The apartment and surrounding area more than live up to the description that is given. We had a wonderful holiday in an idyllic setting and we can't wait to go again. Swimming in the sea everyday and in the apartment pool in the temperatures there is a must and was something that we really look forward to going back to. The apartment was clean and very well maintained and the facilities in the apartment, eating and cooking utensils, washing machine, shower, tv/radio, balcony, furniture are excellent. Temperatures over our stay ranged from 23 Deg C to 30 Deg C.
Buying food locally and eating out are both very cheap and the food in restaurants is excellent. We particularly liked "Galleria" in Costa Calma. There is a good WiFi signal for internet use from the apartment although for some reason at weekends only all internet seems to be blocked despite there still showing good access signals.
Car hire from Payless at the airport was extremely easy and there was no problem with the car. Even allowing for the fact that we are not used to driving on the wrong side of the road the journey from airport to apartment took slightly less than one hour and the roads are not busy. Petrol is very cheap compared to Ireland and U.K. Well worth hiring a car in order to visit points of interest when you feel like it and without having to rely on local services.
If you like quiet and out of the way but within easy reach of local services, beach, safe swimming, water sports (wind surfing, kite surfing)etc, this is the place for you. Even if you don't like water sports just walking on the miles of yellow sandy beach and watching others have fun is great.
The overall feeling we came away with was that we wanted to go back and would recommend it to others, and that is always a good sign.
Thanks very much for a great holiday.
