Great spot for couples and/or families
Review Submitted: February 17, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2007
We loved our stay at Jardines de Casares. The apartment itself is really well kitted out, with all the home luxuries, dishwasher, washing machine, etc., which makes a self catering holiday so much more enjoyable.
The children (3 & 5 years) had a fantastic time. The pools in the complex provided endless hours of fun. There were also many nearby beaches and playgrounds to add some variety.
Many of the Costa-del-sol attractions are within easy reach. We bought tickets to all three Selwoo parks (Safari, Waterworld and Telefonica) - this is very economical as the three tickets are only a fraction more than a single ticket. The Safari was our favourite - we spent the whole day there - there was so much to do: the BIG truck rides were really fun; the children particularly loved the walk back along the string bridges, and also the snake show! It is a good idea to bring your own packed lunches, as some restaurants in the park were closed - this will give you more flexibility. At the same location as the Telefonica you will find the Tivoli theme park (Disney type shows, rollercoasters, etc) - check out the opening hours before you go as they can vary from month to month.
As adults we also loved the holiday as there was a wide choice of great restaurants, scenic drives and historic cities to visit. Casares itself - a white village perched high in the mountains is really worth visiting - it is only a short drive from the apartment. Puerto de la Duquesa worked well for evening meals and a few relaxed evening drinks (with or without the children). We also took a day to visit Gibraltar - our advice is to go early in the morning as there can be quite a queue at the border. There are also many other interesting cities to visit - all within reach by car.
We would recommend this holiday to any family or also couples and of course those who are interested in Golf!
Owner's Response: Delighted that the family enjoyed their holiday and availed of many trips locally.
