Studio Parque Santiago I

Our studio had everything we needed, including UK TV channels. We also liked the quiet pool and the little bar beside it, with happy hour from 3.30-5.30. Sunbeds cost €3 a day. The location worked perfectly for us.

March 25. We had two boys, aged 13 and 10, and the place felt too quiet for a family of four. The pool rules mean children can only swim quietly, and although most residents didn't seem to mind the boys splashing and making noise, we parents felt on edge. The complex seems mainly for residents, so families may not find it a great fit. You pay for sunbeds and parasols, but the cost wasn't too bad and there were always plenty free. The heated saltwater pool was lovely, and the salt wasn't too strong. We wouldn't bring the kids back here, and might try 3 next time as it looked more family-friendly. The complex itself is lovely and well located.

Felt safe here, with no hills to deal with. The location is hard to beat for the sea, restaurants, bars, and nightlife.

The complex is superbly maintained, and there's a nice bar with good prices. We can take drinks to the pool, and while you do have to pay for sunbeds, they're always available and don't cost much. With two adults and two children, two beds are enough if we only want a quick swim. The pool is slightly salty, which is fine. We booked an air-conditioned apartment, which matters a lot to us, and paid 1700 euro for 12 days in high season. We're used to higher-level hotels in turkey, so this is a different kind of place, but we're happy here. It's right in the center, close to all the restaurants and bars. We were surprised by the supermarket prices nearby. Dino express is the cheapest, but compared with holland, where we live, prices are 50 percent higher. We don't like that you can't throw a soft ball in the pool. We knew that before booking, but still don't like it. One week left.
