Parada 1 Apartamentos

The pool area was great, and the apartment itself was lovely, modern, and clean. Our two-room place was huge. We were on the ground floor, though, and the balcony was a little disappointing: since it’s the second row, the view is partly blocked. From the photos, we’d thought it was on the first or second floor.

We had a wonderful few days and would happily come back. The heated pool was lovely both during the day and at night, and the balcony view is hard to beat. Service was excellent, and the place itself was beautiful. It is a bit far from the city center and pedestrian area, so getting around takes a car, but everything else was amazing.

The location was a highlight: broad beaches, a quiet family-friendly area away from the center, and just three blocks from Avenida 3 with shops, a supermarket, Shell gas station, bakery, and more. The place was beachfront, pet-friendly, comfortable, and had parking. Service was excellent, including daily cleaning. The bed and linens were spotless, the tableware was complete and good quality, and they provided umbrellas, lounge chairs, and towels for the beach or pool. We were very comfortable, and I’d recommend it and return. It was excellent value for money. A few small things could be better. The dining table was tiny and pushed against the wall, so you’d hit your elbow while eating, though it wasn’t a big deal for a couple of days. The parking spaces are very tight and take a fair bit of maneuvering. Also, I only used the pool once and came out with greenish hair. I have bleached highlights, so blondes should avoid getting their hair wet there.

A peaceful spot for a vacation, especially for families or anyone with pets. The ocean view from the complex is unbeatable, and it’s only a few blocks from Avenida 3. The apartment has the kitchen basics, including a kettle, toaster, and coffee maker. Everything is electric, but it works. There’s an elevator, gated covered parking for extra security, and an outdoor heated pool.
