Guest comments
We stayed in this apartment in July 2009 with our two small children and had a lovely family hoilday. Apartment very clean on arrival and had all facilties you would need with a family. Very useful having the children's toy's, beach items, picnic plates and cool bag, beach umbrella, DVDs, children's cutlery etc - thank you! The temp was very hot - into the 40's so as previous reviews have said the air-conditioning in the living room and bedrooms was great - a fan was provided in the children's room which we had to leave on most nights. There were good beaches within easy driving distance - the best sandy one was San Juan around 20 minutes away, great for shallow water for little ones. The water park (2 minutes away) was good fun but busy - get there early (or after 4.30pm for a discount). Good restuarants within 15 minutes drive away - we liked the ones in Garrucha. Supermarket 2 minutes drive away was great for all essentials and Sangria! Overall an easy holiday - no problems.
