Review title: "Santa Rosa"
Travel date: May 2008
My husband celebrated his 70th birthday in this complex along with our two children, son in law and two grand daughters. We had two one bedroom apartments and a two bedroomed apartment, but we went there as we are holiday property bond owners.

We really cannot fault the site. Everyone so friendly. The pools were delightful and a lovely setting. We were not keen on the restaurant on site, but you only had to go through the hotel doors and there were an abundance of eating places to the right of the building, from traditional British food to tapas restaurants. Absolutely delightful, I would most definitely go there again.

Only 20 minutes from airport and even travelling from the UK at seven in the morning, we were at the pool by midday. Tremendous. We went at the start of their summer season which was first week in May so it was not overcrowded and everyone was so very friendly. My son is looking to return to the Santa Rosa at the end of the year.

Review title: "Excellent Location, Clean Modern Complex"
Travel date: October 2007
I booked these apartments only three days before my holiday (11th-18th October) and was delighted with the accommodation, particularly for the cheap price I had paid.
I must say I was very impressed with the Santa Rosa complex and would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

They are situated a 15 minute walk to central Costa Teguise. However, you can walk on the main road, a cut through a residential area or along the sea front.

I had a one bedroom apartment which I found to be clean, although basic. I would recommend you take more coat hangers with you and also a kettle as one is not provided, although you can hire kettles, toasters and fans at reception area. There are no fans or air conditioning, so I would imagine it would be extremely hot in the high season. There was a television that had four English channels, a fridge, microwave, hob and all kitchen utensils.

I was on a self catering basis so cannot comment on food, although people I spoke to said it was very basic and there was no ambience in the dining room. There are many restaurants and places to eat/drink a couple of minutes away, so I would recommend you do that instead.

The pool was large and not too deep, which is great, if like me, you cannot swim out of your depth. There is also a small pool for children.

The entertainment was a disappointment. They did advertise bingo, dancing, karaoke, although the numbers were few and far between. I spent my evenings at the four star hotel opposite (Corona Playas). This was excellent and again would recommend this for those of you whom prefer hotels.

The weather was very hot whilst there - 27-28 degrees. There is a slight wind, but you definitely don't need to pack jumpers or anything like that.

I had booked this last minute and not expected much at all. I was very pleasantly surprised both with Costa Teguise and the Santa Rosa Apartments.
