The internal view of the lounge shows the patio doors which lead directly to our sun terrace. Most guests comment on how convenient it is to have a ground floor apartment so they can have direct access to the pool without going up and down lifts. Many golf courses are within easy reach and we can supply details of how to pre book courses at discount prices if required. Changeover dates can be flexible to make best use of budget airline flights. Short breaks can be considered. If you have a late availability flight please contact us for a late availability price. Many attractions are within a few minutes drive . Buses and taxis are available and although car hire is recommended the opening of train transport down to the beach and up to the shops/restaurants means a car is not essential. We also have someone available to do airport transfers cheaper than taxi prices. They are also willing to take you shopping and sightseeing so this could suit guests who do not wish to hire a car.
Wireless broadband is available as an optional extra to help keep down those nasty roaming charges by skyping home
The leisure centre has a fantastic range of facilities including spa, gym, tennis and Spanish paddle tennis courts (local charges payable). The Spanish regional paddle tennis championships are held here in August. If you are not feeling so energetic, there is a bar restaurant overlooking the courts where you can have a snack or buffet meal watching the tennis.
The road for walking or driving to Carvajal beach is now fully open and it also links directly to Carvajal station where you can catch a train to Fuengirola ,Malaga city or anywhere en route
We have got around the Spanish itv/BBC switch off by installing cable tv and now provide all the English channels plus Spanish and Scandinavian channels

In a nut shell, clean, well equiped and would stay here again.
Thank you for the excellent review. It was good to see all the things that can be done without a car as normally we hire a car and don't use buses
I might try the pitch and putt myself but the padel tennis sounds too energetic
Pleased you enjoyed yourselves and thank you for looking after our apartment

The apartment was ok. A bit dated but clean and spacious. The air conditioning was a god send.
I am sorry you were not able to use the train during your stay. Unfortunately it is out of my control and I have been informed that it wil be fixed soon.
I do state on the website that car hire is recommended.
The gardeners have now cut down the hedge so there is a better view of the pool
We run an annual maintenance programme and since you left we have replaced the suite in the lounge with a brand new Italian leather suite which wil be seen on the website. We have also replaced the old fridge with a brand new Bosch fridge freezer .
The cable TV and internet have also been upgraded so most channels are now hd and the internet speed is 300 meg.
I have informed our property managers about your positive comments on the cleanliness of the apartment
Lovely place, would recommend this clean & well equipped apartment on quiet complex
Thank you for your positive comments.
I am pleased that our property managers were able to change the fridge for you so it did not cause too much inconvenience.
Unfortunately the train is out of our control but we have been informed it will be working again soon.
We have been continuing our annual maintenance programme since you left and we now have a beautiful Italian leather suite in the lounge area. The cable TV has also been upgraded so most channels are now in hd and the internet speed is 300 meg fibre optic.

Location
Minutes away from the Spanish villages of Benalmadena Pueblo And Mijas Pueblo directly off exit 217 of the autovia a short drive or taxi ride from Malaga airport. Peacefully situated in the mountains but still with easy access to a sandy beach down a newly built road.Now with a train service hourly from the beach to the hotel and shops so a car is not absolutely necessary. Golf: We can help golfers by recommending courses we have personally played. Our favourite course for a leisurely game on a picturesque course where you can drive your sat nav buggy right up to your ball is Mijas Los Olivios. We can also recommend the clubhouse restaurant.Try Alhaurin for stunning views and a challenging course. Torrequebrada is one of the nearest courses and is a magnificent well established championship course. Another favourite of ours is Guadlahorce near Malaga which has a large Spanish membership and a beautiful old clubhouse.La Cala is a well known course in the mountains and I would always recommend a buggy here . The Spanish are starting to realise that many people like a good offer and many such as Mijas offer twilight packages at a healthy discount. All the courses mentioned are within easy reach as well as numerous others. Please contact us for further information
