Apartment

Benalfan Northampton
Review Submitted: September 16, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
I have stayed in 2 other properties in Benalmadena, this one beat both of them. Lovely grounds and a lift so you don't have to struggle up the stairs with cases. The apartment was very spacious and really clean. The balcony was very large and had the sun until about 8pm which was lovely. We never normally eat in the apartment but the kitchen was spacious (and there was a dishwasher), and it was really nice to eat on the balcony in the sun so we changed our habits and ate twice in the apartment. Very close to the harbour, 10 minute walk away. I would reccomend the supermarket at the top of the hill rather than Lidyl as there was more choice.

I have already recomended ths apartment to family members who also visit this resort often.

Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
just arrived home from this apartment. it is the ninth time at this resort and this is the best one so far. the place on arrival very clean it is so spaciou the photos dont do it justice. we stayed there with our children aged 13 and 8 they loved the pool some days we were the only ones there. it has loads of supermarkets close by. it is walking distance to the marina and also torremolinos. it is 12 mins to the beach.communication from donald the owner was very quick . key handover and booking of taxis was prompt by dianne who was so helpfull . everything you could possibly need in the apartment it was a lovely place to stay in . also so quiet at night . definately rebook this one

A Fantastic Holiday

Review Submitted: July 24, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Well,what can i say about this fantastic Appartment! Everything we had read in the reviews before we booked was 100% True when we arrived! We took a taxi from Malaga Airport(about 20mins and €22 )to the appartment,where we were met by Diane,with the key's. She showed us round and said if we needed anything to give her a call.She was so nice and sorted everything out for us(Nothing was too much trouble).We hired a car for 3day's and got a really good rate,about €90 for the 3 day's (Val's Car Hire in Arroya)!,including delivering it to the appartment and when we took it back,they drove us back to the appartment,wich again Diane sorted out for us(Thank's Diane).
The Pool, the Appartment block and Appartment were all spotlessly clean.The pool and appartment block were cleaned every morning!
The Appartment was like a home,from home and then some!!,with the use of the garage under the appartments,with the electric gate and electric garage door(the lights come on when the garage door opens and you park in your allocated space,then there is a lift up to all floors,One Word LUXUARY!
The harbour is so nice,even better at night and is only about 15 mins walk.With a supermarket so close to us we could walk there in 2 mins,also a bit further towards the main road you will find a Lidol Supermarket.
If you can do what we did,hire a car and visit Gibralter,you need your passport to get in!!(about 2hrs drive away),but well worth the trip,it's lovely there and a better rate for £ Sterling there.Go up in the Cable car to see the monkees,you will be amazed!
We also headed to Granada,another day(again about 2hrs drive),to The Sierra Nevada,it is Fantastic there,even out of the Ski Season!,we would love to go skiing there one day. We took a day out driving around Mijas,now that was a nice day! We split are time between,lazy day's by the pool to nights at the Harbour and at 24hr Square(were most of the bars are),watch out for The Doggy 2 for 1 Drink's Offers(They don't really exist,just aploy to get you in to the bars)!
Thak's again to Diane for everything,she even booked us a taxi to the airport! Thank you to Donalad&Sheena,for letting us stay at there Fantastic Appartment.

A fantastic Apartment

rula01 Lisbon, Portugal
Review Submitted: June 25, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We really loved this apartment, it felt very much like a home from home. It was spotlessly clean and has a great sized kitchen (not that we actually ended up cooking anything, but it's nice to have the option!). The location is great as it is within easy walking distance of the Seafront, Marina and the Carihuela. The grounds and pool are well kept and were not crowded at all during our stay. We would certainly recommend this apartment and we certainly hope to be back again soon.

The apartment is set out to the highest standard, both clean and practical. The service received from start to finish met all expectations and then some. It offers a quite and secure base for what ever type of holiday you are looking for as the surrounding areas offer a wide range of bars, restaurants, theme park and water park.

Fantastic apartment!

Review Submitted: February 25, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
We (two adults and two teenagers) stayed at the apartment for a week in Jul 07. It was such a lovely apartment, very clean, spacious and genuinely the best-stocked kitchen I have ever seen. There is a huge balcony which was gorgeous for evening drinks. The complex is gated so fully secure, and the windows all had bars on them. There is a parking space as well although next time we would not bother with a car as supermarkets, the beach and restaurants are easy to walk to, and also it was only about 20 minutes from the airport. It took about 10-15 minutes easy walk to get to the beach and then a short stroll along the promenade to the marina where we ate every night! On most days we and one other family had the pool to ourselves which was a real bonus - the pool and gardens are immaculate. I would absolutely recommend this apartment to families and thank you to Donald and Sheena for such a lovely holiday - we would love to go back!

Craig,Samantha,Alfie&Harry,
Great apartment--far better than the pictures make it out to be.It was one of (if not the) cleanest i have ever stayed in. The balcony got the sun just about all day . Everything you could want was in this superb very well equiped quiet apartment.
Only 15 minutes from Malaga airport
Its got a spotless pool that seemed like it was our own , as it was rearly used, and this was in August.I would recomend it to all but great for familys. thanks to the welcoming and helpful Mackenzie family(owners)

Review Submitted: February 22, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
Reg, Diane & Family - We have had 3 great holidays in this apartment and we found everything we needed and more. It was spotlessly clean, in a nice quiet area but easily accesible to all amenities in particular the coastal train which we used frequently including our travel from the aiport. It is also a short stroll to the Benalmadena Marina and beach where there are enough bars and restraunts to cater for all tastes. We are currently looking forward to our fourth stay

First Stay

astra Lincoln
Review Submitted: February 14, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2007
Allison, April & Alan - was our first stay in this apartment. Only about 20 minutes from Malaga airport. The area lovely and quiet yet not far from the town and shopping centres which we made full use of. The Marina is in walking distance and offers a lively evening out. On arrival we were greeted by the owners sister who was very helpful and made us feel very welcome from the of. The apartment is lovely, secure and private. Has all the facilities you need. Plenty of good restaurants near by. Nice beech. I would recommend this apartment to anybody and we will certainly be going back.
