La Penita

"This was our 6th visit to La Penita and just as good as ever. The pool bar has had a makeover and has a new terrace with a sea view, toilets and a lift and still ran by the same friendly ladies, with food and drink available all day at reasonable prices. The hotel itself is having a revamp but whilst there was work going on, this was not noisy and did not interupt our holiday. The staff are just as friendly as always the maids did a great job cleaning our room three times out of the 7 days and it was my husband birthday whilst away and they gave him a box of chocolates which was very kind. We had no issues with getting a sunbed, and this was mid morning not sure if this was due to the time of year so not as busy or we are just not as worried about where we sit. The location is perfect, and is 1 minute from the main strip and the sea, really lovely hotel, good location and friendly staff."

"Visit number 3 to these apartments and as usual great service from the pool bar, the place has had a major refurb since last year and although some work was still going on it was hardly noticeable and in no way was detrimental to our holiday. Again we booked a privately owned apartment which is furnished to a very high standard. Again I point out how close this place is to the strip, takes about 1 minute to go from the gate to the strip. If I was to criticise anything, they don’t up hold there published pool rules regarding sun beds with towels left on them unattended for more than 45 minutes sometimes all day with no one there, and people using 2 sun beds on top of each other even at times of high demand. Even this would not deter us from our next visit and look forward to booking it soon."

"Second visit here. So disappointed😥 Location is fabulous. Paid for pool view and requested top floor. We absolutely loved seeing parakeets on first holiday and top floor. Got given sea view that only got sun in the morning. Reception man wanted proof on my phone to see what room location I paid for which felt very insulting. Took 2 days out of 7 day holiday to move us. Got moved to ground floor, disabled apartment. Very spacious and great didn’t have to sit on sun beds at 7.30 am waiting until pool opened at 10 am. Very noisy above. Next door had a bird phobia apparently which seemed a bit of a weird place to come with beautiful birds everywhere. If you put towels on sunbeds you had to sit there until 10 am when opened. Husband went to get glasses from room and the rude, pool man threatened to remove towels and told him he had 2 mins. Rules so inconsistent. Spanish family were allowed to go in the pool after it shut. Manager wouldn’t let us bring a chair down for me to sit on as I have back problems but was fine with people doubling up beds as so uncomfortable. New restaurant very modern but so dangerous. No handrails. Lots of elderly people who struggled with steps/ different levels. Accident waiting to happen. I saw couple of people falling."
