Mr

Really enjoyed our stay in El Cotillo. The apartment was clean and spacious...right next to the beach with all amenaties you could want. Unfortunately the terrace dosent get sunshine until late afternoon so in winter the terrace can be cool for morning coffee. Marco the agent was very helpful and cconsiderate. Really enjoyed our break in this fabilous location .

Great Location in El Cotillo

This is a large one bedroomed apartment looking out onto the first lagoon beach in El Cotillo. This is a sunny and prime location, absolute beachfront, but with easy walking distance to the centre and harbour with numerous restaurants, bars, cafes etc., unfortunately there is now a lot of building work going on in this once small and pretty fishing village, but hey, they say that is progress. Whether for the best remains to be seen! However, ongoing works did not unduly disturb us in this beach location with fantastic views up the coastal lagoons and of course, the setting sun. A great location which we can thoroughly recommend to others. Thanks to the owners and the local contact for a truly wonderful holiday.

Comfortable well equipped apartment in a quiet seaside town.

The apartment is in a very new complex on the sea front. It is well equipped for a short or long stay. I found the bed very comfortable and slept well. The outside areas of a small terrace with table and the much larger roof terrace with seating and sun loungers are excellent. The roof terrace has views of the pool ansd a partial sea view. It of course has all day sunshine. Entertainment is by two televisons with a vast range of channels. The pool in the complex is very good and well maintained. A short walk to several beaches. My favourite was the lagoons where the sea is calm and wonderful for swimming. El Cotillo has several good supermarkets and a vast range of dining options. Having stayed in many apartments and villas in various Canary Islands over the last 20+ years I can say this has been one of the very best and may visit again.
