Apartamentos Don Miguel

Amazing place reccomend, pool very quiet for august and me and my family had a good week here at don miguel and it is a very budget friendly place!

For us, this hasn’t got the ‘wow’ factor. The whole complex is really clean and well maintained. The apartments are in 2 blocks, one of them being over the road. The buildings are 3 storeys high. There are no lifts, with steep flights of stairs to the upper apartments. If you have mobility problems, it would advisable to mention it, as there appears to be a limited number of ground floor apartments. I didn’t advise that I have problems walking up stairs and was allocated a first floor apartment. I advised that I couldn’t walk up the stairs and was told that they only a a limited number of ground floor apartments. We were lucky to be given a ground floor apartment. Also, there is no disabled access to the swimming pool and as the area around the pool is quite narrow (and sun beds take up most if the space available) it’s not easy to walk around. The apartment we were given was ok. It was very clean. I wouldn’t say it was comfortable. We had a table and four chairs. A very high sofa bed, of which was too high and hard to sit on. We had a kettle and a toaster, but as there were no sockets around the cooking area. There was an extension multi plug adapter. The microwave was on top of the fridge freezer and was really awkward to use. The apartment had single beds, which couldn’t be pushed together, as the headboards were attached to the wall. There are no safes in the actual apartments. These are allocated at the reception. The bathroom was good. It had lots of space to put your toiletries and there was plenty of hot water. You have to request a change of towels. We were not given any information on how to get clean towels, so I took the used towels to the reception The receptionist seemed less than pleased. I changed the towels twice and I still don’t know the correct way! We had to watch the number of appliances, that we used when we cooked. On one occasion, when the electric tripped, we couldn’t reset it ourselves and I had to go to reception to reset it. The receptionist knew which room it was before I told him and he had to go into a backroom to deal. The reception isn’t 24 hours. I’m not sure what we would have done if it had been closed. There are shops nearby. We found them to be really expensive. There is a large Eroski Center, a 15 minute walk along the Ma222 road. If you use the bus service, it’s a lot cheaper to Tap Off/Tap On using your bank card, otherwise it’s €4.50 per person, per journey.
