La Paloma Blanca-WELCOMEPLAYABLANCA

We've be coming to Playa Blanca for many years and have always booked a villa but this time we decided to do things differently because we wanted that sea view and it was well worth sacrificing a pool/garden for.The terrace is fabulous, the view was as we expected due to frequenting the bar below and the restaurants great nearby. As for the apartment itself, the beds were really comfortable, we cooked just once and had everything we needed to prepare a good meal. We particularly liked that La Paloma Blanca feels like 'a home from home.' I guess what I'm saying is that hasn't been turned into one of those very modern over perfected places for tourists. It's authentic, lived in and enjoyed x

Lovely apartment, balcony perfect and the views i will never forget. Bed so comfortable, shower lovely too. Great location as well. If there was one suggestion i could give the owner, is a full length mirror is needed. Very small thing but nice to see what you look like when you are going out.

A bit of a mixed bag for us. Whilst the location and view were superb, overall the apartment is a bit tired looking. We didn't get a good first impression as we struggled to find out what was happening on the day we arrived, having asked for an early check in, no one let us know and we actually dropped our cases with the cleaners as I couldn't get hold of anyone. Would have been better if someone met us there to go through how things worked, so had to find out most things ourselves or via whatsapp messages as the instructions in the apartment were very basic/out of date. Wasn't warned about being charged for air con, but Raquel sorted this quickly, as she did other issues we had. There were lots of good points - everything worked, and apartment is well equipped. Smart TV was good, great main bed mattress, and good shower. Not so good - the sliding patio door stuck so we struggled opening and shutting it. Noise from restaurant and bar went on until past midnight, not customers but cleaning up noise and moving furniture. There is only one mirror in the bathroom, and no full length mirror at all, which made getting ready longer and more awkward than needed. The apartment is accessed by a spiral staircase so not good for people with mobility problems, or who can't carry cases that way. You can't fault the view though and we spent hours looking out to sea!

Great weeks stay at this apartment. Clean, comfortable,everything worked, comfy bed and lovely hot shower. Lots of storage and plenty of hangers. Super terrace with that fabulous view. Raquel was very helpful and prompt with any queries/ problems.There is some noise from the bar and pizzeria below but they close around midnight and we had bedroom door shut so no problem. The reason for my overall 4 stars is that the property is getting a bit shabby and could do with sprucing up or a refit. The patio doors are really stiff to slide open. A mirror in at least one of the bedrooms would be a nice addition. Would I stay there again, most definitely
