Stayed for a week with my husband in September 2017 in this extremely well presented appartment. There is a private gated car park if you have hired a car, and private entrances to either the roadside, or opposite, to the beach and boardwalk. There are 2 very nice pools, with grass areas to sit and relax. The appartment itself is situated down one flight of stairs, and there is also a lift. Once inside the spacious appartment, you will walk passed the bathroom, into the kitchen area which is full of all the necessary utensils etc. to feel at home. You then continue into the living area with the 2 bedrooms to the left. There is a good size TV which has freeview British channels. The airconditoning units in the living area and bedroom are outstanding. The free wifi is also really good and gets excellent coverage throughout the appartment and terrace. There are 2 exits onto the terrace, one through the living area, and one through the main bedroom. The bed in the main bedroom is a little soft if you do prefer a hard mattress. The terrace is situated next to the outside stairs to the beach, so occasionally you will have people waking past, however this doesn`t feel intrusive at all. This was our second stay in Calahonda, and this appartment was far superior than the first. The location was perfect for us, right on the start of the boardwalk which runs along the coast. The beach was very well kept, with massage table charging from 25 Euros for a half an hour massage. The Luna beachbar was always available for cold drinks and good food. However we would recommend have a stroll along the boardwalk in the afternoon to the Los Rocas beach bar at the opposite end. One, to burn off some of those holiday calories, and two, Jim, Mags, Karen and Andrew at Los Rocas will give you a great welcome, and serve great food. They also serve cider which my husband was thrilled with.

Calahonda is full of bars and restuarants without having that `nightclub` culture.

If your idea of a great holiday is to relax in the sun, have a nice breeze of the sea, enjoy a few drinks of an afternoon then go out to one of the excellent restuarants in the evening, then do it all again the following day, the this appartment is the one for you. Would rebook in a heartbeat.
