we went to this appartment the end of may 2009,and found the appartment itself really lovely everything you need,but there was not a soul around that week,very quiet,joanne the lady who shows you to it ,was really pleasant ,i really liked her [very helpfull],this is not the time of year to go here ,unless you want a quiet and i mean [QUIET] holiday .we struggled to find a place to celebrate my birthday,its an up and coming resort where the appartment is,you definatly need a car,took nearly four weeks to get my deposit back, and the cheque cleared, which i was very annoyed about ,the owner had a bit of a dilema, but i still think i could have had a cheque in the post ,it would have took 5 minutes,overall i dont think we will go back to la manga ,not enough to do,but the appartment is lovely
Owner's Response: I am pleased you liked the apartment, but sorry that you found it too quiet. It is perfect if you like walking along the beach and watching the sun rise over the Med and the sun set over the Mar Menor, with out all the glitz of somewhere like Benedorm. There are lots of bars, restaurants, water sports and ferry at the Marina which is 3 km away. I am surprised and disappointed that you could not find a restaurant for your birthday celebration. There is one of the nicest restaurants on the La Manga strip which is right on the beach, opposite to the apartment and another one just 100 metres from the apartment, both of these are very Spanish. Both of these are open all year so I can only imagine that you were looking for something more ‘English’. This is a very Spanish part of Spain, at Easter, July, August and most Sundays, it is full of Spanish holiday makers, at other times, it is quiet, which is how we like it. I am so sorry about the deposit, as I explained I had to go away for 4 weeks to traumatic family inquest, but although I had written the cheque I left it on the side and had not realised that I had not posted it. I can only apologise for this error. In fact I was so disappointed that I had upset you that I have now dropped the £100 refundable deposit for future bookings
