Bahia Blanca

Just arrived home after 10 nights in 2 adjacent apartments.

For us, these apartments were brilliant. Very roomy, full kitchen with large fridge with a freezer box, washing machine, microwave and full size oven.
The terrace was large and had a great view out to sea.

I think we had 3 room cleans during our time which was fine for an apartment, we just washed the towels ourselves if needed.

To stay here you do have to have no mobility issues as it’s on a hill. Our room was on the 5 floor with partial access via the funicular. Many times this was busy and is slow so we walked to the room. From the pool to our terrace was 176 steps so be warned, even from the funicular if you used it there was still 40 steps.

Now thats out of the way I would recommend the hotel and we will return. The rooms are great, the pool is a good size and generally there’s plenty of sunbeds, however there’s always families who reserve way more than they need just in case one of the kids wants to sit down for 5 minutes. If you get to the pool by 9.30 you should be ok for a couple of beds.

We never ate there but that was our choice rather than anything good or bad.

For us the location was perfect, 500m in either direction was Puerto Rico beach or amadores beach with all the restaurants there. Close by is also the europa centre but that is a horrible uphill walk as we found out once and only once! Get a taxi there and stumble back down the slope later.

A few bits of info that may help anyone else going, any prices rounded up.
Taxi to Mogan mall was €6, Europa centre was €4
Anfi was €8, Puerto Mogan was €18. The expensive one was palmitos park which was €42. We caught the bus back from Palmitos to Puerto Rico which was €14 for 4 of us.

There are buses to Palmitos but there’s lots of stops and quite often standing room or no room!

It’s worth speaking to the bloke at the europa centre, stews excursions as he runs a coach to Palmitos a couple of times a week, we didn’t use him just because the days he went clashed with other plans we had. Next time I would use him.

We ate out in Puerto Rico, amadores and Europa centre, there’s plenty of choice but no recommendations from me as each to their own on food. We never had a bad meal.

Only slight grip for us was we had an evening flight with pick up at 6pm but could only have got a late check out until 1pm at €10 euros an hour for each hour after 10am. You can use the facilities for the day but the shower/toilets by the side of the pool is the only place to get changed and these floors get very wet during the day. Not a major deal in the end for us as we spent the last day exploring Puerto Mogan.

All in all a good stay.

The hotel is located in a quiet part of Puerto Rico and only a short 10-20 minutes walk to the busy city centre. A taxi back home from the centre doesn't cost more than 5 Euro so no need to walk back with a lot of things to carry as there is a tough climb walking back. We used bus number 91 from the airport to Puero Rico centre and a taxi to the hotel. Do not walk with suitcases. As I said above, it is a tough walk. The flat had a double bed in the bedroom and a sofabed in the living room. We never understood the bed arrangements/linen system so person number 3, who slept in the living room, had not the same sleeping quality as the two in the bedroom. OK bathroom. Lovely terrasse with 2 beds and 2 chairs and a table. Extremely useful. We used it all the time. A lovely pool with a nice bar and Steve was a fantastic guy who took very good care of everyone. A unique guy. Thank you for giving us a great stay. Breakfast was ok but stay away from the dinner. The dinner buffet is not worth the money. Better to eat at some of the great restaurants in Puerto Rico. But all in all, very good value for money.

Apartamento limpio, con aire acondicionado, terraza grande con hamacas y sombrilla, que es de agradecer.
Salón amplio.
Personal del bar y restaurante muy amables.

Las vistas y la habitación

La limpieza, el personal de limpieza además muy amable cuando le veías en las zonas comunes. Maravilloso.

El apartamento estaba limpio, reformado y muy bien equipado.
No había que pelear para disfrutar de una tumbona, había sitio para todos.

Мы отдыхали в Bahía Blanca 14 дней, и остались очень довольны своим выбором.

Отель уютный, с прекрасной атмосферой и очень доброжелательным персоналом. Особенно хочется отметить ресторан. Меню действительно разнообразное: каждый день большой выбор мясных, рыбных и овощных блюд, свежих фруктов, десертов и закусок. За две недели еда не надоела ни разу — всё было вкусно и качественно.

Отдельная благодарность Михаилу, который работает на баре. Очень приятный, доброжелательный и отзывчивый человек. Он говорит по-русски, всегда встречает гостей с улыбкой, с удовольствием помогает советом и может подсказать, какие места на острове обязательно стоит посетить. Благодаря его рекомендациям наше путешествие стало ещё интереснее.

Мы брали автомобиль напрокат и за несколько дней объехали практически всю Гран-Канарию — побывали в живописных горах, на пляжах, в небольших городках и увидели невероятно красивые места. После насыщенных поездок было особенно приятно возвращаться в Bahía Blanca, где всегда царит уютная и спокойная атмосфера.

Спасибо всей команде отеля за прекрасный отдых! Мы с удовольствием вернёмся сюда снова и будем рекомендовать Bahía Blanca своим друзьям и знакомым.
