The apartment was convenient and easy but slightly influenced by the fact that it is an older hotel. We had a fantastic view and sun from 0900 until it went into the sea. The terrace was big and good, where we ate breakfast every morning. This is a budget hotel that offers great value. Although many of the taxi a... More

We have been travelling to these apartments since 95 and they have been great. this holiday was different, they are now catering for Scandinavians and you cant get a high room only a low one as they say they stay longer so you cant have them. last trip for us I think, apartments need updating More

without doubt the babalu could do with a coat of paint and the ski-lift type lift would not be to everyones taste. badly lit corridors were also a problem.the lack of a kettle and toaster [ which can be hired for 20 euros] hardly qualifies it as self catering. no air conditioning might also be a problem for some.the view...

I booked this via Travel Republic and got a very good price (£250 for the week). We had also considered the “Colina Mar Hotel” down the road, but I’m very happy with the choice we made. We had a basic ground-floor apartment with a spacious sitting room and modern bathroom, bedroom (twin beds) was average size but with very handy... More

Ive stayed here a few times and have always had a great holiday. The staff are always funny (as in comical) and welcoming. The location is great for us to walk to the beach and down to the main commercial centre at night, and the smaller europa centre is just minutes away. The rooms are basic but have everything you...

These are nice apartments, quite basic but i guess you get what you pay for. We were on the 6th floor and the views over the sea and the pool were great. The balcony is huge and we hired two sunbeds for 6euros for the week. The cooking facilities are adequate and there is a microwave too. We had to... More

Last year we booked the babalu appartments as we have been here 6 times over the years, due to its sloping pool, great shopping location and some good restraunts, At the last minuite or accomodation was changed to the colina mar, due to re furbushment on the babalu lifts. I have been trying to book the Babalu again for next... More
