11 February 2008
We have stayed here several times and knowing the are and many complexes having been going to Pto del carmen for over 25 years, cannot be bettered for wuality, location and service. I was wary of booking with a internet company in the beginning but now have every confidence in Alpharooms, have recommended often to others.

Ideal Base
24 January 2008
January 2008....Excellent apartments..clean, comfortable, spacious, nice big balcony with wrought iron furniture which could be more comfortable, and not much of a view.
Breakfast was superb. Staff are friendly from reception to the cleaning ladies.
Location excellent for both the lively 'strip', and the more traditional harbour area (which has just started a 3yr upgrade project). 5 minutes from the Biosphere shopping centre.
Good value with Alpharooms, local price is 116euros per night for a couple!

EXCELLENT AS USUAL
03 October 2007
We stayed at these apartments last year and found them to be excellent, and this year they've even improved. Lovely breakfast, apartments incredibly clean, very efficient and nice staff. My only complaint would be that not all of the apartments have air-conditioning and that the TV only has three channels in English, all of which are news channels. However, I would thoroughly recommend these apartments.

We absolutely loved this complex it was fabolous, couldnt fault anything the reception staff on arrival were so helpful. A lovely gesture on arrival to ur appartment a bottle of wine and some fresh fruit. One of our party celebrated her birthday while on holiday and when we came back to the appartment after the beach there was a massive birthday cake in a box in the fridge and a lovely letter from management and staff to wish her a happy birthday, thought this was just a lovely gesture (where would you get it) The rooms were spotless clean, towels were changed every day and the towels were fine big towels not like in some places there tiny. Our maid was so pleasant. Our flight was 8am so we were leaving about 5.30am they put on some breky for us b 4 we left (nice gesture again) So overall 10 out of 10 cant wait to go back had a fab holiday !!!!! THANK YOU

Great Location
08 August 2007
We had a great stay in the Fariones Apatments in July 07. Service was excellent from the bar right through to the housekeeping, all staff were very pleasant. Ideal for families poolside was a little cramped but as we had no famiy with us we used the Fariones Hotel Poolside which was great.
Would have no problem recommending these apartments.
I would love to see air conditioning in the rooms as it got very hot although you had a fan in the bedroom its not enough for July/August.

apartments spacious and very clean maid service daily pool area very restricted and the sunbeds were very uncomfortable and in short supply.Breakfast was reasonable but a little repetetive and entertainment was non existent.Satff were very polite at all times but not overly friendly. The big gripe we had was the appts are located on a very steep hill the footpaths were in very bad repair and became quite dangerous when the rains came.

I have stayed in these appertments before .Expetionally clean .Well run Staff very nice .Comfortable rooms Great Pool . Our flight was not untill late in the evening .And we had to vacate the room .But the receptionest let us leave our Bagage secured and have the use of another room for showering after a day relaxing by the pool .Will defnitely stay again I would give it 5*****.Well done guys keep up the good work.The only down side is the sun beds are to short and not very comfortable while lying down wards .No cushions like the other groups hotel . I sugest buy you own Lilo at local supermarket .The loungers are also quite close to each other .

My husband and I stayed at the Apartment Fariones for a week at the start of August. We had a fabulous time. We stayed on the third floor (which is the top floor). We did not have a great view from the balcony but it was very quiet. There was a basket of fruit and a half bottle of wine on arrival with compliments from the hotel (a very nice gesture). The breakfast was fantastic, it is a buffet service with freshly squeezed orange juice and sparkling wine!!!( if you are into it at that hour of the morning.) All the staff were very friendly. The rooms were cleaned daily, however on one occassion we left one of the key cards in the electricity socket and when we returned to our room the maid had taken it away. Not impressed. Our room had a good fan system but even without it there was a fabulous breeze which also kept the room cool in the high temperatures of August. The kitchen had all the utensils that you would need for a holiday including a microwave. The television had the usual english channels, sky news, eurosport, bbc world. The only downside to the hotel that I found was that the evening entertainment was limited and the hotel stopped serving food at 3.30pm in the afternoon which I felt was a bit early. It was also a bit of a rush to get a sunbed in the morning, if you weren't at the pool by 9.30am, it would be very hard to get a sunbed. The location of the hotel was fantastic, out the door and to the right was the old town and to the left was the new town, it couldn't have been better located. Overall we had a fantastic time and will definitely be going back again. PS. I would definitely recommend a visit to the Ranch Texas Park, it is fantastic especially the Parrot show.

Apartments were in a great location between the strip and the old town. It was also 5 minutes walk from the beach. The apartments were spotlessly clean, the staff friendly with a wide choice of food for breakfast. There is also a security gate on the complex with 24 hour CCTV. I would highly recommend it and will probably go back there in the future

Excellent accomodation, we arrived approx mid-day and were able to check-in immediately. Requested a top floor apartment with air-con (not all apartments have air-con)and were given one. Breakfast is very very good, selection of cereals, fruit, breads, pastries, juices(+sparkling wine/cava), cold meats and bacon/sausage/beans/mushrooms/fried, boiled and scrambled eggs/potatoes. Room was cleaned and towels changed every day. We used towels from reception (12 Euro deposit/towel) and also spent a few afternoons at the beach/pool of Fariones Hotel which had cushions on their sunbeds - the sunbeds at the Apartments Fariones did not, and were a little uncomfortable while laying on your front! We booked independently using Alpharooms, Thomsonfly.com for the flights and AutoReisen for car hire and reckon we saved £££'s compared to brochure package. We would recommend these apartments to anyone, especially if you want to meet some Irish Holidaymakers - it seemed 80% of people staying there were Irish! Location is also very good between old and new parts of PDC, a taxi from apartments to the Casino was 2.5 Euro.

Outstanding apartments. High quality fittings, linen, towels etc. Incredible breki...... delicious freshly squeezed orange juice and as much as you want!Service with a smile. A bit tight around the pool as regards lying out but we were not using that faciliy. Best 3*** accommodation we have come across-every bit as good as 4****.

The fariones apts are a very good base for families, and couples alike, They are ideally suited for people who prefer to be close to the attractions but far enough away from the noise at night, The apts are situated close to the main strip in del carmen and only 5 mins walk to the harbour in the old town, It is very good value for money and the breakfasts were everything you need to set you up for the day, We were told about this propertyy by friends and will return again in the summer

Review of 'APARTMENT FARIONES'
11 October 2005
This was the second stay at the apartment Fariones (Oct 06) and it was as good as before with one plus, we had Aircon this time around. (Not all rooms have aircon)
The cleanliness of the apartment was good and enough space for the two of us; if you wish to cook then two electric rings and a microwave are provided.
The location of the apartments is ideal for beach (5min), Old and New towns (15 & 5 min, note a 30-40 minute stroll will get you to the far end of the New). The walk to the Old part does involve some minor hills but there is a good selection of restaurants with many overlooking the sea.
The breakfast could get a little conjested but we also had the added problem that they started work building on the patio area which had to be cordoned off and they had to move the outside eating area into some of the sunbathing area. This then had an effect on the available space to sunbathe.(No warning of this work prior to arrival)
All that aside the little touches the Apartments provide, free fruit and wine on first day and the overall friendliness of the staff I would recommend this apartment to others.

Travelled 4.08.05 for 2 weeks. Apartments were spacious and very clean. Lacked air conditioning but was provided with extra fan within 30mins of asking. Staff of the highest quality. Location excellent, good for the old and new town but on a steep incline so if you have trouble getting around might not be such a good idea. 5mins walk to the beach. Would highly recommend it.

I have to say that I never bother with these things. However these aartments are one of the best I have been to. The service was second to none. Even when they make a mistake they turn it into a positive. Would recommend to anyone, Howhever is on a rather large hill if you have trouble getting around.Great place though.

Excellent apartment, attractive, clean pool with plenty of loungers. Good, central position close to the old harbour and main shopping street. Not noisy. Parking is on road at back of hotel. Good selection for breakfast although seating can be a slight problem after 9.00 am. unless you wish to eat on the paved area overlooking the pool. Helpful, friendly staff. We and others visit this hotel year after year. No known problems.
