2 bed ground floor apartment in Mar Menor Golf Resort
Our experience was mixed, some pros some cons. We travelled as 3 families, each 2 ads and 3 ch. Because of this we saw another 2 bed and a 3 bed. These were both superiorly equipped to ours. Ours was obviously equipped to rent which was fine but we found a few things lacking. We booked for 3 wks .We had hoped to have BBQ's but there was no BBQ available. Fortunately the other 2 apartments both had BBQ's but we couldn't BBQ ourselves and as we were there for 3 wks we felt this would have been a great addition especially as the dining options on site are limited. We had no real issues with the apartment, it had air con, lots of cooking appliances and utensils, a washing machine and dishwasher. The oven only had a single tray and no shelves/racks so it was difficult to cook a meal for 5 ppl at times e.g. couldn't cook 2 pizzas at once. But other than that it was well stocked with plenty of glasses etc We were a family of 5 and booked as such.
The pull out bed on the couch was teeny tiny . No way anyone older than a child could sleep on it. Also, there are no outside shutters on the sliding doors so it was v bright from early if you are someone that needs darkness like myself to sleep.
Loungers need to be brought to the pool which was fine but there were only 2 for 5 of us, one of which was broken. However, we communicated this and another lounger was promptly delivered to us. But if you were having a party of 4 adults here you would be restricted. Just an FYI , and maybe sth the owner might have overlooked. We felt there should have been 4.
We also had a pretty bad ant problem whilst we were there and when we communicated it we were told it's just the season. We had to purchase our own products and I was constantly sweeping, mopping and hoovering in efforts to resolve the problem, not something you really want to be doing on holidays.
All in all, the apartment was absolutely fine but we felt a few extras could elevate it. A cheap capsule coffee maker(missed our cappucinos), a BBQ and more loungers would be ideal.
Also, some general info on the area such as dining options as the food in the hotel is v poor and local places of interest would be a great addition.
Marijke responded to all queries immediately and we couldn't fault her. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again in the future.
