Aparthotel Costa Mar

fabulous place, ultra friendly staff and in a great location smack bang between matagorda and del carmen, cant fault it at all we were room only but tried the brekki and pool bar and the food was very nice, canny prices too, good bars and restaurants nearby too opposite the beach :)

The accommodation is basic and facilities are basic. Pool bar opens for few hours The breakfast and evenjnv meal was twrrible and food manager very rude to everyone. Avoid the food as it terrible Nice pool but nothing to do no entertainment for kids or adults. Its bit far out u need to get taxi or walk 20 mins to start of *****. Was nice accommodation but very basic

The hotel reception, bar and dining room have all been updated and are beautiful. In the block I was in all guests on floors 1 and above were all ladies singles or couples and I felt this was a conscious selection which I was happy with. The next block had a lot of families. All the staff were very approachable and helpful. For anyone with dietary requirements I am gluten free, every morning & evening I asked a waiter for a gluten free roll and within a couple of minutes a lovely wrapped warm roll was brought out for me. The chef explained any questions regarding the content of the food, I also have other allergies and they were happy to help. I enjoyed all of the food and the large selection meant I could always have a choice. The rooms are being updated mine was old style, very clean and even though I was on my own I had a king size bed a bit of a bonus abroad. I first stayed here in 1995 and yes I would go back again.

Had a week there. Read reviews, so here is mine! We were in A21, a 2 bed apartment with nice sized balcony looking over the sea. Good sized rooms, twin beds in one and a super king in the other. Mattress were comfy, always a blessing! Just had a sheet on the bed but didn't need anything else. Was a very hot week, air con would have been good but we survived! Lounge are a good size, yes, very dated furniture and the sofa/chairs not very comfortable, no cushions etc but we didn't use them much. Kitchen stuff all basic but there. Bring decent sized mugs! Tiny teacups not good (we always take mugs). Bring mini washing up liquid/tea towel/dishcloth....none supplied. Small hand soaps in bathroom, no complimentary shower soap etc. Balcony furniture ok, no sunshades supplied, got too hot to sit there long (I bring a small umbrella). Dining room, well set out, clean. Food as expected.....mainly European taste catered for but always well cooked and presented and fair choices. Staff quick, efficient and friendly. Small library, mostly German language books in reception. Didn't use the pool, preferred the sea which was beautiful for swims but it looked good, clean and well set out. TV in room small and just one English channel, basic news one, rest were Spanish and German, Internet free in reception only not in rooms. Well placed for bus outside, or nice walks. Bike hire in the little shopping centre. Good Indian curry there too! Spar is very handy. This is one place we think we would return to, it's reasonably priced, it's not 4 star so don't go expecting 4 star decor/furniture/food choices but it suits what we wanted, a good base, sea views, lovely swimming, walks, time to rest, people watching, something to eat for breakfast and dinner and local shops for lunch. Oh and the Mozzies were out in force! Take mozzie stuff. And a bonus was that local drumming group practices a couple of evenings a week just along to the right by the castle area. Good to watch!

Nice complex, quite, large apartments very near to the Los Pocillos beach. Nice evening buffet but I'd not choose again for half board. It's nice to have a change during the week. We very much appreciated the calm and the good facilities of the place. To improve: warmer swimming pool and more toys for the kids: for instance a couple of baby foot, a couple of ping pong table. Unfortunately the hotel has a solarium terrace, which is disgraceful: old dirty sunbeds, unusable ping pong table etc. This is a pity. Also to have a couple of complete chess boards would be fantastic. The apartment we had was very big with a huge kitchen. Though, the kitchen was empty, furnished only with the very minimum. We found this very strange and a pity. All in all we spent a nice relaxing week and we warmly recommend these apartments.
