We absolutely loved this apartment in Manilva. It has everything you need to prepare your own meals and there are several supermarkets within a few minutes drive. You can also find a selection of restaurants near the port, also about 5 minutes by car.
The smart TV supports Netflix, Amazon Prime, and TuneIn. This means you have access to a wide collection of movies, series, and music. (Netflix and Prime require you to have your own subscription)
Internet works like a charm, the connection is fast and spotless.
Like others already said, the terrace of the apartment is covered and there's no direct sunlight. As non-sunseekers, we loved this. If you would like to sunbathe, the community's swimming pools are only mere steps away.
There is also a padel court (no tennis court) and a golf.
Regarding things to do in the area: we would suggest day trips to Ronda, Gibraltar, and Marbella - Puerto Banús. There are also some great hikes you can do. Our favorite hike was the vulgar hike that starts in Casares.
Like others already said, you do need a car. We did walk down and back up a few times. It is possible, but it is probably not something you want to do at 10 PM after dinner.
