Complejo Cumana by Placida Mar

Please please do not take any notice of the old reviews given on this site. Head over to *********** to read more recent reviews. Cumana apartments were bought a few years ago, renovated and are absolutely stunning. Jesus owns the one we stayed in (No. 16). It’s a beautiful apartment just above the beautiful swimming pool and sun loungers. You’ll have a private large terrace with table and 6 chairs, 2 Sun loungers with mattresses and two other loungers plus extra seating. A large parasol and a retractable canopy for shade too. The other apartments are either rented or owned privately and kept to a very high standard. Also outside there is a private washing machine/tumble dryer for your sole use and handy large airers. There’s a stunning new kitchen with all amenities, a large fridge freezer, oven, microwave, toaster, sandwich maker and all the utensils you’ll need. The lounge has a comfortable sofa and a tv. The lounge and two bedrooms are air conditioned with new and extremely effective units. One modern bathroom with loads of towels and both bedrooms have loads of hanging and wardrobe space. The apartment was clean and fresh and Jesus can’t do enough to make your stay wonderful. He’ll even pick you up from the airport and drop you off. You can hear a little noise from the Commercial Cente but as soon as you close the patio doors you can’t hear a thing. It’s a hilly 5-10 minute stroll to many shops, restaurants and bars. I use a walking stick and was absolutely fine. A good 20 minute walk to the beach so we walked there and got a taxi back. Most taxi rides are under €5, drivers are friendly and knowledgeable and speak English. Restaurants to visit; Torro Bravo (40 min walk) to near harbour or €4.15 in a taxi. The best restaurant around and Eddie, Jose, John and the team will give you a warm welcome and the food is excellent. Christina’s in the Commercial Centre is quintessentially Spanish and she’s a lovely friendly lady. 5-7 minute walk from apartments. We will definitely stay again. Everything has been perfect.
