Quick hotel review

When I was trying to decide what hotel to book this year, I found when I searched for hotels on this site people's feedback on where they stayed was very helpful, so I've jotted down a few points about the hotels myself and my friends stayed in this year, so hopefully it will help people in the future 8)

Hotel Maritimo - this is where I stayed in June. It is a pretty basic hotel, the rooms are pretty clean and tidy, but they are quite small, there was just enough room for two people to live comfortably. There is no fridge, so if you're going in a very hot month, be warned you wont have anywhere to keep water or juice cool, which can be annoying.
The main thing I want to point out about this hotel is that there are rooms with two types of balcony. One type of room looks out onto Figuretas beach, gorgeous views. The other type looks into a hotel stairwell, which as you can imagine is not what you want to be looking at all week! We had a room looking onto the stairwell, and it really did spoil our holiday, there was no fresh air coming in, and we couldnt sit out on our balcony because all you can see is a big wall in front of you :evil: I'd make sure you get a room with a sea view if you are planning on spending time in your room on on your balcony.
Other than that, the maid comes every day after you leave the room, which is good as you never get woken up by them wanting to clean!

Apartmentos Tropical Gardens - A friend stayed here and we were impressed by the apartments, they had 3 single beds, a kitchenette and a pretty big bathroom. Perfect for 3 people to stay in. The balcony had a nice view over the pool, and the rooms were clean and tidy.
They are quite family orientated though so if you're a group of 10 beer loving lads then maybe not for you :lol:

Playa Sol 2 - Most impressed with these apartments. They're small and basic, but clean and in a great location, right at the end of PDB, but near enough to walk down to BoraBora. Nice little pool at the back, with a path that leads down onto the beach.
The room our friends stayed in had a great view overlooking the beach, the air con was really good (sometimes too cold!!), and they had their own seperate bedroom and lounge.
The apartments were really cheap to book, and our friends said they'd stay there again tomorrow, they were that impressed!
