read reviews before booking and some were poor others ok but we found the apartments to be clean a nice place to stay swimming pool area also nice bit of a steep hill and a few steps leading up to the apartments ok if your not to old. llorett was a nice place to visit took 15 minutes to walk there plenty to do and see.Fenels beach which was about 5-10 minutes walk away was lovely .bus services were just along from apartments and cost 1,50 euros to most places i would supermarket very close i would recommend the mariposas as a good place to stay very good value for money take no notice of the bad reviews will definetly be booking up again next year

We stayed here in September 2010. I agree the transfer bus does drop you off a mile down the road without really telling you were hotel is but other than that there were no huge problems. The pool area was very nice and kept clean. You get what you pay for so did not expect luxary so was not dissapointed i enjoyed my stay.

Stayed here for a week with friends and would totally recommend for a cheap getaway. The apartments are basic and no frills. Personally i found the beds a bit short (I'm 5"11) and the mattress a bit uncomfortable...but you get what you pay for!

Loved having easy access to the swimming pool - well maintained and cleaned daily.

We found the staff friendly and helpful. Happy to call us a taxi, directed us to the local supermarket (less than 5 minutes down the road) ....

We went after the summer break, so it was pretty quiet, but could imagine it could be quiet noisy during peak times.

Located a short distance from the main drag, and a ten minute walk to Fenals Beach (loverly).

We got a taxi from Girona airport to the apartments (46 euros) - cheaper and easier than paying for the rip off transfer fees you could end up paying with your low cost holiday booking.

just returned from one of the worst holidays in my life,although an extremely cheap apartment that does not excuse it being filthy,as said by the previous review(sept 10) we arrived by transfer bus which dropped us off at the fenal gardens hotel,the driver did not help with the cases off the bus and just grunted and pointed direction of hotel,after walking up and down streets finally found it,top of a very steep hill!!!! and loads of steps up to the reception,so after i had humped 2 cases a holdall, pushchair and a 2yo baby,i was not in a good mood,after the 50 euro deposit bombshell,i asked if there was any food available(9.30 pm)was told no,only pizza,so off we went to find our room,looked ok in the darkened lighting,went back and returned with 2 burnt pizzas,lush!! next morning ants crawling all over the place,luckily we took some insect spray and killed all the little mites,had to spray the room every night and morning for the whole week to keep them at bay,sheets had been changed but had an awfull smell,tv not working,just what you need when nothing goin on in place with a young daughter,after 4 days FINALLY tv fixed(4 days!!)never tried the food after the pizza experience and the filth of the place,but chicken burgers and chips seemed the call,and never many in snack bar,pool filthy,dead lizards on the bottom,never saw anyone cleaning it all week,no toilet rolls suppied not even one for the first night,staff very poor and every comment was"on by myself so cant help you at the moment"towels were changed once in the whole week,my young daughter has now returned home with a very ugly rash on her back,chest and cheeks,all i can think is it is off the bedding or the water(only ever drank bottled)to make matters worse there was not a lot going on in fenals with only the one bar having entertainment(robin hood)and no entertainment anywhere to keep a 2 1/2 child entertained,which meant a walk into lloret,which really was something i didnt want to have to do but it was our only option,so all in all,apartment(stay clear esp with young children)and i would not go to fenals again and could not recommend it to anyone with young children unless you want them to be bored out their skin,oh and the internet is slow slow slow,1 euro for 13 min and i managed to loads 2 pages in that time.
