My family and I enjoyed a 9 day stay at Westhaven Bay Hotel. Our experience reveals a mix of positive and negative aspects that I wish to share through a comprehensive review, and rate at the level it deserves. Let's start with the POSITIVES: - The apartments, spacious and fully equipped, offer great value for money. - Nestled in the charming 'Costa del Silencio,' the hotel's location near the water and a short 15-minute walk from a small beach is a true highlight. - The swimming pool, coupled with a decent restaurant, creates a pleasant haven for relaxation. Now, there are also some significant DRAWBACKS to consider, especially the last one that I give details about: - The summer heat transforms the apartments into uncomfortably warm spaces, leaving my wife, son, and me struggling for restful sleep. Surprisingly, there's no provision for borrowing or renting fans to alleviate the situation. - The beds comfort leaves somewhat to be desired, whether it's the couch or the top-floor bed. Despite the apartments' overall new appearance, the quality of furnishings sometimes falls short. We even encountered a two-day inconvenience when a lock issue blocked our front door, forcing us to use the back entrance. - The initial promise of 'free parking' (on ***********) is somewhat misleading. The limited parking spaces relative to the number of guests led to an unexpected financial burden, the STORY of which I'll recount below. STORY of parking issue : Spoiler, our parking misadventure ultimately ends with our car being towed by 'La Grua' resulting in an unforeseen total expense of 124 euros. This happened on a specific evening when legal parking spaces were scarce by 6PM. After searching, we resorted to parking in front of the residential area entrance, though illegally, with my car-sick five-year-old son in the car. My intention was to relocate the car after dinner when non-residents using the pool area would have departed. Regrettably, the car was towed before 10PM... The context behind this situation is intriguing: The hotel owner's son's wedding celebration was happening that day at the swimming pool. This celebration not only diminished the pool's accessibility but also occupied a significant portion of the parking area, almost 20%. With my car inadvertently blocking some guest vehicles parked within the residence, the hotel owner orchestrated the intervention of police and towing services. While admitting my bad parking, I couldn't help but see a fundamental conflict of interest. Prioritizing a personal event, the wedding, over the comfort of paying guests (clients to the business)
