TAO El Cotillo

"Good location within easy walking distance of beaches & restaurants. Depending on your room outlook, you could be facing an expanse of wasteland used as a car park with a few resident camper vans. The complex however, has a comfortable & safe atmosphere. The outside space is well maintained although there is no shade & the furniture could do with some TLC. Superdino supermarket next door. Clean rooms. Well equipped. No room service. A change of towels & additional toilet rolls were left mid week outside the apartment door. Shower pressure low but water hot & enough to shower. NO WIFI in the apartment & none with Internet in any area. Issue making contact to gain access on arrival & language barrier with on site staff though they tried their best & were helpful."

"Just back from 5 week stay. Overall disappointed. It is well located near supermarket, shops, restaurants and beach and bus stop Very basic apartments, need total refurbishment, new furniture, paint etc. WiFi non existent. Roof terrace is accessible via spiral staircase,however no furniture up there so useless Although we did get change of sheets, towels regularly, apartment was never cleaned. Paper thin walls, very noisy, from furniture moving, showers, toilets flushing etc, early morning and late nights. No heating or A/C and gets cold at night. After paying nearly 3000 Euro, couldn't even get late checkout, despite complex being half empty Definitely would not recommend"

"Pros ..Large, clean well equipped apartment.Comfy bed.Lots of hot water.Next to the supermarket Cons...No internet.Luckily we used our phones as hotspots.Absolutely no sun on our terrace( if you can call it that) Was like living in a cave.We looked out on people sitting on their terrace/ balconies in envy.The only place we could access sun was round the pool or off complex.The table needed changing too as I wouldnt have put food or drink on it without a cover.We were there for a fortnight so not great.Weve stayed in El cotillo over the past 30 years but wouldnt come back to these apartments again.We stayed in a downstairs corner north facing apartment."
