Los Alcazares Vacation Rental house: Los Alcazares

The whole family enjoyed the entire week we spent at this accomodation. The house was very clean and comfortable with all the facilities you could wish for. The complex was very clean and well kept. Close to all amenities and the beach. Lovely restaurants near by. However we did feel that the residents and owners of some of the properties within the complex were very intolerant of people renting properties. People renting should be aware that there are very strict rules around the pool and should familiarise themselves with these prior to entering the pool or the surrounding area. Failure to do so could upset some people. Regardless of this we would return to this complex and would recommend to family and friends but not those with small children.

Just home, unfortunately, from an excellent week in Los Alcazares.

Villa is wonderful and spacious and very well equipped. The air-con was a blessing! Had everything you need for a great family holiday. Felt very safe there, gated complex, and gates and shutters on the house. The local residents were strict regarding the pool. My 8 year old daughter got told off for having a pink inflatable ring, and was told to read the rules! Apparantly no inflatables are allowed in the pool! There's 2 pools in the complex, in the other pool there were children everyday with lilos, much to the locals disgust though! We were good and just took a small ball in!

We have three children 8, 4 and 2, the area was perfect for us. It is a lovely leisurely stroll down to the beach, approx 20 mins at our speed with the kids! My husband ran there in 4 mins!

Our youngest son has coeliac disease and we were worried about feeding him. We took everything with us, but need not have bothered! The local Mecadona is extremely well equipped, and all foods are marked "sin gluten" which are suitable for coeliacs to eat. Better than here in the UK! The local restaurants were very accommodating also, but we did prefer a BBQ on an evening, as the selection of fish in the supermarket was fantastic, and great value! Although the large Chinese (boat style) near the house is a must, 6euros for a three course meal with wine! It was gorgeous and plentiful.

The bars in the square are great. We usually had a large jug of sangria for 3.50euros. In the summer months there are little market stalls in the square and kids facepainting, etc on a weekend.

Glennis who looks after the house, was staying in her apartment, and was a lovely, friendly lady and very helpful. Thanks again Glennis!

The beach is beautiful, but as someone has said turn left and walk past the Sailing School until you reach the kids playground, the beach there is beautiful and very safe. No seaweed or rocks. The beach was very crowded with Spanish people on a weekend.

A must at the beach is to hire a VW Bettle style pedlo boat...it was 15euros, but allowed all 6 of us on it for an hour. It has a slide into the sea. The kids loved it!

Also a lady called Gloria has a minibus and can take you to and from the airport for 12 or 15 euros. Saves messing around with taxis. She also put booster seats in for the kids.

Well, we will definately be going back, but for 2 wks next time!

We stayed in the Lola with our family last year (September) and we could'nt have wished for more. The spacious accommodation meant we could do our own thing without getting in each others way. The roof terrace was great and the terrace was a nice place to sit, relax and enjoy a meal. I would certainly recommend this Town House to families - great value for money. Very clean and well maintained. The beaches were a 10 min stroll with restaurants near by. The pool area was near enough to the House to be able to have a dip whenever we felt like it. Will definitely be going back and would recommend to friends. The weather was amazing.
