Arenal d'en Castell Vacation Packages

So, this apartment does what it says on the tin: cheap, cheerful, good location. The apartment was clean and nicely presented. The shower was good! However, it lacked basics- for example, it had precisely 2 forks, 2 wine glasses etc and didn’t have a chopping board (other than a tiny slate you could just about chop a lime on). It did not have an oven, only a hob. For self-catering, I expect to be able to cook a couple of evenings of my holidays- it was barely possible in this apartment. The pool area was, frankly, pretty gross. Some of the sunbeds were broken, others were filthy. There were cigarette ends rolling about everywhere. The pool & surrounding area was not cleaned the whole time we were there (one week). There were broken, filthy drains which were cracked and sting up as a hazard around pool area. It’s a shame because this could be a great place to stay, with just a few tweaks and some decent maintenance. As others have said, no aircon. Fine in Oct but I’m not sure I’d cope in the summer.

Good spot.

Nicely located self catering apartment in Cala Galdana. 10 min walk to the beach, but it is a steep walk. Overall the area was quiet and peaceful as you’re away from the centre, but still nearby to restaurants and shops. Kitchen could be better equipped considering we were there for week, but we managed fine. Also we felt that the property could be cleaner on arrival. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and the accommodation worked well for us.
