We visited this hotel in Christmas holidays when coming from Germany we looked for some quiet and sunny place to relax. This hotel is a part of a larger complex named Bahia Calma which includes 4 hotels. In the following I will discuss the pros and cons of this hotel from my own perspective: Pros: - very close (almost 200m) to a nice calm beach and a small shopping center including pubs, supermarket, cosmetics, clothing, cafeteria and restaurants - internet connection included in the price (the hotel I booked the last year provided connection for 5 euros per day per device and the connection was very bad). We could receive signal only in some parts of our flat and the server was down for more than one day during our stay. But the speed was fair enough for watching youtube videos and making skype calls. - receptionists could speak fluent English and German. Cons: - most of the flats receive limited or even no sunshine during the day - the swimming pool is located in another hotel and was 100m far from our flat and included no WC, jacuzzi, etc. - like many other hotels on the island, the hot water can be an issue, because you can only have a few minutes (3-5) of warm water in the shower and also there is no bathtub as expected. - we received no housekeeping for the first three days of our stay and when we called one of the housekeepers for some service she was complaining that she had a list of flats for service excluding ours. On the later days, we received decent services. - the beds did not live up to our expectation and there was no heating to keep the flat warm during the night though it was not that cold In conclusion, please read all the reviews and do not rely on the overall rating. I used an online booking service where this hotel was rated 83% which I believe is optimistic.

“Very Basic hotel not for the English!”

Very Basic hotel #022! bedroom window did not lock properly but did have bars on, a bit dated with colour n awful bed frames (I don't even think they where beds) shower door was hard to close, toilet system sometimes didn't work had to keep screwing button to flush, toilet seat was always slipping,… Plus

Very Basic hotel #022! bedroom window did not lock properly but did have bars on, a bit dated with colour n awful bed frames (I don't even think they where beds) shower door was hard to close, toilet system sometimes didn't work had to keep screwing button to flush, toilet seat was always slipping, toaster was cracked in a few places, fridge door for milk was all cracked & ready to drop, no kettle (we boiled water) nice balcony tho 😃mix & match patio set, fly door was broken but thank God not many mosquitos, cleaner came every other day which was great, the pool was absolutely beautiful 10/10. Costa Calma itself was not very big but absolutely gorgeous beaches🏊 including the nudist beach 🙈 we spoke to NO English they were all Germans (some very rude) so we hired a car & went to the other end of the island Corallejo 😃 so much better than costa calma more shops,restaurants, bars, people & also nice beaches, we had a lush holiday just what we needed but would not go back to Costa Calma resort or Casa Catalina hotel we woukd do the other end of the island Corallejo 😃.

“February in the apartment was FREEZING!!”

I am sure that IF it had been the summer and hot this apartment complex would have been great.. these apartments were built to keep the heat out and they did just that in February.. it was freezing at night time and even with three extra blankets and our beach towels including everything we owned that was warm we managed to get to sleep. Apartments clean and everything that is needed of a self catering holiday. Lovely pool and sunbeds. Really local for local restaurants and Spar supermarket with the beach just a short walk down the hill. Very comfortable beds and very clean linen. The most important thing being was that we had a hire car from the airport and drove to Costa Calma, the dual carriageway is very efficient and clear signage to get anywhere on the island. When entering Costa Calma you need to look for URBANISACIAN BAHIA CALMA and that is where you find the small sign for the apartments just along the PUNTA MOLINILLOS 2 MINS FROM THE SPAR SUPERMARKET. Car parking for the apartments in the Caleta Mansa. Fantastic place to kick back, relax and enjoy
