We had a wonderful family holiday in the apartment with our 16 month old daughter. The 'gated' private patio area at the front of the apartment was perfect for safe play and the shade can be lowered as desired. It was also a good spot for relaxed home-cooked meals and sunbathing on the loungers (no need to fight for one!!). Being so close to the big, well-maintained pool was ideal. Literally outside the door. We bought tasty plates of tappas from the pool bar when we didnt fancy cooking, they always gave a smile. The other people in the apartment complex were friendly and our daughter played with other babies in the safe and large baby pool plus slide / seesaw around the back. We went in September when it was blissfully quiet. We explored the many sandy beaches, the nearest being only a 5-10 min walk, more secluded ones just 15-20 mins walk. All had showers to clean off etc. Mazarron has plenty of restaurants for all pockets, babies welcome. Seafood is great value. In addition to trying regional Spanish food, you will find Italian, French and our favourite Chinese buffet. Pick fresh meat and fish (including scallops) and they will cook it up in front of you, as much as you like. The choice is impressive and excellent value at 9 euros per head. On Sunday theres a big market to wonder around for a couple of hours. Dunk the fresh local donut fingers into hot chocolate or coffee. Buy a spit roast chicken to take back for lunch and choose salads / fruit from the various stands. Owners Mark and Ellen, were extremely helpful - they provided a welcome pack and arranged for us to be met by Brian at Murcia airport. He dropped us off at the apartment which was stocked with, soap, loo rolls, tea, milk and water. He even offered to get other essentials if we needed. The supermarket is 5 mins walk, we used the shopping trolley in the apartment to stock up. The place was spotless and had a travel cot / hair dryer / all required items in the kitchen etc. The fans on ceilings in every room kept the place nice and cool. The small complex is kept clean and tidy and the pool serviced every day. We would certainly recommend to other families looking for a charming, friendly and fun place to stay :)
