La Baranda Apartments
Torremolinos, Costa del Sol

Mr W Magowan, Newry

These apartments were OK, very basic cooking appliances, a small worktop hob, small fridge, a very small oven/toaster, which didn't work very well. Our fridge broke on the second day which was replaced with a brand new one. The beds were very uncomfortable and seemed to be small almost like a child's single bed. The apartment was very clean and bed linen was very good. We had plenty of towels which were changed twice on our 10 night stay and bed linen changed once. There is no sound proofing what so ever, we were on the upper floor and you could hear the people below talking, flushing the loo, moving chairs etc, at times it was a bit annoying. Great TV which had a couple of English channels, our grandson enjoyed the children's programmes. The staff were really helpful and nice, they didn't speak a lot of English but this wasn't a big problem. They phoned taxis and couldn't have been any more helpful. These apartments are in a great location, close to the bus stops, the train and there is a great park a short distance away which you can walk to. It's a 5min walk to the beach, shops and restaurants, there is a little climb back to the apartment. There is a great big supermarket about 10 mins away which you walk to. We had a great holiday and if you don't mind just having the basic things when on holiday then these apartment are ok. You get what you pay for. I wouldn't stay here again, but then I never do return to any of the places I've stayed before. I think I would pay a little more for some home comforts when I holiday again.
