Las Fuentes

2nd visit here, we love it, reception staff very helpful. Large Balcony with beds and table & chairs, plenty of space, fully equipped kitchen however the locations is perfect for eating out -close to Los Cristianos traditional vibe but close enough to walk to the party area, or if you can't be bothered to walk more than 2 minutes there's plenty of great restaurants, bars and a nightclub on your doorstep. The view is uninterrupted - beautiful sea view, the complex is one of the older ones which means it's solid and sound proof - on both stays we have never heard or seen or neighbours. There are a lot of stairs so if you have mobility concerns then email reception ahead of booking to get placed on the entrance level - this is the top of the complex - great views!

We had received a text from our tour operator saying that reception was open between 10am-2pm and then again from 4pm-6pm and how to receive our keys but to our surprise there was a lovely lady there waiting for us who got us checked in. We were in 1E, you open a locked gate to enter your "block" and then to your apartment, opening the gate you get a beautiful sneak peek of the beach, but then opening the door to our apartment I just said "wow" absolutely not what I was expecting. The balcony was the stand out draw to this complex for us, it's huge with 2 sunbeds and a patio table and chairs and amazing views of the sea. It's very private with only the last foot or so being overlooked by the balcony above, it's an absolute sun trap however the roof helps keep the window and patio doors in some shade. The rooms do get hot, we got a fan from reception so between that and the sea breeze it was just about tolerable in the evening. The apartment itself is decently appointed (we’ve never travelled SC before so don’t have anything to compare it to), little 2 ring hob, microwave, kettle and even a coffee maker. Bathroom is a shower, no bath, bit awkward to get in the shower you had to climb round the toilet to get in. Bedroom had ample amounts of storage, 2 double size wardrobes, one with a handful of coat hangers and the other with shelves. 2 single beds, but could be pushed together (wish we’d have took a fitted sheet to prevent the gap) The sofa bed was already made up for our son and was quite comfy. Any "negatives" that I mention are purely niggles, but to some can be a deal breaker so worth mentioning. Steps, there are a lot of them, if you're coming up from the prom/beach then you've got a lot of stairs and then stairs down to your apartment. It certainly kept me from putting on the holiday weight, but it could be difficult if you have mobility problems. There is some noise from a nearby nightclub, you can't hear the music but just the constant boom from the bass, they're open till 3am. There are some restaurants and bars in the local area but depending on what you’re after then you may find that you’re having to have a walk into Los Cristianos itself (6-7mins stroll) for more variety, certainly for breakfast. There is a Spar and a pharmacy across the road, and a large Mercadona up the road (about 4 Euro in a taxi). There is a taxi stop right outside, taxis are quite reasonable starting price is 3.15, we got on to near Veronicas and it was 7.50e, or 4.50e to The Patch.

The apartment was perfect. Spotlessly clean. Staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Perfect location, the view is stunning - overlooking the beach. Good selection of restaurants/bars - ranging from snacks to fine foods. Lots of steps to get in and out of the apartment (and to the beach but a great bar halfway to get your breath back!)
