Las Gaviotas Resort

Linda the owner was wonderful. She made us feel really welcome. She helped us book a boat trip, and she made each breakfast feel like a personalised service. On check in she immediately organised an extra bed for our 3rd child (most hotels can't be bothered). She recommended some good things to do in La Paz. The rooms were big and comfortable with all the kitchen facilities you could need and breakfast was good. All the staff were friendly. The location is great, just a 1-minute walk from the main seafront and all the restaurants.

We enjoyed our stay, but a few things could have improved it from a great stay to a superb stay. The room cleaning was a little sub-par. It looked like the apartment could do with a really good spring clean. For example, there was mould behind both of the bathroom sinks, and on the sink plugs, and if we went bare feet in the apartment we would have black soles within 5 minutes. One time my sons nappy (diaper) leaked a little overnight, so we left the sheets pulled back so they would be changed, but the maid just put them back on. The next day we had to throw them on the floor to get them changed. A few times we left the shower mat on the floor to be changed because it was dripping wet (the shower was so powerful it squirted out of the shower curtain onto the shower floor) and instead of replacing it, the shower mat disappeared. We also had a puddle in the bathroom from the shower that was not mopped up in 5 days. On the one time we saw the maid clean the room, she spent less than 10 minutes in the 2-bed apartment which is probably not enough to give it a thorough clean.
