We initially booked to stay in the Paraiso del Sol and after being dropped to that reception we were given our keys and taken to Paradero 1. Check in was fast and friendly and a map was provided by the receptionist to show how to get in at night, when certain doors were shut for security (which got a bit annoying but made it a safer place to stay i suppose!)
Our room was clean and tidy, spacious and comfortable. The cleaners called daily and respected when you placed the hanger outside to say not now, and came back later. They didn't clean the floors however which were filthy, my only real criticism.
We asked at reception as we had a few problems with broken equipment and no hot water initially. Within an hour these were completely resolved and the staff were very frendly and helpful.
The evenings at the bar were very good value and great fun.
I was very pleasantly surprised by these apartments as I was expecting very basic and slightly stomach wrenching ugliness. I enjoyed my stay and would go back again.

I stayed here with a friend, the first week of May 2007, After reading several reviews I was sceptical about the quality of these apartments, but was pleasantly suprised. They were very spacious, cleaned everyday-with fresh linen, and in a perfect location. The beach a short 5 minute walk away, plenty of supermarkets near by, including a 24hr, and the lively Veronica's night life strip a 5 minute walk. Taxi from the Airport cost 20 euros each way. Safety Deposit Box cost 11 euro.
The only downside of these apartments were the security of the glass sliding doors, there was no lock, just metal poles that you had to wedge in place, and then there was a small gap so we had to fill this gap with socks and a plastic bottle to ensure the door couldn't be opened, which was a bit of a hassle everytime you went out.
In peak season these apartments would be great for the young who want to party every night, but no one else as the walls are paper thin, or else out of season.
Had a wicked time, enjoyed the Veronica's night life, and loads of places to eat along the sea front, it really is a great holiday destination!!

A group of six of us have just returned from a week staying at Apartments Paraiso del Sol Paradero. The self-catering apartments were clean and spacious and the hotel staff offered a great friendly service.

The location of the hotel is also perfect – it’s a 20 mins drive from the airport and is a max 10 mins walk from the beach and all the bars and nightclubs down the Veronica's Strip.

The hotel has a decent sized pool, deck chairs and a bar that served good cheap food. In off season you can get space by the pool easily but I’d think you’d probably have trouble in high season as it’s quite a small area! This wouldn’t bother us as we spent most of our time at the beach during the day and used the pool in the late afternoon when all the screaming kids were out of sight!

Another reason why these apartments are more suited to off season was that the evenings were quite cold and you could sleep well. The apartments we stayed in didn’t have air conditioning or fans and you couldn’t leave your patio door open for security reasons and for bugs getting in your room. One valuable tip if you have a phobia of cockroaches is to request a first floor room as we caught a dozen of them during our week stay.

Overall I would say this is a great budget place to stay if you’re into spending your day by the pool or on the beach and partying all night! Perhaps not the most convenient hotel in summer for the bugs, lack of air conditioning/fans and sun loungers, but it’s near the airport, beach and nightlife and we used the apartments to sleep, have drinks before we went out and the pool area for late afternoon swims and cheap snacks. We had a fantastic holiday on a really tight budget.
