La Manga Club: 3 dormitorios Los Olivos Garden Apartment

The villa was well equipped and comfortable. We had a problem & Hugh came and sorted it the same day. Thank you both

Nice easy booking and service and great facilities. good location for social and tennis

Excellent position and apartment. Will definitely be back. 5 starl

Good communication from owners prior to stay and helpful in getting our online supermarket delivery. However, we did not find the apartment as clean as we had hoped for and parts of it were quite tired. Overall the apartment is a good size and quite spacious for a family of 5. The blind in the master ensuite was in a disgraceful state and caked in dust. The pool towels provided were extremely old and faded and one of them was badly ripped. The kitchen was well equipped but one of the freezer drawers was broken and it all felt quite dated. An uplighter in the dining area started smoking badly and nearly caught fire within minutes of us arriving which was somewhat unnerving. These apartments are not within the same catchment as all the other Los Olivos apartments and you have to go through a gate and around the corner to access these apartments including a multitude of steps to get to the pools. Upon returning to the UK we were shocked to discover that the owners had charged us for a repair to the security shutters (which we were not responsible for and one bedroom even had to be in darkness for our entire holiday as they wouldn’t open). When we complained about this, the owner took a very aggressive tone with us when we pointed out other faults with the apartment. It may have be some people’s home from home but it certainly wasn’t ours...

The apartment is a ground floor apartment with everything you need for a family holiday in a La Manga. It is 30-40 minutes from San Javier airport and 15 minutes from La Manga strip, and beaches. There is everything you need on site, including a gym which our teenage boys used every day, but going off-site gives you a better feel for the area and its culture. Campo Verde restaurant, at Los Belones, for example, is excellent for good value for money Spanish food, and Cartegena is well worth a visit, as are the local beaches which are in little coves, usually at the end of narrow roads or dirt tracks.

The apartment is like a home from home, except that there is air conditioning, which is much needed. It has an exceptionally well-appointed and well-stocked kitchen, an outdoor area, balcony and a spacious living area, with three good sized bedrooms. The master bedroom and twin room are en-suite, and there is a further shower room/toilet. The Los Olivos pools are excellent and it was good to make use of the indoor pool, which was very welcome after a day in the sun, or in the morning for a swim.

The supermarket in Cabos de Palos is cheaper than the site ones, and the same is true for the bars, but the environment is safe around the resort which allowed our teenage sons to socialise until late!
