We stayed here for 3 nights for a hen weekend. I must say I was quite apprehensive about staying at these apartments having read some of the reviews however, I can honestly say that they were great.
The apartments were decorated nicely with lots of space. We had a two bedroom apartment. One with a double bed and an en suite, the other with twin beds next to another bathroom. There was a large balcony to the front which could be accessed from the twin bedroom and the living room. There was also a balcony to the back with access from the double bedroom and access to a smaller balcony from the kitchen. The kitchen was fully equipped with all that you could need for a really long stay including toaster, microwave, toastie maker etc.
We booked through booking.com however, it did appear that the apartment was owned by somebody and rented out. There was a TV, DVD player, SKY box, reading books etc. The showers were really powerful however, they do go cold if you are the last one in.
The pool was really nice but there are sometimes a shortage of beds. There are a few pools on this complex but we didnt check them all out, we just stayed at the one nearest to us.
Over the road from the hotel is a little restaurant which serves great food at great prices. They do a 3 course fixed price menu for 9.95 in the day and 12.95 in the evening. This included a choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 desserts and included dishes like steaks and sea food on the menu. This was well worth the money and cheaper than anywhere near the harbour.
The harbour was expensive but we already knew that it would be before we went and we only went to drink and party so it was fine. For spirit and mixer or bottles of alcopops you are looking at around 6/7 Euro's. Half a lager was about 3 Euro's. Wine was about 6 Euros.
Anyone going to this part of Spain I would recommend a trip to Nikki's Beach. It's a VIP beach club just outside of Marbella. They have large sun loungers that are like double beds and play music all day long. Everyone is up dancing and they have dancers on podiums. You can sunbathe on the beach or rent one of their beds for 150 euros for the day. This sounds like a lot but if you are going for a hen weekend and want something a bit more special then its well worth springing the money especially when you can fit about 4 of you on a bed and so can split it. you also get free champagne when you rent a bed. there were people running around spraying people with champagne. Definitely worth a visit.
If you want to visit Marbella the easiest way to do it is to get a boat from Puerto Banus harbour. It takes about 30 mins and is 15 Euro's return. Its also a nice little boat ride and better than a taxi. We took a taxi from here to Nikki's beach.
For nights out we got the best deals at Linekars bar. Sinatras is also very good. If you are going on a hen or stag weekend or for any special occasion you can go on Linekars website and book one of their packages, most of which are free. For example we had a private booth, free champers on arrival, a banner with the hens name on it, a waiter and lots of free shots. All of this for free. Its worth doing especially cus the place gets really busy and you feel thankful for having somewhere to sit down if you want to.
Would definitely go back to Puerto banus and would stay at these apartments again. taxi from the apartments to the harbour is about 7 Euro's. The restaurant from over the road is happy to order one for you.
