Our Special Holiday
Snoopy Lancashire
Me and my husband were absolutely delighted with the apartment and our holiday in Almeria. This was a surprise a 50th birthday so I wanted it to be special. We arrived on the 27th December and left on 3rd January.
We could see the new year fireworks along the front from our apartment the view was fantastic, we were not disappointed with anything. The apartment was exceptionally clean and had everything that we needed for our stay.
The weather varied between 7-13 degrees during the day which was great for us as we are not so keen on it being too hot and planned on sight seeing (The Good The Bad and the ugly locations)!. Occaisionally the sun burst through and was wonderful just chilling outside the cafes and drinking a coffee with the locals.The nights where cooler to 5 -7 degrees but comfortable enough to walk along the front to the cafes and bars.
Just a very short distance Mojacar is wonderful with small cafes and great views , it is well worth a visit. The beaches around the area were quiet (we preferred this) due to the winter season and everywhere was noticably clean.
Great for small or big kids frisby throwing and playing ball etc. We flew into Alicante airport from Manchester but a quick and easy 2 hours drive to the apartment.Mini Hollywood and Tabernas was everything we expected and made our holiday.
We have come away with fantastic memories. We would highly recommend this apartment and thank you again Iverna and Martha.

Las Cumbres II October 2010.
Ian&Fran Leicester
We stayed for a week in October looking to use the accomodation as a base to explore the area and to tie up some loose ends on a property purchase. The standard of accomodation is first class with quality fixtures and fittings and the views from the balconies are amazing. If you are an early riser you can sit and watch the local fishing fleet going out to sea whilst the sun rises over the horizon.
In the main bedroom the double was huge, and in the second bedroom there is a double and bunk beds. We did not need to use the aircon in the bedrooms but they are a high spec with remote control so your life really is made easy. We never used the two available swimming pools but did check them out just in case and I have to say you are spoilt for choice, even in late October you could happily spend all day sun bathing by either of the pools.
The main balcony has a side and roof awning that is vital as the breeze off the mountains can be brisk at times, but with this down the balcony was like a second living room and was ideal for al fresco dining. Normally when we holiday we tend to eat out a lot, but the facilities were so good that we didn,t need to, it really was for us a home from home.
There is loads to do in the local area and a visit to Mojacar Pueblo is a must, and if you pick one town to visit the local market then go to Cuevas De Almanzora on market day to see real Spain. For fish lovers Garrucha just along the coast is the main fishing port in the area with traditional Spanish bars serving fresh fish and tapas.
The cheapest flights from the UK by a mile are from Stansted to Alicante on Ryan Air, and the money you save will almost pay for car hire for a week, so it is well worth doing as you will need a car if you are looking to see more than just Mojacar Playa.
If you are really adventurous then take a trip into the Almanzora Valley where you can sample rustic Spain amongst the Orange and Lemon groves and stop off at any local bar for the regional tapas of garlic snails.
We were so pleased with everything the apartment offered that we have booked a week at the end of January 2011. That really says it all.
Happy holiday.

Relaxing Holiday Apartment With Stunning views
Wag Wales
Just returned from eleven nights in Mojacar. The apartment has stunning, uninterrupted views and is in a great central location for all the local bars, restaurants and the beach.
We were provided with a welcome pack of tea, coffee, water and milk which was greatly appreciated.
Very good variety of restaurants to choose from with something to suit everyone's taste. Smugglers on the main strip is Canadian owned and serves very generous portions. Los Amigos and Beachcomber and also Arriba bar very good food and friendly service. The ice cream parlour is to die for with a great variety of flavours, drinks and desserts. The Lua bar is a must just for the decor!
We were provided with the name of a local contact should we require anything during our stay. Also, beach towels, beach toys etc were provided. Would recommend this apartment..

Dream Holiday Location
John , Marie, Conor & Barry Kildare, Ireland
My wife, two boys (15 & 12) and I have had the most wonderful holiday in Mojacar. Apart from the amazing location, the apartment we rented was just perfect. The location is literally minutes walk from the beach and shops, restaurants and bars but far enough away not to be discturbed by any noise at all at night.
In fact the only road noise we did hear from time to time was the ancient fresh bread van at about 11.30am each morning! . The facilties and layout of the apartment were great with two spacious air conditioned bedrooms which both have doors onto the balcony . There is a 6 place table and quality sun beds there, but even at that there is plenty of space.
The views to the left are of the mountains and to the right and in front is the vibrant blue sea. To go to sleep at night to the sounds of the waves lapping the shore is very relaxing.
The lads loved the very private pool and even though it is shared, most days they had it to themselves. The provision of parasols and beach 'toys' was an added bonus and my wife regularly took to the beach to pass a few hours reading and taking the sea air.
In 20 holidays in 20 years, we have never come across a more restful, private, well equiped, maintained and clean property. All in all, this apartment deserves the title 'spectacular' and we'll certainly be back soon. We will be recommending the place to all our friend too !!! John, Marie, Conor & Barry. Kildare , Ireland.

I'll be back next year!
Julia Los Angeles, CA, USA
I've just returned from six glorious weeks at this amazing apartment. Clean and with all the comforts of home, this apartment far exceeded my expectations.
If you choose to actually leave the apartment (not necessary as the view of the Mediterranean from the terrace is spectacular and you have a pool at your fingertips), the beach and many fantastic bars and restaurants are just steps away.
I enjoyed every minute of my stay here and will be back next year!

Easter Break
Gwhizz Tipperary, Ireland
Good location but you'll need a car as like most properties in this area they are built on a hillside. The apartment was clean and decorated to a good standard with a perfect view of the sea and coastline below.
Plenty of local bars and restaurants and English language spoke everywhere. My wife and two teenage girls stayed for a week and would recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to holiday along the Mojacar Playa region.

long lazy days
eme ireland
We lazed and then..... we lazed again. Ate outside under the sun awning , watched the ships on the horizon......read our own and most of the books kindly left in the apartment......and lazed some more perfectly placed with a view of the sea...
We used our rental car to visit restaurants on the far end of town, the markets locally, a couple of potteries, beaches further down the coast - nice to have it - but not essential. We mostly ate locally, and wandered home after a few scoops
I really appreciated the beach umbrellas and mats provided, but mostly made use of the sun loungers on the large balcony...Lovely apartment - quiet, well furnished - and appreciated the welcome pack when we arrived - We'll be back E

April 2009
Gina&Dave Midlands
My husband and I stayed at this apartment in April 2009 together with my then 3yr old son. Had a fantastic time. The apartment was well equipt and offered a very comfortable base. The view from the terrace was exceptional and the apartment itself a very short distance from the main stretch.
We hired a car as we enjoy to expore and found some wonderful and welcoming restaurants a little further down the road (although there is plenty of choice close by too). The apartment was immaculate and the customer service prior to departure was excellent - lots of good advise about where to go and what to do.
We have visted the area twice before and have always found the locals friendly and welcoming, the weather too has always been great. We will certainly be staying here again as so convenient. Thanks again.

August in Mojacar
Pete, Sue, Louisa and Anna United Kingdom, Horsham, West Sussex
Thanks again for letting us use your lovely apartment in Mojacar, we all had a great time. The apartment was spotlessly clean and well maintained and had everything that we needed, very efficient air conditioning, swimming pools and just a short walk to the quiet sandy beach. The apartment is in the best part of Mojacar's playa.
Our sixteen year old girls spent a lot of their time near El Cruce in the big newish restaurant / club on the beach, I forget what it's called. We were quite content chilling out after midnight in the local upmarket openair beachside bars and clubs; Tito's, Lua and the club in between! (we really liked Lua).
The recent development is very sympathetic to the area. We liked the Paseo which was well lit all night and felt happy that the girls could walk back safely in the early hours. We all thought that your apartment and its location were excellent.
So much so that even though we had intended to eat out most evenings we actually did the opposite taking in the fantastic coastal views whilst eating on the terrace and occasionally watching the sunrise too. It was also good to be in a real Spanish holiday resort.
At the end of the first week we took a two day trip out to the Alhambra Palace in Granada, which is an experience that should be on everyone's agenda. Visits to the Palace are timed and need to be booked on line some weeks in advance of the visit.
We stayed at the excellent 4* Alhambra Palace Hotel which has an offer on the best doubles (B&B) with views right across the city for just over Eu100 in August if booked in advance, it's just outside the Palace grounds and has free parking. Take a sat/nav with you as driving in Granada is difficult!
We also spent a few evenings at Mojacar Pueblo (the village up on the hill) and watched a number of Flamenco events in the square whilst taking in the views across plains, we were also there for the start of the fiesta on the day before we left. We had great meals (Sea Bass, highly recomended) at the tiny Rincon de Embrujo restaurant / cafe on the plaza infront of the church.
I'd highly recommend the apartment for a relaxing beach holiday. Probably best to have a hire car to explore the area but the public transport is very efficient with buses running every half hour or so up to the village (Pueblo)and along the paseo until the early hours. Iverna, the owner provided great customer service before and during our stay and we would all highly recommend a stay here.

Lovely Apartment
JH2009 Dublin
We stayed in the apartment in the first week of October 2009. It's a really nice, spacious and well equipped place.
I would especially recommend it for families with young children as it really has all the home comforts for both looking after the kids and for parents staying in at night.
The hill up to the apartment is fairly steep for a pram so we drove most of the time. The terrace is very large and (in October anyway) gets the sun in the morning and evening. The view from the terrace is beautiful.
