Apartamentos Costera del Mar By Mc

Right on the beach, and it never feels too crowded. The apartment was lovely, clean, and had everything we needed.

We loved staying here. The location is right in the center, close to the beach, restaurants, and lovely old streets. The staff were professional and really friendly, and the apartments are spacious. Our first-floor apartment opened straight onto the street through two semi-transparent glass doors. Some rooms don't face the street directly, though, and instead look into a laundry room with its own window. We were glad they provided a washing tablet so we could use the washing machine. The bathroom had no ventilation, which made it hard to breathe in there and was causing the furnishings to corrode.

This was our second visit, and the spot works so well for getting to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Alex kept us well informed before we arrived, and checking in late was easy. The apartments were clean and great value. Service was excellent too, with the staff happy to help with anything.

The room was comfortable and the location is great, but the service was terrible. We arrived late, around midnight after our flight, and got stuck outside because the apartment complex has no reception desk and needs a separate entry code. Another guest eventually let us into the lobby after we'd waited outside for over an hour. We then had to stay there until morning, exhausted from the journey, because the owner hadn't sent the apartment code. The booking confirmation said we could reach the owner by WhatsApp or email. I emailed my expected arrival time around 4pm, well in advance, but he later admitted he hadn't read it. His office hours are supposedly until 6pm. He also didn't contact me on WhatsApp to explain that we needed a separate code for the lobby. I don't know why that information wasn't included in the confirmation after I booked directly through his website. I politely asked for a refund for the first night, since he acknowledged that the problem happened because he hadn't read my email. After that, he stopped replying on WhatsApp. Be careful booking these otherwise nice, reasonably priced apartments. Get the separate four-digit code before arriving in the evening, or have somewhere else lined up if it doesn't come through. Otherwise, you could be stranded.
