Sunshine Break

My girlfriend and I stayed at the apartment for a week during July 2009. We both found it to be incredibly comfortable and relaxing, with fantastic views of the surroundings.

As a couple in our early twenties, there was plenty to keep us entertained, with a wide range of restaurants and bars in the evening. During the day we were quite happy to stay within the resort, sunbathing on the spacious balcony or heading down to the pool. We didn't rent a car, as everywhere we wanted to visit was within walking distance or a short trip on the bus (just 1 euro).

During our stay we had fantastic weather, with the last day reaching 46 degrees Celsius. Fortunately the apartment was very well air-conditioned and this meant that sleeping during the night was very comfortable.

There is a fairly steep hill up to the apartment from the hotel, but if you take the road down from the large pool at the bottom, you'll find the route to be much shorter and slighter in steepness.

We have rented this apartment several times in the past few years. The accommodation is clean and comfortable and the views out to sea are fabulous. The apartment is very well equipped and there is also a local manager who has a great knowledge of the area. We have always found the complex to be quiet even when we visited in high season and we will return in the near future.

This apartment itself, was comfortable and relaxing, and absolutely ideal for a couple. The panoramic sea view was stunning.

The apartment is located in the Puerto Marina complex at the extreme Southern end of Mojacar Playa and enjoys a semi rural location.

All the usual facilities were supplied including a travel cot.The air conditioning actually included an element of heating for those odd cooler nights.

The complex was very quiet during our visit, but I would imagine that because of the way of the individual blocks are situated it may be noisier during the peak season.

The only problem could be the stair access. It is on the 4th floor and there is no lift.

The area itself was relatively quiet during our Easter visit, apart from Good Friday, and the restaurants were crying out for business. I won't recommend any places to eat (except for Scooby Doo!!), just do as we did and try them out. There are some really excellent ones and, as ever, one or two not so good. Prices were generally about the same as UK and English is usually spoken.

Visit the Pueblo, Vera Beach, San Juan de Los Terreros - superb child friendly beach, the town of Vera with its Bull Ring, the cave houses at Cuevas de Almanzora, Albox for its Tuesday market, drive over the Sierra Filabres, you will probably have the beautiful mountain roads to yourself.

One last point; there is a long steep hill to access the apartment block, although there is an excellent local bus service terminating at the hotel, a hire car would be strongly recommended.

The apartment has the most stunning sea view from a hill above the coastline on the southern end of the Paseo de Mediterraneo. A car ist a must , unless you are a professional climber .
Very large terrace , functionally equipped .....friendly reception by local manager......all-in-all I really liked the place .
There should be not only sky TV....non-British guests might want to see other programmes.....also local Spanish TV might have been nice to have for weather forecasts , local news etc.

a very pleasing apartment, clean & well fitted out with comfortable furniture & bedding, for self catering you would search long & hard to find a better equiped kitchen.
the information given by the owner is accurate & communication with same is excellent. a good point to the business end of this apartment is the means of payment which can be made in england so there is no expensive bank charges usually associated with transfering money abroad.

many thanks to the owners & manager who provided us with bottled water for our late arrival, a very nice & welcome touch.
