Stunning. Simply stunning

This place is paradise - as simple as that.
The moment when I stepped onto the balcony and saw that jaw dropping view will stay with me for an awful long time. The emerald green of the Mar Menor and the crystal blue of the Med (yes, you have 2 seas to gaze over) combined with snaking strip of land between the two, is one of the most beautiful views I have seen. And it can be seen from the lounge and all 3 bedrooms.
The beach (which was on our doorstep) has a little wooden beach bar serving sangria and tapas. The beach itself was not crowded, so we could have our own space. We hired jet bikes from the nearby Thomas Maestre port and whizzed along the coast from beach bar to beach bar. There is the opportunity to scuba dive on the strip ( a scuba school has recently opened), go on boat trips, explore the local markets, and even whack a golf ball or 2 in a vain attempt to stay fit.
There are some great restaurants nearby, with great seafood and paella. We had a number of meals out - sitting on the beach, dining on glorious seafood and watching the amazing sunset spill its pink and red hues over the Mar Menor.
The nearby Thomas Maestre port (walking distance) has dozens of different types of restaurants and bars and is really lively at night. Great fun!
I found the cost very cheap for what we got, the service and communcation with the owner excellent and really appreciated the personal touch when we got there.
The flat itself is very spacious, classy and has all mod cons in place.
One of the best things about this place was the fact we could do whatever we wanted - if we wanted a quiet night, we bought a load of ingrediants from the supermarket (200 yards away) and had dinner gazing over the stunning view, or if we wanted a bit more action we would wander over to the bars at Thomas Maestre harbour.
This was one of the best holidays I have had for a long time, took about a million photos of the views. And I didn't think the whole experience would be so cheap.
Am definitely going back again. And again and again.
