La Santa Cruz Resort

Particularly appreciated the central heating as so many apartments in Spain are cold in winter.

I messaged the property well ahead of time with (a) our arrival time and (b) a question as to whether a late checkout was possible. Booking.com forwarded my message to the property but I never received a response. We arrived precisely when we said we would but had to telephone and then wait about 15 minutes out in the street (next to a planter bed chock-full of cat poo) for the woman who looks after the apartments to turn up and admit us. (Same thing happened last year, which is why we gave a specific arrival time this year, but doing that obviously makes no difference). We asked her about the late checkout and she said oh yes, that would be fine and we could stay there till 4:00. However, on the last morning she came around to tell us we must leave at 1:00 after all as they needed the room, so we had to cancel our plans and dash around getting ready to leave. (Had we known ahead of time that late checkout wasn't possible we would simply have booked an extra night.)
