Wonderful
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
We are pleased to read the electricity cuts did not put a significant damper on your stay. Strangely, even the electrician could not find the issue and the following client didn't experience any cut outs. However, we were notified by the local authorities that there were issues outside the complex in the main manholes so this was resolved externally.
We hope to welcome you again in the near future.

Lovely Duplex Apartment
As usual we like the location and the apartment.
We were disturbed by pneumatic drill on a few occasions one being just after 9am. The building renovation on the next Apartment was noisy as they drilled 2 big holes in the side and front of the building. I understand improvements have to be made but we were not made aware of this.

Thank you for your kind words about the location and the apartment. We sincerely apologize for the disturbance caused by the renovation work. Unfortunately, we were not informed about the timing of the construction either, and it was beyond our control. We truly regret any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay and appreciate your understanding.

Great location, great apartment, great Caribasol support
We booked through Caribasol as we had seen their properties on a previous trip. They were very helpful at the booking stage.
We had the unfortunate challenge of having to move our trip at the last minute because of illness, and the team were very supportive and helped us move the booking. During our stay they were very helpful. I would highly recommend them.
Thanks

Many thanks for your feedback. It was a pleasure meeting you. We are thrilled you had a great stay and look forward to welcoming you in the near future.
Nice location, great views. Showing some age though.
Love the view every morning, the terrace is amazing. The property is comfortable but is a real mish-mash of decorating, just thrown together in a that-will-do manor. The living-room is badly laid out, with too much furniture that just didn't make sense, so we didn't bother to use it.
Its showing its age though, with dirty shower silicone, and the one bathroom door not closing due to swelling.
The development is great, with lush planting and good views.

Disappointed
When we arrived the staff at Cabrosol were excellent - extremely helpful and friendly. However, we are two people in our mid-70's and when we realised just what was involved getting our cases from the car to the apartment, we were a little shocked that this had not mentioned prior to booking. There were so many steps. On entering the apartment we were shocked to realise that the spiral stone staircase on the advert was actually the staircase to the bedroom. Again at our age this was extremely difficult to navigate - so much so that when leaving we packed our cases downstairs. It is extremely dangerous and the property is definitely not suitable for people of our age, and certainly not families with young children. Access to the terrace is from the upper floor bedroom and therefore taking food, drinks etc., to the terrace was very precarious.Also, a sign needs to be placed on one of the patio doors as I walked into it when it was closed and actually had a slight nose bleed.On a lighter note, the apartment was really well equipped and spotlessly clean (hence the reason for walking into the closed patio door!)On looking through the property description there is no mention of the spiral stone staircase being the only access to the bedroom/terrace nor the access steps to the property.This property unsuitable for the elderly, families with children and people with disabilities and we think this should be flagged up on the property details!

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience, and for your kind words about our team at Cabopino – we’re so pleased to hear they made you feel welcome.
We’re truly sorry to hear that the layout and access to the apartment were more challenging than expected, and we sincerely apologize that this was not made clearer in the property description. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we fully understand how the spiral staircase and the number of steps could have made your stay more difficult.We take all guest feedback seriously and will be updating our property listing to better reflect these aspects, so future guests can make a fully informed decision. We want every guest to feel safe and comfortable, and your insights will help us improve.
We’re very glad to hear that despite the challenges, you found the apartment clean and well equipped. It means a lot to us.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your thoughtful review.

Elenor D is a really well equipped one bed apartment.
This apartment was really well equipped, has a lovely balcony that is private and quiet, great partial view of the sea. Bed comfy, two great showers, plenty of space. Good supermarket a few minutes walk away and bus stop to main towns etc about 10 minute slow walk.
Be aware that if you struggle with stairs, there are lots, including a spiral staircase with deep step.
