great apartment- great location - apartment had everything you would need for a great holiday - would recommend and would definately use again thanks |
Guestbook for Don Joaquin
The apartment was perfectly situated, tucked away up a quiet little road but still very close to the beach, marina and several supermarkets and restaurants.
The complex was well maintained, the pool was clean and security good. I did not have a car but as everything is so close that was not an issue.
Most apartments appeared privately owned and family focused so there were no rowdies at night.
The apartment was very spacious, had everything you could have asked for and more. It was very clean and well maintained .

"First of all thanks for the use of the apartment, it exceeded our expectations in both quality and location and made the break most enjoyable, I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment and look forward to revisiting. Based on the Golf courses we played Cala Nova, Santa Clara & Santa Maria one can only assume others would be to the same high quality we experienced."
L. Smith UK, Sept. '08
“The apartment was great, had everything we needed and we had an excellent week. Bed was very comfortable and introduction pack comprehensive and informative. Boys fell in love with the park and we visited several times - highly recommended but disappointingly ran out of time to ice skate although we had some excellent meals, some long walks. Would definitely use your apartment again if available as is ideal for our needs so will be in touch sometime in the future. “
