Just back from these apartments. Here is a list of our experiences.

1. Arrived Friday night after a 3 hour ResortHoppa journey from hell. Given a bottom floor room that looked onto a building site.

When we booked through 2 can travel I requested a pool facing room on an upper floor. I went to reception and was greeted by German Al Murray (Pub landlord) look-a-like. I requested a room change and was told this would not be possible and to come back on Sunday.

His explanation was guests staying for a week or more had priority when the rooms are allocated, we were staying 1 week. He then gave us rubbish that older people and children had priority for rooms higher up.

The next day we sat at the pool and watched new guest after guest get a room we requested. After seeing this I figured there was no point asking again as the Hotel staff were not interested.

2. At night our room STANK (Room 2 Bottom floor Block C). At first I though it was the drains. We bought some bleach and poured down all drains and gave the cupboards a clean. It still stank. I think they maybe had someone buried under the floor.

3. Requested toilet paper - Buy your own I was told. This is the first time I have EVER had to buy TP when in apartments.

4. No Kettle. A coffee maker, yes, but no coffee filter paper. Had to boil water in a pan.

5. Electricity went off. I was told by Al Murray's mum (see above) it would be half an hour. Six hours later the power was back on.

6. The building site across the street started work at 8am and finish at 7pm. Noisy and no chance for a lie in except weekends.

7. We were given clean towels twice, Day 4 and 6.

8. The bed sheets were never changed the whole week.

9. Not enough hot water to have 2 showers in a row. There is a 50 litre electric water tank that takes ages to refill and heat.

10. You must remove all rubbish yourselves. Our room was directly opposite/above wheelie bins.

11. Entertainment. All poor. Not one thing that interested us.

To sum up. I will never go back to these apartments. It was a cheap holiday and you get what you pay for but I have had cheaper and better than the Europa. Do not go there, even if you win the holiday, you will regret it.

I think because we booked through 2 can travel and not one of the bigger travel companies, and hence no holiday reps.

What can i say........DONT GO!....

if you have booked and after reading these reviews...your thinking....SHOULD I CANCELL???? the answers is clear!!! YES!.

Unless you intend you use this as your base and spend no time in the complex.

Food is THE VERY VERY VERY VERY BASIC of BASIC! and if you are lucky enough to get it hot....WELL DONE!.

The pool is good. i will give them that.

Entertainment..... PLEASE!!! entertainment do tell me another joke...(MINI DISCO!) i saw 6-7 kids waiting for 2 hours then after throwing a strop/crying all left with parents VERY unhappy....

Kareoke.....PLEAS! dont be silly...

Whisper (2 girls + 1 guy). looked like big brother audition rejects!! and sounded BLOODY AWFULL imagine all those you laugh at when x-factor show the worst bits in the adverts and times that by 10!...

toilet roll....HALF A ROLL!! and when you ask for more they look at you like tour dirty!!!...

cleaning staff(well thats what they are supposed to be!) blanging and clattering about at 7.30-8am and laughing and giggling at the top of there voices in the hallways!...

This holiday was a joke from start to finish and i cannot recomend highly enough go somewhere else....anywhere else.....but not here!!!..

i hated it from the 2nd day and could not wait to get back to the UK...

OH and the flies.......did i mention the flies......i mean you cant miss them from the second you get to the apartment to the second you leave....there are flies in your eyes and all over yiu 24/7.


IF you have to goto spain... goto lorrete-del-mar (i think thats how its spelt!)



I hated this holiday so much i could not get back to write this review

I would like to say that in my eyes this is not a hotel,it is apartments that they "rent" out to holiday makers in my opinion. I was disgraced with this "hotel" the staff were rude and more interested in doing everything else except to help you!. They ask for a deposit of 50euros each this information seems to be on a "you find out when arrive type"!! We got 3/4 roll of toilet roll and when we ran out the reception was not open so had to BUY OUR OWN!! There was never any hot water and the bathroom floor was dirty and an utter disgrace. I have read other reviews on here about the entertainment at least they found it we could not there was no signs and no staff on the site that could speak english. It had my girlfriend in tears thinking she had wrecked our first holiday away together (because she booked hotel) If you have are leaving on a sunday or early in the morning i VERY STRONGLY recommend you get your deposit back the day before as we still haven't got ours yet!!! I guess they couldnt be bothered to open on sunday when i tried to go see them. Keep well away from this absolute hole if it wasnt for us going out everyday it would have wrecked our holiday but we were determined to just ignore the "hotel" and enjoy the rest of the time.Oh and dont forget to take your own RUBBISH away as leaving it could lead to a "docking" of your deposit!!!! what a disgrace.

The hotel was good and the bus station was just across the road which was great. Our room was in e block room 4 just opposite the reception on the ground floor facing the pool.

The room was good but the only bad thing was that we got no sun on our terrace which was a shame. I can agree with the points about the toilet roll being in short supply, we didn

We would never stay at these apartments again. Whilst there, there was a power cut in our block, we had to try to get to our room in the pitch black! & that was during the day as there are no windows on the staircase which meant no natural light, also the emergency lighting had failed,no fire alarm system working, no CCTV security (which is needed in this place!)in my Husbands view (who is IOSH trained) the building was in an unsafe condition and all guests should have been evacuated from the building, the power was not resumed until the early hours of the morning.
The bar staff encouraged drunkeness by selling alcohol to people already under the influence of drink which later lead to several outbreaks of violence outside our apartment door,we went to see the management, who were not interested, we then told them we had no alternative but to leave the hotel in the interest of our safety, we then moved to a 4 star hotle in Blanes

Upon arrival we had to wait for somebody coming from home to check us in(45 mins).what a joke this was, the lady firstly asked for the 50 euros per person deposit to be taken just up the road(chillion apts)before 10am the following day as we arrived at midnight.

The lady came with a bin bag full of bed sheets(20 euros hire charge, couldnt believe this) and were told these are for the week and sent opposite reception floor 4. when we opened the door what a shock we had, you could smell the drains(bad), apartment was dirty, no appliances whatsoever(everything had to be hired and I mean everything)we had no towels supplied, no cleaner all week, and as everybody else puts(no toilet rolls).

When we complained nobody was bothered. On the good side the area was nice, as was the pool, hotel staff reasonable, entertainment OK.

On departure day we had to clean room a lot better than found for fear of losing deposit and return bedding to agency up the road from hotel(what a joke).

I booked this holiday from hell myself and got exactly what I paid for (nothing), at least my flights and taxi were worth it. I would never return to this hotel and would recommend people to seriously consider before going here.

We stayed at the europa apartments in blanes.After requesting a pool view we ended up facing a building site were they started work around 5 in the morning every day.The noise was awful.The apartments were also very noisey with people running up an down an slamming doors all night.The staff were not helpful an very rude!They threw towels in room every other day but left the dirty ones to,and never changed sheets at all.They also gave us 1 toilet roll to last a week between 4 people.The hot water also lasted all of two minutes.The service in the bar was rubbish one night we ordered food they never told us it was ready left it on the bar an then gave it us cold,we told them it was cold so the lady pulled a face an put it in the microwave.Everyone has to give a deposit of 50 euros an the list of rules are endless to ensure you wont get it back,one being dont use to much water or electricity!.These apartments are the worst i have ever stayed at an i would not recommend any one to go there!!!!!!

Ive never wrote about my holidays before but im disgusted with this hotel.How do u get through a week with 1 toilet roll,hot water for less then quarter of a bath and without seeing a maid.The staff seem to hate the english,but if you are spanish or dutch they will see to your every need.There is a building site next to the hotel and work seem none stop.The food in the restaurant was disgusting and me and my son were sick after eating there.There is a leaflet saying that you will be throw out of the complex if you were making to much noise,but people were running about slamming doors and then god know what they were doing once inside the room.Also if you do decide to go make sure you get up at 8.30 and get a sun lounger or you will have to make do with the floor,as they get covered with towels by people who dont go back to them even if they go out all day.I would say to anyone who have booked to go,good luck you will need it and hopefully you dont go the toilet often.

After booking this holiday i read some of the reviews and was more than a little concerned about where I was going. My husband is in the forces and could not get leave from work so I was travelling alone with my 2 girls aged 14 and 11 and my son aged 8. We were situated on arrival in block D at the back of the apartments on street level. However after the first night i told the staff i did not feel comfotable with this (being alone with 3 kids and maybe a bit parinoid about security)and they happily moved us to block B above the reception and the arcade on level 2. The apartments were large clean and very nicely furnished. Fresh towels were given upon request as was bedding. The kithens were fully equip with all utensils crockery cutlery and fridge with freezer compartment hotplates and microwave oven.(no oven itself as commented in previous reviews) but this suited us fine as we prepared brekfast and lunch ourselves and ate out in the evenings. The supermarket next door to the apartments provided all the basics at a very reasnoble price. We did eat in the hotel one evening and the food was ok not brilliant but just fine. Drinks there were cheap enough as were ice creams for the kids at 1 euro a cone. The staff at the reception and in the bar were always more than helpful and the hotel was a good mix of English, German, French and Spanish guests(you know the hotels ok when the Spanish will stay there too) and also a mix of families singles etc Entertainment wasnt out of this world but kept all amused kids entertainer one night flamenco and kareoke which the kids joined in with. The site also had a laundrette facility which was cheap and quick to save bringing back wads of washing. The pool was clen and open 9-9 everyday so it was worth getting down to nab a sunbed first thing if you could. We were never disturbed in the night by other guests and our 50 euros deposit was refunded without any problems as were all the other guests checking out as we did. Noise wise yes the disco did go on until late but if you closed the double glazed balcony doors you didnt really hear it and my children were up anyway!! Resort was a nice quiet place with a beach that was clean but gravelly. I have never left a review before obvoiusly everyones experience and expectations are different but we all had a great time and thorougly enjoyed ourselves great value for money.

The Europa Apartments in Blanes are situated next to the disco. The noise from music and loud drunk people banging on and slamming doors in the appartments and shouting outside went on from 10pm until 7 am, it was virtually impossible to get any sleep at all.

No one cleaned,changed towels emptied the kitchen bin all the 7 days we were there, you had to do everything yourself.

The pool frequently had empty beer cans and bottles thrown in it when we returned after eating out in the evenings.

I did mention the noise to hotel staff but they were not interested merely saying that is how it is.

I have never been to any appartment this bad and I would never go back.
