Good location but tricky without a car
We loved Puerto de la Cruz and the beaches near the apartment. The apartment is comfortable and as described although could do with a microwave and dishwasher and DVD player. There were no decent English speaking channels on the TV which felt a bit unwelcoming but the WIFI was good in most rooms (but not front bedroom) so we were glad we had a laptop etc to watch films etc. We had the use of a lovely shared pool which was very quiet. However the rules of the complex say you must only use the 2 loungers named for your apartment and we couldn’t find any for ours so sat anywhere and then got thrown off by a miserable elderly German couple! The only disadvantage to the apartment is not in the description and should be. If you don’t have a car to use, you obviously have to walk everywhere we were happy to do. However although the apartment is about 10/15 mins walk from the beach, it is down quite a steep hill and of course up again at the end of the day. There is a good Lidl supermarket about 15 mins walk up the hill. These walls were fine for us with teenagers but might be quite tough for older visitors or young children. I feel that this should be on the description and it should not be assumed that everyone hires a car. We didn’t need one and used a friendly taxi a couple of times in the evening. A lovely peaceful restful holiday but bring your laptop for TV and be ready for the steep hills if you are not hiring a car!
