Booked a package holiday as a last minute get away from it all. Didn't really know what to expect and can only say that I was really pleased. Los Pueblos is a lovely place to stay with friendly staff (esp the night porter who would let us in after a night on the town, he was a very chatty guy) We had a lovely apartment with plenty of room, we did share it with a few mosquitos but I had a flip flop that saw their lives cut short. The location is close to the old town which was stunning. Lovely food and a nice chilled out atmosphere. If we did fancy a night out with a bit more noise we would head into the new town which was still nearby.

The only thing that I would have liked at Los Pueblos would have been fresh bed linen. We were only there a week but fresh bedding would have made the stay perfect.

Just returned from Los Pueblos. We got flights hotel for £404 for 2 of us via going places.
Good day flights arrived at hotel and very pleasant. Was allocated room 522 had large balcony and very private. We has a locked garden area and was at end of complex but suited us for the privacy when sunbathing.

Hotel very clean maid changed towels every other day. Went down by pool each day , other visitors mainly Irish or form Liverpool area. Very friendly staff at bar nice.

Eat in harbour restaurants mostl nights , great choice of restaurants and good prices.Try the seafood. Also behind hotel try Mario's great food and good prices.
Complex quite at night and great for couples or families. Best rooms are starting with 5 numbers as they have the best views.
Would go back tomorrow

we stayed in these apartments in room 319 in late march/early april for 15 nights.
now let me tell you, this is a real review from real everyday people who want a cheap and chearfull holiday, just like you!
well, as we pulled up to the complex we thought it looked too good for what we had paid, although after carrying heavy cases down two flights and then up another we arrived at our room.
not too bad for size but very basic, it almost reminded us of something from the seventies.
anyway, like i said, we only wanted a base to sleep that was secure and clean. although we would have cooked if we had the basic tools like dishes and a two ring hob that both were working!! anyway, no cockroaches were seen, only a small family of ants which were the very small no trouble types.
after looking round we noticed we had a great view of the sea and part view of the very cold pool(only the one pool), which i only noticed used a couple of times, maybe due to the lack of sun the first week we were there (very unusual)we were offered a safe at a cost of about 30 pound our money a week, a tv at about 5 pound a night and a fan at some other rediculous price, we declined as the security is very good(camera on reception door and night watch man).
its a good ten mins walk down hill to the port which is great for trips ect, on the walk down stop at a little cafe bar called tipsys for great food and drink from a proper yorkshire guy called steve! also from the apartments a two min walk to a nice little place down the slope to montana tropical, a little area with a great british bar called british bull dog., if you want a good bit of nightlife or a good beach you need to go to playa grande, its about 25 min walk or 3 euro in a taxi, its a massive strip of beach on one side and clubs and pubs and shops on the other.
to sum it up, puerto del carmen is great for everyone apart from the less mobile, the apartments were not great, oh yeah, our bed sheets were never changed in 15 nights!! but if you can get a cheap deal and like us just want a safe place to stay its a bit over priced in the complex but theres plenty to do and see in puerto del carmen.

Just spent an excellent week at Los Pueblos and would definitely return this time of year, 2 adults and 3 young children - I was a little apprehensive after having booked and then reading the reviews but my fears came to nothing. Large appartment, 2 floors, 2 bathrooms/ balconies with sea views - yes it could have been more exquisite but for 2 stars all we wanted was a base with friendly staff and that's what we got. Bar and reception staff absolutely went out of their way to make it a good holiday.
No oven or microwave - 2 rings. toaster and kettle and taps that seemed impossible to turn at first - if your happy to do most of your eating out or at the bar (and it's cheap enough - 3 euros buys a kids meal that's adequate for 2 of them) then you'll be fine, Do try Marios right facing the back of the hotel - we didn't try this gem until the last night - 50 euros bought 2 good courses and a bottle of wine & soft drinks for the 5 of us - best cuisine I had all week. Also highly recommend the Volcano tour and the futuerventura boat cruise - excellent days out - you'll need your sea legs for the choppy ride back though. We'll definitely return - something for everyone, nice quiet hotel but 10 minutes from the main strip on foot if you want it. Chilly evenings though - take a fleece for after sundown, despite that we've all got golden tans from the comfortable sun every day.
