A very relaxed and layed back holiday
Review Submitted: May 14, 2009

We arrived at the apt and was met by Ness who showed us around the apt, the welcome pack gave us a good start so we didn't have to rush to the supermarket.
I was really surprised by what a good supermarket Supersol was , it has everything and lovely fresh baguettes. just by the supermarket which opens at 9 in the morning you also have a Burger King and there are another couple of bars there but i don't know what they actually serve as we didn't use them they weren't really geared up for the season and some bars are still closed as we went out 4th May.
The marina has lots of bars but a bit limited to tapas and pizzas but a real good find is Marios, Chinese food at its best and Martin was an excellent front of house..
.Captain Moonies a bit further on varies from one night to the next so i cant recommend it , one night was really good , 2 nights later must have been a different chief , not the same meal at all.
Fabulous sunsets from this side of the Marina.
Round the other side was Sinatra s Tapas bar , Fabulous meatballs and the baked potatoes made by Rosa, Ness works here part time so this is where i found myself between 11 and 2 sat talking to Bill and Ness watching the world go by.
We went on the ferry to Santiago , it only takes 40 mins , 4 euro one way , market day it Wed at the top of the town, we also went on the Sunday and there was a craft fair on the front and all the kids rides where open , Buddies English bar is now called Barracuda , and they do a really good breakfast, you will find this if you go straight across the road from the ferry up a small back st and turn first right , it is on your left.
We would hire a car if going again ( only out of season as the strip get's really busy July August)
I found the buses on the strip a total wast of time , i only saw one all week.
Ness and Dave who look after the apt are really friendly and will do all they can to make sure your holiday goes well , i couldn't fault them , they keep the apt in tip top condition and it was spotless, the furniture is very nice , beds are very comfortable, the safe is in an awkward position in the bottom of the wardrobe but we managed . would i go here again , .................yes very possibly ,
would i recommend this apt , ...........yes most certainly,
once you get used to how quiet the strip is that is when you begin to appreciate its locality . The weather was fabulous with only 1 half days rain all week.
A lovely holiday.
