Las Tartanas

The apartments are well equipped and comfortable, with excellent pools and a private feel. You’re also close to everything, including the Yumbo Centre and Playa Beach.

The room is comfortable and everything works, though there’s nothing especially notable about it. Parking is very limited, so a larger car will probably have to be left outside. I didn’t find the area or town particularly interesting. The dunes are the only real attraction, and development has badly damaged the area around them.

It’s a peaceful bungalow complex in a good spot, a little over a ten-minute walk from Playa del Inglés. Some of the bungalows could use renovation, and the shared areas could be better. Still, the calm atmosphere makes it a good holiday option in both summer and winter.

A few things could use fixing, but they didn’t get in the way of our stay. We’ll come back. This is a lovely little house with a fenced garden where you can shut yourself away after the busy tourist areas. It’s private, quiet, and the nearby bars and street traffic were barely audible. It isn’t especially modern, but if you want luxury, you should choose a hotel. We had everything we needed, from a washing machine and kitchen basics to salt, sugar, and oil. There’s an umbrella, lots of towels, and sun loungers in the garden. The bathroom was comfortable, the fridge was huge, and the owner was kind. We ate breakfast on the terrace each morning while birds chirped in the bushes. Grocery shops are a few hundred meters away, and parking is free.
