Las Marinas

Rooms not clean, particularly the bedsheets. I only had to watch the cleaner, using the same dirty mop going from the bathroom through the other rooms. The reception/bar closes at about 4 every day. They charge you about £12 a day to use the remote for the tv & about £20 a day to use the safe. I recommend you don't eat there & shop at the local supermarket as it's very expensive. If you want very basic accomodation & peace & quiet then this does offer that which was the best bit, although the pool was clean, I wouldn't go again. This didn't spoil our holiday as we had the volcanic ash so had an extra few days. We were transferred to the Beatrice hotel 5 star all inclusive thanks to Thomas Cook! So it ended our holiday off lovely, at least it was clean there, but take a travel kettle if you do go there as you pay highly to rent a tea & coffee facility to have in your room!

great place, but they are selling the appartments so dont go there, they have work men in them all the time getting them ready for the new owners and the pool bar is only open from 10 till 2 no food after 1, matagora its self is a lovely place, there are some other lovely hotels and appartments so if i were you, go to another.

When we booked this holiday we had a good deal so not too sure what to expect when we got there - really nice!
didn't have much to do with the staff, they were pleasant and helpful when we did have questions and queries. Very quiet while we were ther which suited us fine, we had a car so would drive around and get back and have a bit of swim in the pool - bit on the cool sde but ok when you got used to it!!!
Lovely apartments - fairly basic but enough for what we wanted, they were cleaned regulary.
You are near the airport but the planes don't bother you
there are plenty of places to eat nearby but nicer to go to the old town for a more authentic canary island meal.
The bars nearby are typical tourist ones but friendly people, reasonable price beer and bit of singing - easy night out!!!!!
would definatley come back to these apartments

Arrived at 8pm, door key under mat as reception closed. Good clean basic apartments at the top of a hill. Taxi from airport to apartments 9 euro. Taxi ride to Puerto Del Carmen 5 euros.
Pool area very quiet and no need to fight for a sunbed. 1 euro charge to hire matress for beds though. 10 minute walk to beach & restaurants. Reception staff extremely unfriendly, had breakfast a few mornings at the pool bar, served without any pleasantries or even a smile.
Matagorda is a very quiet resort. Discovered a beautiful restaurant called Jazz bistro and visited it 3 times in a week. Food was outstanding, top class.
Puerto del Carmen busier for nightlife and restaurants seemed less expensive than in Matagorda.
Lovely beach 8 euro daily for sunbed hire, could be quiet windy at times.

Arrived at 7.00pm and reception was shut, key in an envelope outside apartment, had to phone so lucky we had mobile with us. Apartment v clean, with balcony and patio. Beautiful view in a quiet area. Reception and bar staff not v friendly, but rest of resort was superb.
Would book again, not put off by reception staff.

These were lovely apartments a 15 minute walk from the beach, shops and bars/restaurants. We chose a balcony apartment which meant we also had a sea view which was really nice. We were a 15 minute drive from the airport which meant we could see and hear planes landing when we were outside but the noise didn't disturb us at all. The pool at Las Marinas was smallish but always clean and, for most of our holiday, we had it entirely to ourselves. The rooms were cleaned regularly and we were really pleased with the size of the apartment - it was perfect for a couple. The facilities were adequate for cooking but with so many restaurants close by we usually didnt bother.
The shopping/nightlife/restaurant area was a mixture of tacky souvenir shops, several british bars and a variety of cuisine. This was fine for what we wanted but quite touristy - not somewhere to go to see the traditiional side of the island. However we enjoyed the food, which was reasonably priced and always accompanied by genuinely friendly service. We particularly recommed the sushi restaurant Sapporo. Also, the buses are regular, cheap and air conditioned, so for shopping its worth getting them to Puerto Del Carmen. All in all we really liked the holiday and would recommend the resort to anyone looking for a relaxing beach holiday.

We arived late in the evening and the reception was closed. Luckily we were saved by a large group of ladies fron Newcastle who searched under all the mats until they found our key!!! Apartments were nice and clean. Man on reception had a problem communicating, preferred to say as few words as possible and smiling was completely out of the question! The pool was lovely and everybody else were friendly. A short walk to the beach and a 5 euro taxi ride to the old town where there were beautiful fish restaurants overlooking the sea. Also live music and plenty of bars in that area. Would recommend Las Marinas.
