Location
Bedroom furniture was disappointing, as there was not enough drawers, but there is a safe.
Bathroom quite spacious, and includes a bidet. Onsite cafe ok, so was the pool. Kids had their own play area and pool, which kept the main pool quieter.
It was nice to be able to shop just across the road, at the Spar supermarket. The beach and promenade is a short stroll (3 minutes) away. Puerto Del Carmen has 2 miles of georgeous beach and shopping, which has been tastefully designed. The place fely safe, and a decent atmosphere until late. No drunks or louts like Tenerife.
Some entertainment on site, but two large sites across the road, are also free to enter. Staff were helpful, particularly when we had some trouble with the car rental company.
Very memorable place, from which we explored this classy Island.

We knew this when we booked the holiday.
But we were a little shocked to find how cold the apts were.{ No heating in the rooms }
The front & balcony of the room faced the sun all day, that was not too bad, but the bedroom & living room was extremely drafty & cold.
We used towels as draft excluders.
The sun never reached the bedroom which felt at times quite damp.
The floors were cold under feet with no carpets or rugs.
We asked reception for 2 extra blankets, this was on the first night, they replied that the apts were full & they did not have any spare blankets.
So i asked the receptionist to try & source more blankets, she said she would try.
But for the 14 night stay we did not recieve anything.
The pool was fine, the location was fine, approx 150 metres from the main road & night life.
We will not be staying here again.

They are located about 200 yards up from the main 'strip' which runs all along the coast for about 4km where you will find all the bars and restaurants.
Ours was a 1 bedroom apartment so the room had a sofa with a pull out section for another bed. Not that much sitting space but plenty of eating space as it had a table and chairs in the room as well as the large balcony.
The room had a decent oven and hob, kettle, toaster, but no microwave which would have been useful.
No air-con so it can get hot in the rooms at night if you shut the doors, but we left the doors to the bathroom and bedroom open which allowed the cool breeze to flow through.
They are quiet, with no music blaring out round the pool, but go in the pool bar area there's a couple of plasmas playing MTV etc.
The pool bar is pretty expensive for drinks, charging

There was a 'quiet area' in a garden underneath our apartment which we used a lot to sunbathe and read.
Lunch by the pool was good and the whole place was spotless.
We will probably stay there again because everything is so close and hassle free.

The kids club was enjoyed thoroughly by all our children, aged 10, 8. 6 and 3. They were more than happy to cater for all ages in the club and the kids couldnt wait to get down there every day, the kids club reps were lovely too and very good to the kids.
The pool bar was great for a snack or a cool drink. Their breakfasts were as good as anything we ate anywhere else while on hols. The reception staff were very helpful and the cleaning staff were very thorough especially on the day after our 4 children had been up all night with very sick tummies..... (not a pleasant sight...!)
The entertainment in the poitin still was very good and their food was excellent, as were the prices.
The apartments were quite basic but then, we didnt go on hols to sit in apartment and it did us fine for what we needed it for-sleeping in and the odd snack.
I did note the absence of a washing machine however and spent in excess of 100 euros in a local launderette over the two weeks... Next time a washing m/c will be a must when booking with 4 small kids.
Lastly the apartments were located about 3-4 minutes walk from the main strip where all the shops, restraunts and pubs are so its close enough to walk but far enough away so we didnt hear any noise at night once we went back to the room.....apart from the nightly entertainment from the complex accross the road but this finishes up at a decent hour!!!
All in all an excellent holiday enjoyed by us all, we are very sad to be home but intend to book our next holiday in the next few weeks for next february and will be hoping to return to aguazul. a big thank you to all the staff who made our hols so enjoyable.

thought I was getting a bargain at that until the after taste in my mouth.
Entertainment for family low quality poor acts.
Must be honest reception service was 10/10, Very helpful.
But in desperate need of Modernization upgrade ASAP.
Very disappointed on arrival with family.
