Apartamentos Miranda

We stayed 9 days and, in general, the place is very good; Few apartments, very quiet and fantastic surroundings and views. The apartment, very spacious and well equipped, the beds and pillows, surprisingly comfortable as they usually are in hotels. The bathroom has shower gel and hand soap. The kitchen has all kinds of kitchenware and dishwasher. Also, at first, there were very few channels on the TV, but we told reception and they solved it for us. What we did miss was a microwave, very useful for heating something quickly without having to turn on the stove, and to our surprise, there was no freezer. The wifi, okay, it's free, but it fails a lot, so they could put repeaters in the apartments. Cleanliness was terrible; Of the 9 days we stayed, they only came on one to clean and change sheets and towels. If you wanted more change of towel you had to notify the reception (which is only open in the morning, from Monday to Saturday), and you had to take the garbage yourself to the nearest container. It is true that there is no cafeteria, bar or anything like that, in case you would like to have a drink. In reality it is somewhat removed from everything; ideal to rest and disconnect, but you have to travel for everything.

We stayed here for a long weekend tour of the Island. A great location as it’s less than 10 minutes from the Airport. We didn’t hear any planes nearby as it’s a fairly small quiet airport anyway. It has everything you need, plenty of parking, pool area, nicely kept garden/grounds and a well equipped Kitchen for cooking your meals. We were in a top floor apartment. The view was perfect and the area is so quiet. The main living area is nice and big and opens out onto a nice wide balcony with table and chairs. Lots of light in the room. We would definitely stay here again. When we arrived our room wasn’t quite ready. However they let us into the room so we could get changed into our shorts and T-shirt’s. We just left our cases in the wardrobe for later and headed out for the afternoon. When you find the apartments the driveway is very steep downhill. It feels like your going the wrong way. Just follow it down left and the car park is at the bottom.

Found these apartments by filtering by 4* or better on the Love Holidays website. Superb apartments, located a hilly twenty minutes walk from the the village of San Pedro, about the same distance from the nearest large supermarket and about a 15 minute drive from the island's capital, Santa Cruz. The apartments are situated in beautifully landscaped tropical gardens and have views from the balcony over the coast and from the front over the mountains. Although relatively basic, the apartments contain everything needed for a self-catering break. Our apartment had two very comfortable single beds, which were next to each other, and in the same room as an eating and sitting area. Importantly, the kitchenette was in a completely separate room, which meant that we did not have to sleep with the smells, and of course grease, of our cooking. The kitchen was well-enough equipped for us to cook our own meals from scratch every night, although it would have benefit ted from a microwave or oven. The apartment was completed by a well-designed shower room, which, unfortunately, only seemed to deliver hot water at night. Communication with Jens, the owner, was superb, before, during and after our holiday. One important note is that reception is only open from 9:00 until 14:00 on weekdays and Saturdays. If you plan to arrive outside these times contact Jens via the apartments' website to arrange for collection of keys. Would certainly put these apartments at the top of our list if we return to La palma.
