General Comments
Puerto de la Cruz, Apartments Casablanca - Large, clean, sunny and well-equipped apartments in this large complex are highly recommendable. The complex is set halfway up a very steep hill which would be problematic for anyone with limited mobility. The beach is about 10-15 minutes walk so if your holiday is primarily a beach-oriented one then avoid this place. The staff were nice. The parking for hire cars is extremely reasonable at only 2 euros for 24 hours. The pool is too small for this vast complex. Again, if you're looking for a pool-based holiday, avoid. The flats were very well-equipped and there are two excellent supermarkets within walking distance (but bear in mind that hill!) The best restaurants are in the centre which is about a 20 minute walk away. Taxis are cheap and plentiful however. Nearer at hand are touristy establishments offering the usual bland international fodder if that is what you want. However, there is one exception 'El mojo cilantro' looks like the other tourist dives but the food was good and the service friendly. This was the best self-catering experience I have had for ages. I've only rated the food as one star as there is no 'not applicable' option. We didn't eat at the apartments though there is a restaurant. The only real downside to this holiday was the British tour rep!
