Caybeach Papagayos

The first thing I should say is if I could have given a 3.5 rating then I would have as while I wouldn’t rate the hotel as a 4 it probably deserves more than a 3 rating so I’ll try to lists the pros and cons in my review which hopefully goes some way to explain this. The hotel was very clean and the bedrooms had plenty of cupboard space and a safe which was 1.80 euros per day and a 9 euro deposit. The kitchen also had plenty of cupboard space and enough utensils, plates, glasses etc for 2 to 4 people. There was a kettle, fridge, microwave, coffee machine, toaster and a 2 ring electric hob which was enough for our requirements which was breakfast and a sandwich at lunchtime. We ate out on the evenings. There is a large pool and large pool area which again was very clean and getting sunbeds was no trouble at all. This is also a good point to start laying out the things that were not so good for us. Whilst the sunbeds were plentiful they had seen better days and finding one that clicked in to place when raising or lowering the backrest was a challenge. This meant that every time you tried to move on the sunbeds the back flipped up. The other gripe about the pool area was the lack of a bar. There is one but it’s shut and there is no vending machine meaning that there are no snacks available or indeed just a cool drink without heading to your room. Back to the rooms, the sofa bed in the living room had seen better days and indeed the bottom stuck out as it didn’t shut properly. This wasn’t a problem for us but may be for anyone who had a third person staying in the room. The bath and shower were our main issue though. The shower screen had a gap under it and the shower was very powerful which meant the hand towels were used to mop the floor after each shower. The shower head was a 1980’s off white plastic type and the spray wasn’t adjustable. Finally the location was a bit out of the way but we knew that when we booked. There is a small commercial centre about 5 mins away with a Hyper Dino Express that stocked everything we needed. There are a few bars and restaurants which were all very friendly but all closed at least one night per week. Alfie’s Bar and Kitchen, Paulos’s Sport Bar and Las Colarados are all recommended and very friendly. The Marina Rubicon is a 25 min walk away and was much livelier with plenty of shops,bars and restaurants. Finally there is a bus service that runs every half an hour from the front of the hotel which take you to the Marina and into Playa Blanca itself which seemed very popular.

We are both pensioners and had a lovely ten days, can't fault it.There is a bus stop directly outside to wherever you want to go,we caught it most days mainly for Harbour or Marina,nice long promenade with loads of bars and restaurants, taking around ten minutes, for a couple of Euros.
