Large apartment in quiet area
A nice large holiday apartment with a huge balcony and great sea views. Well looked after by the local property agent who was very helpful when we arrived and on one occasion when something went wrong ( the pool pump broke).
There is a nice beach within walking distance which has sunbeds and shades and pedaloes etc to hire. There is also a bar at the beach although it did not offer food.
Cabo de Palos is quite a walk away but not too bad for young legs. It is very much oriented towards diving trips and as you sit at a waterside restaurant in the evening you see boat after boat coming back with young divers. It is not a place for bingo and karaoke! I dare say there is some of that on the nearby "strip" - the 21km peninsula of La Manga - but we did not explore that much.
As in many places in England there are no local shops; just supermarkets. We found the nearest one, Spar, very good.
My wife and I found the bedroom overlooking the balcony up to the usual standard. The back bedroom, though, is not; the only furniture in it is a couple of divans; it does look very bare! The fitted wardrobes are all very spacious and include rather unusual very high clothes racks on springs pulled down by poles; rather hard to use.
There is a TV and DVD player and a small collection of DVDs. We enjoyed these, although some failed either due to the age of the equipment ( the TV is old and buzzes a bit) or the discs. There is also a couple of sun beds on the patio. It could need more if the party was larger. There is a very big fridge with a freezer and the kitchen is all you would want.
Altogether a very good choice for watersport enthusiasts.
