Stayed here for 3 nights. I was able to check in to my apartment straight away despite arriving at 11am. As previously stated, the apartments are very spacious, clean, and airy. I was in 118, ground floor overlooking the pool. The reception staff were informative and friendly enough, answering any queries I had. Location is good, just a few minute walk up a gentle hill from the sea, and a well stocked supermarket, and bus stop, and about 5 mins to bars, restaurants, beaches, and the small resort centre. I didn't use any cooking equipment but it looked clean and useable. Sofas and bed both comfy. Only things to note are there is no kettle, just a coffee pot, and only 1 or 2 English language TV channels (although I watched FA cup semis in Spanish). Pool was a little cold, but lovely relaxing area. I would have concerns about coming here in the summer, as there are only about 10 sun beds, and the fact you have to pay for air conditioning. But this stay in April has been perfect. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

“Ideal for a low-key Christmas break”

My partner and I spent a week at El Cerrito over Christmas. It was a last-minute choice but we really enjoyed our time there.

My partner and I spent a week at El Cerrito over Christmas. It was a last-minute choice but we really enjoyed our time there. As other reviewers have mentioned, the decor is a little old, but everything was absolutely spotless. Our apartment was far larger than we expected, and well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare basic meals, and we appreciated the extra touches, such as the blackout curtain in the bedroom. The complex is far enough from the main road for a very good night's sleep and, although we were there out of peak season, at a quiet time, we really didn't hear much noise from the other apartments. We didn't have much to do with the staff but they were always friendly and would no doubt have been happy to help, should we have needed anything. The gardens were beautiful and the pool looked clean (we didn't venture in, although it was warm enough to swim in the sea). El Cerrito is five minutes' walk from a Spar, and there are also two small local supermarkets just a little further away. There is a pharmacy nearby, and several restaurants. It's a 10 minute walk to the beach, which is very clean, with sun-loungers for hire. Bus stops for the bus to the airport or to Santa Cruz are a five minute walk away. Los Cancajos is a very easy place to have a relaxing holiday. It is very low-key and we found that El Cerrito really offered everything we needed to just kick back and recover from a busy year. The hotel is quite close to the airport (as is the case with all of the accommodation in Los Cancajos), so there is some noise from planes, but it is not a busy airport. The first flight is after 8 in the morning and the last after 9 at night, so this really wasn't a problem for us.

“Good price quality”

Like the title says; the quality you get is well balanced with the price you pay. Decent clean rooms and friendly staff. Location is fine, within walking distance there are many restaurants to visit. Only feedback I would give is that the bathroom had a bit of a chemical smell, but other than that … more

“Great value!!!”

We booked to stay here for a week and got a ridiculously cheap deal and we're sceptical as to what we would find when we arrived! It turned out to be such an easy place to stay-a 10 minute 10 euro taxi journey from the airport! The rooms There is 3 of us staying and the apartment is probably the biggest we've ever stayed in and very clean. It is so nice to come back each day with pristine bathroom and kitchen and all our beds turned down-not something we had expected with self catering! The kitchen is adequate although there is no oven so no big meals can be prepared but it is more than enough to do lunches or a light dinner. We have a sea view from the bedroom and you can also sit outside the apartment on one of the many chairs and tables which can be used, seperate from your private terrace! The Pool We couldn't believe that that the pool had no one around it for most of the week it was just us!! So no fighting for sun loungers like most hotels! The only downside is that the pool is absolutely freezing-so cold!! It doesn't get the sun until around 11am so That is the only downside. The location The location is maybe the only real downside. The fact that it is near the airport is such a bonus and the beach and supermarket only minutes walk always is amazing. However since we have been hear numerous locals have told us this is known as the cloudy side and we have noticed this-it always seems to be cloudy!!! Overall an amazing value apartment. I would definitely consider returning if los cancajos had better weather and if it was a bit more geared up for tourists!
