“Better than expected”

After reading some of the reviews we went here with an open mind. We arrived at reception to find both members of staff very helpful and friendly. Our room was 324 in block 3. One flight of stairs so no bother. The room was a 1 bedroom with 2 balcony’s, large lounge/kitchen area. We were B&B and th… more

After reading some of the reviews we went here with an open mind. We arrived at reception to find both members of staff very helpful and friendly. Our room was 324 in block 3. One flight of stairs so no bother. The room was a 1 bedroom with 2 balcony’s, large lounge/kitchen area. We were B&B and the food was basic but ok. Every member of staff was friendly, helpful and informative. Great swimming pool and pool bar. Attached to the Ukino was a bar called Sweetspot and it was. A great little bar and great staff. No complaints here. I found about 20 restaurants in the local area and ate in 6. The area has a few hills but doable. There was 2 fantastic beaches very close but there are steps or a steep road getting down to them. We really enjoyed this cheap 3* Hotel. Great value for money.

“Nice quiet break”

First time at this hotel and can't really find much to complain about. Very large room with fridge freezer, and cooking facilities, microwave, kettle, toaster, all the usual really. We had a nice balcony overlooking the pool, although we just walked down to the beach everyday (10 mins). Nice cafe/… more

First time at this hotel and can't really find much to complain about. Very large room with fridge freezer, and cooking facilities, microwave, kettle, toaster, all the usual really. We had a nice balcony overlooking the pool, although we just walked down to the beach everyday (10 mins). Nice cafe/bakery on site, cakes, sandwiches, toasties, wine/beer and all at very reasonable prices. There are a few nice restaurants within easy walking distance, especially the New Delhi indian which we really liked, also a nice steakhouse and a couple of Italian restaurants too. Supermarket is only a 10 minute walk away which has all you need and the local biggest town is only around 20 minutes on foot, downhill going, which means, yes ... coming back is more of an effort. Would i return, no because we like to go somewhere different each time but i would certainly recommend a stay here.

“Isolated”

I’ve just returned from Ukina Terrace,and feel I really must emphasise how isolated this place is.

I’ve just returned from Ukina Terrace,and feel I really must emphasise how isolated this place is. The apartments themselves are roomy and clean and the beds are comfy and lashings of very hot water available, the kitchen is well equipped with lovely stainless steel saucepans, but I’m afraid that can’t make up for the fact you feel rather cut off from everything. The nearest shop is quite a walk up a 30% gradient hill , so you can’t just nip out for any bits of shopping you may need, there is no shop attached to the apartments which seems a bit strange considering they are self catering units. There is a local bus which again is a bit of a walk to get to , in fact everything is a bit of a walk to get to . You don’t get that holiday vibe it’s more like a residential area . There are one or two eating places again a good walk away uphill of course. I am in no way slating the apartments or staff at all , if anything I feel that Jet 2 or whoever you traveled with don’t make it clear enough about the location , you really need to hire a car to go anywhere. I’m so glad I have the Uber app on my phone and it was my saving grace in getting around. We tried the local bus to Alberfuria it drops you at the bus station again in the middle of nowhere and you have to get another bus to the old town so two lots of bus fare and frustration! I found an Uber was as cheap if not cheaper .The surrounding area Porches is very pretty but it’s not enough to sustain you for a weeks holiday , you need to be able to go somewhere and you just can’t. I wished I’d taken more notice of some of the tip advisor views but you know how it is you think it will be ok , but honestly for older less mobile people like myself it really is not the place for you.
