Apartment was great, we had minor issues getting into the apartment but the hosts swiftly helped rectify. Only downfall is location and access to Nerja, very hilly and difficult with a 2 year old, car was essential but that'a totally out of the owners hands 🙂.

Regarding the plastic outdoor chairs on the terrace, the sun is very strong in spain and the plastic gets very fast a bit grey from the sun, but we change them out every year, so next time you come there will be new once.

We know the various Capistrano urbanisations in Nerja well and we used to own one in Capistrano Village. The outlook from Frederik's balcony is amazing and better than any we have stayed in previously. We experienced no problems whatsoever during our stay and we can highly recommend this property to others

Our stay here was very nice. The unit is exactly as shown in photos. It is well appointed… we especially appreciated the comfortable beds and extra touches like the grocery trolley & umbrella. As in many places in Spain, there are lots of stairs to get to the unit so this may need to be considered if someone has mobility issues. Likewise, it is a 15-20 walk to the beach and steep grades to get there. Overall, we loved this place and would gladly return in the future.

The apartment is Ideal for couples. Private sun bathing. 3 swimming pools. Excellent views of the tropical gardens. A 25 minute walk into Nerja for all shopping and restaurants / coffee shops. Only 15 minute walk to Mercadona supermarket. No need for a car and local bus service and taxis available. Kitchen and Patio great for alfresco dinning, but some great restaurants in Nerja - el Ninos, La Bottega and Vitaliano da Christina all highly recommended.

A lovely apartment with all the facilities we needed. The Oasis de Capistrano is a well-maintained resort with beautiful tropical gardens and great pool areas. There are a lot of steps to the property so not for those wiith mobility limitations but we enjoy a walk and enjoyed strolling down to the Balcony of Europe (beautiful and popular viewpoint) area where bars and restaurants are. We would often get a taxi back. We didn't hire a car and found we could manage happily without one. The local supermarket is just 10 minutes away and we also enjoyed a lovely meal at the Deolinda restaurant which is very close to the complex. Fredrik was very helpful and easy to communicate with. There was a slight issue with the key lock box when we first arrived at the property, but Fredrik was easy to get hold of by phone and it was easily sorted out with just a phone call. Our daughters are older teens/ early 20s and enjoyed the Burriana beach. We also enjoyed a lovely day out in Malaga going around the centro historico which is an hour away by bus from Nerja bus station The buses were easy to use and way better than in the UK. A great area for a holiday.

Lovely apartment in a nice quiet setting close to local amenities
As a family of 4 with 2 young children we enjoyed a very relaxed stay in this lovely apartment. Oasis de capistrano is a well maintained complex with lovely pools which wasn't overly busy even in the height of summer. The apartment was spacious, clean and well equipped - it had everything we needed for our stay. It was very easy to access from the airport by car. Nerja is a great location for families, Burriana beach is beautiful and has lots of lovely restaurants and shops, it's easy to spend either a lovely day or evening there. The balcon de Europa was also lovely, there's a small restaurant right underneath called rey alfonso where we had a lovely paella, which had beautiful views. We had a lovely holiday here and would love to return. It comes highly recommended.

We had a really lovely 2 month stay in this apartment. Communication and booking process was excellent. We needed extra bedding for the longer let and this was provided instantly. We were comfortable and found the kitchen adequate for our needs, as we tend to spend a lot of time eating in at the apartments we rent, long term.
One thing to note, there are lots of steps to the apartment, it kept us fit. As older renters, it was a disadvantage over a longer period but the owners have a very useful large shopping trolley, great for carrying bottles of water, etc. The supermarket is about a 10/15 minute walk away, a real bonus. The outside furniture is a little tired but functional. We like the Oasis de Capistrano urbanisation for its tranquility and beautifully gardens.

I dont normally leave a review, just thought this would help. The location is beautiful, complex is clean & well kept. Pool snack bar was never open. Beds are 2€ each to hire, no inflatables are allowed in the pool. We found the smaller pool across the road nice to use, often quiet. No beds available there!
The complex is very hilly, steps to the apartment. If you walk into Brianna you will have a hilly hike back. We are active people, so was ok with this. Old town Nerja is around 1.3 mile walk each way.
The apartment was clean and the host easy to contact. We arrived at 12.30 at night and are used to having at least a bit of milk for a brew. Minimal loo roll, no hand wash. Just a few little things, hubby went to the shop first thing.
Some items in the kitchen are a bit tired and should be replaced. The handle on the frying pan was very lose and did fall off in my hand whilst using it. Melted handles on the knives, couldnt find a chopping board.
Shower has a mind of its own and you do battle trying to get it to stay in place whilst trying to wash, tray gets very slippy and needs a non slip mat. My husband did slip but managed to catch the handle.
Previous reviews referred to the outdoor furniture being worn, not just sun damaged, cracked. This does need replacing. I took photos.
Host recommended Malaga Car Hire. These were brilliant, would use again.
We did have a relaxing stay here, just a few changes needed in my opinion.

En mycket trevlig lägenhet med all utrustning man behöver under en semestervistelse. En skön terrass med sol i stort sett hela dagen. Området Oasis Capistrano har en underbar trädgård och sköna pooler. Som dem flesta andra pooler är dem inte uppvärmda och i november är det ca 18 grader.
In och utcheckning fungerade perfekt och vid behov/frågor var det enkelt och snabbt att få kontakt med värdarna Fredrik och Ulrika!
Kan varmt rekommenderas.

Todo muy bien, la limpieza todo ordenado y como se esperaba, tuvimos un problema con utensilios de cocina y la comunicación fue correcta, la única pega quizás es el horario de piscina muy corto y pensado para turismo inglés, entiendo que la situación de este año n o acompaña pero si que es cierto que se debería de especificar en el momento de hacer la reserva del apartamento ya que lo pregunte y se me dijo que todo funcionaba con normalidad, no es asi,.
La zona es una maravilla y la urbanización cuidada al detalle da gusto, la verdad... Sin lugar a dudas repetiría y lo recomiendo.
Gracias por todo.
Bra läge med sol på terassen hela dagen. Fina omgivningar. Kan gärna återkomma.

Lovely peaceful location
On arrival we couldn’t get into the apartment as we had been given the wrong code to access the key. We phoned Steven the caretaker who arrived within a few minutes to let us in. The apartment was very clean and modern however we were surprised to see several notices around the place saying ‘don’t remove the air con remotes from the wall holders or your full deposit will be taken’ ‘don’t leave the air con on during the day or your full deposit will be taken’. We have been on many self catering holidays but have never come across this before. I’m sure the majority of holidaymakers are sensible adults and shouldn’t need reminding of this!!
It would have been nice to have the basic essentials on arrival I.e. coffee, tea etc as many other property owners provide. We couldn’t work the induction hob and as there were no instructions we had to phone Steven again for assistance. He didn’t know how to work it either and after turning the electric on and off then pressing a few buttons it eventually came on. The same thing happened the following night so we just googled for instructions this time. Might be an idea to have the instructions on hand for those who are only used to gas/electric hobs.
We had to tie the shower head up with cling film as when it was turned on it kept dropping round and turning towards the wall.
The complex itself is beautiful. The gardens are very well kept and the location is very tranquil. We spent many evenings sat on the balcony with a glass of wine watching the sun set. We wouldn’t hesitate in staying here again.

Dear Jo
Thanks for your review and we are happy to hear that you liked the Oasis Complex.
Here some answers on your points:
1. Yes you are right, the majority of holidaymakers are sensible adults but there is a few that are not and with these reminders we are trying to avoid damages to the apartment so all our tenants can arrive to a nice apartment. I hope you understand us here.
2. About the induction hob, until today we have not had any problems, but good idea. We will put up an instruction for the hob in the kitchen and on our homepage where you will find all the other instructions as well.
We would like to thanks you for this rental time and wish you warm welcome back again!
