El Pinar

"The apartment I stayed in was all I needed, two singles pushed together, a large shower with a large and mobile shower head. Also a sink and two ring hob that I didn’t need, a fridge that kept bottled water and pop cold and a decent size balcony overlooking the pool. Maids made the room up and changed the towels daily if you left the hook on your door. There is always sunbeds free and the area and pool is spotless with a lifeguard. Breakfast was lovely with bacon, eggs (fried & scrambled), mushrooms, beans, hash browns, rolls, toast, a range of cereals plus fresh fruit, sliced meats and cheese. Also tea, coffee, water and juices. The atmosphere is quiet but the staff are friendly and helpful. It’s situated next to the beach gaining easy access to the warm sea. If you go snorkelling take some bread to feed the fish out your hands. I’ve had a great time though a week wasn’t enough. 😎🏝️"

"Having stayed at El Pinar around 15 times, we took our daughter, son-in-law and the grandchildren, aged 6, 2 and 6 months there are booked the Penthouse apartment, as we've done before, at a cost of €6500.00 for a week. We complained about no hot water in the kitchen on numerous occasions, sink was not hygienic, we had to boil the kettle to enable us to wash up, although the sink did not keep the the water in it as the plug had corroded, had to have cupboard taken of the wall as it was falling off, had to chase for towels on three occasions, had a toaster that was faulty, kitchen utensils were almost non existent, shower cubical was dirty and cracked and on the day we left we had planned to eat in the restaurant, only to be told at 16:00 "the kitchens closed", opening hours are 13:00 to 22:00, all of this and more fell on deaf ears and after weeks of complaining, I got a reply basically saying that what we had reported/complained about was not true, sadly we wont ever go back"

"Clean apartment, comfy beds, nice pool (shady at times which was good for us), helpful staff. Really appreciated the blackout curtains for a good night’s sleep! Great location right on the beach with a tap for de-sanding your feet. We went half board and the breakfast buffet had a great variety. We also had pizzas in the restaurant one evening and they was delicious. We had a hire car and managed to park in town for free on the road 2-3 mins walk away."
