Los Boliches Gem of an Apartment

FMDW Dublin, Ireland
Review Submitted: November 20, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We visited the apartment last October and were so satisified that we are booking it again for a visit next April.
The apartment is so convenient to all kinds of restaurants, shops and facilities and the beach is only minutes away (literally 3 minutes). It is only a 12 minute walk to Fuengirola (I timed it) and all that it offers, or you could take the train from the Los Boliches station for about €1.50.
Sun bathing on the large terrace is just great since it manages to get the sun for most of the day. There is also a good shade on the terrace for when one needs a break out of the sun.
Enjoy walks along the promenade, trips to the zoo and take the train to Bella Madena for the cable car up the mountain.
The apartment is very central, comfortable and will suit couples, families or groups. In Los Boliches and Fuengirola you will find a very friendly atmosphere where visitors are welcomed.
We are looking forward now to our next trip in April.

gem in los boliches

Review Submitted: September 18, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
what a gem of a place in los boliches.Stayed in many apartments and hotels in fuengirola and los boliches,and this was by far the best.Literally minutes away from the beach,and surrounded by wonderful tapas bars,serving the most mouth watering delights and fabulous restaurants.Great supermarkets right on your doorstep with everything you need.The two bedroom apartment is really spacious,and is absolutely spotless,and no need to fight over wardrobe space (or hangers)as there is plenty of room.The double bedroom leading off the kitchen has a great ensuite and a dressing room which has a door which can be locked giving you that extra bit of privacy away from the 2 bedroom and living area,incase you want peace from teenagers!!! who definetly would enjoy all the channels available on the t.v in the living room.This room also has sofa beds,and doors leading onto the most amazing terrace.The 2 bathrooms are a great size,and showers had not only constant hot water,but even when both showers were going the pressure in them was brilliant.The kitchen area is a really good size and the owners have left nothing out when it comes to providing everything you need if you decide to cook.There is another door which leads out onto the terrace from here.You will be amazed at this terrace,which gets sun most of the day.....whether you lie on comfy sun loungers,dine around the table while under the canopy or cook on the barbie! it is really dificult to pull yourself away,even to go to the beach.The apartment block is immaculate and having a lift that always works and no ques is good for me.Have already booked again for next year as we found this apartment the loveliest to stay in,brilliant space and in an area that is still spanish! The only tough decision you need to make,is stay on the glorious terrace sunning,eating and sipping the local wine,or drag yourself off the lounger and walk 2 minutes to the beach to sun dine and drink some chilled sangria!

Holiday stay

Scraggy 09 Brighton
Review Submitted: July 9, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Recently staying in this property sleeping 6 adults, we found to be difficult. Unfortunately, the cooking facilities did not really accomadate us all. Although the location was in a perfect spot for all the family, restaurants, shops and sea on your doorstep, it would have been nice to have been able to eat in some nights for a family meal rather than eating out.

Sea front just left of the appt - sunbed rental is 9 euros for 2 beds all day.

Location for Bus and Train station was really good, 10 minutes away if walking or by taxi 4 minutes costing 6 euros. Taxi rank outside Hotel Angela.

Aqualand Mijas - 6 euros by taxi , 1 euro 50 cents from bus station.

Travelling to the appt from Malaga Airport was approx 30 minutes - cost approx 36 euros taxi , but the train is just as easy to use which we did for our return journey from Fuengirola @ 2 euros.

Streets close to the appt are busy until 2 / 3 o'clock a.m but you really aren't aware how central you are, noise is not a problem.

Would not stay at this property again but only down to size. Only saw the owners on arrival and departure.
Owner's Response: As stated in our Holiday Rentals advert we have a 4 ring cooker with a separate oven, a good micro-wave and an electric kettle together with all the cooking pots and dishes etc required for 6 people, we do not have an indoor dining room, we do have a 6 seater table on the patio designed for the traditional Spainish Al' Fresco dining.
I am very pleased to note again, that the location is very suitale for family holidays. All quoted travel times are honest approximations and are not intended to mislead future guests.
I have the apartment next door and I am live here in Spain for most of the year so I am very accessable should any of my guests require my help.

Great Apartment

Review Submitted: June 7, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We have just come back from this apartment, the description of the property was spot on, was well laid out and was well maintained and clean, Ann and Micheal were very friendly and were handy if we needed any advice, I have already recommended the property to a work collegue, and would have no hesitation in visiting again. The terrace was great plenty of space and the sun beds were fantastic with nice thick cushions. Supermarkets and restaurants were all in walking distance, and there is a very spanish feel to this area. Ideal apartment for anyone who want everything close at hand and dosen't want to hire a car, in walking distance of Los Boliches Station.

Brilliant Break

Review Submitted: March 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
I have visited the apartment with my husband many times now and we have booked again for next year. We love it so much as the prices are great, the beach is literally across the street and there is a variety shops & restaurants very close by.
I love sun bathing and the terrace gets the sun all day long, my husband however, would prefer the shade and enjoys a good book in the shade on the patio...there is so much room!
We have also enjoyed walks along the promonade, trips to the zoo and had great fun at the water parks.
The apartment is versatile to couples, families or groups and Fuengirola has a very friendly and fun atmosphere for all.
Hope you have a great time, I know we will!
Looking forward now to our summer break !!

Great Spot

Audio Derry
Review Submitted: March 10, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Literally on the beach, surrounded by everything you need. Two minute walk to seafront, where you have a choice of numerous good and reasonably priced restaurants or take a stroll into Fuingeriola for serious bargains in designer stores.
The apartment itself is very spacious, with two good bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a living room which can become a third bedroom. (T.V. etc. provided)
There is a large fully equipped working kitchen, which is great, particularly for preparing bbq's to be enjoyed out in the huge rooftop terrace. This its self is a real bonus and comes fully equipped for dinning or just soaking up the sun.
Air conditioning is an added bonus.
Will certainly use this apartment again.

2 Bedroom Penthouse Apartment

Karen Aine Perth Australia
Review Submitted: March 9, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
We stayed in this apartment in Jan 2009. It is situated in Los Boliches which is a lovely area and everything you need is so close. The beach is literally 1 minute away and the supermarket, local market, bars and restaurants are all within a 5 min walk. Fuengirola town centre is about a 15 min walk along the promenade which has even more bars and restaurants to choose from.

The apartment is quite spacious, well presented and homely. It has a double room with ensuite, a twin room with seperate bathroom, a lounge room (with sofa beds to sleep 2 more) a nice big kitchen and of course the huge penthouse terrace (awesome for sunbathing). The bedrooms and lounge also have split system air conditiong at the touch of a button.

Getting to and from the airport is easy we took a taxi when we arrived and then took the train back. The owners are very helpful, they have a great knowledge of the area and were happy to help with any queries we had on local activites and events etc...

Excellent Stay

Martyog Co Down , N. Ireland
Review Submitted: March 7, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
I have stayed at this apartment 7 times in the last 8 years! We didn't stay last year as we had our first baby, but we have just booked for this summer and we really cant wait!
It is an excellent apartment with a massive top floor terrace (definitely under priced for its size! & it has sun all day!). It really is a sun worshiper's heaven (my wife). I myself prefer the beach and that is literally 1 minutes walk from the front door!
All the usual local and holiday amenities that you could ask for are on the doorstep, like, restaurants (all types), cafes, bars, night clubs, zoo, water sports, golf courses, castles, water park, and its minutes from the train and only 15 minutes from the airport. We have stayed here year after year as a couple and also with a number of friends and we have always had a terrific time with the different things to do, you will never be bored! and we really cant wait until this summer to have our first 'family' holiday with the baby. I just cant stress enough that we always have an excellent holiday here!!

Great Location

Review Submitted: February 20, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
Out the door turn right and you are on the beach what a spot! Close to everything you need, just a short walk to the supermarket the many restaurents along the seafront and a leisurely stroll into Fuingeriola town centre. This apartment has so much to offer any group of holiday makers.
Two bedrooms , two bathrooms ,a full kitchen and a living room that doubles as a third bedroom for the larger group.We didnt use the kitchen much as we ate out a lot but for the larger family on a budget this is perfect.
The terrace is huge, loads of space to dine or just enjoy the sun.
The owners were great,the maps and directions to the apartment were perfect,
We arrived by taxi but with the train just a short walk from the apartment for those who travel light this is a great money saving option.
We will be booking with this owner again.
