Apartamentos THe Las Gaviotas

Close to bars and restaurants and a short walk to the beach.

Quiet, spacious bungalows. Small pool, perfect for us

Ants in t he sitting room area and kitchen overall average

Great location. Had to PAY for internet, even then, that only allowed two devices! My wife and I each have a tablet but I also have an iPod for internet radio which I need to help me sleep.

The first room was a so called superior one but it had single glazing and was right under the flight path and also a bit grubby so they moved me to block 8 and the room had an infestation of cockroaches it was really awful!! They were jumping on me!!!! The maintenance guy who en brutally came was shocked ! so I had to move again! It was exhausting the next room had a broken phone so I couldn’t get hold of reception and no hairdryer but was much nicer ! Block 8 is a long way from reception and restaurant . I still have nightmares about all those cockroaches and the hotel never even apologised or gave me anything in way of a sorry they weren’t bothered!!

Disappointed in efficiency/courtesy of receptionist during our stay. No running water during nights/early morning. No working landline phone in bungalow which was reported but undealt with. Cleaner was very helpful and efficient. Very clean bungalow. Internet charge excessive. Safe charge excessive.

the only problem is we had a late flight home and we wanted the apartment up until 4pm and they wanted to charge us for an extra night the full asking price ithink if you have a late flight home you should be able to have the room until at least 4pm.

We had a lovely stay here. It's a quick journey from the Airport, 5-10 minutes by taxi or bus. The apartments are lovely and clean, a nice clean pool, a very quiet area. The breakfast buffet is of a good quality. There is the noise of the planes as the airport is close, but that's a blessing and a curse if you're after a short stay, being close to the airport reduces those travel times considerably. The windows and doors on the apartment are of a good quality so you won't hear the planes on the inside of the apartment, in fact we slept incredibly well. On the outside, you get used to the planes and it becomes a background noise you get used to, it was at no point offensive .. and I am someone prone to noise irritation. On the downside, the local area is very .. British. Lots of restaurants aimed at tourists, lots and lots of British everything .. which perhaps isn't the worst thing in the world when I'm British myself, but if you're looking for more of a Spanish experience, to indulge in Spanish culture and cuisine, then this perhaps is not the best place for you, and be prepared for smoking, smoking and more smoking. But the bus stop is nearby, and if you're brave enough to hop on and travel to pastures further afield, this really would be a great base for you. Public transport and taxis are cheap. If you're happy to stay by the pool, or on the patio of your apartment, and enjoy the sun, then I'd recommend highly.

Fabulous stay in Matagorda. The Gaviotas bungalows are spacious and have great outdoor space. Half board option worked well for us; we especially enjoyed the breakfast buffet which had a great choice.

Near beach Very s pacious Staff very friendly and helpful Breakfast each morning very good
