Club Ambassador Apartamentos

"We did consider 4 stars but on reflection the few things that could have been better were either minor or not the fault of Ambassador. The staff were all lovely and apartment was kept clean throughout and was very spacious with everything needed for a self catering stay. The terrace was large and although it only had one sunbed there was room for two and a second bed and sun shade were supplied on request. The wifi was very good. There was no aircon but the ceiling fans were just about acceptable for October temperatures. The only negative for the apartment was a separate charge for the room safe. I think the world has moved on and I personally expect a room safe as standard with no extra charge. The area has very steep hills and although we like walking it was a very tedious journey back to the apartments from the main tourist areas. The biggest disappointment was the food. We had booked half board at the Riu Garoe and this we found to be poor. It was a very average all inclusive type buffet with many dishes that were cold. There was always a roast meat joint but on one occasion they ran out of meat with two hours of service left. Stews were usually made of the same meat as the roast so if you do not eat pork for example it can be hard to find anything suitable on those days. The desserts were mostly typical gelatin cakes. It became very tedious after a few days and we asked if we could cancel the last week of the food package but this proved impossible. Our recommendation is not to book the food package but use the extensive self catering facilities of the apartment and/or eat out at one of the many restaurants in the area."

"A very good experience in all aspects, from the reception to the cleaning, comfortable, new, we have been here for 1 week and it was luxurious. Special mention to the entire Garoe dining room staff...IMPRESSIVE. We will return: Raquel and Iñaki THANK YOU."

"Great. Everything was impeccable. Warm welcome. Impeccable gardens. One very small point. The gas-powered garden equipment. Is it possible not to operate them between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM for lunch and nap time 😀"
