Family of 4 (7yrs and 2 yrs) staying for 3 weeks. We have been to Torrox Costa before, so we knew where and what we wanted and this apartment ticked those boxes. There is a (ex-pat) local contact person, Sara to greet you and show you to your apartment.
Laguna Beach complex is a gated complex right next to the beach, with a gate very nearby taking you to the lovely sandy beach; literary 2-4 minutes walk / less than 50 metres - Ideal!!! The apartment is situated amongst a very well and regularly maintained garden of trees, grassy areas and floral bushes with a well structured stream running through it, where the children would try to catch tiny fish with their nets or look for frogs croaking in the evenings. My son spotted a small lizard one evening!
The beach is clean and spacious with an option to hire sun lounges.
The pools are again situation to a similar distance and time to the beach. The Olympic size pool was super, never too busy and with lifeguards on duty all day. Baby pool was ideal for our little one and again never too busy. Pool side showers available and plenty of grassy areas if you wanted a day beside the pool instead of on the beach.
Frequented the restaurant in the complex most days, ranging from visits for ice creams, hot and cold drinks, tapas to evening meals, all were good and tasty and with good service, which was the same with all the bars, cafe and restaurants situated along the promenade that we had frequented.
The Promenade - 2.5km of lovey bars, cafes, restaurants, gift shops and a children's play area. We became regulars at restaurants, Buddhas, Caribe and Mambo for food and drinks; staff were great with our kids. Tried all the ice cream parlours along the promenade, we'll let you decide on your favourite parlour! Mambo is fantastic for seafood and pizzas!
The Apartment - clean and well-maintained with ACs in 2 of the 3 bedrooms, the only one that doesn't have it actually has a constant cool breeze coming in. It does have a ceiling fan and also portable fan as well if required. We stayed in July and it was adequate. Kitchen - fully kitted with marble tops and quality finishing and a washing machine. Also, a 2 new additions, a microwave and a freezer offered everything we needed to make a sandwich to a complete evening meal.
We have absolutely no hesitation on recommending this apartment.
Correspondences with Phil were smooth and friendly, pleasure to have found his lovely apartment!
