Panaramic sea view. Spacious apartment
The size of the apartment is very good. Spacious and comfortable. The sea view is panaramic and the patio area is not overlooked. The rooms are very spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. The furniture is modern and the property is in good decorative condition. We had a lovely stay and booked for the following year in the same apartment. Will definitely return indefinitely. Very good value for money.
Bed mattresses are uncomfortable and need upgrading. Quilts rather than numerous blankets for winter stays would be preferable.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Feb 2025
Many thanks for your constructive criticism, it is always welcome, we will look into the mattress situation. As for the blankets, I'm afraid, this is down to the owner and as long as there are either/or, we cannot enforce onethe other in particular.
We look forward to welcoming you again next year!

Great location, fantastic views, responsive service in a spacious apartment
Enjoyed the enclosed balcony since we were there in the winter months. Convenience of the boardwalk and shopping.
Duvets rather than blankets as we were there in the winter months. Baking tin for the oven. Didn’t like the bathroom barn door as it was very noisy would be nice to have a light in the bathroom without the extractor fan if not showering.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Nice big apartment in an easy to access location for a reasonable price.
Great location! It was very easy to get to the pools, restaurants, beach, and boardwalk. Several grocery stores were a little far away and not convenient to walk to, but easy to drive to. It's literally a few meters to the highway.
While the main pools were very nice and were technically open, they were unfortunately way too cold to use. It was nice that there was a heated "adults only" pool as well, but they allowed kids during our stay because the other ones were basically unusable.
The apartment itself was nice enough, very open, airy, and had a spectacular view. The floor attracted dirt like crazy though and made walking around barefoot very uncomfortable. The furnishings were also cheap Ikea stuff, so not very comfortable (chairs, beds), nice (laundry machine, cookware) or even safe (kitchen knives). Honestly, it was about what you'd expect for an average for-profit short term rental.
The proprietary check-in and communication portal just screams "phishing attempt" and is very risky to follow-up with. I would expect them to utilize the platform on which the location was booked (VRBO in this case). Once the check-in was completed though, getting into the unit was super easy and the staff was very friendly.
So overall, while there were a couple of minor pain points, it was a nice stay and I would recommend it for anyone spending a week in the Malaga area.

Many thanks for your comments, we are pleased you enjoyed most aspects of the property, the complex and the surrounding areas.
All constructive cristism will be taken on board.
Overall a good experience. Because we arrived after-hours we picked up keys from separate locker. It was a bit of a hassle to find the right building, since the map provided was not very clear or detailed. So we wandered around for about half an hour before finding the right building.The pictures of the apartment are as advertised, with one exception. There are a few buildings in front of the apartment. While they do not hinder the view to the sea, there are still a couple of buildings. Kitchen well equipped. While a tiny detail, although cutting knives are in need of sharpening quite a bit. Cutting, for instance bread, was more sawing than cutting. For us cooking most of the food at home, this was a minuscule annoyance.There was a bit of unclarity regarding the information about the usage of the pool. In some of the instructions it said heated outdoor pool only for adults, which scared us a bit since we had 3 children with us. But after checking with the consierge at the spa/gym, they informed us the rules were only for 2024. However, since being Spain, rules might change so if you are travelling with children and plan to use the heated outdoor pool, check this in advance.Indoor pool required a swimming cap. It could be rented/bought at the spa reception for 3.Balcony was glassed, and very warm throughout the day. So even in mid February is was quite nice spending time on the balcony. There were too many chairs and tables on the balcony, so a bit cramped.

Many thanks for you comments, all constructive criticism is very welcome as this helps us to improve our services in general.
We are pleased to read you had an enjoyable stay and hope to see you again in the future.
La vue est magnifique, la grandeur de l’appartement était bien pour 2 adultes et 3 enfants. L’utilisation de la terrasse serait compliquée avec une personne supplémentaire car elle est petite et le mobilier prend beaucoup de place. Les matelas mériteraient d’être changés. L’emplacement est top, à deux pas de la mer. Il y a beaucoup de places de parc devant.Le nettoyage de l’appartement n’était pas optimal mais cela ne nous a pas empêché de passer un excellent séjour à Mijas. Malgré quelques points d’amélioration, nous recommandons ce logement pour passer de belles vacances!

Bien
Super bien situé mais complexe un peu vieillot. Échafaudage juste en-dessous de nous = bruyant
Étagères poussiéreuses dans les placards, joints dans la douche principale étaient noirs, planche de toilette principale de travers, pas de volet dans la seconde chambre… appartement plus basique que ce que je pensais. Impossible d’y loger ou y être confortable à 7, heureusement que nous n’étions que 3!

Concernant les points que vous avez soulevés, nous nous excusons pour la poussière dans les placards et les joints de la douche. Nous faisons en sorte d’assurer un entretien régulier, et nous aurions pu intervenir rapidement si vous nous aviez prévenus.

Très beau domaine
L'appartement très propre offre une vue incroyable sur la mer. Le domaine est magnifique et très bien entretenu.
L'emplacement est idéal, au calme et à 2 pas de la mer et d'un chemin parfaitement aménagé qui permet de faire 4 km en partant à droite et idem à gauche.
Accueil parfait, personnel sympathique.
Nous étions une famille de 5 dans l'appartement avec 3 ados qui ont trouvé que les lits simples étaient trop petits pour eux et pas très confortables. Ils conviendraient plutôt à de jeunes enfants.
