Bahia Kontiki Apartments 3 stars

The Bahia Kontiki Apartments are located in the heart of Puerto del Carmen, allowing guests to enjoy the fun and excitement in this popular resort.

The beach is just a few minute's walk from the complex, where there is an abundance of water sports to enjoy such as windsurfing, water skiing, banana boats and guests can join the local scuba diving school, to work towards a PADI certificate, which is recognised around the world.

Also on the beach are many sun loungers, so if the water sports are not your thing, why not just relax in the sun, and just watch from a distance.

In the lobby area, there is a 24-hour reception desk that is available to offer an array of services including currency exchange, luggage storage and courtesy shower room for guests returning home on a late night flight, concierge service, and a tour desk to offer tourist information and the sale of excursion tickets.

Also on site, there is an internet corner and a self-service laundry room with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The uniquely shaped outdoor swimming pool is set within the beautiful gardens with lots of Mediterranean trees and bushes, giving lovely areas of shade, and surrounding the pool is the large sun terrace filled with sun loungers with parasols.

Next to the pool is the poolside bar for refreshments and many snacks and light lunches, as well as many snacks and treats for the children. These can be enjoyed on the beautiful terrace, whilst watching the stunning wildlife up high in the trees.

The hotel has a glorious buffet restaurant with a different variety of delicious dishes to try each day, and the regular show cooking and themed nights always go down well with the guests.

Guests can then move on to the bar area, where guests can enjoy the music and the many locally produced alcoholic drinks, as well as ones from the cocktail menu and maybe a friendly game of pool or table tennis to get acquainted with some of the other guests.

If you are looking for a change of scenery, why not take a short walk into the resort centre, where you will be spoilt for choice with the many bars, restaurants and also the many shops and shopping centres that are open until late.

The apartments are spacious with splashes of bright colours throughout. Each apartment has a living area with a coffee table, satellite TV, sofa bed, kitchen with a fridge, telephone, chargeable safe, private bathroom and a lovely furnished balcony or terrace with views of the pool, gardens and some have the added bonus of views of the ocean.
