Beautiful beach
Review Submitted: August 28, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
Hi, the apartment was clean and well maintained. We squeezed 5 people in, very cosy. It is a 10 minute walk to an amazing beach, beautiful golden sand and so large that it never appeared crowded. It is without a doubt the best feature of the location and our holiday. Swimming pool was good, but if you have young children, be warned there is no shallow end. All the Spainish children wore arm bands/body floats. Is open from midday until 8 p.m. which is unusual to the English, but the norm in this part of Spain. It is very quiet before midday.
There are bars and restaurants within a couple of minutes of the apartment. Similar prices to home. If you want a good meal (run by American's) there is an Italian restaurant, newly opened in the Commercial Centre. It is on the upper level. There are many other restaurants/bars about a 20 minute walk away.
We had glorious weather every day, but it was August.
If you want a holiday where you can just relax and do very little, it is ideal. We were only there a week. If you want to book trips; whale watching, horse riding, Seville etc there is a little office in the Commercial Centre and the manager speaks fluent English.
You are unlikely to meet any other English people, as this is where the Spanish take their holidays from the cities. We only met one English person, who owned another of the apartments. We enjoyed trying to work out Spanish menus/signs etc. If you have any problems you can always ring Fay, who was very helpful, (she looks after apartment).
If you fly with Ryanair, because they have cut their flights to one a day and you don't depart to the evening, you could find yourselves, as we did, out of your apartment at 10.00 a.m. as the next people renting weren't English. Clearly, this is out of Alan's hands and Fay has to clean the apratment, but it is a bit of an early start for a 20.30hr flight home.
Thanks for your help Alan.
