I have never submitted a review before but was so impressed that I thought it deserved one.
Although a little nervous as we got dropped off in the middle of 'the strip' between all the bars I shouldn't have been.
A bit of a climb up a lot of steps but I was expecting this. Hence totally unsuitable for the elderly or those with very young children.
The apartments were large with two big double rooms (although all single beds) with a large bathroom and descent size kitchen (twin hotplates, microwave and fridge).
All of it was marble tiled and absolutely spotless.
Maid service every other day and she even did the pots once!
Two pools (one large with no shallow end and a kid’s one) plenty of loungers and a toilet block by the pool. Again the area was spotless and cleaned every morning at about eight.
The staff were all friendly and couldn't have been more helpful.
However there is no bar or entertainment so your kids may get a bit bored unless they make friends whilst they are there!
Fifty yards across the road to a large clean beach. Turn left at the bottom of the steps and you're straight to the bars.
Turn right and a 10 minute walk to the old harbour and the posher eateries!
All in all extremely clean, spacious and quiet (you can’t hear the many bars), definitely recommended.

We stayed at the Caleton Blanco in 2005. The apartments are really nice but do get really hot through the night I would recommend getting a fan from the reception for the time your there.
The night life is excellent. Try a club called Titos that is a good night out. Also there are some really good bars.
The restaurants are nice too. A really nice Chinese, come out of Caleton Blanco and turn left and about 10 mins up the strip.

I am just back from holidays at the Caleton Blanco apartments. I thought they were wonderful, the staff were friendly, the apartments were clean and tidy and the area around the apartments was very clean. The pool area was cleaned every day, we thought this was very hygienic and a cleaner came and tidied our apartment most days of the holiday.
There were a lot of steps up to some of the apartments but this was not a problem for us as the rest of the complex surely made up for this.
The location was ideal, the complex was situated right in the centre of Puerto del Carmen with the nearest restaurant/bar being about 10 yards away from the reception area. The beach was right across the road.
Overall I had a wonderful stay at the Caleton Blanco Apartments and I would definitely go back for a holiday again.

I was there for a week with me two daughters, my sister and 2 sons and her boyfriend, we were in apartment block C and it was lovely apart from climbing the stairs.
I loved the view and the fact we had our own pool area was great as the kids didn’t want to stay out all day in the sun. It was nice sitting there by pool and then at night when the kids were in bed we would sit on our balconies and drink and listen to the pool etc.
I was bit disappointed there was no air conditioning but my dad hired fans for us for the rooms and it wasn’t too bad.
I would definitely go back there again the staff where friendly and welcoming and I would go on me own as well without kids as it’s too warm.

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at the Caleton Blanco apartments block B in Puerto Del Carmen. The apartments are very spacious with a large balcony and are more than adequate to cater for a family of five.
The location of the apartment is absolutely ideal with the huge sandy beach just across the road and if you turn right at the bottom of the steps you can enjoy a pleasant 10 minute walk to the Old Harbour. Overall the restaurants are very good and it does not take very long to find your favourites also most provide a take -away service which is still good food and very reasonable. There are a number of steps to climb to and from the apartment but a slight detour around the pool breaks the monotony.
There is plenty to do and would certainly recommend an excursion around the island i.e. there are various tours on offer however do not book with your tour operator they are very expensive you can generally find it cheaper by asking other tourists.
Once again great holiday and highly recommended.

We stayed there for a week in Sept and it was the most beautiful place I have ever seen.. My sister, her boyfriend and all our kids stayed in the apartment block C and it was so nice to see the pools where the kids could go every day instead of walking over to the beach in the very very warm sun....
I got loads of pics of the place and also the rest of the town and loved being there for a first time holiday to a foreign place it was worth it... we aren’t taking the kids though the next time. Because it was to much for them
The only problem we had was no air conditioning in the apartments so my dad had to rent the fans out for the week other than that it was brilliant
I also think there should have been the umbrellas by the pool at the sun loungers.

Fabulous, you will not regret going!
We were in Block C in the apartments, they were the best apartments as they had the sea view. The apartment was very spacious and extremely clean, big balcony and the cleaner cleans the apartments everyday except one.
We went to a lot of restaurants as the apartments was situated near enough to them all. There is a superb Chinese restaurant left and across the road, just past Burger King. You have to go there, Charming Garden, The waiter is very nice.
Another nice restaurant is La Ola. It’s about 15 minutes walk from the apartment, turn left and keep walking up the strip and you'll find it. All the restaurants are lovely, I didn’t find a bad one!
Overall the apartments are very nice. People who work there are extremely nice. It’s been a fabulous holiday and I would really advise you to go to the Caleton apartments, you won't regret it.
One piece of advice, don't buy any electrical items in the small shops, they’re not good, even if they are cheap. And don't let the shopkeepers lead you into their shop.

The Caleton Blanco Apartments were a fantastic place to stay and we had a brilliant two weeks at Puerto Del Carmen. There were one or two things that we were not happy with, firstly there were plenty of sun beds but no umbrellas - this we felt was essential especially for the children.
Secondly we were in an apartment which was facing the sun in the afternoon, the rooms got unbearably hot (no air conditioning) I would recommend hiring a fan heater. I would also recommend that you don't get any excursions from the tour rep, turn left at the bottom of the steps and there is a shop about a quarter of a mile down the strip which is far cheaper!
The staff were friendly and the pool was always clean and tidy. Plenty of places to eat but it tended to be similar. Nice Italian Dolce Vita excellent food and very reasonable.

Caleton was a great place to stay. Friendly staff, great facilities in the apartment, and great value for money.
The restaurant below to the right, was brilliant, and many a night we would find ourselves there. They catered for my Nan’s 80th birthday, and provided a cake, and party bags with a few days notice. Another great restaurant was the "Restaurant grill" which serves the best Peppered Fillet steak around.
Turn left at the apartments, and keep going until you reach the single pathway. Tito's is also a great night out, the kids love dancing around the dance floor and stage, and the staff are really friendly. My only advice would be to avoid the English bars, quite frankly you get a better service from the locals, and they really value your custom.
All in all it was a great holiday - other than the 80 odd steps. Although my Nan managed it, but she is quite fit for her age.
