I normally stay at the Brisa Sol, but they were booked solid at this time. So, I got a cheap deal and stayed at the Cerro Branco. I can only say pretty much the same as the other reviewers - the apartments are large (bigger than you'd get at Brisa Sol) - small kitchen, dining area, living room (with settee... more

We were allocated a ground floor flat., which was rather shabby and musty smelling ,with poor security, as the balcony is open to the general walkway.

The pool looked great, but it was early April & a bit too... more

A lovely facility, very favourably priced and terrific staff. Enjoyed a week-long stay at the apartments in Ocotober and would recommend them highly. Gorgeous pool, easy walking distance to the terrific lower-town centre and nightlife and a most enjoyable restaurant/bar overlooking the pool.
