Caybeach Papagayos

Stayed here sept 2024 absolutely loved it we have booked again for September 2025. Apartments spacious and clean,if you want a quiet relaxing holiday I would highly recommend.We had a ground floor apartment near the pool just ticked all the boxes.Supermarket and few bars 5mins away. Me and my other half use to walk to marina plenty of restaurants and bars.Staff at Caybeach were magnificent and friendly couldn’t have asked for anything better.Only downside there is no bar (this is not a complaint) supermarket 5 mins. If you want a quiet relaxing holiday trust me this hotel is a must. Ps I don’t usually write reviews but this hotel deserves one

Beautiful clean peaceful hotel, does lack in a small bar/coffee area when spending the day at the pool but nothing you can’t get over being self catering. Rooms are very clean with good free air con in the living area and bedroom, towels replaced if you want them every day except Sunday and Thursday but reception staff are lovely and accommodating so if you need anything they are very helpful. No English TV Chanel’s if you like to watch TV but wifi in the room good so you could easily use a tablet or phone. Pool again is very clean and never any issues with beds or umbrellas and definitely no saving beds early with towels which is always a bonus. Supermarket 4/5mins walk along with some small bars and restaurants Taxi to the marina or the main town €4/5 or the bus stop is directly outside the hotel and it’s only 3/4 stops, quick and €1.40 pp. We would get the bus out then taxi home.

The first thing I should say is if I could have given a 3.5 rating then I would have as while I wouldn’t rate the hotel as a 4 it probably deserves more than a 3 rating so I’ll try to lists the pros and cons in my review which hopefully goes some way to explain this. The hotel was very clean and the bedrooms had plenty of cupboard space and a safe which was 1.80 euros per day and a 9 euro deposit. The kitchen also had plenty of cupboard space and enough utensils, plates, glasses etc for 2 to 4 people. There was a kettle, fridge, microwave, coffee machine, toaster and a 2 ring electric hob which was enough for our requirements which was breakfast and a sandwich at lunchtime. We ate out on the evenings. There is a large pool and large pool area which again was very clean and getting sunbeds was no trouble at all. This is also a good point to start laying out the things that were not so good for us. Whilst the sunbeds were plentiful they had seen better days and finding one that clicked in to place when raising or lowering the backrest was a challenge. This meant that every time you tried to move on the sunbeds the back flipped up. The other gripe about the pool area was the lack of a bar. There is one but it’s shut and there is no vending machine meaning that there are no snacks available or indeed just a cool drink without heading to your room. Back to the rooms, the sofa bed in the living room had seen better days and indeed the bottom stuck out as it didn’t shut properly. This wasn’t a problem for us but may be for anyone who had a third person staying in the room. The bath and shower were our main issue though. The shower screen had a gap under it and the shower was very powerful which meant the hand towels were used to mop the floor after each shower. The shower head was a 1980’s off white plastic type and the spray wasn’t adjustable. Finally the location was a bit out of the way but we knew that when we booked. There is a small commercial centre about 5 mins away with a Hyper Dino Express that stocked everything we needed. There are a few bars and restaurants which were all very friendly but all closed at least one night per week. Alfie’s Bar and Kitchen, Paulos’s Sport Bar and Las Colarados are all recommended and very friendly. The Marina Rubicon is a 25 min walk away and was much livelier with plenty of shops,bars and restaurants. Finally there is a bus service that runs every half an hour from the front of the hotel which take you to the Marina and into Playa Blanca itself which seemed very popular.
