Lovely apartment in a nice, clean and quiet complex. Apartment contained all we needed, and more, and was very comfortable and clean. Air conditioning was very useful! Sky TV was good to keep in touch with the news etc. It was just as described. Communication with the owner was great, he was very helpful!
Pools (one baby pool and a larger one) was very nice, clean and never crowded.
The location was good, in a quiet area. We did not hire a car, and had no problems getting anywhere. Easy walking distance to shops, beach and restaurants. In five minutes you could be at the beach, the walk was easy and fairly flat. Beach and the promenade meant you could walk and walk! Hardly any traffic at the beach front. Some nights we walked into the more built up part of the town for dinner and found some great restaurants were we could practice our Spanish and get some lovely and very well priced food. Cannot fault the welcoming nature of the local people and their patience and help when we tried our Spanish. This is predominanantly a Spanish resort, one of the reasons we chose to go, although menus were sometimes in English/German too.
Organised airport pick ups were both on time, in air-con comfort and at a very good price.
Beach is mainly shingle and shelves away quite quickly. Fine for my two at age 8 and 13 but for children under 5 some caution may be necessary. Exceptionally clean, with great facilities....showers, foot washes, toilets, lifeguards...
Even late at night I felt completely safe walking back.
I would not hesitate recommending to a friend and would love to go back!
The town had loads to do if you like that sort of thing! Water park, go-karting, aquarium, large shops....but we went to chill and did just that!
