I would actually give this apartment 4.5*'s. But the improvements required are only very minor!
1. The pool is amazing! It is Huge and never get's busy. If you like a nice pool, this is for you! Only slight thing is that I found the pool slightly too hot! But only slightly. On the positive, there seemed to be usually a life guard supervising the pool, even when there was literally only 5 or 6 people using it!
2. The Apartment is Huge. And the Air Con is more than sufficient to cool it. But there is a lot of wasted space the way that it is currently set out. Just as you enter the apartment there is a huge space that is not used.
3. There is a good sized balcony. The view is not great from it and it could benefit from better table and chairs to sit on. It was not particularly comfortable.
4. You will not get an apartment as close to Malaga Centre as this one with such a nice pool. at night we just walked to the bottom of the road and stopped a taxi into Malaga which has a beutiful centre. Taxi's were only €10 into the centre and €15 back
5. Most of the restaurants close by the apartment are fish restaurants. And a lot of them are very nice too. They are all along the beach which is a lazy 10 minute walk from the aprtment. You can find a few other restaurants set on the road but they are not particularly touristy. But for most of our dining, we went into Malaga where you have an abundance of restaurants to choose from.
6. The entrance to the block of flats could be touched up. It did not create a great 1st impression. It is quite dull and dark. But this has nothing to do with the actual Apartment which is a very high standard.
7. The Host is amazing! Ask Arancha anything and she will halp out! AAA+
8. TV had really only Spanish Channels to choose from. I did note it had a Spanish Net Flix account. But I logged out of it by mistake and could not work out how to log back in. Beware.
All in all, a great holiday apartment which we would most definitely return to.
