young lady giving some lad a treat on his sunlounger by the pool.
Couldnt use pool area as was mobbed , drinking and smoking in pool.

Im far from a prude ,nearly 40 of us went on holiday staying between the club and the lux, and we like a laugh, we spent a lot of time at the lux as it was far better for families, but i would advise anyone thinking of booking to stay here , to think again and spend your hard earned money on somewhere else.

That's a real shame!
you could get stags/hens anywhere I suppose
but IMO they've increased the chances by going AI.

We're going in sept but have booked into somewhere else
because it's cheaper.

As I said above I'd go to Levante Lux if I could

Mind you we got woke up at 7 every morning there by
an older couple upstairs!
