Jardines de Zahara

The room they added to the listing was an unpleasant surprise. The house was advertised by Las Casas de Mar as having 4 bedrooms and sleeping 8, but it only had three proper bedrooms. The supposed fourth was a basement/storage room opening onto the garage, with two beds and a small table. There was no ventilation, no electrical outlet, and no light by the beds. Upstairs, the bedrooms were nice, with large beds, and one had a terrace and bathroom. We would have been fine if we’d known what to expect, but we hadn’t been told about that tiny room. The manager was even less pleasant when we raised it. The house and complex are lovely, with a pool and gardens all around, but the experience could have been wonderful and wasn’t. There was no Wi-Fi, and we had to buy toilet paper. Given all that, I thought it was expensive.

The grounds were clean, with plenty of fountains and showers, and the beach is right next door. It’s ideal for taking dogs and washing them off after a beach day. There’s also a swimming pool, paddle tennis courts, and parking, making this a great resort for a few days.

A nice spot for a few family days, right by the beach, with a pool and everything close at hand. Apartment prices may be a little high, but that’s how it goes in high season.

I really appreciated how quiet the location was. The apartment was practical and had all the amenities I needed, and the owner was available whenever something came up.
