Aguamar Apartamentos, Los Cristianos Downtown

Hotel is very average and there are much better. The rooms are tired and worn out, kitchens damaged and old, bathrooms the same. Food is dire, smallest selection I have seen and very minimal choice and only warm if it’s just been put out, also no pudding only tinned fruit and ice cream, sometimes a cake cut into a thousand tiny pieces if you’re lucky. Also the first hotel I’ve been to where the cleaners have Wednesday and Thursday off so no service on those days, sofa bed is like lying in a bag of bones and no entertainment and no bar when the pool closes. Pool area is nice and you can usually get a sunbed although you have to pay for umbrella and sunbed cushions (nobody has them). Quite noisy from early in the morning so don’t expect a lie in.

We checked in at 3pm and the service at reception was polite quick and with all the information that we needed. Also a very quirky area to sit and chill... We booked a two bedroom apartment and was allocated 420 which was a corner room. When we got in the room the first bedroom was a double and the second room was a twin both with great wardrobe space ,Full bathroom and the living area had a single sofa with a pull out bed with 4 chairs around a big table the kitchen had all that was needed to do a self catering holiday. The balcony had a table with 4 chairs and a view of the pool overlooking some of Los Cristianos. Cleanded everyday and beds were comfortable and were giving loads of towels and toliet paper and if you needed anything Reception will help you. The roof terrace is a cracking suntrap overlooking the Funchal strip. The pool area is lovely and spacious this opens at 10am with beds put out then you do pay for a Matress nut the beds on the roof terrace were so more comfortable. The pool bar was ample and the outside and indoor toilets were also clean. I really think this is a fantastic 3 star central location. I recived a bottle of cava on my birthday which was a lovely suprise and very welcoming. The accomodation is opp the Funcal strip with bars and a great Fish and Chippy open till 11pm but i loved the outside terrace were closed at 11pm so it was a quiet hotel at night.. 10 min walk to the church.. 5 min walk from the bus station and about 15 to the main beach. We walked for miles in this area and loved that Los Cris has so many places to eat on your doorstop ... Do not look at the bad reviews as this place really was very very good
