This apartment was a real find, and we were lucky to be one of the first guests. We stayed as a couple, but there is ample room for two couples or a family with children. It's a great option for a family, and economical, with lovely communal space and a large kitchen. The flat is well stocked and has a dish washer, washing machine, and large fridge. The location is great - close to the beach but quiet at night. Walking towards Malaga, you will find the more up market Chinquitas, and out of the apartment and walking left, you will find the more relaxed areas of Palo beach. The entire area, though is very welcoming. We went during the festival of San Juan, and it was a real experience! This apartment and it's location was a real highlight for us; to stay in an area frequented by locals, which was lively, and at the same time, quiet with lots of beach to swim and relax on, and lots of quality, reasonably priced restaurants nearby - the boats which barbecue fish, were fantastic. About the restaurants: don't read reviews, which vary over the years, just find the place that looks popular with locals and have a delicious meal. Be warned: don't be forced into being upsold big meals if you don't want them. If you want lots of small plates, stick to your guns, in a friendly way :)
There is a large supermarket nearby and coffee shops for breakfast. There is a lovely run and workout area, with a well maintained outdoor gym, if you take a run 5 mins along the promenade towards Malaga.
This apartment was exactly what we were looking for and I would really recommend it for an authentic and relaxing experience. Transport is good, and the number 8, and 11 run to Palo beach or the city (20 mins)
Saachi, was always on hand to answer any questions we had.
Thanks and we will be back!
