A lovely property- direct views of the sea

Pads 07 Scotland
Review Submitted: October 27, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Great property in very clean condition. Our kids enjoyed the three pools in the development which were all within 2 minutes walk. They hit the pools at 9.30am and would stay there until 1pm, then back to the apartment for lunch and onto the nearby beaches for the rest of the afternoon.
One of our days was spent at the Alhambra at Granada which is a trip of approx 90 to 100 minutes by car. It is well worth a visit, as is the city of Granada itself.
All in all a great holiday with wall to wall sunshine , a lovely apartment with wonderful direct views of the sea.

Just the Job

Does exactly as is says on the tin. A great base for exploring the area, well presented, clean and probably the best view from any apartment on the development. The pools and pool bar provide a place to chill in between excursions and was ideal for our family of four (kids 9 and 13) The spiral staircase needs a little care at first but you soon get used to it. The restaurants nearby provide good choice without rip off prices. The 15-20 min walk from the beach and town is a up a quite steep hill - don't try it with heavy shopping! Nonetheless we would happily book again without any second thoughts and thanks guys for making the arrangements very easy. Very good holiday.

What a magnificant introduction to my children and myself to Spain. This holiday was to be a restful, easy, relaxing holiday, and that was what we got. We didnt watch the clock the whole time. Communications with the owners from booking to returning home was brilliant. A full list of local ameneties and places to go was a great help. Apartment was excellent, everything you need for the perfect holiday, comfort, cleanliness, and home from home feel. Local bars and restaurants a walk away, I would recommend everyone tries 'The Grill' fabulous service and food was lovely. The beach was a walk away on somedays we had it to ourselves....Antonios restaurant is great. Local buses take you to Marbella and Fuengirola, these are easy to navigate. Swimming pool is literally on the doorstop and again on some days we had it to ourselves. There is another pool about 3 mins walk from the apartment and again this is a nice pool, slightly more busy but this may be to do with the bar at the side. My gosh it was hot there take lots of high factor sun cream, especially with little ones. A welcome pack was placed in the apartment for us with bread, milk and water etc, which was greatly appreciated as we didnt get in until late. All in all a great place to stay. We shall definatley be returning.

A little gem

Ray and Ang Sunderland
Review Submitted: July 4, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Having read the reviews we were not disappointed and can only confirm all the positive things that have previously been said. A lovely apartment on a beatifully gardened complex.

We loved the close proximity of the supermarket where we could buy freshly baked bread and croisants for breakfast as well as all the other necesities for a good holiday (wine and San Miguel.

For us it was perfect for a totally relaxing holiday aided by the comfort of having Annie and Martin to call on for help and advice.

It was nice to meet owners Dave and Suzanne as you often wonder who are the lucky owners of the property at which you stayed.

We will definitely return but I suspect we will have to book early to be sure of getting the dates we want. Maybe we should have written a negative review?

We had a fabulous time staying in this apartment which was gorgeous with stunning views. We found it the perfect location as we had a car to get around as i was 7 months pregnant. The beaches are amazing our favourite was recommended by the owners at Cabopino.
Can't wait to come back and the owners made it so easy to book and organise everying for our holiday which included our friends wedding at El Oceano Hotel which is beautiful for a visit or dinner by the way.

Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our holiday at your Apartment in May/June 2007.The Apartment was beautifully presented and ver cleaned on arrival,the view from the balcony is absolutley fabulous.The complex was very pretty,very friendly,so as a family it was perfect for us.There is a supermarket,bars and restaurants just a 10min walk away.We didnt want the hassle of hiring a car so the local bus service and where the Apartment was situated a car wasnt needed.We had a fantastic holiday and would highly recommend to anyone,families and couples alike.Penny and Family.

Summer Holiday August 2007

Daz1 Dudley - West Midlands
Review Submitted: March 25, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
My family and parents ( 6 of us in total) stayed in this fantastic apartment for 2 weeks in August.The apartment is aprox 20 - 30 mins from Malaga Airport.

The apartment has everything that you need for a great holiday , it is very spacious and comfortable and feels like a home from home , the well designed fitted kitchen has all you need a full size oven , washing machine , microwave and a fridge freezer , the lounge is also a good size with 2 sofa's one of which is a sofa bed which is very comfortable and has a tv.
The Bedrooms are also of a good size with the master bedroom having a en-suite and the second bedroom has a w/c and washbasin which is reached via a spiral staircase off the balcony.

The balcony has fantastic views of the sea and the surrounding area , it was really relaxing to sit on the balcony and just watch the world go by with a nice cold drink.

The complex that the apartment is set on is also very good , there are 3 pools , the large pool also has a childrens pool which was great for our 3yr old son , there are also lifeguards on duty around the pools which is also reassuring.

There is a Pool Snack/Bar by the large pool called the Tropicano Bar which is run by Marco and Nadia who made us all feel very welcome and made the holiday even more memorable , the food/snacks are very good and I recommend you try them.

There are also a range of resturants within easy walking distance which include Italian, chinese , Indian and Tapas Bar which are all reasonably priced.
There also Supermarkets again nearby which stock everything you need for a self catering holiday.

The beach is also within walking distance and is very clean and not overcrowded.

The Bus service is also very good which takes you to all the major tourist areas.

We had a really good 2 weeks holiday at this apartment as it was very relaxing around the complex , also all the people we meet where very friendly and helpfull.

I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants a good holiday in good surroundings.

We have booked again and are going at the end of april (can't wait)

Review Submitted: February 22, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
Just booked again for the 4th year running. Last there Sept 07, weather fabulous. Has a wide range of restaurants from Italian, Indian and authentic Spanish cooking all within walking distance. There are bars to suit your mood whether it be lively or quiet, everyone is friendly and you feel safe walking around late at night. The apartment itself was very clean and is like home from home. Views from the balcony are exceptional. The complex has a choice of 3 pools with loungers free of charge and a bar which serves up good food. I would definately recommend a friend and maybe 1 day take my family (ie children) without hesitation, but for now I'd like to keep it my own little piece of paradise.
