I LOVED my stay with Mercedes in her B&B on the beach. It was everything I had hoped for and more! Great location, a host with a warm, open heart ready to do anything to make your stay more comfortable. I woke up to views of the Mediterranean from my window....the beach is so close you can smell the water. I just had to cross the street and order my morning espresso in the coffee shop on the beach (in the Banos del Carmen) across the street. Everything was walking distance away. Supermarkets, stores, coffee shops and restaurants. The center of town is about a 20min walk west along the beach. The center is very noisy and crowded and it was wonderful to stay in a quiet, peaceful place yet still feel close to town. If you walk east there are great sea food restaurants along the beach. It's like a promenade with retail on one side and the beach on the other. Also great for biking or running.
Beds in the room were new and very comfortable. I had lots of room to spread my stuff with a whole closet and extra drawers. Big plus: Mercedes has free high speed internet available at home. Apparently free WiFi does not exist in Spain not even in public places like restaurants or even the airports. Turned out that Mercedes's home was the only place I could connect online. And it was a fast and reliable connection (also not a given in Spain).
Overall I would definitely recommend this B&B as the perfect spot for a laid back vacation in sunny Malaga.
