These apartments are in a fantastic location, you could'nt get any closer to the beach, paying extra for the sea view is definately worth it. The staff are very pleasant, friendly and helpful and the rooms are spotlessly clean, they are basically a room with small toilet and shower and kitchenette area which is ample for making light snacks, tea, coffee etc more than adequate and if there is anything you may need just ask, the staff are more than willing to oblige. Very good air con. also. There are loads of restaurants/bars right on your doorstep too so if you're feeling lazy you won't have to walk too far!! We love Carihuela and when we return we will definately be staying at the Plazamar, I would'nt stay any where else!!

I spent six nights here with some friends in May/June 2010. The location is perfect for the beach as it's right on the beach-front. The hotel entrance opens onto a section of Carihuelas main square.

The rooms are quite small but contain a comfortable bed, a TV, air conditioning, a modern bathroom and a small kitchen area. All rooms also have a balcony. Half the rooms have a sea view whilst the others overlook the small but busy square in Carihuela. Because of the location, the rooms overlooking the square are more noisy although it's more of a pleasant buzz (think busy restaurants rather than noisy bars or clubs). The kitchen area has a fridge, cupboards, two hotplates as well as a kettle and crockery/cutlery. It's a little dated but more than sufficient for preparing snacks and simple meals.

The owners and staff are really friendly and helpful. Although there isn't always someone on site, it's easy to get hold of someone if needs be.

In short, if I ever come back to this part of the world, I wouldn't think twice about booking into this place again! Enjoy!

Good communication with the staff. We were travelling from Granada and were able to arrange via mobile a time to meet for the key collection. No problems there.

The room was clean, modern and airy. Kitchen area was a wee bit small, but not a problem. Still managed to cook some food on the two ring hob. Shower room was a decent size. Good balcony too, with table and chairs.

Air con/ heating which was beneficial. Also, a TV with european channels; this didn't work properly, but the staff tried their best and said they would get technicalhelp later. I advised it was OK; we were only there two days and there was well functioning WiFi.

Ideally located in the heart of La Carihuela, at the Poseidon fountain. Excellent beach front views, and to the back, the views are on to the square/ Casa Juan restaurant.

Best part: location and friendliness of staff.

Worst part: Can't really put anything.

Spotless comfortable and well positioned apartments in Carihuela. Sea view was just perfect and worth the extra money. Lobby staff very helpful in event of airport delays from air traffic problems. Apartment cooking facilitie small but shop around for reasonable well priced restaurants off the prom. First time at these apartments but will return as ideal for the independant traveller.
