Julie and Kevin Our stay in March 2008

JuJo Codsall Wolverhampton
Review Submitted: April 7, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
What a beautiful apartment and area. This was our top pick out of four options when I was looking for us to stay some where. Gary provides over and above excellent service before during and after the stay.The description of the apartment and extra information given is absolutely spot on, really well equipped and very clean. We went with two friends (Jo and Steve)who give me the responsibility to pick the right place and apartment to stay and it exceeded our expectations. For future stayers take gary's recommendation of hiring a car (it is a little off the beaten track which was exactly what we were looking for.(there are local maps in the appartment to help getting around the area). we prefer to eat and drink in as we like shopping and cooking like the locals but there is plenty of eating/drinking places and small supermarket within a 10-15 mins walking distance if thats your requirement. (although because of the exchange rate we thought a little pricey). The larger supermarkets are better value

The local markets are well worth visiting the choice is enormous and so fresh and the traders were so friendly. definaetly try their produce they are happy to let you taste samples.

We made full use of the roof terrace(solarium) Jo and I had our birthdays the week we stayed. who else has a barbeque in warm sunshine to celebrate their birthday in March.

Kevin and I are not really beach people but Jo and Steve are and they said they are very clean and safe.

All in all an excellent stay and will visit again (hopefully) and fully recommend Gary and Sharrons property to anyone thinking about it.
Owner's Response: Thank you very much Julie & Kevin for your review.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed yourselves with your friends Jo & Steve.
Regarding your visits to the local markets, we haven't really visited any over the last two years so we will make an effort to visit some this year and buy some local fresh veg & fruit !
We can recommend the Fish in the local Supermarkets, great for the late evening BBQ with a few bottles of wine and some soothing music on the solarium !.......
Look forward to hearing from you in the future for your next stay . A discount will always apply for a second booking !

Review Submitted: October 7, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed for 17 days in this beautiful apartment, which is ideally located close to beach,shops and restaurants, without being too close to the hustle and bustle.
Plenty of space and very well equipped, this was absolutely perfect for our family. It was our first stay in Spain and we would definately recommend this apartment for just about anyone to stay.
Can't wait to book next years getaway!
Thanks Gary for letting us stay in your wonderful apartment.

Great Location, Great Apartment

Bug1985 Cambridge
Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Upon arriving at the apartment, the first thing my boyfriend and I noticed was how clean and well maintainted the property was. We loved the sun terrace in particular as if you did not want to visit the beach, this offered a great place to sunbathe - a total sun trap! Onsite, there are bars and restaurants within walking distance or you could have a BBQ on the sun terrace if you did not fancy going out or if you are keeping on a budget. A small drive away, I would highly recommend the chinese restaurant for food and service. The air conditioning in the apartment was a god-send when we were there as the heat was a little overwhelming in the middle of the day. Overall, a great, relaxing holiday and we would return to this apartment.
Owner's Response: Thanks for the review.
So much to do in the local area...or do nothing and chill in the sun !
Leave the rain and clouds behind and follow the sun !

Please contact us for questions about the area and how you can secure your stay in our great apartment.

Fabulous family holiday.....

Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
A wonderful quiet and relaxed family holiday. The apartment was really spacious and very clean. Lots of useful toys, coolbox and other beach gadgets made for great days out at the beach. The pool and gardens were very well maintained and not busy - really safe for our two boys (age 9 & 11 years) to play and they made a number of friends.
Lots of activities - many beaches to choose from with fab waves, climbing frames and banana boat. Markets in easy driving distance. Good night time fair for the kids at Torrevieja, also Cartagena nice day out, shopping and sightseeing especially the harbour. Would definately recommend to a friend, Gary the owner provided excellent information and many useful instructions - he was really helpful and quick to email. The sundeck with built in BBQ was great after a long day at the beach.
The plaza had a huge variety of bars and restaurants. The whole family enjoyed Che, some meals were rather on the generous side but were value for money. Karaoke for the children at the plaza was fun along with a few cocktails (recommend a jug or two of fat frog!)
If you need to completely relax and rest up for a week or two this is the perfect holiday destination. Its easy, extremely layed back, a mini home from home. The whole family slept well, ate well and had a great laugh. The weather was good - we wanted to stay for longer, great value for money. A definate on next years holiday shortlist.
Owner's Response: Thanks Rich for the review and glad that you and the family enjoyed your stay.
As you say there are so many Restaurants to suit every pocket and taste.
We have made sure that 'our home' is 'your home from home'
We supply in each Bathroom/Bedroom, Shampoo,Bath & Shower gels.Towels,Bedding etc...
Shower hats and many more extras to save you packing & money .
Satellite TV, CD/DVD Player,Books,Mags & Maps.
We have Water & Milk normally waiting for you.
In fact all you have to do is bring yourself and chill on the Solarium/Pool/Balcony.........

The BBQ is ready for the fresh Fish & Meat purchased locally........And don't forget the cheap Wine !......

Please call us for details and plan your next holiday soon.

See you soon....

What a FAB Place!

Big Nick Ascot
Review Submitted: August 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My partner and I had a really lovely time....especially on the Sun Deck, where we had a lovely BBQ and could see everything...for miles. The apartment is clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is superb although to be frank with so many restaurants and bars...we never used it! The beach at La Zenia is really quiet and excellent if you like to spend your time privately.
Mixed ages generally in the Bars and absolutely no trouble . The owners are very nice people and Sharron definately the hostess with the mostest...!

Go ! If you dont you'll regret it!

Thanks Gary & Sharron
Owner's Response: Thanks very much for your kind words. Sharron and I are so glad you enjoyed yourself.

So many Beaches to pick from, which is the reason why so many of our clients keep coming back to stay at our apartment.
You have a good choice where you want to relax,either on the Solarium,sun bathe,BBQ,or just sit under the large Parasol and read a book !
Eat and drink on the Balcony, overlooking the Palm tree landscaped area.Or sit beside the fantastic quiet swimming pool and get that well deserved tan.
Swim a few lengths and then soak up the sun and wait for the delivery of afternoon Tea or Wine by the other half !........My Wife will kill me for saying that ! In fact I take the Tea to her !
which takes 4/5 seconds from the apartment.......
The Plaza is just a short walk.Enjoy a lovely meal and drinks and just chill in the warm air !
Other Restaurants and bars are very close by to suit all tastes and price.
See you soon.........

villamartin holiday home

bobali co durham
Review Submitted: July 24, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Great apartment clean with good facilities gary was very helpful.would recommend toanyone as set in a nice peaceful location.found that Paddy's Point in La Zenia (behind Consum supermarket) was great for a night out-taxi less than 10 Euros.would recommend renting a car though as beach is not within walking distance.found a lovely quiet wild beach at Calblanque about 45 mins away past the airport at Murcia
Owner's Response: Yes, definitely need a car to explore the lovely beaches.
Our best choice is La Horadada beach which is about 5 miles south on the 322.Very Spanish and only a few people on the beach at peak times.
If you want a chilled out quiet location give us a call and we will advise you on the best places to eat to suit your budget !
If you have a few aches and pains try the free mud at Mar Menor. It is renowned for having a water temperature some 5º warmer than the surrounding Mediterranean Sea and many go to swim there all year round. many others go for the healing mud baths located at Lo Pagan which have become famous worldwide for their healing properties

Exactly what we needed

Dave&Carole Wokingham
Review Submitted: June 19, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My wife and I stayed at the end of June 2009. The apartment was exactly as described and perfect for our needs.

At this time of the year the whole area was really quiet, and we had no contention for space round the pool.

There is a good selection of restaurants nearby; all english-speaking.

Ours was a fairly short-notice booking and Gary's instructions and arrangements for arrival were perfect.
Owner's Response: Thanks Dave & Carole for your positive comments.
We always supply full directions from all airports, links to the best car hire and flight bookings.
We have found that most renters prefer us to list local restaurants,supermarkets,outdoor markets which gives them more time to sit back and enjoy their holiday without wasting time .
We chose this apartment as it was not directly by the pool (no noise) but near enough for parents with young children.
We always try and be flexible with arrival and departure times to suit flights.

Our honeymoon in Villamartin was absolutley fantastic, we found the apartment very clean, tidy, spacious and above all very quiet and relaxing. The Plaza is just a short walk away of which has every restaurant and bar you could wish for. We would certainly recommend the apartment to our friends and family. We are also booking the apartment for our first anniversary next year. You will most certainly come back chilled and relaxed!!! We highly recommend this apartment to any one. Helen & Darran
