Charming seaview apt by Costarentals - Ref 49

Apartments lovely in a lovely área. Gardens beautiful. Next to the main road, so some noise from that if you need it quiet. Everything you need was in the apartment.

Main bedroom could do with a mattress upgrade and also new pillows in both bedroom, as both werent very nice. Stained mattress cover, and mattress was just a mattress topper on top of a bed base in the main room.

The location was good - it was the perfect layout for us with a toddler and it felt safe with it being a gated community. It was a nice walk to the beach and local restaurants, there were also shops nearby for supplies. If you’re travelling with kids there are so many great parks, along the beach and also in Mijas Pueblo. It’s a very child friendly area, all the staff in restaurants were great.

The amenities were a bit random/not what we expected. There wasn’t any kitchen roll or tea towels so we ended up having to buy some but then there was washing up liquid provided. I wonder if this was actually provided or if it was just left overs from previous guests. The information could be clearer about what’s included. I had read reviews about the accommodation not being clean and was worried about what state it would be in. Overall it appeared clean but there was a musty smell when we arrived. I think this might have been from the sofa and soft furnishings that could likely do with being cleaned. Aside from that, our stay was comfortable, the air-con was good and it was a quiet area to stay in which meant we all slept well. Luckily I had read other reviews about there being various steps down to the property so we were prepared, although it was a bit difficult with a toddler and a pram we made it work. Information about access to the property should be clearer so people are aware. We used the pool and were the only one’s there at the time which was nice. The area was clean and well kept.

El apartamento era muy amplio y bonito y con aire acondicionado y una televisión moderna

No me gustó la incomodez de tanta escalera para ir con una persona mayor y cargar con equipaje fue una odisea entrar y salir y eso no se avisa ,si no ,no lo hubiera alquilado y la angustia de no saber si iba a tener aparcamiento o no todos los días , la piscina tiene mucho cloro y una de mis hijas acabó con el pelo verde no sé si los niveles eran inadecuados

The views were lovely. The garden areas were well maintained and pretty with beautiful flowers. The apartment was tidy and clean when we arrived. The staff that we saw and spoke to were nice. The terrace was lovely to sit out on as long as the sprinklers weren't on. We even got to see some wild boar on the grounds!

This apartment was described as a ground floor apartment, and I'm not very able bodied so I thought this would be ok for me. Unfortunately it was a bit of a struggle for me and my family to get everywhere we needed to, there are several flights of steps to get in and out of the complex to the main road, then a huge hill to go anywhere I.e. Shops, even the pool was two flights of steep steps away. Also, not close to any restaurants, unless you are fond of hilly walking. The dishwasher was broken and we were told someone would come by to look at it. This didn't happen until mid way through our stay so we just washed everything up, including several items in the cupboards that were still dirty. A new dishwasher was delivered on our last day so we didn't get to use it which was a shame. . We also struggled with the cooker as it kept tripping the electric mid way through cooking. Some clarity on the description of where the apartment is situated might help future guests.
