Apartment itself very tastefully decorated,bright and cheerful. playthings for children ie books dvds jigsaws etc. All other amenities within first class.Even a beach bag, first aid etc. Amazing thought gone into all of it. WELL DONE !!!!
Bettina herself so very pleasant and helpful from arrival to departure.

| "What can I say? This apartment is lovely! It is spacious, decorated to a very high standard and is spotlessly clean. It is bright, modern and airy with the sun shining on the balcony all day long (a big balcony at that). The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. The bathrooms have good quality modern sanitary ware…to hotel standard.
Bettina met us at the apartment and showed us around, she really made us feel very welcome and we felt at home straight away.
The grounds are very well maintained and the pool is clean. The whole complex was very quiet (late September) and we had a very relaxing week.
There are lots of restaurants and bars nearby but my advice would be to take a short walk along the beech to Cabopino as the restaurants are much nicer there.
There is a new supermarket just up from the apartment where you can buy English as well as Spanish produce.
Should I return to the area I would stay at this apartment again as it was simply splendid…thanks Bettina!

Bettina was very helpful and made every effort to ensure our stay was hassle free and as comfortable as possible. Many a night was spent on the large balcony enjoying the peaceful surroundings and lovely gardens below. My only regret was that time passed so quickly ! Many thanks to Bettina for her care and assistance and I would not have any difficulty recommending this apartment to anyone else. Hopefully we will be back very soon !"

| "The apartment is lovely, clean and fresh. Its a very comfortable size with two showers, which is really great if it gets really hot!
The proximity to the major towns is a big advantage. Its only €1.20 to Fuengirola and €1.87 to Marbella on the buses, which are great too.
The complex is full of really nice restaurants and bars if you dont fancy heading off.
All in all, its a great place for relaxing and enjoying yourself, and youre only a bus trip away from nightlife. Excellent all round.

May 2009 - Great value for money, excellent apartment, well presented and decorated with good taste, equipped with absolutely everything and more for a self catering holiday. The walk in shower was a big plus as was the en suite with bath and shower, comfortable for all age groups. Very quiet and enjoyable 5 day break, relaxing on balcony which overlooked the well maintained gardens and swimming pool with jacuzzi. The supermarket and restaurants are a short stroll from the apartment and the beach, approximately 10 minute walk. Would definitely recommend to friends and family, and I congratulate the owner for her communication skills and personal touch."

Ideal location, near beach and shops. Quiet area though, with well maintained gardens and pools.
The apartment was spotlessly clean.
We will be back."

The situation is fantastic, with great views of the pool exactly as shown on the site and enough restaurants and shops within 2 minutes walk to keep us happy for a week at least. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, ensuring we had a cold beer on arrival and food for breakfast on our first morning. Its also worth saying that the surrounding gardens and pool are also immaculate - very child and sun seeker friendly! Bettinas welcome and attention to detail make you feel as if youve landed in the lap of luxury for a few days - worth every euro!"

| "A beautiful, neat and tidy apartment very close to the beach and exactly as descibed in the advert. We would thoroughly recommend this apartment to anyone be it couple looking for short break, small family or retired people for relaxation.
The apartment is very close to the beach and amenities. The host was very attentive and communication both before, during and after our stay was excellent (10/10). The pool and garden on site are both clean and almost deserted while we were there.
Our only 2 comments are that there is no washing machine (we knew as not listed in the advert) and we thought although you do not need a car (buses and taxis within a couple of minutes walk) we would recommend one especially if you want to venture further afield.
With these 2 points in mind overall we have to give a 9/10 and would most certainly use again."

| "My husband and I spent the month at El Zoco in March, we had a lovely time the apartment was very comfortable with plenty of room. Bettina had left a lovely bottle of wine some chocies milk and much needed teabags to start us off. The gardens were lovely well maintained we spent many an afternoon by the pool (not in it too cold) Yes there is a main road but we could not hear it from the apartment or gardens but it was great because we dont drive so the bus was great Marbella in 25 mins 1euro 85 single Fuengirola 20mins 1euro 15. We had lovely walks along the front stopping in our favourite watering holes La Capricha, Dona Lola and Royal Beach ending in Julies at cabopicho marina, of course getting the bus back. Thank you very much Bettina for making our first month long holiday so lovely. See you soon Joan and Rob"

"This apartment was beautifully presented, modern and well-equipped. It mirrored the information and the photographs on the website perfectly. The building is very well-maintained and the pool and gardens were immaculate. The location is really very good for accessing public transport to Marbella, Fuengirola and beyond. There really is no need for a car, local supermarkets are on hand to cater for most needs.
Calahonda itself had a relatively quiet beach and the walk to Cabopino (a short distance away) was worth it. A lovely setting.
Bettina communicated with us regularly before our stay and couldnt have been more helpful. Bettinas contact - Keith, was also really helpful and informative. For the time of year the weather was very good. We had a great family holiday and intend to return."

So glad you enjoyed yourselves. Hope to see you back again very soon. Thanks for taking the time to do the review. Kindest regards Bettina

Everyting was on our door step and accesible for us to get around.
The surrounding and gardens were a pleasure to relax around. The apartment was tastefully decorated and had all the essentials you require on holiday.
A delight to stay in and suitable for all ages."

Immaculate, clean, convenient to all amenities. Spent most mornings before breakfast in the pool swith the kids.
All furnishings and white ware as new - seemed a shame to cook!!! - but we did lots of cooking - all utensils and hardware perfect/spotless.
Nice to have 2nd shower room - ideal for the kids as nice and low wirh taps etc that could be reached and controled by ease even by a 5 and 4 year old.
I will definately be retuning in the near future and this apartment would be a first choice at all times.
Ecellent holiday, enjoyed by all - even i relaxed as soon as i arrived.
Collected from the airport by Keith one of Bettinas friends - no need for a car - bus service very good. Local supermarkets had everything you wanted - meat/fish especially good. "

The pool is a lot bigger than the photos show, it was never overcrowded and there were times we had it all to ourself! We never went without a sunlounger, no matter what time of the day we went down. The apartment complex is absolutely gorgeous and really well maintained. We had a lovely ten days staying here, and really didnt want to leave! I would highly reccommend this apartment to young people, couples and families it has everything you need on your doorstep. Thanks Bettina! Especially for helping us sort out transfers with the lovely Keith!

We had an extremely wonderful time. We felt like we were hidden away in a lovely quiet place yet just 10 mins drive in either direction to all the hussle and bustle if we wanted it.
No question about it we will definitely be coming back and will certainly recommend to family and friends.
From the bottom of our hearts...Thank you Bettina for making our holiday a very enjoyable stay. We really didnt want to leave!!!!"

The pool and gardens are equally as great and make for many good sunbathing days. The surrounding area (2-5 min walk) has all the bars and restaturants you would need. No car is required as the buses are so cheap and reliable though a car may be preferred for families. Marbella is a beautiful town and beach and a visit is highly recommended! Overall, had a fabulous time in Bettinas apartment and would recommend to anyone who is after a relaxing holiday in the sun. Thanks so much Bettina, from the Welsh Girls."

"Excellent apartment, perfectly finished. This apartment is plenty big enough to suit a family of 5 comfortably. Quiet complex and close to walk to all local amenities. Bus routes are regular and cheap but would recommend car hire if going as a family. Local beach is poor if I'm being picky but Cabobino is lovely and only 5 minutes drive away. Overall highly recommended!!!"
Owner reply:
:
So glad that the 3 of you had a good time. Cabopino is great! I hope you tried La Dispensa out they do the best Pizza's/Pasta if not try it next time. Hope to see you back again soon Regards Bettina

The pool is nice and quiet and there are various shops, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep. Calahonda is a residential area between fuengirola and marbella, its not great for getting around with a buggy and 2 babies but once we had hired a car it was perfect as cabopino beach was only 5 mins drive away - a lovely beach with some great cafes and restaurants, marbella was only 15mins drive and puerto banus was about 20mins so it was perfect to explore the different beaches and places around."

You really cannot beat the location or the quality of this apartment. The pool and surrounding grounds are really beautiful. You would be hard put to find such a lovely apartment with a fantastic location. I would highly recommend this to families, sngles or just about anyone really. I will be visiting again in the near future. No need for car rental if you dont want to!"

"We are the first people to stay, and found the apartment clean fresh and airy.
There was 3 adults and 2 kids, perfect size for us.
Nice to have a new apartment instead of an old dated one. Its in a great position and for the first time we didn't hire a car.
The grounds are lovely, great swimming pool and really lovely gardens. We will definitely be back next year.
