Our holiday time was amazing, all of us - we, our girls and parents - enjoyed it thoroughly. The weather was great, no sign of any clouds, beautiful sun, lovely beaches around - nearest just 5 minutes walk! (although we especially liked puerto de mazarron), we drove around every day visiting nearby places for sightseeing and walks - la manga, cartagena, cabo de palos, local harbors. We loved staying at your villa - everything we needed was there, including all kitchen utensils and bbq; cupboard full of games and books, and also english tv available - all those were ideal for siesta time when it was too hot to walk aroung or sit in the sun! The swimming pool was brilliant - especially for late afternoons and our girls really enjoyed it. We have visited few local restaurants - there is a brilliant chinese place opposite Mercadona market, clearly our favourite! We also enjoyed fish restaurant in mazarron harbor as well. We were stunned when we found out how cheap spanish wine is! unbelievable! Both information folders - in English! - prepared by house owner (one full of info about the region and the other one with booklets and leaflets of all possible local places, starting with restarants, through water parks, golf course, etc) were such a great help and full of useful information, details and maps - considering we dont speak spanish even more helpful :) thanks for that. We have had amazing time and we'd love to go back soon! xxx |

Had a great two weeks in Sue's house, clean, comfortable and well equiped, even had plenty of beach gear. Playa Paraiso and surrounding area is clean and felt safe. The Mar was fun - warm and shallow [thigh deep] the first 30 meters or so in - so great for children. Limited number of shops and bar/restaurants but we found every thing we needed. The restaurant at the other end of the Prom [La Manga campsite] provided decent evening meals with the menu of the day priced at E10.50 pp for a three course with a bottle of wine for two thrown in. We loved the near by national park which has several idillic beaches, beach fishing/ snorkeling and walks. We prefer an easy going holiday and found everything we needed within a five mile radius. A car is useful but most places, including the National park beaches can be reached by bus [bus stop not far from house] and a nearby town has a train station to La Union and Carthagena. |
Guestbook for Playa Paraiso house
'A very high standard of accommodation in a nice quiet area (visited March time). The villa is clean, tidy, well equipped, spacious and offers the benefits of a separate upstairs room for added privacy. The location
provides an excellent base with the Mar Menor at the end of the street, the beautiful La Manga beaches a 3 minute drive away and the entrance to the national park 5 minutes away. The villa provides a lovely terrace for relaxing on. This was a safe accommodation for our 2 year old son. A lovely holiday was had by all. Great value for money and an easy drive from Murcia airport'. (Written by our very first visitor - March 2006)
The house was just what we wanted, well equiped. Weather good and all we needed for a holiday within
a few miles. We love the Cablanque national park and beaches, just what we want for a nice day out with with a picnic. So thanks for making it all so easy for us.(April 2011)
Clean and spacious. My parents appreciated the upstairs bedroom. And we all enjoyed the board games and DVDs provided. We enjoyed the National Park and the warm shallow sea.
Wow - sunbathing in January!
Thank you for the use of your house in Playa Paraiso, it was lovely, well maintained, clean and with plenty of facilities. We shall recommend it very highly to anyone who is going to this area.
We had a fantastic time in your house. The Mar Menor beach is incredible I have never felt so good. I loved this part of Spain. I will recommend your apartment to friends and colleagues. We would definitely book again
We had a fantastic holiday, your property is in a lovely location and the facilities are great. The kids loved the pool and the DVDs so as long as they were happy then we were happy.
Well kept villa, everything at hand. Area quiet but lots of eating nearby. Great weather, Mar Menor beaches great - sea very shallow and warm great for kids. Very relaxing holiday.
Villa ideal for family holiday. Beaches excellent for children and grown ups - shallow and warm. Convenient location for shops. All in all a great holiday.
Villa is like being at home. Georgeous weather. Agents very helpful and aproachable. We don't drive so had to walk everywhere but really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks.
Villa really nice - situated very well with sun always on a terrace. I would definitely return.
Great location to get to know the area better.
We loved your house - it really felt like being at home! You had everything that we needed to make the most of our time there! We loved the harbour town cabo de palos and were either there or on the strip most evenings.
One of the best holiday places in Spain. Wonderful for children and all the family.
We had a wonderful time in Playa Paraisio. Beautiful house, beautiful beach and very beautiful sunshine.
We had a lovely week in your excellent property. The highlights were the Calblanque National Park and the snorkelling in the Med. Altogether we had a memorable holiday.
Your house is lovely, had everything we needed and more! Jimmy really looked after us and helped us to find some great restaurants. The surrounding area really is lovely.
Mar 09 (one month visit)The house was great for our needs with easily accessed walks and equally easy access to the main road for exploring further afield. We enjoyed the area which had much more to offer than I had expected and there was so much to see and do within relatively short driving distances.. It has been a pleasure liaising with you throughout, you provide a friendly and professional service, which is fantastic. Thank you.
What fabulous weather - argueably the best time of year to visit this wonderful area. House clean and well equipped.
We had a fabulous time in Playa Paraiso. The house was great and so well equipped. We used your bikes and buckets and spades too. Managed to visit lots of lovely places and even tested the mud!
All in all it was a great break.
