After reading a few of the reports on here - we were dreading the hotel. We booked a last minute holiday and did not expect much after looking on here.

When we arrived - the hotel looked fine from outside.
Got to our room and it slept 6 and there were 2 adults and 1 infant. So we were really pleased about this.

The room was clean, however we did hunt for a few cockroaches and found none all holiday.

The patio area was a little disappointing and was full of cig ends from the apartment above.

There were little white spiders (very tiny) all on the work top all the time - but this was the only complaint we had and we did not eat in the room anyway. Even after getting rid of them day and night they still came back.

The pool was freezing but the pool area was kept tidy, but the music was a little loud for our child and we had to go out of the way if we wanted to get him to sleep.

I would go back as it was ok for a last minute hol and not much money - would not like to think spent lots of money as not brilliant but what do you expect for a 2 star.

Paraiso del sol appartments.
Me and 5 other mates arrived on the island and were taken to our appartments via coaches. Other peoples hotels looked nice and we didnt know what our hotel looked like... when we arrived there was two sides, the main side, looked ok- normal and the other side just looked like a prison block!

Turns out that we got split up, 3 on each side. i was on the prison side! but to be fair it wasn't actually like a prison, it was ok. There was a big fence round the appartments with locked gates, so u need a key to get in or out so i thought that was good for security reasons.

The room was VERY basic. Two gas hobs, fridge, kettle and a sink- thats the kitchen. But we didn't pay loads so i cant really complain! It suited us well, some where to store our stuff, wash and sleep! what more do you need?

The pool was good, it was actually pretty empty over on this side, the other side was ram packed!!! so over all the room suited us all very well and was kept clean by the cleaners, good job! only thing was that there were cockroaches, many cockroaches and they fly!

When my girlfriend and i arrived at the paraiso del sol apts, i thought "ok,could be worse", and to be honest they actually could have been. we stayed in the the second block opposite from the main complex, it was quiet pretty much all of the time, it was perfect for just chilling out and relaxing before the next big drinking binge, and getting blocked!

4 fellas i used to go to school with, were in the same block as us and their apt was a joke (5D), cupboards falling off, toilet broken, gas hob broken nobs, back-door not locking right, cockroaches-loads of them,toliet door wouldnt lock and their sofa was broken. now they had a really grumpy russian bloke above them, now dont get me wrong russian people are quite decent enought people, but this man was seriously grumpy and had an attitude problem. on the 6th day, he had made 8 pages worth of complaints about them, now on the first night they were noisy, cant defend them there, but the other nights we were all quiet. the hotel states that you are to make no noise in your apts after 1am, which is understandable, but this fella upstairs, was shouting at us over the balcony, at, wait for it, 8pm. so anyone who is going there, i just hope you dont get an idiot like that that above/beside you.

when i first arrived at the paraiso, i couldnt help but laugh, it looked cheap and run down, and generally very out of place compared to some of the other appartments we had seen. The rooms were extremely basic, and quite small. However, they were very clean, and were in an extremely good location. it is a 5 minute walk to the main strip, which is very ideal considering we were all on a budget! this meant that if we were to stumble home in the early hours of the morning drunk and dissordaly, it wouldnt take us very long to reach the appartments!

On the second day we decided to do some sunbathing by the pool, the pool area was very clean and comforting, i especially enjoyed the music that was being played by the pool as well. It was the sort of music that teenagers would listen to, it wasnt very ideal for families.

The place in itself wasnt ideal for families, it suited a party goers lifestyle, reps were on hand to offer drinking excursions, and were there to ensure that young party goers enjoyed their stay.

The people i met at the hotel were very nice and polite, which also made my stay more enjoyable. Overall i would say that the hotels location is its best advantage, and that the hotel is ideal for young groups of friends

After reading precious reviews I was a bit concerned but I neednt have worried. The room was spotless and the maids were in just about every day. The pool has had a facelift and looks fine.
Only had 1 cockroach in the room all week (plus a very small lizard)
The room walls are paper thin so hope that you are next to a noisy neighbour (we werent).
When we arrived we noticed that there were loads of empty sunbeds by the pool even though the apartments were full. After a couple of days it beacame obvious why, the music played through a massive speaker by the pool was way too loud and you could hardly hear yourself speak. I complained but it didnt do any good so we voted with our feet and spent our days by the nearby beach. Water in the pool nice and warm and not too much chlorine.

Whilst serving our sentence at this place we were robbed three times by the cleaning staff, twice when we were still in the apartment and the third when they left the door open all day when we were out on a trip. They stole my most precious piece of jewellery when I was in the shower and I will never get over it.

The hotel manger knew who it was and when tackled about it she just laughed at him and said prove it, they stole my mobile phone and on one occasion they were taunting us by saying our names and those of people who had text us, this place is a hell hole and should be avoided at all costs.

It is one of the better hotels I have visited. In my opion I would give it a 5 out of ten as it was lacking in some places. I haved visted this hotel many times and it just keeps getting better.

The rooms in this appartment block vary tremendously. We had a small room with pull down beds whilst our neighbours had two bedrooms. They are very basic but clean. The Paraiso could benefit from a facelift especially the pool which had black sides and paint peeling off. Theft in the apartments were rife. One person had their safety deposit box stolen. Supermarkets near by and a 5 - 10 minute stroll to the beach and nightlife

The apartment was quite large and clean, the only complaint was the bunk beds in the childrens room which squeaked everytime one of my children even moved slightly. But told reception and they sorted them out that same day.

The staff were friendly apart from one who worked behind the bar. They had music playing by the pool everyday which is fine until somebody put on a cd with very graphic lyrics so because I had my children with me I complained and the response that I got was as if he could not see what the problem was.

The pool area ok but the bottom of the pool was a bit tatty looking. The entertainment was ok nothing really exciting but didnt really expect much as we were staying out of season. Generally not a bad place for what we paid for the holiday
