Aparthotel Esquinzo Y Monte Del Mar

Some good things 1. Very clean 2. Spacious apartment with good sized rooms 3. Beds comfy But plenty of bad too 1. The patio was terrible. Completely in shadow all day due to tall building only a few meters opposite. Also in a complete wind tunnel. 2. Terrible kitchenette. No kettle, no toaster, (use a saucepan to boil the water) no sharp knife. Due to tiny size of the two hot plates, could not fit 2 pans on at once. Microwave in a high shelf above hob so impractical and dangerous (I’m 5’3” and couldn’t reach it safely) 3. Very isolated location so you’ll need a car 4. Limited English spoken. Seems to be primarily a German destination. 5. Only 1 pool which was ok but in shadow by mid afternoon and not open until 10.30 in the morning so couldn’t have early morning swim. Also unheated so pretty cold (didn’t worry me as I quite like a cold swim, but be warned). 6. Very confused layout. although we were only a few meters from the pool, we had to go our the hotel, down the road and back in again to get to it because the path had been blocked off with glass portion barrier. Why? Why? Wouldn’t bother going back. If you’re in the 100 or 200 numbered rooms you’ll never see the sun!
