PVCP Hotels in Blanes

Arrived at 1am and had to do a 10 minute walk to Hotel Horitzo which we already knew about. We met a lovely receptionist that sorted out our keys, took our tax payment and did the E200 authorisation on the card. When we we back to the appartments the vending machine had barely any stock and every thing was shut. The sofa bed was not made up, so wearily we climbed into bed after making it. The matress was so thin that the bars from the sofa pushed through and I was in pain and barely slept. In the morning we awoke to a massive stench of drains, the spare pillows did not have pillow cases and there was BLOOD spatters on the curtains. I went back to reception to complain. Another lovely receptionist moved us up to the 8th floor, this time there was no smell, a clean apartment and a comfortable sofa bed. The manager popped in to see us which was a nice touch. I showed him the balcany as the glass divider was cracked and he already knew about it. I did some shopping and we settled in. But there was a big ***** of the kitchen unit missing, no hot water and only one bath towel. Also when I tried to plug the kettle in the base was all melted - really dangerous. Finally I discovered the hob did not work! Not great for self catering I went back to reception in the other hotel (there was no reception at all in the apartment block - just an empty office). They replaced the kettle, towel and fixed the water. But the did not fix the hob and had no spare apartments to move us to, and was very apologetic about it. I filled in the online survey asking for a free meal as I could not cook anything and I was ignored. The area where the apartment block is on the beach, near the caravan parks and is about 15-20 walk (all flat) into the main town. There is a very expensive little supermarket nearby and a bar. But lots of closed bars and restaurants, it was like a ghost town. It maybe because it was April and things werent open yet? The views from every apartment face the sea and they are spectacular. There is a little playground and a couple of nice restaurants about 5 minutes away. Although the staff were genuinely lovely, it was painful to keep trapsing down everytime I discovered a problem. I wouldnt return to these apartments, but may consider staying at the hotel puely based on how nice the staff were? Note: the E200 deposit was back in thr bank account the day after returning.

First the good stuff...... The room was great, clean with a great balcony for beach watching and view. The walk in shower was the best I have ever had, great water pressure from all 4 outlets overhead, horizontal top shoulders, hand washer and horizontal for the lower regions........ Staff all very helpful. Now for the bad bits....... Air conditioning was iffy but did work..... No extractor fan in the bathroom which you would think was necessary for a 4 star rating? Breakfasts were good large selection but if you are like me and like a good Irish breakfast you will be disappointed..... The toaster does not toast your bread no matter what settings you use so you end up with warm bread after putting it through 4 or 5 times....... then you go to get your breakfast.... the only plates are side plates 6 inch diameter and ice cold so by the time you get to eat your breakfast every thing is cold..... ridiculous.... try fitting an Irish breakfast on a side plate???? We had lunch only once in our weeks stay and it was very poor would not recommend.
