Beautiful apartment with sea view
This gorgeous apartment has got to be the finest in the whole Playa Macenas complex. The interior is spacious and has been finished to a very high standard and tastefully furnished. The enormous terrace extends around two sides of the apartment giving fabulous views of the beach and sea. One side of the terrace is more like a little garden with table and chairs for al fresco dining in the evenings and steamer chairs for catching the sun at any time of day. The other part of the terrace has a covered veranda ideal for breakfast, relaxing with a book or just admiring the view. The children were delighted by the 'communal' swimming pool right by the apartment which they mostly had all to themselves. The complex is very well run and friendly and the girls in the office are on hand for any help or advice. A car is essential if you want to explore the area, especially for excursions to the Cabo de Gata National Park and its fantastic uncommercialised beaches. We particularly enjoyed Aqua Amarga which is a 45 min drive down the coast. It is an unspoilt seaside village with a couple of great restaurants right on the beach...ideal if you have children. The old town of Mojacar is also worth a visit in the early evening, just to wander up through the old streets and take a few photos. Great views from here too. We all had an extremely enjoyable and relaxing week and would definitely go back again.
