Having spent some time reviewing where to stay in the Costa de Luz we decided on the Sol Sancti Petri based on the reviews listed but were so disappointed with the apartment. The staff are all lovely and the place is very busy and from the outside it looks well kept. However the standard of the apartment we were allocated (Room 278 in Block 10) left a lot to be desired. Firstly it smelt damp on arrival, the place is old and looks it,wardrobes shabby, as is the bathroom but the kitchen/living area was the worst. Kitchen cabinet doors about to fall off, fridge has rusty shelves, two rings for cooking and only one pot and a pan, and finally ants crawling around the tap area. As we had travelled from Portugal (3.5 hours by car) we decided to stay the night and review things in the morning, however my husband could not sleep with the damp and ended up with a cold and sore throat and we just left the next morning although had planned to stay for 5 nights. Had booked through Hotels.com and was not a cheap deal however once we got the UK number they were helpful in organising the cancellation and refund. Parking is also a problem and they charge €10 per day for the underground hotel car park.
Would not recommend to anyone or return ever. It is listed as 2 star accomodation and was priced at the top end of this grade so our expectations were high. Most times this works out well - we have never had a problem with this standard for self catering before, however, this time the 2 star rating is over-generous.
