Cozy Townhouse

Closeness to amenities, bank, shopping centre, bars and eating places are within a 5 min walk. Others a short 5 to 10 min drive away

Although the grill could toast bread a separate toaster would have been better as the grill takes to long to toast and probably is more expensive to run

No English to

Really nice

GREAT COMMUNICATION - GREAT LOCATION EXCELENT VALUE FOR MONEY WOULD DEFFINATELY BOOK AGAIN

Luckily I know the area as I owned a home on the other side of La Marina for 18 years and was using the property as a base. The kitchen was well equipped and the WiFi very good. The public swimming pool (La Marina Sports) is around a ten minute walk from the property and there is a small fee to use but worth the entry fee. The property is in close proximity to Tourist Information, the Dialaprix supermarket and should you want to travel further and have no car you can book a coach trip using Cala Rosa Tours which offer a pick up from the supermarket. There are a few restaurants nearby but better ones are the Grill House, around a half hour walk away or the Chinese near the Consum supermarket on the other side near Barclays Estate agents. If you get the chance to visit the beach I and you love Paella then you should book a table for the lunch time at Candela Restaurant, especially on Sundays as it is used by locals too.

The approach to the property was very stoney. I travelled with my 17 year old son who was going to sleep on the sofa bed but there was no extra bedding. Also the property is infested with cockroaches, there were at least 20 dead under the wooden unit and sofas, which we saw when my son accidentally dropped his mobile phone between them and had to move the sofa. The owner saying that Spain has a cockroach problem is not entirely true as I owned a property for 18 years and the outside was sprayed on a regular basis and use of products down wash basins and bath tubs etc. ensured they were not in the home. The roller blind on the front fell out of the roller mechanism one night leaving us unable to get out but someone quickly came and shoved a screwdriver in the top but we were unable to use for the rest of our stay and it went unrepaired. The bedding needs upgrading to cotton as it is very poor quality and better towels too. Pillows for the sofa bed could be left in the wardrobe. I believe the sofas need to be changed as the cockroaches are inside. The offer of a welcome pack of at least water would be useful too especially as we arrived later than expected and the supermarkets had already closed (Sunday).
