The apartments are part of the Sol Elite La Palma complex and are located behind the hotel on a pedestrian 'street'. The apartments are good quality, with large balconies overlooking the street on which they are located. Between the apartments and the hotel there is a swimming pool with some chairs, but it's not very attractive or picturesque. That's why most sunlovers go to the other swimming pool in front of the hotel, which is located on top of a rocky outcrop above the ocean. Views from here are beautiful, either to the black lava beach and the town of Puerto Naos to the north or to the rocky coast to the south of the hotel. The ocean can be rough sometimes, with spectacular waves crushing onto the black lava rocks.
The hotel has some entertainment programmes, with movies and a few low-key sports activities. Most clients staying in winter are senior citizens from Germany, who come here for hiking and resting (and enjoying the winter sunshine).
It's a short walk (200 metres) along the beach to the small town of Puerto Naos, which has a short boulevard and a few restaurants. For lunch there is a nice snack bar with terrace, overlooking the beach; the food there is quite good.
Puerto Naos is located in one of the sunniest and warmest parts of La Palma, so it's one of the best places to stay in winter. Even if there are clouds in the mountains, it might still be sunny and warm here. From here you can drive all over this beautiful volcanic island. Just be aware that it's all mountains, there is no flat piece of ground to be found anywhere. Don't forget to visit Mirador El Time, a spectacular viewpoint with a coffee bar.
