A WONDERFUL HOME FROM HOME HOLIDAY!
Review Submitted: February 13, 2009

From start to finish this was a totally pleasurable experience - I have nothing but praise for the customer service regarding the booking of this apartment (John is a true gentleman), the apartment is beautiful, immaculately clean, wonderfully equipped, beautifully furnished and as the title of this review shows a total "home from home". The attention to detail from the owner includes a very comprehensive guide to the area, including attractions to visit, places to dine, and most importantly how to get there. We hired a car for our family of 5 (myself and husband, my mother and 2 children aged 15 and 11) For convenience of viewing the island I would advise this and it is far from expensive (and can be done online so the car is ready at the airport) The complex of Cape Salema is very well maintained, the gardens and pool area were tended daily and so very beautiful. On the days when we decided for a gentle relax at the complex, the pool was very welcomed by us, once again immaculately kept, and whilst the children swam, the adults sunbathed in the gorgeous surroundings! We were out for 2 weeks in Jan and had fantastic weather, and with the apartment being in such close proximity to Los Christianos, Siam Park, and all the beaches we had a truly lovely holiday. Regarding the area of Palm Mar, I can honestly say it is beautiful, as on the listing it is a largely residential area, a good choice of eating establishments, a couple of small supermarkets for the daily essentials and some lovely coffee shops/bistros. The care and attention spent to the cleanliness of the streets and the general appearance is wonderful, the palm trees down the central reservation of the road are lovely. We chose to stay out of the very commercial areas of Playa de la Americas/Los Christianos as we wanted the choice of being able to go out and enjoy them whenever we wanted for day and nightlife however, we also wanted to relax in peaceful surroundings without the noise, hustle and bustle when we wished. I can honestly recommend that this apartment in Palm Mar offers you the idyllic holiday with total security, in a wonderfully maintained complex and, being only literally 10 minutes from the stereo-typical "holiday" spots, is the most perfect base for a family holiday whatever your requirements are. We WILL be looking at returning to this very same apartment as it had all we wanted and more - it is a total credit to John and his wife and we totally thank them!
