Having previously always done all inclusive holidays, we wanted something different and less repetitive, as now both retired we wished to stay for longer. So, having read the excellent reviews, we chose Buendia. Check-in was very easy . Everyone at the welcome loft was very friendly. Information regarding the weekly cleaning, emptying of bins , towel changes, etc. was given and in connecting to the WiFi.. We had upgraded to an apartment with a poolside terrace, which, as we were staying for 4 weeks, proved to be very spacious. The kitchenette had everything we required, including a dishwasher. There is no oven, but the microwave is a combination one. If I were to make a suggestion for improvement, a set of instructions as to how to use it to its full capabilities would be very handy. There were instructions for the hob. The WiFi was really good, certain areas better than others, but a connection ws available in most areas. Upstairs, there are 2 bedrooms, 1 with a huge, very comfortable bed, the second has bunks. There is a ceiling fan in the main room, but nothing in the second. Made no difference to us, but I would imagine at the height of summer it would be very warm. Opening the windows creates a breeze, but it could be fairly noisy on occasions. Everything was clean and inviting. The staff always seen wiping something down, both inside and out. We had included breakfast in our stay, which was thoroughly enjoyable , full English, omelettes cooked to order, and a cold buffet. Yet again , friendly staff. The pool is heated, though still a tad cold. Sunbeds were always available. The most comfortable sunbeds I've ever lain on, though they are low to the ground. There are, however, double ones surrounded by water, and these are higher. No loud music round the pool, so a very chilled atmosphere, very relaxing. All the staff are very approachable, everyone speaks as they pass by, it felt very homely. Location is excellent! It's in the old town, and yes, there is some building work being carried out, as it's in a residential area, but you really do not here any noise and it has an excellent supermarket 5 mins away, a couple of restaurants close by, and it's only a 10 minute walk to all the bars and restaurants . So close enough for everything to be in walking distance. To sum up, it is an excellent place to unwind and recharge the batteries. But close by many bars ,restaurants, and shops including designer ones.We have already booked for the same time next year. Thank you, Buendia, for an amazing time. We await our return!
