The maid came in every other day to clean and drop off clean towels. There was no entertainment or cafe/restaurant but you can use all the facilities at the Cala n Bosch hotel(which is a stones throw away)you even have the opportunity to upgrade to full board there if you wish.
The hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly and spoke very good English.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family and would come again the views are fantastic and location is brilliant. You are at the centre of everything.

The cleanliness in the rooms are brilliant, but the pool erea has like all dry mud, and bits buy the open bar bit.
The hotel location is fantastic, Round in the Marina they have loads of different restaurants. Some restaurants i love were: resteraunte la marina, chaplins and the britania for breakfasts...
The hotel staff were very friendly.

Having read previous reviews we were expecting the apartment to be a bit dated. Unfortunately, this was an understatement. The communal areas and outside look good on arrival but the apartment was in need of some TLC. Our apartment No: 17 was a 3 bed and had a fantastic position. To the far right of the property overlooking the pools to the left, the sea to the front (just beyond a minor dead end road) and the river into the marina to the right.
The Apartment itself was old and there were 3 filthy seats for an apartment which we were told slept 8 adults. The layout was great but way too little storage and only a tiny shelf in the bathroom. The sliding doors to the wardrobe fell off first day and the patio doors had to be lifted to slide open. This had obviously been the case for a long time judging by the shape of the frames.
The kitchen was adequate and we were delighted with the combination microwave. However, the cost of hiring toaster and kettle is extremely high. I can't remember the exact breakdown but we paid 140 Euro for a kettle, toaster, fan and safe key. Might be a good idea to stop at the hypermarket on the way and buy them a lot cheaper! The fridge was battered but clean but the cupboards really reeked and I never felt things were clean despite washing them myself. Eventually we left all the food on the hatch and avoided the cupboards altogether.
Being on the ground floor we could not keep the windows open at night and with no air conditioning you will need a fan in high season, probably one for each bedroom as it got very stuffy and airless.
There were hardly any plug sockets too. We purchased an extension lead so we could use the microwave or toaster without having to turn the tv off or cam charger etc.
The bathroom was huge but no storage and a very slow running shower with a not very effective shower head.
Balcony was a good size but only had 2 chairs.
The restaurant did not serve breakfast anymore which was disappointing as we intended to use this facility. During the afternoon and evening there is a cafe at the end of the property but my husband was ill after eating there so we didn't use that again.
All facilities at the Calan Bosch Hotel across the road are available for use of all clients. I hated this hotel and would never have booked had I known of its affiliation. It is big, boisterous, crowded, noisy and houses all the entertainment so if you like that this could be for you. We witnessed a near punch up between two sets of warring parents anxious their children got the front row seats for a show and never went back.
The pools, 3 of them, are too small for the number of apartments. There is a tiny one for toddlers and 2 others which I named the bombing pools. Don't expect to swim because if you are not being bombed by the kids (and their parents sometimes) you will be at the other side in about 5 strokes. The areas around the pools are tiled and its like an ice rink when wet.
The tiny gardens were not cleaned regularly. Rubbish was allowed to gather, crisp packets, coffee cups, old lilos etc.
I would also point out that if you have very young children the apartments are very exposed. On 3 sides a road and the other the river leading to the marina or out to sea. No wall is higher than toddler climbing level. We have a 2 yr old and speak from experience.
The apartments could be so much more for what seems to be relatively small effort. Its unfortunate our tour operator didn't exactly help in their representation of them which should be acknowledged but for a property in such an enviable position its a wasted opportunity.

Can't wait to go back and take my children - literally walk out of the door and into the marina area and 2 minutes to the beach - cannot fault it!
The on-site restaurant was excellent- open all day for breakfast, coffee, dinner etc.
Pools ideal for children and adults.
Rooms cleaned every second day.
Entertainment is in Cala n Bosch hotel which is across street. Kids disco, bingo and tribute bands (Robbie, Madonna etc) were the norm. kids club during the day etc etc.
Deposits and fees required for hire of safe, kettle, toaster etc - well worth doing.
The staff could not have been any nicer and made every effort to be helpful and friendly.
Highly recommended!

There was plenty of room to sunbathe whether it was around the 3-4 pools or in the surrounding shades of the garden.
Entertainment was at Calan Bosch Hotel and is fantastic with the younger children U10's

The staff were very friendly and spoke excellent English but appreciated my lame attempts at Spanish. We stayed for one week and our towels were changed 3/4 times. We had a two bed-roomed appartment which was great for a family but, as you entered bed 2 via bed 1, may not be so ideal for a group of friends....!! Bed 2 had bunk beds but did not have any rail for the top bunk and we therefore did not want our oldest to sleep up there even though he is 12. Every night we just put the mattress on the floor and he slept there.
We ate in the on site restaurant 2/3 nights which was fine - adults set price 10.5 euros, children 6 euros.
Option to upgrade to all inclusive as the next door Hotel Cala N Bosch were available if desired. We did not try the food here and other holiday makers did not recommend it. All entertainment was based over there as well - fine if you enjoy bingo etc otherwise give it a wide berth!!!! Ice Creams on site were 3 Euros - the nearby supermarket just over the little bridge were selling the same things for 1.70 euros.
The swimming pool at the appartments was cleaned every morning and was lovely for sun bathing but beware if you are on a early/late season holiday, it is not heated and was colder than cold rendering it empty except for very brave children!!!!
Airtours were running two trips on the Tuesday and Thursday. For a family of 4 the trips would be

Rooms were spotless but in need of some modernisation and very spacious. although we were self-careing we used the restaurant often especially at lunchtime.
Food was good, especially club sandwiches and very reasonably priced. On site supermarket was cheaper for all the essentials than using the bigger ones in the resort. The staff were all friendly and although the entertainment was limited we have fond memories of 'Wablo'and his bingo games,such a laugh.
We had a sea view to the left and the Marina to the right. One minute to the Marina, one minute to the beach so what else do you need.
Having visited the resort before we will return and to the Marine apartments.

Was dissapointed as an adult for the entertaintment in the evening but we could use Hotel Cala N Bosch if we wished but found this very busy.
Would definetely love to visit cala n bosh next year and would also return to the marina apartments.
