We were three young people on this trip and had a good time with this hotel. Firstly, you will need a car for this location because its a long walking distance to bus station. Secondly, don't try to go to the apartments upon your arrival! the keys are at Palmera beach hotel who manages the apartments as well and they will provide you with a nice map for the apartment location which is complicated to find.
The apartments are clean and with good furniture and you have everthing from sharp knives to washing mashine for you stay.
Okay, there are some problems if the wather is not warm enough. The electrical heaters are supposed to warm the rooms, but if you sonsume too much electricity at once, the system will not tolerate the load and the electricity will go off. We had this situation and to save ourselves from a dark and cold night, we went to palmera beach hotel. They provided us with a suite inside the hotel with no extra cost. The staff at the hotel are generally kind and helpful.

One note, the oven in the apartments are working with Gas and you will need to have lighter or matches to turn them on.

We booked last minute through superbreak and got an absolute bargain! we had 4 days of lovely sunshine and 3 of rain in October.

Really great position just at the beaches edge. Basically furnished but clean and orderly with no major maintenance issues at all. The only downside were the amount of blown lightbulbs that greeted us and the odd Cockroach! - I should point out that there were 3 days of torrential rain before their presence, when it was sunny they were nowhere to be seen.

The terrace was the perfect place for dinner whilst watching the moon over the sea and our son thought the pirate ship on the beach was fantastic!.

We would and probably will return!

you will definately need a car to stay at this property as amenities were ok if you love beach pool holidays as there isnt very much else to do here, it seemed to be an area where the spanish go on holiday and visit at weekends which is no problem but gets very busy. the car has to be parked in the car park down the road if you can actually get a space at times it was a nightmare, theres a market every night which makes it even worse, you dont have to move your vehical any more but the van drivers like to park where ever they like even if it means blocking a few cars. its worth taking a trip to Torre de la horadada or even trying to find a place there as it was a little heaven on earth. The property is in need of updating a plug was hanging off the wall in our place and i wasnt keen on the spiral stairs with my youngest children. the bathroom and downstairs toilet have very large sinks which makes the area very small and quite cramped when in there. it has all facilities although oddly we didnt have a kettle and no pegs for the washing line so i bought some and left them for the next ppl in no. 12. we found it very noisey with drunks during the night also the wind woops up from the sea and makes quite a racket. wasnt expecting that as it was july and temps reaching 34 degrees. that comes to another problem no air con we all slept on the sofa bed as it was bloomin hot upstairs. if you use palmera beach pool a little advice is to buy your ice cream and drinks from the supermarket as they rip you off something rotten 15euros compaired to 4euros at supermarket over the week it adds up to a hell of alot, i recommend going restaurants at flamenco beach towards torrejeveca, park near burger king and walk round also you have supercor the supermarket there, the chinese restaurant was excellent and also a restaurant called The witchery kids eat free before 8.30pm i recommend the 24inch ribs there.
If you do hire a car beware of their car parks underground it was a tight corner to get out and a very very very steep clime out so much so we had smoke coming out of our engine and was spinning the wheels. but overall we did have a nice time and the kids loved it but wont be returning

We stayed in the Jessica Beach Apartments (house) in June 2008 for 2 weeks with our 3 year old son and what a fantastic time we had. The location couldn't be better with the beach just a stones throw away and it's beautiful. The restaurants are a short walk away and are very good. It's a lovely place as it's quite small and quiet. The apartments have everything you need, we even had a washing machine and a utility room in ours. The maids changed our towels/linen 3 times in the 2 weeks we were there. One thing to point out is that it's not that easy to find, make sure you look out for Mil Palmeras not Pilar de la Horadada as we got a bit lost on the way there. We can't say a bad thing about the apartments or the place - it's fab and we would recommend it to friends and family.
