Residence Club El Paraiso

The rooms are spacious, and the quiet setting is great if you want to relax. It’s good value for money, the staff were friendly, and check-in went smoothly. There were downsides, though: the showers weren’t very clean, which took away from the stay. The property is also quite remote, with no public transport, so getting around without a rental car is difficult. It could work if you have a car, but otherwise the location is inconvenient.

The complex is very well cared for, and the pool is fantastic. We had a spacious holiday home with all the amenities we needed. Great place.

The pool was a real plus. We visited before the season, so it was quiet, with few people swimming and a very relaxing atmosphere. The place was clean, and there’s also a restaurant on site serving very good food at reasonable prices. It may be worth reserving, since I imagine demand is high in season and there aren’t many seats. A few things to know: the nearest beach is 3 km away, which you can see on a map, but I’m mentioning it in case it surprises anyone. There was no drinking water in the house, and the tap water was salty, so water and coffee tasted salty too. I’d suggest bringing a jug or two of fresh water before you arrive. There was only one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and no spare. The woman explained it was a starter supply, and guests staying longer or in larger groups would need to buy more themselves. The standard was average and felt quite cheaply built. The bathrooms, for example, need renovation.

We were very comfortable here, and the lady on site was friendly and helpful. The apartment complex is quiet, tucked away from the high rise hotels, and both the building and grounds are well maintained. The kids loved the pool, which never felt crowded. There were a couple of small problems, a broken bin lid and a vacuum cleaner that didn’t work, but they were easy to overlook. A coffee pod machine would have been nice, and a microwave could help with warming baby food for little ones. Thanks so much!
