Very happy with the accommodation & excellent communication with owner prior to stay. Recent previous reviews of apartments within this small complex have complained about the pool - the pool was actually shut our first 2 days for maintenance & looks nice & fresh now after a repaint - The central courtyard overall is a lovely quiet suntrap but the hubbub of Puerto del Carmen is just a short walk away. On a previous holiday we'd discovered Cafe la Ola and it's wonderful sea views and chilled vibe so it was nice to be closer to that area too. Excellent local beaches but the 25-30 min walk to Playa Chica is well worth it for some lovely sheltered snorkeling. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Firstly, booking at Barranco Seco was very easy to book with Ann through Vrbo. The apartment we stopped in was D3 and the instructions to find it were very clear. We got the bus from the airport and got off at the casino which was very very easy and a two-minute walk to the complex. First impressions of the complex were not great as the sunbeds are very very grotty and then there was what looked like a dirty ring around the top of the swimming pool. Into the apartment we went , you have a few stairs to climb which wasn’t a problem for us. The key is situated outside in a key safe located on the wall. We found this very difficult to use as it was stiff where it’s been painted over. First impressions of the apartment were ok, it’s rather dated but on the whole clean apart from behind the main bedroom door where there were lots of what looked like damp flakes falling off the wall and then around the kitchen sink where the silicone was very dirty and grubby. The view from the apartment is second to none with sea views and a good-sized balcony. Although the apartment is very central it’s very very quiet so sleep wasn’t a problem in the very comfortable beds. It does get very hot as there is no air con but we knew that when we booked it. The bathroom was very modern and there was plenty of hot water. There were plenty of day-to-day utensils in the kitchen which came in handy. The complex itself is in need of some serious money spending on it. The pool is grubby as mentioned and t

The apartment was perfect for the supermarket 5min walk The beach 10min, shops &. Restaurants 5min. Great communication with Anne who owns the apt.

Quiet complex, good location. Plenty of hot water and reliable wi-fi. We stayed here for the month of February and found the apartment much as previous guests had stated. If anything, the apartment is slightly bigger than we expected with space to eat inside as well as out on the balcony. We had one problem during our stay when the curtain pole in the second bedroom fell down leaving the window completely bare. Our local contact, Lesley, inspected the situation and when we came back to the apartment the next day the pole had been replaced. Great service especially since it was a bank holiday.

Very nice property, everything you needed. Ann is efficient when responding to any queries. We would love to return. Thanks Ann Elaine and John

Apartment had everything you needed for self catering. Lovely views from balcony. Nice selection of TV channels. The only disappointment was the double bed not anything like photo but still comfortable. Spar just up the road, not far to carry shopping. Just a few steps to strip.

Great spacious apartment in a great convenient location

Ideal property for we three ladies. Although central it was very peaceful. Well equipped for our needs. We ate out so can’t comment on the cooking facilities. Good shower, plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. Fans every room but a lack of sockets in the bedrooms. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

This was our third time staying at these apartments but the first in this particular one. Previously we stayed on the other side of the complex backing onto the busy road. Our stay this time was so much better, lovely sea view from the balcony and the apartment having everything needed for a lovely, comfortable stay. A couple of issues while we were there but these were sorted really quickly. The fantastic pool was being cleaned when we arrived but was open again after a couple of days. All in all a great holiday and hopefully look forward to another visit.

Apartment was ideal for our stay, well equipped, clean and in a good location. Property needs a lick of paint, outside furniture needs a deep clean and the toilet brush needs replaced, out with these small observations we had a great stay. The pool area could be doing with new sunbeds as they are very old and worn. The owners within the complex itself need to come together and update the outside area. The pool was closed for 3 days of our stay due to a water PH issue which was not rectified due to their being no one who really knew how to fix it. Pool wasn’t cleaned during our stay and was visibly dirty. To summarise, the apartment was good, the complex is in a good location but the pool area needs cleaned and modernised with new sunbeds/umbrellas and some colour. We stayed in the complex about 10 years ago and doesn’t seem to have been updated since then. Great holiday though.

Excellent communication with the owner, the apartment has everything you need yes a little dated some things but didn't have an impact on our stay in any way there isn't aircon but there is 2 large floor standing fans would definitely go back and stay

Everything great many thanks

Lovely complex in a very good location. Two minutes walk to bus stop and taxi rank made exploring the island very easy.

Had a fantastic 10 days. Lovely apartment, lovely weather and fantastic location.....so relaxing!!!

Very nice apartment in a very quiet location. It has everything you will need for a comfortable stay, great views from the balcony and just a short walk to beach and restaurants. Anne was good to deal with and communication was smooth and easy. We will definitely be going back.

Spent 14 nights at this property ideally located a few mins walk from the front. A spacious apartment with everything you need. Dissapointed with the condition of the balcony furniture

Lovely little 2 bedroom apartment in a nice complex just off the strip. The location was great, balcony was a good size. The pool in the complex was cleaned daily and the area kept really tidy. The apartment had everything you could need for a self catered holiday. Would definitely book a stay here again.

Property needs a little bit of TLC but overall a nice comfortable place to stay with a lovely view.

We had an enjoyable stay

From booking to arriving, all went smoothly with good communication with the owner. No problems recommending to friends and family. Just off the strip, but far enough away to be quiet. Local supermarkets are walking distance as is all the town, including old town. We hired a car, which gave us access to all the island. For what that cost, it saved on taxis, bus tours etc. The apartment is clean and is getting a little dated, but everything is there and balcony is great for sitting and relaxing. Would book again.

We really loved staying in this apartment. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our 10 night stay. The apartment is in a quiet residential area but still close to the shops and restaurants. The pool was great and sun loungers were always available.An earlier review mentioned not enough hot water, which I was a little worried about but this must have been rectified as we never had a problem and all of us (family of 4) were able to shower every evening in hot water.There are lots of little coves close to the apartment and we soon found our favourite where we could play on the beach and paddle in the sea. There are also plenty of bus stops close by which we used for trips to Arrecife and Rancho Texas. Overall we had a great holiday staying in a lovely property ideally placed to fully enjoy Puerto del Carmen.

the apartment was lovely. the fan wasnt working and a bulb in the hall. i contacted the owner and both were fixed in 24hours. there is a shower curtain not a door which i am not keen on and the hot water in the shower doesnt last long so we had to stagger the showers. otherwise the apartment had everything we needed and the pool was lovely quite large. the apartment is very close to all bars and restraurants and its in a nice quiet location. i would highly recommend this property a beautiful view from the balcony. we stayed with a 5 and 8year old who had a brilliant time.

Home from home , very relaxing and peaceful location with a nice pool and plenty of sunbeds , I would have no problem renting this apartment again or recommending to family and friends.

Comfortable, clean apartment within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants. Approx 20 min walk into the old town, definitely worth a visit, plenty of local buses or taxis if you prefer to ride. Pool area very clean and well maintained with plenty of sun beds . The owners were very prompt and helpful with all aspects of communication.
