Location
The door to our apartments was very old and rickety and could easily have been kicked in, I came home every night in fear of having been broken into.
There are a lot of steps around the complex and would not recommend it to elderly.
I found the noise at night unbearable. Music from the commercial centre was so loud I felt as though the speakers were at the side of my bed. By the end of the week I was exhausted.

There was no microwave, all the kitchen cupboards were hanging off their hinges, there was a damp patch on our bedroom ceiling which was musty and smelt awful and to be honest it was the most basic accommodation I have ever stayed in and was not cheap!!
Staff were friendly and the pool bar was ok, there were lots of Spaniards on holiday there who totally dominated the pool area and were unfriendly.

The pool is average size with enough sunbeds for those of us that used it. With the beach being about 15 minutes walk away alot of the other guests went there. The pool bar was run by a lady who spoke very good English and was very friendly.
We did not use the restaurant as most times we ate out, nothing to do with it being located at the top of the Apts as found out last year and with suffering back problems was too much to tackle.
The manager Hans Peter made us very welcome remembering us from last year. He would always go out of his way to help and would come to the apt to give us messages from my daughter. On one occasion I asked if it was ok for my daughter and 5 other Reps to come to the apt for a Sunday Dinner and he went out of his way making sure we had enough crockery,cutlery and seating. He also went all over the town to get me a potato masher,Bless him.
There is no entertainment but with the commercial centre being 5 mins walk away you do not need it and if you did not want to go out there are TV's in the apts with a 24 hr movie channel.
The Cumana does not appear in the first edition of the 2007 Direct brochure but we were told by Hans that it will probably be in the second edition as they are still with Direct. When I returned home I went on the Direct site on the net and put in dates for next year and it is definitely available so I shall be returning without a doubt.
Only downfall, Hans has told us the owners of the apartment we had have put it up for sale. I only hope the new owners decide to carry on renting it out.

enjoyable holiday.
The 2 bedroom apartment was very spacious and clean with a large terrace. The kitchen area was well equiped with fridge, microwave, cooker and toaster. The maid service was excellent, pool bar served good food and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. The pool although small was quiet and peaceful.
Although the Cumana apartments do not have entertainment, they are ideally situated with only a 3 min walk to the commercial centre via a small amount of steps. Despite this short distance to the commercial centre noise was minimal and did not interrupt our sleep.
I would recommend the Cumana apts.

The owner Hans gave us a warm welcome. We stayed in Apt 31, which had two very well sized bedrooms, a bathroom, living area and kitchen/diner. Rooms were very clean, they were serviced 5 days out of seven. Safe key payable at reception, we payed 12 euros for the week, very reasonable. TV was coin operated, one euro lasts about 60 mins.
Maids would not only make beds, clean and mop etc but also wash up if you had not had time, and put everything away. The apartments themselves are to the left side of the beach if you are looking up, and luckily there is only one small flight of steps from the commercial centre to get to them. We have stayed in some of the big 3/4 star hotels in Puerto Rico this year and were not sure what to expect.
However the Cumana exceeded our expectations and we had a fab time. The pool wasn't busy at all so plently of loungers. Beware though it is not heated and was very cold!
I expected there to be a lot of noise due to proximity to commercial centre, but again the Cumana did not disappoint, we slept the best we had in ages! Enjoy.

Staff very friendly and helpful.
The only downside was all the steps to our apartment 111 of them from reception to our apartment 415, but we did get used to it as the days went on.
Pool area very nice,always got a sun lounger and very nice pool side bar.
The resturant was not very nice only seen 2 people in it in 2 weeks, it was very old.
Had some good excursions Souix city fantastic.
Pirate ship excellent, and free party night at H ROCK BAR the live band THE RHYTHM KINGS were brilliant we even went back the second week to see them again.
Overall holiday was very good but would stay some were different next time.

There are quite a few steps but no more than anywhere else in Puerto Rico. Only a 5 minute walk from the commercial centre so no need for taxis and very handy after one to many on a night out.
Would definitely recommend to anyone planning a stay in Puerto Rico.

Overall good value for money on Winter break. Dont fancy those steps in summer.
