Stayed early season in May, we have stayed all over the island over the years but like the area due to the close proximity of Ciutadella. Yes the apartment was a bit dated but it was spacious and clean. We loved the view of the wooded area and could see the cathedral lit up at night. Also after many years going AI we enjoyed self catering , we got in the basics and eating out is very reasonable in the local area, Frankie’s and L’Ancora and many more to choose from. It’s a great base for exploring the island and always get a car from Miramar in Calan forecast. We have booked again for May 25.

“Nice, big two bed apartment in a quiet area close to the small beach.”

We had a 2 bedroom apartment in Block 2 (2303) and it's one of the biggest apartments I've stayed in. Don't go expecting luxury and lavish surroundings and you can't go wrong. It is listed as a 2* (or key) apartment and I can honestly say I have stayed in far worse 3*+ hotels. The rooms had the usu… more

We had a 2 bedroom apartment in Block 2 (2303) and it's one of the biggest apartments I've stayed in. Don't go expecting luxury and lavish surroundings and you can't go wrong. It is listed as a 2* (or key) apartment and I can honestly say I have stayed in far worse 3*+ hotels. The rooms had the usual red pine furniture that is the norm in Spain especially with budget accommodation, a small but perfectly functional kitchenette in the living area which has a small balcony, two good size bedrooms ( one std and one huge with it's own massive balcony) and two separate good size bathrooms. The mattresses were very firm though. I last stayed here in July 2013 and I found the rooms to be stifling in the summer heat without air conditioning, but this time I found the ceiling fans efficient enough in the milder September weather. I loved the location of these apartments ( I usually stay in the Hotel Cala'n Blanes a few minutes away on the other side of the bay, but decided to go self catering this time instead of all inclusive). There's a lovely pool with a reasonably price and well stocked bar, and the beach is only about a 5 minute walk away (check out the Pirates cove bar on the beach. Great fun and amazing hosts). Cala'n Forcat (or Los Delfines as it's also known) is a 15-20 minute walk away where there are plenty of bars and restaurants- although there are more and more empty and boarded up places every year so it is starting look very run down. Half an hour in the other direction is Ciutadella, which is a beautiful city and you can easily get to any other resort on the island from there. Would definitely stay here again out of season. We had no issues, enjoyed the space (worth the bit extra for the 2 bed apartment) and found it to be very clean and the staff very welcoming.

“Very quiet location”

Unless you walk 20 minutes into Los Delphines there are no shops. We got the bus there from the supermarket near Mr Peds for 1.05 euro. Two stops. Plenty of shops and Indian, Chinese, Mexican restaurants. The bus outside the apartments takes you to Cuiadella for 1.80 Euro. Well worth a visit. Pool … more

Lasagne was served cold in the middle. Always plenty of sun beds. Apartments were fine. No English tv channels. Wi-Fi very good. Staff lovely, especially on reception.
