Minor gripes would be the beds - not very comfortable and all quite small. Plus shower in main bathroom wasnt the best.
Suggestion - a hair dryer would be a useful addition."

We are regular visitors to Benalmadena and found this the best property we have stayed in so far, its nice to have the garden to sit and relax in. If you find walking a bit of a struggle as one of our party did and you dont have access to a car then maybe not ideal due to the hills but we managed ok, ideal for Paloma Park and the market on wednesdays and fridays, would definately use this property again"

| "Your apartment was very well presented. We were met by a friendly and helpful English couple. On arrival the apartment was very clean and matched the description provided on the website. The kitchen was well equipped and it was also lovely to have a small garden to have a barbecue and eat outside. The pool area is a very good size and quiet,
There is a lot of entertainment nearby but the apartments were quiet although close to local amenities in Aroyo. If you look a bit further, especially if you have a car, you can find small quiet beaches away from the hustle and bustle of Benalmadena. There was a market just across the road twice a week.
Overall we had a very pleasant stay. Thank you"

| ""Thanks very much for letting us rent your apartment in Benalmadena. It was brilliant and exactly as it is on the internet, plenty of room, the garden was something we never had on holidays before, we really enjoyed having a few drinks outside. The two pools were excellent, the children had a great time in both of them. It was also very handy having the Managing Agent across the road if we needed any help. The apartment had everything we needed. We would highly recommend it to any of our friends and would love to go back next year." Chris, Ireland July ཅ"

| "We stayed at the apartment from 15th to 24th May 2009.WE would like to thank you for a great stay. Our party consisted of 4 adults, 2 in their fifties and 2 in their seventies. We hired a car at the airport and we were met on arrival by Janet the managing agent following excellent directions which were Emailed to us prior to our stay. Tha apartment complex had a secure remotely operated gate and we had a parking space reserved for us. Janet was very helpfull showing us around the apartment and explaining how all the appliances and air conditioning worked.
We had stayed in an apartment nearby last Christmas so we knew the location was good, close to the park and only a short walk to supermarkets and bars. The apartment is clean with all the facilities you could wish for including Sattelite TV, CD player and air conditioning. The garden and conservatory were ideal with the garden catching the sun in the morning and early evening. Overall we were very pleased with the holiday and the apartment. The only 2 negatives were the pool does not open until June ( A new rule concerning a lifegaurd having to be present apparantly) and a little noise at night from the water pipes which feed the apartment block which are situated near to the apartment. Otherwise I can say that we had a great stay and would not hesitate in recommending the apartment to family and fiiends.Thanks again
Phil Dingley."

""This apartment will suit everyone. The garden is safe & allows privacy for those sunbathing. The kitchen layout allows you to cook & keep a safe eye on children. Teenagers can sleep all day without noise disturbance & it has a good location being close to the stunning park. The apartment is well maintained and a first class base."

We will certainly consider you again in the future possibly when the pool is open. I was aware when I booked that this would be closed which wasnt a problem at the time but I didnt realise quite how hot it would be when we were out there (mid-April) - the weather was great and it would have been nice to have had use of the pool.
Thanks again for your efficiency in handling our booking and please also thank Jan (your property manager) for her helpfulness on our arrival. She made it clear that she was always available if and when we needed her. Jan, if you read this, dont mention the issue with the front door key!!

""Just to say we had a lovely week thank you. We were very pleased with the apartment and Janet was lovely and a lot of help. I would certainly say a 5* rating plenty of space for 4 adults, location to amenities, nice garden to sunbathe, secure, nice building, comfortably furnished, good kitchen and equipment. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the apartment to friends and family, it is well situated and there is plenty to do even in low season, Paloma Park is beautiful and just accross the road. We had a lovely holiday thanks, and would love to return some time in the future." Mr & Mrs Hardie, Glasgow. March 2009.

"The property was in an excellent location and was good value for money. We would stay there again. However I do feel that the appartment is in need of a little attention as the garden loungers were all broken and there was a broken lamp in the bedroom it would be better to not provided them than to have broken items. It would also be nice if the bedrooms had mirrors in them. But overall it is a nice appartment and the management agents are very nice and helpfull."
Owner reply:
:
We are pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and you would like to stay again. The apartment has now been checked after your stay, by our Managing Agent. She has had an electrician look at the bedside table light, who has assured us that although there is a small chip in the base it is perfectly safe. The garden loungers were replaced at the beginning of the year. She has checked these and found that one had indeed cracked, probably due to being left outside in the sunlight making the plastic go brittle. She has got rid of this one. The remaining 4 chairs are all in good working order. We have now added lounger cushions to make them more comfortable.

| "The apartment was excellent. It was absolutely spotless and equipped with everything one could wish for. The apartment was very well situated for either the sea front or Arroyo de la Miel. On the Wednesday the market opens just directly across from the apartment.
We had just one rainy day and the TV was a godsend.
If you have kids the small garden is a safe area for them to play in.
There were the odd noises from other guests and the sounds of flushing water, but on the whole these noises did not detract from it being a cracking well situateded wee flat.
I would recommend the place to anyone.
Janet Lomax the local agent was very helpful."

The apartment is well equipped and having stuff for the beach (buckets, spades, beach mats etc) available was useful. It is in a good location, which means you don't need to hire a car, being next door to the family park and just a short walk from the beach. The Town of Arroyo de la Miel is also close by.

"the appartment was well equipped clean and fairly well situated. as we were taking teenagers with us, the pool was an important factor for us but when we arrived we were told it probably wouldn't be open at this time of the year (early oct. temp was 24degrees). we were disappointed that arriving at 6pm after a 3 hour flight delay we were told the welcome packs we paid for were not there for us and were directed to the supermarket up the road. a nice stressfull start. the twin beds were reasonably comfortable but however the double was like sleeping on concrete and after 4 sleepless nights we moved out."
Owner reply:
:
We are surprised by your comments. We have had many clients stay at our apartment, some returning year after year and we have stayed there ourselves several times. We have never had any reports of any problems with the beds and have received some lovely reviews of how comfortable the apartment is. We are coming out to Spain in a couple of weeks and will check the beds to make sure that no springs are broken and all is ok. The law in Spain does require that swimming pools have to be supervised by a lifeguard. Unfortunately because of this private pools tend to close out of season in late October and this is something out of our control. Our web site does say there is a club nearby with the use of a pool and our Managing Agent would have been able to direct you there. With regards to the welcome packs, we emailed you to order these directly with our Managing Agent in Spain and our web site clearly states these are to be paid for locally, so you would never have had to pay via Villarenters in advance, Our Managing Agent has shown us correspondence you sent her and you never mentioned your request. She would have gladly supplied you with the few basic essentials but as the supermarket on the next road was open when you arrived she suggested you might like to stock up with everything else you needed for the week. Our Managing Agent is always so helpful and all our clients praise her and are really grateful for her service and advice. She gave you her mobile number and showed you her apartment just opposite to ours but said she never heard from you again until the day of departure, when you never mentioned you had moved out early. If you would have brought to either her or our attention any issues you had we would have done our best to rectify them during your stay, as it’s always our intention that our guests have a great holiday.

Nice clean swimming pool, although no sunbeds. People just lie on towels, which was not a problem.
Beach is 10 minutes walk. Great supermarket 5 mins away. Right by the park which was lovely. Train station about 10 mins.
Managing agent very helpful.
Would recommend, had a great holiday.

| "After a 9 day holiday of staying at this apartment I would most definitely recommend to anyone. The garden was especially ideal for family's with young children as it was completely fenced off and easily accecible from the lounge area.
Our stay was like home from home with the sky tv, well equiped kitchen and en-suite bathrooms's. The apartment also being spotlessly clean (something I do worry about beforehand). The only downside to the actual apartment was the beds were not the most comfy we have slept in and a bit on the small side as we are both tall people. However this would not put me off returning.
The apartment is ideally situated across from a lovely park - my two year old enjoying all the animals that were able to freely run around. Not quite as close to the beach or restaurants as I first thought, bit hilly for the less mobile or for those wanting to be lazy on holiday like myself! However we did have a hire car so not too much of a problem. The positive side to the location of this apartment is very quiet therfore had nine lovely nights sleep not woken once by noise.
Did'nt use the pool as beach was lovely,clean, and sandy for my two year old to build sandcastle's allday everyday.
Lastly we would like to say a big thankyou to the agent from this property for pointing us in the right direction for Restaurant's, Pub's, Day's out, etc and good advice on anything we needed to know.
You must go to the buffet chinese restaurant in the top town - Fantastic and Cheap! Sorry can't remember name.

"the property is clean and tidy and good location and quite large my only bad comments are in the main bedroom on the back wall runs the water system for the whole block and all night you have this teerible noise when someone either runs a tap or goes to the toilet we did not sleep for a week its quite loud, also the pool area is not very pleasant no sun beds and too many rules not much fun for kids."
Owner reply:
:
We are surprised by your comments. We have had many clients stay at our apartment and we have stayed there ourselves several times. We have never experienced the noise you refer to and have never had any reports of this before. We will ask our Managing Agent to look into this matter to see if it was something unusual. We supply sunbeds in the apartment for our guests use either in our private garden or up by the pool. The law in Spain requires that swimming pools have to be supervised by a life guard. We are sorry if this spoilt your childrens fun but it is something out of our control.

ery pleased to have SKY TV which really was a bonus. Air conditioning another bonus although personally I am unable to make full use of it because I suffer from asthma. Very nice spacious kitchen with everything needed.The garden was also of great benefit as my son due to illn ess if not very mobile. It was good to have safe parking for the vehicle we rented and to have a remote for the gates. The shopping trolley was very very handy for trips to supermarket and I was really glad of it.
Felt very secure in the apartment and found the estat e a very friendly place.

"This is a lovely apartment offering very good value for money which lived up to all our expectations. Everything was accurately described and if you need any help with anything all you have to do is make a local phone call. The apartment is ideal for couples and families alike and has a secure, private garden which is a real bonus and would be excellent for families with small children. The apartment contains everything you could wish for from iron to barbecue and is an ideal place to relax. There is plenty of entertainment a ten minute walk away and the beautiful park is just across the road. This was our second visit to the apartment and we would definately stay there again.
