Apartamentos LIVVO Coloradamar

Stayed here last year for a cheeky week me and the hubby, returned this year with the 19 year old in tow... Great having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Whilst the pool area is quiet (there haven't times when there have literally been just us 3!) It's perfect for chilling out.. if you want some loud music put your headphones in...alternatively lay back and enjoy the peace n quiet. We had apartment 30 which comes with a designated ball bed at the pool - a great room for literally just nipping in and oit of whilst round the pool. Cleaning 5 out of 7 and whilst reception is only open 9 til 3 the staff are super helpful. The tennis courts are worth a go too! Supermarket is 2 mins away, at least 3 lovely restaurants within 2 mins walk and less tha n €5 in a taxi down to the marina or 30 min walk.

My wife and I stayed for 9 nights and had a lovely relaxing break. We stayed in the Deluxe apartment with a sea view (room 21). The apartments are very spacious and the terrace is the best we've ever had. A sea view is a bit of a stretch, you can see the sea but barely! We found the beds comfortable enough and the shower are excellent. All the staff on reception are very helpful and friendly and the cleaners also do a great job and were very nice. The whole complex is very quiet and peaceful and there was never a problem getting sunbeds around the pool. There is a gym which was also good but it was very hot in there even with the fans on! There was also a library on site that my wife loved! A 2 minute walk from the complex you'll find a supermarket (a bit on the expensive side) and a couple of bars/restaurants. We were a little disappointed with the choice there. The Marina is around a 20 minute walk, which is a beautiful walk. It can take around 40 mins into Playa Blanca. There is the #30 bus right outside the complex that is very cheap and takes you into Playa Blanca. A taxi is around €7. Overall the apartment was everything we had hoped for. The only issue we had is the distance to Playa Blanca but as I said there is ways to get there and back but next time we'd probably look for something more central.

We arrived with no issues from the airport and jumped into a taxi straight away. The check in process was easy, provided with a code for our apartment and had the contact details of the staff if assistance was required. The apartment was beautiful, two large double bedrooms, two spacious bathrooms and a lounge area. The apartment was cleaned regularly and new towels provided. The outside of the apartment was very spacious with outside seating and to top it off a jacuzzi and BBQ. The pool area was clean and tidy, the pool offered large pool, toddler took and jacuzzi. Most days there wasn't anyone in the pool and you don't have sun bed wars which is a plus! There is no bar or restaurant on site, we just grabbed essentials from the local shop and took drinks down to the pool in a cool bag. You can call for a taxi to get around or jump on the number 30 bus. You can walk 5 minutes down the road where you will find your nearest hyperdino store, restaurants and bars. If you walk 10 minutes in the other direction you will come across an Indian. We did walk to the marina on two occasions but it was far with two children, we caught a taxi back. The marina market runs on a Wednesday and Saturday. We visited flemimgo beach which was our favourite beach within the area. I would definitely stay again, especially for a relaxing holiday.

Lovely spacious apartment on a quiet complex, exactly as others have described. Didn’t believe we’d have 2 full bathrooms but there really are! (all apartments are the same). The only reason we didn’t give 5 stars was because our balcony (at back, front opened onto pool) was directly beside the road, overlooked by passing traffic and the shopping centre opposite. It’s a pity there couldn’t be a low fence (on top of the wall) to give a little more privacy. Despite being on the road, and next to the pool, the sound insulation (and A/C) was great so we weren’t disturbed. Overall great accommodation.

Can’t fault the complex. We had a 2 bed, 2 bathroom bungalow. Was spotless and cleaned 5 days out of 7. Nice outside area with table and chairs to eat if you so wish plus a couple of sun loungers. Pool area was immaculate. Hardly anyone there when we went. Opens 9am till 6pm. Plenty of sun beds. It was heated when we arrived (only between Nov and End of may)… tad cold but once you got in and swam a length it was fine! Valentina works in reception 9-2 daily. She was fantastic. So friendly and welcoming and gave lots of ideas and honest feedback on where to go or not. Weather was 25-28c. It is cloudy in the mornings usually which blows over. Can be windy. The heat and sun goes on later so we were up on the room sunbeds until 7.30pm most nights, with a glass of wine and nibbles. It’s a 4-5 minute walk to a supermarket to get the basics and a few bars and restaurants. There is a bus stop outside the complex main entrance. You get the number 30 and it goes in a loop around Playa Blanca for 1 euro 40 per person. To leave the complex, the buses run at quarter past and quarter too, every hour. On the return leg, they run at 0’clock and half past…. And they are reliable. It’s a 25 minute walk to the marina and about 40 minutes to a decent beach. The main high street area is about 1 hour walk…. Or 15 minutes on the bus! In Playa Blanca, there is a market in the marina every weds and Sat. The main shopping street has your usual supermarkets, duty free places etc. do not bother with the Rubicón shopping centre… complete rubbish. If you go to the port, you can catch a ferry to Fuertaventura. They go every hour near enough for about 38 euros each and takes approx 35 minutes to cross the sea. Correlajo is the port you come into. Some nice restaurants but it is small and you can walk the place in a good 3-4 hours. So many different types of supermarket. Best one is either the superdino near the main bus terminal or the Spar on the main high street. Both have a good selection of fresh meat and fish counter. If you want really good fish, go down to the port and there is a fish shop open until 1pm… check out the langoustines which are bigger than your hand! There is every choice of food options available to you here. We don’t go British when on holiday. The places we went and recommend are: Furancho do Tono- 4 mins walk from complex next to the small supermarket. Try the octopus, the languostines and pork cheeks… went here twice Le Petit Jardin- in the marina. French. We had the best steak we’ve ever had here Buenos Aires Grill- above Le Petit. Had a mixed bbq grill of different meats and sausages Citurna- literally 3 mins walk up the hill from the complex. A tad expensive but the food was quality. Latin and sushi infusion influence La Taberna- tapas. The rabbit stew was great. We had about 6 dishes in total and it was priced reasonably well. There was one more tapas place above Le Petit which I can’t remember. The taps here was better than La Taberna.
