Great apartment

Apartment was lovely, very spacious, clean and brilliant outside space. Absolutely everything you would ever need. Only 15 minutes walk to the beach and supermarket down the road. If Mijas is somewhere you want to visit then definitely would stay here!

Amazing apartment!!

I just wanted to come on an leave this review as the place was absolutely amazing, so clean, so accommodating and in a fantastic location! Lidl on the door step, restaurants around the corner and the beach a 10/15 minute walk away. We have absolutely loved our holiday, we just wish we could have stayed longer. Everything we need was in the apartment, and Christine (cleaner/key collection) was amazing she helped us with getting places and talking in Spanish to our taxi airport drives and they didn’t turn up. The weather has been so hot, the pool area is so nice and everyone is friendly. We couldn’t of asked for a better holiday - we will definitely be returning. Xx

Very enjoyable holiday in lovely apartment

Cala de Mijas is the ideal resort to get around without the need to hire a car as there is a regular bus service, which is just what we were looking for. We stayed in this apartment for 3 weeks, and would have been happy to stay longer. The location was ideal - just a short walk to the supermarket, restaurants and beach. It's spacious, clean, with a wonderful outside area to eat and relax. We prefer to self cater as it offers greater flexibility and appreciated things such as hand wash, washing up liquid, washing powder, tea, coffee, even beach towels all provided - we have never known that before! Christine was there to meet us on arrival, checked with us later in the holiday that everything was okay, and was happy for us to stay in the apartment until ready to leave for our evening flight rather than check out early, which was a great help. We couldn't recommend this property more, and would love to return.

Perfection. Home from home.

The whole process of booking, check in, check out etc was simple and painless with the owners Steve and Sue readily available to assist whenever required. The apartment has a good layout with a very large balcony with dining table and chairs and sofa style seating to relax on. The balcony gets the sun in the morning and it was lovely to have breakfast there. I am struggling to think of any negatives, the only down side would be that there are no sun loungers at pool and unless you have foldable loungers you have to use the grass which is not too comfortable. The location is excellent, situated in a quiet area, 3 minutes walk to Lidl and a further 7 to 8 mins to the beach or possibly 10 mins to centre of La Cala. The apartment had everything to ensure a stress free break and Christine, who met us at complex was very helpful in explaining how various items operated as well as a folder which covered all aspects of apartment living, nice touch and very informative. Overall, a lovely apartment where we felt at home and would love to return to when we revisit La Cala. Many thanks to Steve and Sue for allowing us to use your apartment, a fantastic holiday was had by all. Kind regards Graeme and Bronagh.

Would love to stay again!

We loved our stay. Great communication from booking and throughout. The apartment was spotless, and bigger and better than the photos suggest! Great value for money. The pool and grounds were also pristine. Would definitely recommend to family and friends, and would love to stay again in the future. Thank you!

Lovely apartment

Can’t fault the apartment, it was very clean, spacious and modern with a large terrace. If you’re wanting to go the beach or into La Cala you need to be reasonably mobile as the only access is over a big bridge and the apartment is up a bit of a hill. We found some lovely places to eat out and also ate in a couple of nights.

Has everything you need !

This is a great property. Has everything you need for a great holiday. 2 good sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, nice lounge and dining area, and fully equipped kitchen. One of the best things for us, was the massive balcony, where there was a dining table one side and some matching sofas etc on the other ! Perfect for breakfast, lunch or even dinner, when we couldn’t be bothered to go out ! However there are plenty of restaurants in the town, which is only a 15 min stroll away. There wasn’t a local map of the town, but just turn left at Lidl and carry on down to the roundabout. Turn right and as soon as you walk under the main road, you are in the centre! The beach was only 10 minutes, take the same route, but use the bridge to cross the main road and follow the road. It takes you down to the gorgeous beach, with a choice of beach bars. The beach was never really bust and we were always able to get sun beds. 2 beds and an umbrella were 10 Euros. A few beach sellers about, but they were all very polite, so a hello followed by a no thank you is enough! We alternated between the beach and the pool. Again, the pool was never that busy, so we had some nice days there, going back for lunch on the massive balcony. All in all we had a great week there and I would definitely go back. We had some great early communication from the owners and they were very good is allowing us to leave our cases in the apartment until 5pm on the day we left, even though check out was 11pm. We just spent the 6 hours in Banalmedina Marina which was nice. We also had a lovely trip into Malaga to the castle and then walked down the hill to the old town, where we had a lovely tapas lunch. The Lidl supermarket is only a 2 min walk at the bottom of the road. This has everything you need at great prices and the bakery items are sooooo nice ! I highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay!

A modern, spacious & clean apartment, met our needs with a young disabled son. The apartment had everything we needed like at home, lots of utensils didn't come across something I needed and it wasn't in the apartment. There is a Lidl at the bottom of the hill which is very convenient. It was lovely having breakfast on the sunny balcony every morning. Throughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to friends.

Fantastic apartment!

This apartment has everything you need and has been thoughtfully fitted out to a high standard; it felt like a home away from home for us. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it to anyone and would definitely stay again. The large balcony is a great space to relax. There was good communication from both the owners and Christine, the property manager, leading up to our stay and Christine met us when we arrived to let us in. The apartment is in a lovely, secure, quiet complex which is 15 minutes walk to the centre of La Cala. There is plenty of parking and a Lidl at the bottom of the road. The only thing which could have perhaps improved our stay would have been an extra set of towels and bed linen as we were staying for 10 days but a very minor niggle. Thanks for a great holiday :)

Beautiful apartment in great location

The apartment is a true home from home with quality fixtures and fittings allowing you to get on with a relaxing holiday. It’s location is perfect for those seeking a quiet getaway within walking distance of supermarkets and restaurants and bars. The complex is perfect and not too far from the airport. We even stayed additional nights to maximise the experience and with fabulous walks including the boardwalk allowing you to appreciate the sea views there is plenty to do to keep active. All in all we had a brilliant time and recommend it to everyone. Young family travelling with a 16 year old and 12 year old.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Jenkins & Sue Crabb

Host profile image
We are both nurses, my wife semi-retired and me approaching retirement, children grown up and (nearly!) flown the nest, and wanted an investment to put our energies into, but one with massive benefits for us to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for its location in La Cala and the quality of the complex. When we were away in May 2014 for my 50th birthday, my wife and I spent a good part of the week viewing lots of different properties along the Costa del Sol, all along the coast, but when we visited La Cala de Mijas, instantly fell in love with the town. It was only a matter of time before we found the right property, and on the last day searching, thankfully we viewed the Alamar complex. It ticks all the boxes for us; close to the beach, town, golf, pool, beautiful countryside, not too far from the airport, cheap flights, and the building will last for many years!

What makes this property unique

The apartment sells itself; large 2 bedrooms, lots of terrace, and only a stroll away from the busy, yet relaxing town and beach of La Cala. There is an extra large terrace to while away the time relaxing/dining/chatting/sunbathing, and all the mod cons to make it a home from home.
