Apartamentos Blanes

We were happy with our choice. The apartment was about a kilometer from the busier area, which meant less noise, but there were still plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. We had a lovely ocean view and easy beach access. It was fully furnished, with just sheets and towels costing extra, which is normal. Plenty of parking, too.

The location and the view from the window were the only upsides for us. Inside, the furniture was cheap and old, and the place had a stale, musty smell. It looks like it may not have been renovated for about 20 years. The showers had nowhere to put soap or hang anything, and one shower door wouldn't close, making that shower unusable. The apartments just weren't worth the money and left us very disappointed. You also have to go to the administration at the camping to collect the keys and bedding, which costs extra.

The apartment was very clean and had a nice view. The bedrooms and bed were fine, and the kitchen and bathrooms had been modernized, though the furniture elsewhere was very dated. There are no washing machines in the building, so you have to walk five minutes to the camping. Carrying a full basket of laundry in over 30-degree heat wasn't much fun :p

The apartment was only semi-clean when we arrived, and there are no laundry machines in the apartments. Linens aren't provided either. They say that's because of covid-19, though you can get them for an extra charge. The kids' playground was closed, and the lawn by the pool couldn't be used.
