"Be carefull if you book an accessible apartment, the bathroom floors are very slippy. and the handrails next to the toilet are in the up position. i didn't know this when i nearly lost my balance and went to grab it. the handrail went down, and i went down with it. i passed out for i dont know how long, and woke up in a pool of blood. with no recollection of what happened until 3 days later. now i have flashbacks of the pain i felt when my head hit the stone floor. if they fix the bathrooms, i will remove my review."

"Had a great holiday here a couple of years ago so had no hesitation in rebooking with Jet2. This booking was for a SUPERIOR apartment. Very disappointed to discover the flat was in a block with NO LIFT access. Apparently there is only one block which has a lift (which only stops at half landings). If you are allocated a flat on the 4th floor you have approx. 64 steps to reach it ! The sofa in the living room was very heavily stained. There were cracked tiles on the balcony and the plaster on the balcony ceiling was hanging off in places. The only difference I could see from the standard 1 bed apartment was a larger kitchen and it contained a fridge freezer. Only 1 electric socket in the kitchen. Making tea and toast was a two stage procedure. The toaster was 'open style' - an accident waiting to happen. No hair dryer in apartments but you can borrow one from reception. Room was serviced every second day. Lovely wee pool. 24 hour reception. Found staff to be very helpful. Security box in apartment. 20 euros for a week. These apartments are in a great location, so handy for everything, minutes away from the beach - lots of bars and eateries on your doorstep but in a quiet location. Overall I was disappointed with the SUPERIOR apartment and unfortunately I would probably not return due to the fact there are no lifts."

"When we arrived the lady on reception didn't even acknowledge us for five minutes as she was looking at her computer screen. Booked a deluxe apartment for 11 nights, and I can see why people comment it's dated. The kitchen drawers didn't open or close properly, none of the cutlery matched, no chopping board, no place mats or coasters, tea towels were old and degrained. We didn't need it cleaning that often, but the cleaners forgot to change a pillow case and bed sheet on one occasion, and didn't leave fresh toilet rolls. The plug on the iron was in bits when we arrived and we had to ask for a replacement. Outside is very clean, pool area and surrounds, and very quiet. Plenty of sunbeds, but two men still put towels down every day at 10.00 and then disappeared for four or five hours. Two big balconies at front and side of apartment, lovely views of sea. Well and comfortably furnished, plenty of storage, and a great shower. We've stayed in La Carihuela many times in the past, but don't think we'll be staying here again."
