Myself and girlfriend have just spent two weeks at this apartment. In the second week my brother and his partner came to join us.
The apartment was very well equipped, we had mosquito candles, too lilos. We had everything we could have dreamed of for going to the beach, foot pump, lilos, boats, parosols, pulliing cart, bats and balls. everything. Upon arrival at the apartment we had thought of having to need everything suncream, washing powder, water. But no, all this was already there. In the apartment the electronics of the dvd/gamecube/tv need connecting to the users preference. The dvds mainly consist of back to the future, probably half the dvds are of this, so genre of dvds is very lacking..
There is a couple of disagreements I have with the information, mainly the beach is NOT 500 meters away. nowhere near. Your looking near on a mile to the local beach and considerable distance further for others. In addition to this is the page says 10 euro is plenty for a week comfortably, maybe in dead of winter but in summer, to live reasonably you need 20 if not 30. This is mainly due to it becoming so hot at night that air con is a must especially if you have small children.
The local supermarket is indeed local, very handy and good priced. A short walk further 5 mins, is a bigger supermarket with many places to eat. Chinease, italian, english, all reasonably priced.
The night time entertainment is lacking in punta prima, for any sort of entertainment one must travel to torrevieja 10 min drivee about 10 euro for a taxi.
The water park in torrevieja is very good, however it is indeed pricy, they often do deals 7 euros if you return within a week, free entry for the next day. Go karting is another option which is about 15 mins walk from the apartment. Both good fun, in torrevieja there is also a water play ground, by this i mean inflatable seasaws, trampline, climbing equipment and wall in the sea. This is good fun even for us 20 year olds. Not advisable for small children however.
In conclusion, the apartment is extremely well equiped, the area is quiet and the weather there was extremely hot (in july) the hostess was nice and gave the deposit back without any fuss :) trustworthy people here. Car is essential if your a "doing person" otherwise you can easily pass a week away in the pool which had a life guard, and on the sun terrace.
