Isla Del Aire Apartments

1 reader found this review helpful

A very quiet and pleasantly situated complex. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. We went with friends and were allocated adjoining one bedroom apartments(there are 2 bedroom ones but we didn't see them). The rooms were clean and well furnished. The kichen was a bit basic with a kettle, fridge, toaster, microwave and two hob ceramic hotplate (but the pans were too large to use both at once!). However, by using the hobs in both apartments, we were able to provide evening meals for 6 people as often as we needed. Kitchen utensils were fine, but, as in all self catering situations, take your favourite tools and adornments in your cargo luggage! There is a snack bar next to reception but that's what it is - a small convenient snack bar. Punta Prima beach is a short stroll away and there are several excellent eating places on the front.
All the rooms have poolside views and the well established gardens provide plenty of colour and greenery. The pools themselves are clean and child friendly. There are plenty of sunbeds but few parasols and people, especially with small children, may need to provide their own.
It is a 3 keys - not 3 stars - establishment and Spanish. The maid service is limited and sheets and towels are changed twice a week. You wiil be expected to make your own beds( to lie in!) and sweep out your own rubbish!
Evenings are quiet but there is entertainment provided over the road at the Lighthouse tapas bar. You should sleep peacefully and as long as you want to!
Punta Prima and the surrounding area is very Spanish- but Inglesi friendly- and picturesque - don't be expecting Veronica's or San Antonio - or even Los Dolfines - because you will be disappointed.
But Isla De L'Aire is an 'easy' place to stay. You - and your kids -will make friends there. One couple we met were on their 12th visit and many others said they would go back.
We had one hiccup at the end of the holidays when our return taxi was delayed by the festival at Sant Llouis and we were panicking. The lovely lady on reception chased them up and allayed our fears. All in all - a very enjoyable holiday.
