Perfect 3 weeks in August
Review Submitted: November 13, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
My teenage godson and I (66) spent 3 weeks in August in the 1st floor , 1 bedroom Skol apartment. The location is superb, I could just sit on my balcony and watch the sea, the beach and all the people strolling on the promenade. I loved the mature garden with wonderful, well cared for flowers, plants and giant old palm trees. The best thing is the beach-level "adult only" pool, where I always could enjoy 1 hour of peaceful swimming in the evening, nearly by myself in the huge olympic size pool. My godson enjoyed the proximity to the nightlife, where I could watch him stroll on the promenade from my balcony. We both sampled and enjoyed all the restaurants around Skol and I particularly loved to sit in the vast shady park across Arias Maldonado and go to the theater there for the best authentic flamenco show I have ever seen! The appartment itself was very clean, adequately furnished, although very tiny. The whole building is very old and shows it (rusty balcony rails, popcorn painting inside and outside , cracks in the walls and above all , in this appartment a waterfall from the outside AC unit, which came down on the balcony every time we shut off the AC, also the corridors seem very dark and dingy with their green felt-carpets, but hey, what do you want, you are in Paradise!) I am using a mobility scooter and what I did not like was the impossibility to get a key for the handicapped exit right in my building, in spite of many attempts. The exit with a scooter from the main entrance is somewhat difficult and I always had to wait for some kind stranger to hold the door open for me. I would return to Skol anytime!

Owner's Response: We were very pleased to welcome linda to the Skol apartments. We have over 30 different apartments to rent in the Skol to suit single guests, couples and families. The location has to be one of the best, if not the best in Marbella for a great value for money rental.
