Fantastic!!
Review Submitted: August 18, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
APARTMENT: My parents have been using this apartment every year for the past 4 years and it was highly recommended, it was a lovely apartment, very spacious real home from home with everything you need for a comfortable stay! large terrace area with dining set, sun loungers and space to hang washing, good size adult pool downstairs aswell as a kids shallow pool and 2 showers. Golfers paradise, you can see the golf course from the bedroom/kitchen windows and is a 30 second walk away!
RESTAURANTS: if you love good food as much as we do here are a few must try restaurants: average price was for 2 people, starters, mains and a bottle of good wine!
DIBRUNOS - (cabopino 90Euros) beautiful restaurant situated up the hill from the petrol garage, advisable to book. Our favourite!
ALBERTS - (cabopino port 90Euros) Restaurant facing the port, good food, good location!
MIJAS PLAYA- (La cala 150Euros, bit more pricey but a lovely restuarant with top class food) This is an amazing restaurant, very swank and beautiful food, would eat there everyday if i could afford it! Menu is smaller then most but definitly something for everyone, advisable to book,we got there at 8:30pm and were the only people there, by 9:15pm the restaurant and terrace were packed! taxi home was only 12Euros
CHANCOS - (El Zocco Calahonda 85Euros) we have been visiting this restaurant for years, it is a family favourite and the fillet steak is to die for! taxi home 10Euros
BEACH:
I absolutly love Cabopino beach, 10 min walk from the apartment, tip for lunch - try Julie's bistro in the port (2 doors down from Alberts) the most filling baguette you'll ever eat for 5Euros. The restaurant on the beach has a very limited menu, if you dont want to eat chips everyday your screwed!
OTHER ATTRACTIONS:
Fuengirola market on a Tuesday, can catch a bus for about 80p all the way there!
Puerto Banus - As a young couple we tend to splash out on a few nights in Puerto Banus, large amount of bars/restaurants on the front line of the port, second line we found to be more suitable for stag parties and groups of young guy (wink wink!)
Drinks are quite pricey, a round of cocktails for 2 was about £26 but you expect to pay that sort of price in Puerto Banus.taxi home was 40Euros. Personally we found the bars in the square at Capobino much more appealing and Julie's do fab cocktails too!
Overall a fantastic holiday and we will be back!
