2nd trip to this property
Review Submitted: July 5, 2008

I am just back from 2 fantastic weeks in Asif's apartment. The weather was great, the apartment was perfect. I was there with my wife, but there is certainly room enough for 4 or 5 adults. The apartment is a "traditional" spanish holiday apartment, 2 bedrooms, tiled floors throughout, satellite tv, small but well equipped kitchen (inc washing machine) with a very large balcony. The balcony only has sun until about 1pm, but I was sunbathing on it most mornings from 8.30! The apartment is situated in a block, which is in a complex of 7 other blocks but these blocks are well spaced out & surround the pool & gardens. This means the apartment is very private. The gardens are very nice & well maintaned & the pool is about 20m long. The apartment is situated in a quiet area just outside Torrevieja, but within 10 minutes walk there are a fair few pubs & restaurants. A new 'Irish' pub has opened which has dancing. The beach is a 15 min walk, but is down a steep hill, so be prepared for a climb on the way back. Parking is available & 2 beds & a parasol cost €10 per day. Buses to Torrevieja are regular & cost €1 but I would recommend car hire. Torrevieja itself is a very different resort. It is very much a town rather than a 'Benidorm' type of holiday resort, but it has loads of pubs & restaurants. If you like seafood you will love it. There is a lively market every night at the seafront & nice promenade walks. You must also visit the 'museo de mar y sal' in the harbour which comprises at the moment of a submarine & coastguard boat. Entry is free & you are given guided tours of both vessels. This attraction is to further expand in the future. We made many trips in the last 2 years, but I would recommend a trip to Cartagena & La Manga is worth a visit too. Overall we loved it & if you are looking holiday in a place which is not full of British pubs this is for you.

More importantly that they are happy to come back year after year.
We look forward to developing more and more regular customers in the future.
