Lovely chilled out family holiday but hire a car if you want to venture out!!!
From the moment we booked, Kasia, the owner was very informative and responsive to all questions we had.
The check in process with Jenny was flawless and the apartment was exactly as described on the listing.
We are a family of 4 (two children aged 5 & 8) and we found the apartment the perfect size for us and it had everything we needed including air conditioning (think we would have struggled without it)
The urbanisation is small and just a few steps to the pool. Great for all ages as there is a small, medium and large pool. Our kids loved it. We always managed to get a table, chairs and a parasol every time we went down.
Just outside the complex there is a handful of restaurants which serve great food for very reasonable prices. There is also a 24hr shop which has all of the necessities. It is more expensive than the supermarket but for a 20 second walk I found paying the extra was a good compromise to not walking in the heat. The shop also sells fresh bread and pastries at a low price so perfect for breakfast and lunch. The supermarket is a good 5 minute walk but if you don’t have a car, like we didn’t, then carrying large amounts of shopping can prove quite tricky. There is also a pharmacy within a 5 minute walk which came in handy a couple of times on our trip.
The beach is around a 8-10 minute walk but is worth it. We found going around 3:30/4;00 was the perfect time as it does get extremely hot and it stays light until nearly 10pm so perfect for later evening trips. Take the road route as opposed to the alleyway as it’s much easier. There are a handful of restaurants and beach bars too. Vela beach restaurant did a great paella and the kids enjoyed their pizza. We took a bus one evening to the beach further up the coast however didn’t enjoy it as much so wouldn’t recommend it.
The only negative I have about the area (if you don’t have a car) is it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a taxi. None of the apps work and every phone number either rings out or you are placed on hold and it never gets answered. We are very much pool and beach people so it didn’t put too much of a downer on our holiday but the 2 nights we tried to venture out, we ended up walking to the beach. I would either recommend hiring a car or be prepared to stay within walking distance for the duration of your stay. I would highly recommend Beniconnect for airport transfers and book both ways before you arrive.
Overall a lovely chilled out family holiday.
