Our Winter Holiday

ShazzaRazza Coventry, UK

November 2008

 

Like everyone we were all looking forward to our holiday on Costa Blanca. We had checked out the website for the apartment - and we were not disappointed. The apartment offers all home comforts, including cooker, microwave, toaster, washing machine, fully equipped kitchen etc. The place was lovely and clean and, as our holiday was in early December, the key-holder had ensured we had a supply of Calor Gas for the cool evenings. On arrival (the maps provided were great and very easy to follow) we were met by the key holder and shown to the apartment. She was very friendly and gave us tips on where to go for local amenities etc. We spent our first evening getting our bearings and checking out the folder of local information provided. The views from the apartment are amazing, the sea one way and the mountains the other. It was amazing to sit out eating breakfast each morning looking out towards the ocean. We were out and about every day. We went to Torrevieja, San Miguel, Santa Pola (from where we took a catamaran to Tabarca Island, well worth a visit), Orihuela, Cartagena and Alicante. The one place we were not so keen on was Murcia, but I think we missed the best of it! The beaches in the area are amazing, miles of soft golden sand and lovely and clean. I would say anyone choosing to stay here would definitely need a car, as there are very few amenities available on foot, just 2 shops and a small bar. Having said that, it's worth having a car to catch all the scenery. Overall we had an excellent holiday experience, and would happily recommend this apartment to my friends and family.

We love nothing better than happy guests!
We have done our best to provide everything that you would like to have in a holiday home, so that you have every chance of having a great holiday. We are very proud of our apartment and its location and it is rewarding to hear that guests appreciate it too.
We also recommend a car so that you can explore this amazing part of Costa Blanca or just to find the best beaches. Or you can just chill out at the apartment and enjoy the pool or the solarium where you can enjoy the views, soak up the sun or have a BBQ.

A party of 5 stayed here in June 2007 & everything was just perfect. The facilities in the apartment exceeded our expectations & the place was spotless.

The pool was lovely & kept in excellent condition, just a shame you couldn't have sunbeds down there.

Chatting to other owners we found out about a cheap supermarket, Eroski's, which was about a 20 minute drive away but well worth the trip - cans of beer for about 13 cents & very nice!

Also, check out the little Chinese restaurant in San Miguel, food, prices & staff fabulous.

I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone, we are thinking of going again next year, it was that good.

The only issue we had was that we had to drive to the shop, but now there are shops on site so that solves that problem!!

A Cracking Review! We do our best to provide enverything that our guests would need and want if it were their own holiday home. We are only happy if our guests really enjoy their holiday & our apartment. It's great to have such a positive review & pleaseing that we must be doing something right. The addition of the shops, bar and soon to be golf course further enhances the complex.

We try to make guests from any country most welcome. If like us you are not fluent in French the translation of the review is:- "Apartment very well located, facing the pool. It is comfortable and clean. A beautiful terrace for sunbathing and barbecue. The owners are very friendly and we were greeted by the key-holders who were very friendly and helpful. I recommend this particular apartment for a family with 2 children."

Although there are a couple of shops and a bar on site, a car is needed to fully appreciate the area and to give you a wider choice of shops and to visit restaurants, etc.

They enjoyed their holiday & our apartment so much that they have booked for another 3 weeks in 2009!  Christine & Jim are our key-holders who will welcome you and assist you if required.The translation of their review is:- “We spent a wonderful holiday and really nice apartment. Christine and Jim really nice. We had some issues to discuss because we do not understand English, but apart from that everything went well. We book for next year.”

Back home safely to the cold and rain.  We were delighted with the apartment and the facilities. We liked the peace and quiet and the view overlooking the pool,  our average temp. was 23°C while we were there, could get used to that. Spent most of the time on the terrace. We were so impressed with the ambience and easy way of life of these three weeks,  we even had a look round at properties for sale. Wouldn’t mind living there permanently..

They enjoyed our apartment and the whole way of life so much that they sold their house in the UK and stayed at our apartment for 3 months in early 2007 whilst they found a place of their our nearby.

May Family Holiday  

BEC21   Coventry, UK.

We arrived late at night and were warmly welcomed by the keyholders. The apartment was very clean and tidy, and well equipped with all mod cons. The balcony overlooked the pool, which was clean and well maintained, and this is where our kids spent most afternoons splashing about. The sun terrace was also a real bonus offering fantastic views of the area and was ideal for family Barbeques. The location proved ideal to explore the Costa Blanca and we had several day trips up and down the coast. Some of the highlights were the market in nearby San Miguel, El Gusto restaurant in Benjiofar (which had a children's playroom and great food) and the beach at Mar Menor (South of Torreveija). In general we would recommend Mike and Ellen's apartment and look forward to going back again.

Mike & Ellen's Response

The terrace is perfect for relaxing and watching the activities in and around the pool. The large private sunroof is ideal for lazing on the sun loungers, while reading or just soaking up the sun or alfresco family meals from the stone BBQ. But when you want to explore the area or eat-out, you will find that the apartment is a perfect base with easy access to numerous beaches, golf courses, coastal & inland/mountain resorts or attractions.
