I had been to the Los Alcazares area before and loved the place, but was looking for a family-friendly, central location that I wouldn't need to hire a car for this time. I was taking my 2 children (aged 5 and 11) and my mum with me during the school holidays. From the outset Donna and Steve were fantastic to communicate with and were so friendly and helpful with my many questions! On arrival the apartment was just a 5 minute journey in the taxi from the airport, costing just 12 euros, and the gated complex was beautiful and well looked after with an amazing pool. The apartment itself was by far the best we have ever stayed in. It was spotlessly clean and amazingly well-equipped and had a lovely home-from-home feel to it. Just about everything you could think of was provided! The kitchen had all the basics to settle you in, although the closest supermarket is only a 2 minute walk to the top of the street anyway, as is the main promenade. The promenade offers a variety of restaurants to eat in during the day and evening at very reasonable prices. The stunning beach is just a 5 minute walk from the apartment too, and all on the flat so is suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs, and provides a great walk in the evening sun. We were going for a relaxing holiday so weren't concerned about going on trips or sightseeing, but if you did you would need a hire car or organize trips further inland through the tourist information. Even though it was the school holidays in the UK, the area was still relatively quiet, so there was no fighting to get a spot at the beach or around the pool! We can't wait to return again next year and will definitely be staying at the same apartment, which I can't recommend highly enough.
