Friendly staff Comfortable apartments
This was our choice of accommodation, for our 'Winter Warmer' VT meet. It was recommended by Hansi and Lori Pori, who had stayed here previously.
Booked directly with the Bajondillo. For a 2 bedded apartment it cost 44 Euros per night-payable on arrival. Free shuttle bus service to/from Malaga airport (20 minutes away)- Flight details were e-mailed in advance.
Friendly and efficient check in. 24hour reception- the staff are multi-lingual.
Credit cards accepted. Currency exchange available. Stamps and post cards available at reception. Free Wi-Fi throughout - activate your password within 12 hours, and it is valid for 2 weeks.
Internet desks on the ground floor too.
Safes available- I think it was a 10 Euro deposit
Our room was on the 7th floor of the main block- 3 elevators service the 9 floors.
A balcony (with table and chairs) gave us views of the bay and the beach opposite, plus over part of the town.
2 comfortable single beds, Plenty of storeage space-wardrobe (with coat hangers), drawers and sideboard. Tables and chairs.
TV, air con, fridge, hob, cooking utensils and crockery.
Bathroom- bath with powerful overhead shower, WC, bidet and basin, towels and loo rolls.
I had to ask a neighbour how to switch on the electricity- (room key, in a slot near the door!)
We also had a problem with a defrosting ice box, but realised that the fridge was set at zero, so this was soon sorted.
There are plenty of supermercadoes nearby to stock up on basics. As we were only here for 3 nights, we didn't really need to do a 'big shop' Carrefore and Lidl supermarkets are located in the town.
Soap wasn't provided, and the shops appear to be geared up for the 'long stay market' ie no small bottles of shampoo or individual tea bags etc.
We didn't pay for breakfast (08.00-11.00), but enjoyed afternoon tea and cakes one afternoon, and of course we did frequent the bar! The prices were a bit higher than I'd expected . 6.10 Euros for an Irish coffee-but it did pack a punch!
Restaurant, Cafeteria and beach bar available for snacks, sandwiches, soup and local specialities.
