Just returned home from a wonderful holiday in this apartment. It had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Its location is great, literally a two minute walk to the beach and really useful supermarket. The beach is great, sunbeds with parasols only 3.50 euros a day and lifeguard on duty. Great bus service to the Gran Plaza shopping mall and Almeria too. Must recommend the Aloha bar - good food and service and unbelievably reasonable prices. Best of all Debra and Gary are so helpful and made the whole process so easy and stress free. The taxi they arranged was brilliant and felt very confident that they were available if we needed them. Thank you so much!!
From the moment we confirmed with Debra to the last sad turn of the key as we left, this was a holiday experience to boast about. A relaxing break with buckets of sunshine and beachtime? We got it. Great value for money, an apartment with EVERYTHING we needed? Tick. A superb location with friendly bars and plenty of plates of good fish? The only disappointment was hen I stepped on the scales on my return home. :) As a travel writer, this was an easy review. To sum in up in 3 words? Will be back.
Leading up to our stay Debra was very helpful and friendly. She arranged for a late transfer from the airport and the driver had the apartment key.
The apartment is somewhat disappointing. It is in need of some serious tlc, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. There was a leak from the bath/shower screen onto the floor. Fixtures and fittings in here are either broken or rusty. There is a problem with the drains, they smell terrible and we had to leave the plugs in.
The kitchen was very disorganised and the equipment wasnât good.
The apartment is generally a bit tired and grubby.
The part of Roquestas that the apartment is in was like a ghost town. There are one or two little bars and supermarkets close by but very little else. Itâs around a 20-30min walk to the main part of the resort.
The beach along this part of the coast is amazing and you can walk for miles, all on the flat.
Un apartamento muy cerca de la playa con todas las facilidades en un lugar muy tranquilo con una piscina fantĂĄstica. Debra es una anfitriona muy atenta. Muchas gracias
El piso estĂĄ bastante bien, aunque con muchos trastos almacenados por los armarios.
Incluso en la cocina hay armarios con infinidad de bolsas, trastos y alguna lata de comida.
La zona muy tranquila.
La piscina fenomenal.
En general el equipamiento del piso (colchones, sillones, toallas, etc) muy correcto.
Clean apartment, exactly as pictured. Lovely pool. Very helpful in making arrangements. We had an excellent holiday.

I recently enjoyed a weeks stay at this clean,well maintained apartment. The facilities available were easy to use and reliable especially the luxury of having English tv and quick running wifi. The apartment itself was spacious and in an ideal location-close to the beach,bars and amenities but quite enough to get a good nights sleep! Gary and Debbie provided a faultless service from booking to the end of the trip. I have and will continue to recommend this apartment to friends and family who are looking for a place to stay which feels just like home.
This apartment is in a perfect location. It is in a quiet area yet only a few minutes walk to some of the nicest tapas bars, ie aloha's and taskas, and the beach. There is a well stocked supermarket across the road and a good bus service just over from the front door. The apartment itself is great and has everything you need for a great holiday including an adult and a children's pool. We would have no hesitation in recommending this to our family and friends or indeed anyone who wants a relaxing holiday with all amenities close by. Thank you Garry and Debra for our wonderful stay in your lovely apartment.
We have just spent 3 lovely weeks in this apartment in Roquetas. It is situated in a quiet area of the town yet is surrounded by plenty of bars and restaurants and the sea front, all within 3 minutes walk! 15 minutes stroll along the beautiful promenade in either direction there is a lot more activity. The apartment is ideal with all the facilities you require. Gary and Debra are so helpful and we would recommend their apartment to anyone.
A nice unspoilt area without all the commercial trappings of a holiday resort. But not far from the high life if that's what you want. Accommodation is nice and the extra touches like wifi, satellite TV etc. are good if you fancy a night in. A comfortable little apartment, nicely cared for, just what we were looking for. Local food prices are quite reasonable. Love the tapas culture!
Great place to stay with my family / young baby.
We ordered a travel cot and took our tommy tippie microwave steriliser. Tip... You buy Bezoya mineral water out in the shops and can buy poweder aptimil from pharmacy.
Apartment on first floor with lift. Outdoor Car park is opposite and it is near Zoraida hotel, which you can use.
Just a stone throw from beach with lovely promenade (easy to walk with the pram).
San Rocco restaurant was a lovely Italian restaurant and my partner and I really enjoyed our meal there- very nice. Thats about a 5-10 min drive - turn right from apartment and head towards the Sabinal hotel and passed Sabinal and gorilla / play area for kids and keep driving.
Theres a small restaurant / bar opposite called Portimar or similar and the staff are extremely helpful and do anything for you (nice toasties and red wine there when you arrive late at night).
Apartment is quiet and residential area with a balcony looking over to small park and can almost see the beach. Near to water park, aquarium and lots of other things to do. Water Park and Aquarium turn left from apartment passed Gran Plaza (shopping centre).
Aguadulce was lovely with nice restaurants.
Nice, clean apartment and lots of things to do. My third time staying here and discovered more this time. WIFI is free in apartment, so great bonus.
Small hairdryer there, one double bed and two singles. Sofa is comfy for nights in watching a film / tv. DVD player there too and owners have supplied some.
We visited Oasys theme park. Head towards Almeria airport and then a sat nav should pick it up as an 'attraction' when you are near to almeria airport. Well worth a day out. Western film set and can have pictures with kids / fun for adults too, a brilliant zoo there and a swimming pool. Had a brilliant day out there.
Enjoy your break. :-) xxxx
We had a wonderful week in Roquetas. Have been to Spain many times before but never to this particular area. We found it to have a very relaxed atmosphere, the local Spanish residents were always friendly and helpful and the beach is amazing.
This apartment is in a superb location, literally just a few minutes walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. And it is fully equipped incl English TV, a cooker and full sized fridge freezer.
Wish we had stayed longer as we didnt get to see/do many of the things nearby.
Highly recommended with no hesitation in returning.
I inform you that have been a great holiday at your house in Roquetas. We hope to come back another year, and we will contact you for renting your house again
we have just returned form a 2 week stay here and it was fab. the apartment was just as it was in the photos, lovely and clean and ample size for a family of 4, a real home from home. Excellent communication with the owners prior to our holiday and they left us loads of info in the apartment about things to do and where the nicest places were to eat. Roquetas de mar is a lovely unspoilt resort and I had the most relaxing 2 weeks holiday that I have probably ever had, typical Spanish resort where they still give you free tapas when you order a beer, the beach was great and was never crowded and the marina at night was great, we were spoilt for choice for where to eat because everywhere smelt amazing. The waterpark was good although a bit of a trek if you have little ones (take a pram). Will absolutely being going back there and would highly recommend the resort and the apartment to anyone who wants a relaxing sunshine holiday.
The property is clean, spacious, and modern with a sunny aspect [balcony] and we have ensured that it is well equipped for all your needs and is in a great location. A real 'home from home' which offers all the comforts you require for a holiday or relaxing stay. The rooms are of good size and the kitchen is separate and well equipped. The swimming pool on the complex is also of a good size and you can sunbathe in the gardens after a swim. The local bus transport service is excellent. WIFI, UK TV and cleaning are all included in the price and our prices are very reasonable. We also have an English-speaking Agent who can arrange collection from and to Almeria Airport (fee paid to the driver on collection who will also have keys to the apartment). Or we can arrange key collection (out of hours arrival) from our Agent's office, a short drive away from the apartment). We are happy to help to make your stay a comfortable and stress-free one.
The apartment is just a few minutes walk from the beach and has restaurants, tapas bars, supermarkets and other facilities which are all very close but still enable you to enjoy a tranquil atmosphere. Local bus connections are excellent. The beach is very unspoiled and you can always find somewhere to eat and relax. You can visit Playa Serena resort [15 mins walk] which has several cafes, restaurants, a golf course, or travel on the bus if you choose not to walk and visit the Marina, which has a rustic feel and several superb seafood restaurants. The local markets and also the Gran Plaza Shopping Mall together with Restaurants are worth a visit. Almeria town and its historic features, as well as some lovely day trips out, can be booked using the local Excursion company.
