Sabbia Suites Sea View La Playita

Location was great (apart from the bar below which was a little noisy one evening of the 5 we stayed). We liked Puerto del Carmen a lot. We loved the direct view out to the sea, and with a small beach just across the road. Kitchen well-equipped. Great to have two keys too.

The electricity cut out twice (not ideal when you’re in the shower in a bathroom in the hours of darkness!) - the first was corrected when the agent sent an engineer who turned everything off and on again at the fuse box, and I just copied what he had done the second time. The agents are looking at the problem so hopefully solved by the time you read this. We struggled with the WiFi network and password - this can easily be correct with a note of the network & password being in the apartment (our confusion was caused by there being 3 routers in the apartment and we didn’t notice the active one. I think the obsolete two have now been removed, but this wasted a lot of time, I feel the communication from the managing agents could have been much better. We were not given the access code until a minute or two after the check-in time, leaving me to wonder if we would actual get it at all - better communication of the process would have set expectations and removed the stress…or, better still, tell guests what the code will be in advance and say that it won’t be active until the agreed arrival time (I like to start the journey to a holiday destination with all the info required to access accommodation, this removes stress and helps to make a holiday enjoyable). Hairdryer not working.

Parking outside is challenging

The cleaning in the kitchen was not as i would have expected and WiFi problems. There is also a bar downstairs which I was unaware of and at times the apartment smelt of cooking smells from the restaurants below. The air-conditioning was also tuned off at the fuse board for some reason. Given that 2 of the bedrooms have no way of letting fresh air in as the windows open onto a covered utility area I found this to be a bit cheeky in my opinion.

Fantastic location, wonderful sea view, very spacious

Apartment could be easier to locate, nothing on the entrance indicated it was Sabbia Suites

Roomy. Two bathrooms with three bedrooms. Nice balcony with excellent sea view. Great location.
