Perfect; quiet & children friendly

Oddly not contradictory! If you know La Torre, then you'll immediately see the benefit of this location (Hayedo 6, overlooking the 16th green). Being ground floor is extremely important for use of the pool. This apartment is possibly the best located one for this fantastic pool. If you are not on the ground floor, then you have to walk all the way around the building to get access to the pool. No good if you have small children, or a weak bladder of your own. Having used 2 other pools during our stay, happy to recommend this one over the others. For views, this is phenomenal - due to the location only a crescent of buildings, meaning you can look straight out over the lake. Sun in the morning, shaded patio/garden during the afternoon. Perfect. Down sides for some are further pluses for us - the location is about a 15 minute walk from the supermarket and other amenities (including the club house). This means that the location remains 'quiet' late in to the night. La Torre is a fantastic GOLF RESORT - I was surprised how many families thought it was a 'resort' complex rather than a golf complex. A car would be useful - not only to carry the litres of water back to the apartment, but also to get out to the coast and enjoy the atmosphere of evening beach life!! The apartment itself is exactly what I had hoped for; clean, comfortable, quiet, sensibly and well equiped etc. No UK tv channels, but there is a DVD player (take your own dvd in case of poor weather), hifi etc. The complex has wifi network for internet access which you can pay for at the club house (good coverage in the apartment). Good dishwasher/washing machine. Although the apartment has underground parking - we were not provided with the 'zapper' which was a shame as the car left out side naturally becomes an oven during the day. The very helpful and friendly key-holders provided supplies for our late night arrival, including milk/bread etc. Very very good of them. One slight moan - the shower was not perfect as the combi boiler didn't stay on and resulted in hot/cold/hot showers. It is a double edged sword providing a glowing recommendation, as it may mean my booking for next year will not be as easy - but if you're looking for excellence in a quiet location with a great pool, book this apartment. If you want immediate access to the night-time facets of the resort - look elsewhere.
Owner's Response: We are pleased to advise that the 'zapper' for the underground carpark will be available from October 2009 onwards for the use of all future guests.
The combi boiler is the same throughout all properties on the resort and we agree it does result in hot/cold/hot showers but it certainly makes us shower quicker!
