Excellent situation . . .
. . . but although we could her the tantalising sound of the swimming pool system about ten metres away, the pool itself was closed until 3 June, three days after we left. There is a second pool, as you can see, further down the front of Romana Playa.
In addition the gates to the beach have a separate disc key system; we were not provided with a disc and so had to go the long way round via the road to access the beach and the path alongside (see the photos). Our requests for a disc were met with the reply that the rental company could not provide one, which we found utterly extraordinary.
When we arrived we were not informed that we needed an electronic key to be able to drive in to the car park and we had to wait for someone to come out in a car. That key we found attached to the house key in the little key safe by the apartment front door. The apartment itself is great. Fully equipped, everything apparently brand new, ideally located a stone's throw from the beach (we could have thrown the stone over the locked gates!)
So that's why this review is not five points all round. 'Check in process' involved phoning Carmen. Several times.
Elviria is a splendid place for a beachy holiday. Great bars and restaurants, easy drive into Marbella.
