    Van alle gemakken voorzien. Lekkere bedden. Fijn balkon om het apartement heen. Als het aan de ene kant winderig is, kun je makkelijk verplaatsen. Dichtbij het water. Superfijne host! Goed bereikbaar voor vragen en erg behulpzaam! Aanrader.

A Wide variety of cafes, bars and restaurants are a short walk away. If you want the atmosphere of a Spanish flavour of a seaside town this is the place for you, but with the benefits of being a short drive to the La Manga Strip more touristy feel.
