There is wifi free around the pools and it works generally in the apt, but I now have my own WiFi just pay as you go, it is 12e for up to 15 days and can be paid Paypal. You can also pay the centre manager if no paypal etc. Money does not go to me!

Through the wifi you can also watch UK TV on a device I also have a amazon firestick streaming stick on a new 4k UHDTV TV. UK tv best form phone hotspot wifi now with all main channels and streams

The apartment has been redecorated in 2017 and is now all white see the new pictures. New furniture was installed in the summer.

Secure underground parking by stores 89/90 with remote control.

Free to use 2 paddle tennis courts , gym, lending book library.

Free loungers. Beachside direct access promenade between town of Sabinillas and Puerto de la Duquesa with new beach front bars and restaurants. Also, numerous restaurants and bars overlooking the marina, less than 5 mins walk away. Local market in peak season along the harbour side. 24 hours manned security.

We suggest you look at flights through sky scanner and also look at flights to or from Gibraltar as its only 20 minutes away.

In terms of car hire we always use brunos in the port. There are others we use and transfer companies too we can point you to.

PLEASE NOTE I HAVE TAKEN QUITE A FEW LETTINGS JUST FOR SHORT WEEKENDS, BUT THE RATES QUOTED ON THE SITE ARE BASED ON A FULL WEEKS STAY. SHORTER BREAKS WILL COST MORE PER NIGHT AS MY SERVICE CLEAN IS A FIXED COST (APPROX 50 E PER CHANGE) AND SERVICES LIKE WATER AND ELEC/AIR CON ARE HIGH SO I REGRET ALL SHORT BOOKINGS WILL NOW BE SUBJECT TO A MIN PRICE OF £155 (WHICH IS STILL LOW FOR UP TO 6 PEOPLE) AND IF THE STAY GOES OVER A WEEKEND INTO ANOTHER WEEK THERE WILL BE A MIN CHARGE OF £255 AS I WILL LOSE POTENTIALLY UP TO TWO WEEK BOOKINGS SORRY AND THANK YOU

My Spanish registration number is VTF/MA/03172 make sure the apt you book with is properly registered for your own safety!

The post code for the port is 29692 malaga

I would like the apartment to be no smoking but clearly I am not there so if guests who must smoke would please not smoke in the apartment but on the balcony we would appreciate this. I am not aware of any guests to date that have smoked and the cleaners never leave any trace if there have been smokers.

Please note the rental includes linen and towels and we have or had 2 hairdryers in the apartment too. There is also a child's travel cot in the apartment free to use.

Some guests ask after they have paid the deposit when do they get the details about keys which is a fair concern, well my feedback gives you assurance there is nothing to worry about, but you do not get those details until you have paid in full then we get each other's full contact details and all the apartment and key information is then provided with full local support also available.

I ask guests to leave by 10.30 if I have a same day swap over so it can be fully serviced for the next customer who I ask to collect keys after 3pm if on a same day swap over, if it is not a same day change I can be much more flexible please just check the diary which I keep up to date for change over days.

thank you.

PLEASE NOTE THE SITE MODERATE CANCELLATION POLICY YOU SHOULD TAKE OUT YOUR OWN TRAVEL INSURANCE AS WELL FOR SICKNESS AND FLIGHTS DELAYS ETC ETC.

NO LIABILITY WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR LOSS OR INJURY THIS IS A CONDITION OF ALL BOOKINGS

if you use what3words location app you can see the location is approx as; barbecued craning camels

Finally, your feedback helps me improve any service and other guests- Thanks
