Apartement de luxe, proximité plage, San Pedro/Estepona

We spent here fine 10 days. Apartment is clean, nicely furnished with pool view. It is located within quiet surroundings, we recommend for those who want to have peaceful holiday.

We stayed at the Hacienda Del Sol from 19th August to 2nd Sept with our 2 year old Son and 6yr old Daughter.

Our first impression was how beautiful and clean the apartment was though we were a little surprised at the size of the complex which had @ 300 apartments though it was spread out with each block having its own pool. The buildings and gardens were very well maintained. The pool was lovely with a paddling pool next to it though children weren't allowed blow up rings, balls etc in the pools.

The local beaches weren't very suitable for young children, although the sand was nice there were lots of pebbles and stones to walk over before getting into the water. Sunbeds on the beach in front of the Marriot (timeshare resort not Hotel!) were 15 Euros per day which was a bit steep. If you took a 20 minute drive to El Rosario or Cabo Pino the beaches were more suitable for young children with sand all the way and shallower waters for bathing/playing. Heaven beach had a Flamenco show on the Saturday night which mesmerised the children for over an hour as we were dining on the beach.

The only restaurants within walking distance were set back from the very busy main dual carraigeway which wasn't so nice, we dined at 3 or 4, all were good food and service. Our favourite restuarants were Amigos and Los Albanicos in Benahavis 10 minutes away by car which had a lovely atmosphere at night. Nearest the apartment at the Marriot beach were 2 seafront restaurants both serving excellent food though only 1 was open in the evenings.

We visited the 3 Selwo attractions (cable cars,safari park and marine park) We purchased a ticket to do all 3 which worked out quite a bit cheaper and definately worth the money. We also took a drive up the mountains to Ronda which was very interesting with some amazing views.

All in all we had a really nice holiday but a car is pretty essential as the nearest decent sized supermarket is a 10 minute drive. Sophie the owner was lovely to deal with and was always quick to answer any questions/queries.

I have stayed several times at this apartment and have always had a most enjoyable time. It is exceptionally well maintained and has plenty of room for four people. The resort is not a noisy one which adds to the relaxing ambiance. The swimming pool is added inducement to stay at this resort. As a serious swimmer I can get plenty of lengths in before a sundowner on the balcony. A fine choice of restaurants are within easy walking distance as is the beach. Many a happy hour has been spent swimming in the sea and walking along the shore. I have never found it be crowded which adds to its attractiveness. I always leave San Pedro de Alcantara feeling fully rested and planning my next trip there.

Comfortable Luxury

We have had a wonderful time at this flat. The flat itself feels like home, nicely decorated and appointed with all the essentials. This has been a nice change from timeshare resort accommodations, or hotels.

Having a beach on the Mediterranean Sea not 5 minutes walking distance is lovely. All the necessities such as groceries etc are within walking distance, and a short bus ride to the markets in Marbella and other coastal towns.

One can even do without a car, taking the bus from Malaga. This is such a nice break if one has to drive everywhere at home. If you do have car access, the trip to Rhonda is well worth it, as are many other scenic and historical places.

We have stayed here twice now, and we still want to return. All seasons have their own charm and activities, so any time of the year is good. We highly recommend this unit for holiday or even for a business trip.

Lovely, clean, well located, nicely furnished property. Close to all the amenities. Lovely pool and great place to come back to after the sightseeing!
