Review Submitted: September 18, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
Ihave just returned from a 9 day stay at the property in dream hills 2.Before leaving the UK i had had good communications with Ian regarding what the apartment had to offer and its location. I was met on arrival (as arranged) to find the apartment very clean and with a layout that would suit most people. I really liked the size of the rooftop solarium for sitting unbothered in the sun. The aircon was a welcome advatage in the bedroom at night. I know the area and found the location suited me very well but you do need a car to enjoy the surrounding area. There are a great many good shops;supermarkets;bars restaurantsand night clubs to enjoy within a 5~10km drive. The beaches are clean and most have lifeguards for peace of mind with children. Close to the property are 2 nice sized swimming pools with good lounging areas. All in all the property has everything you need to make your stay comfotable in a nice area wher you can soak up Spains wonderful sun !

Owner's Response: Thanks for your comments Paul.
Whilst a car isn't essential I would agree that if you really want to take advantage of the area then it is recommended. With some wonderful towns, beaches, bars, restaurants, etc all within such a short drive it would be a shame not to make the use of them. There are some maps in the property to make things easier.
As for the roof solarium, it is the bit of the property that everybody loves! It is big and has great, panoramic views but is also very private too. We've also made sure that whether you want to lounge in the sun or prefer to sit in the shade reading a book or having a bite to eat, you can.
You're right about the air-con as well Paul - it was more essential than ever this summer as it was the hottest for many years. We're glad that we have put air con in both bedrooms as well as the lounge!
Finally, I'm pleased that you felt everything went smoothyl re booking the apartment and being met there. We put a lot of effort into making sure it is as plain sailing as possible.
We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
Cheers
Ian
Thanks again

We were visiting family and the apartment was perfect for us. There is plenty of space and as 4 adults and 2 children we were never under each others feet. There are plenty of facilities within walking distance such as shops bars restaurants pools and swings, but the beaches are a little further away. A car is not essential (as taxis are reasonable) but it affords you a little more freedom to roam. Overall we had an enjoyable stay and the apartment was a perfect home from home. We would recommend it to anyone and will use it for future visits.

The apartment was everything as described and more! The owner a pleasure to do business with. Every question was answered accurately and honestly. I found the area perfect for what I wanted, a nice quiet break. There was plenty to do if I wanted to and as I had a car was able to travel around the area very easily. There are plenty of restaurants and shops in the area and loads more further afield. It is very easy to navigate and drive around. I would recommend this property to anyone and will definitely be returning. Thanks to the owner for helping me have the perfect holiday!

Owner's Response: Thank you for this review Terry, we take the renting out of our property very seriously and to receive such glorious feedback makes it worthwhile.
Whilst we've been renting out for 18 months and have had quite a lot of rentals in that time, we don't rest on our laurels and are always willing to make improvements that will enhance the experience of our Guests.
For example, although it wasn't relevant for you as your party size was small, prior to your arrival we listened to feedback received from previous Guests said that although we had air-con in the main living area and double bedroom that it would also be nice to have it in the twin bedroom.
So, now we've got air-con throughout and we know that Guests due to go in this summer will be able to stay cool in what will of course be the warmest time of year.
We look forward to welcoming you back either later this year or next year!!

The property is very nice indeed and comfortable, located very close to shops and restaraunts. It is only a short drive to the beach from Los Altos and to Punta Prima and Playa Flamenca where you can find the night life.
Tha solarium is great with BBQ, tables and chairs and sun loungers.
I would recommend this property for your stay in this area of the Costa Blanca

From start to finish, our 5 days here went like clockwork.
We arrived on time at Murcia airport, getting the rental car was easy (thanks to the Owner for pointing us in the direction of companies that do full/full on fuel - we barely used what was in the car and would have cost us a lot of money to have had to pay for the whole tank of fuel), directions to the apartment were easy to follow and we were there within 20-25 mins.
The apartment itself is lovely, nicely furnished and very clean throughout and best of all it didn't feel as if we were stopping in someone's home, which I was bit concerned about.
There was only two of us but I'm sure that had there been more it would have been OK and the 2nd bathroom would be a real advantage. There is air con in most of the rooms, except the 2nd bedroom (that we didn't use) but I know the Owners intend to put a unit in there before the summer when it will be necessary.
We found the overall area to be really nice - it is the first time we've not done the hotel in a resort thing and what a difference! So much more relaxing, less hustle and bustle but then plenty to see and do on your doorstep.
We ate out every night, a few nights at the nearby bars / restaurants (how cheap is Chinese food in Spain?!) but also ventured a little further afield as well and had a really nice meal at Villamartin Plaza.
Booking the apartment was very easy, the Owner took the time to make sure that this was the right place for us, he issued the contract very quickly and paying was also easy to do (we paid by Internet Banking).
We were met on time by the keyholder who were very friendly and helpful (recommended supermarkets, restaurants, etc) and then again when we were leaving, they turned up on time.
The Owner then contacted us within a couple of days of us getting home and genuinely seemed to want any suggestions for improvements - nothing stuck out for me but it was nice to be asked!
We had a really good time and will definitely be booking directly with Owners again in the future and I would recommend this apartment to others.

A relaxing break!
Review Submitted: May 23, 2008
Date of Stay: April 2008
We rented this property for a week recently and was very impressed with it - we wanted a relaxing break and that's exactly what we had!
We were slightly unfortunate that the weather wasn't the best so we perhaps spent more time in the apartment than we might have planned to but thankfully it was very comfortable.
When we did get some good weather we loved the roof solarium with its great views and I can imagine in the summer that it is great for sunbathing or having a BBQ, especially in the evenings. We didn't use the swimming pools but they looked nice and having access to two would be a real plus in case they get busy.
The overall location is great too because it is generally on the quiet side but with two commercial centres nearby and then loads of other places to go that are a short drive, we had the best of both worlds.
We will certainly be returning to the area in the future and would have no qualms in renting this property again.
