Sep 2008, Mr K Hopkins

apartments were clean pool area and gardens were very nice thats the plus side. the place needs refurbishment and refurnishing from top to bottom.only about 24 apartments so it would not take a massive amount . the place is run on a shoestring budget and it shows all over.the manager is also the cleaner/poolman/receptionist and part time gardener.safe deposit boxes are in reception which is shut half the time so you have to go looking for the manager to open up luckily he lives on site so you can find him .if you get home in the early hours there is outside lighting on so take care it is very dark.its a shame for the place because it could be really nice but it is slowly falling apart and every bit of furniture including reception needs throwing away and replacing.as a place to crash it will just about do,but only just.one good thing did not see any cockroaches or ants in the room,maybe they moved out.

Jul 2008, Mr G Newlands

These apartments have been left in a time warp. The dated furniture and beds which are easily 30 years old are dirty, uncomfortable and totally inadequate.There is literally no storage for clothing in apartments that are supposed to sleep four or five The cheap plastic patio set ( two chairs and a table ) is ingrained with years of dirt, and the plastic is so thin that they bend when you sit on them. I weigh around 13 stones, but if someone heavier were to sit on them, they will be in for a serious fall. The access to the apartments is very dangerous with uneven crazy paving, broken and loose tiles, and dodgy steps being some of the many hazards you have to negotiate to reach the dingy apartments. The towels are paper thin, old and hopeless for drying and they were never changed during our 7 night stay. The cutlery and crockery ( should anyone be brave enough to consider using them ) is old and looks like a few remnants left over from a car boot sale. We never saw a maid in the whole seven day stay which gives you an idea of the standards the owners set. The guests were mostly Spanish with a few British, although the Spanish were the noisest lot i have ever experienced and were bawling and shouting and jumping in the pool at 4, 5, and 6 a.m. on their way back to thier rooms, every single night. If i could give this place a zero out of ten i would. The only way to improve the San Carlos would be to raze it to the ground. To sum up... a hellhole that should be avoided at all costs.

Sep 2007, Mr G M Moore

Six rooms were booked for group visiting Spain for a birthday party. The apartments were not clean, furniture old and worn we would not sit on sofas because of stains and general discolouring.
Kitchen facilities were virtually nonexistent, gas hob and refrigerator, very little crockery and cutlery. Bath had mould around the top, towels were old and worn you could almost read newspaper through them, not changed once during stay we used our own. Coin slot TV.
External walkway to first floor apartments had rotting timber in places.
Staff not very pleasant. Place best avoided.
