Beachfront Bungalow Cotillo Lagos

the apartment is very well positioned: right on the beach front; about 500m from the bakery and small supermarket and just over 1km to some good restaurants. It is well equipped with a good fridge/freezer and a combination microwave as well as a washing machine.

When we arrived at 18:00 we found that the apartment had not been cleaned following the previous letting, with milk in the fridge nearly 2 weeks past it’s date, not the start you want to a holiday. It took 30 mins before the very apologetic owner replied to my WhatsApp message, during which time I had tried to phone them several times. When the cleaners did arrive, at about 18:45 they didn’t have a duvet (just a cover); a bath mat; tea towels; covers for the sofa or wraps. We only knew that these items were missing when the owner agreed to a free ‘mid let’ clean and linen change a week into our holiday and the cleaners brought those items with them. We were there for two weeks and were expected to wash and dry sheets and towels in a day as there were no spare sheets or towels

Been right on the beach and not far aways from shops and restaurants

- five star location directly at the beach (more of a natural swimming pool with shallow water, perfect for children) - view from terrace - fully equipped apartment - new furniture and bathroom - well equipped kitchen - very comfy sofa - quiet (if the neighbours are) - very clean - very nice contact with attentive host - shops and restaurants in the town centre within easy walking distance - free parking available

To be honest there isn‘t much and definitely nothing that would keep us from coming back to this nice place. But to mention something: - no privacy on the terrace which you share with your next door neighbours (they have their own part of the terrace, but there is only a low fence with gate between them) - depending on the other guests there can be a lot of party noise and especially noise from big groups of children playing until late at night - the internet didn‘t work and the mobile signal can be erratic and slow - the bed is rather on the soft side while I personally prefer harder mattresses
