We have just returned from a week at the Cabo de Banos apartments. You stay here but use the nearby (over the road) facilities of Los lentiscos. We booked here as a surprise as my husbands family had booked two weeks in Los Lentiscos. We actually tried Los Lentiscos but couldnt get in (though when we where there is was half empty...??) but Cabo de Banos was nicer anyway, a higher starage. We arrived mid morning and were handed the keys, the views from the balcony over the sea to Majorca were stunning and with it being on a cliff top, it was lovely and cool. The only slight negative would be that we booked with our one year old and a cot was not provided until we got back from dinner that night, but it was there, and it was a proper one, not a flimsy travel cot. Also they put us in the room with the best view but that did mean a flight of steps with a pushchair which we had to carry up every night. But this did not bother us. And this is probably down to our travel agent not telling them we had an infant, not them. The staff were very friendly with all our requests.

The facilities at Los Lentiscos were great, though the gym and sauna etc were not open as they dont open until enough people are there. We were told by the childrens reps (who would have done anything to keep the kids amused but there was very few kids there) that the week after we went was half term so they expected it to be packed.

We paid £530 for 2 adults and a infant self catering last minute off the internet for our week, which we felt was good value for what we got, our apartment had stunning views and a jacuzzi, though the tv is coin metered and we could only get news channels.

We would recommend Cala N Forcat to families, it is know locally as the buggy brigade, and everyone we saw was a young family, there were no young couples, no elderley, everyone was a family with kids. And the resort is geared up for it, with family friendly restaurants, waterpark, shops etc. Some would say it is too commercial, but for us it was ideal as there were six adults and three young children to keep occupied. And we hired a car for the week as our transfers would have been £120 and we hired a ford focus for the week and drove there and back. TOP TIP.

We would recommend the resort as well as Los Lentiscos and Cabo de Banos, just make sure you get a cheap deal on the internet. We would not have paid the £1400 our in laws paid (self catering...!) but it was a nice holiday for the price.
