I came back to stay again, but it was booked, so the owner gave me the option to take her other apartment, with many upgrades; I took it right away and it was well worth it!!
Once again, the level of quality I experienced, exceeded my expectations! When she said upgraded apartment, she really meant it, so many nice things, true luxury!! The apartment is on a good high floor, providing stunning views, right on the beach. An elevator provides private access to the beach and the apartment. The owner was very communicative and helpful with clear instructions. My wife (and her back) loved the bed mattress and beddings and with the room darkening curtains, we slept extra late and recovered well from the long plane flight. We were really impressed to find our choice of pillows and the sun awning could be opened/closed, with the press of a button, directly from my side of the bed. The owner provided a bottle of Cava (Champagne) as a welcome gift, and the kitchen came stocked with initial coffee, tea, water and milk The furnishings are modern and new, including waterfall shower and bathroom sink, beach towels, shampoo and a good quality hair dryer; even a safe! - No need to overpack, since there is a washer/dryer for cleaning your clothes. With the light weight duvets and properly fitting duvet covers, everything felt so fresh and crisp! The convenience was exceptional, since there are many shops, a bakery, restaurants, private parking, even bus, taxi or car rental transportation at the street level of the building; plus an on-site doctor and pharmacy! I enjoyed the hiking trails just across the street into the mountains and jogging along the beach walking path. Next time I will go biking, I heard the routes are plentiful and challenging, with many great views and adventures! The ocean is warm and the beach sand is soft (not rocky), it is a short walk in either direction along the beach path, to other major resorts with activities, including; jet skiing, parasailing; speed boating; paddle boating, etc. Certainly, from this single location, I had the best of all I could imagine, without the high expense of the surrounding resorts. Clearly the owner has figured out how to make something special for good memories. I think I found a secret gem, this is my target for future holidays! Hope this helps!
