Hotel Bolivar

It’s a quiet, green setting about 350 meters from the beaches, and it’s suitable for pets. The apartments are decent, with outdoor areas available to guests. The garden and first-floor balconies have loungers, a laundry basket, and a table with chairs. There’s shared laundry and a barbecue too. Good value for money.

The apartment itself wasn’t bad and had air conditioning, which helped because it was very hot. The parking pass was a plus, but the cleanliness was a real problem, and we had to clean as soon as we arrived. I told the main contact about everything, but nothing was done to sort it out. I booked an online offer that included a week at Playa El Flamingo with an umbrella and two loungers. What we got was a lounger and a lounger at the back, away from the main Playa El Flamingo, in a family relaxation area affiliated with the residences where there’s barely a bar. Another beach sits between that area and the main beach. None of this was made clear when I booked, and the beach arrangement only applied Monday through Saturday, not our whole stay.

We’ll definitely come back. The place was beautiful, welcoming, and very well kept, and everything was spotlessly clean. The staff were both professional and kind.

This was a great spot for a peaceful break away from city heat and noise. In July it was around 25 degrees here, compared with 35 in Rome. The staff were always available and the place was clean, thanks Giovanni. The beach was awful, though. Forget it, the manager was unfriendly and arrogant.
