Two bedroom luxury air-conditioned apartment, newly built in 2006. The apartment is situated on the beach front so there is no road between the apartment & the beach making it very safe for children and very peaceful.
There are two communal swimming pools, one of which is a children’s pool, showers, disabled toilets & first aid block. The pools are open from the beginning of June until the mid September (the exact dates are out of our control). Life guards are on duty when the pools are open. The pool area is for residents and guests only, & has grass, palm trees & is next to the beach. There is access to & from the beach via gates opened by key or via intercom linked to the apartment.
At the rear of the apartments there is a brand new (February 2011) basket ball court, table tennis table, and a paddle ball court.
The apartment has an open plan living area with two separate bedrooms & a bathroom.
Living area is fully air-conditioned & has patio doors onto the balcony. Bi-folding doors, which open up & slide back, so in effect the apartment only has three walls, lovely for the warm summer nights. Marble floor. There are two leather sofas, side tables, lamp, LCD flat screen television (with built in freeview, some channels can be viewed in English) with Disney Channel in English & DVD player, CD player, dining table & four chairs. Childrens table and two chairs.
Kitchen area is fully fitted with units & granite work surface. Marble floor. It is equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, hob, oven/grill, kettle, toaster, juicer, coffee machine, plates, bowls, children’s plates & bowls, drinking & wine glasses, mugs, pots & pans and cutlery. Basically everything you have at home.
Master bedroom has a king size bed, the mattress is pocket sprung and very comfortable (I was asked by one of my guests to add this detail, because they want other guests to know that they are not normal Spanish beds). Two bedside tables & bedside lights. Fitted wardrobe & drawers. Wall light & full length mirror. There is room for the (Mamas and Papas) cot. Marble floor. Air-conditioning.
Second bedroom has two beds (pocket sprung mattresses) a bedside table & bedside light. Fitted wardrobe & drawers. Mirror. Marble floor. Blind. Air-conditioning. There is room for a third bed or the cot in this room if required.
Bathroom has a shower over the bath , toilet, bidet & sink. Large mirror & shaving point.
Outside patio/balcony has a table, chairs & light & you have views of pool area & the sea. You can even hear the waves lapping on the beach! There is a full width extending sun blind to provide shade should you wish to avoid direct sunlight.
Children’s facilities: As parents we have tried to think of all the things that make holidaying with a baby or young child easier. The apartment therefore has a cot (Mamas and Papas), microwave sterilizer, high chair, which can be converted to a low chair, a selection of DVDs, toys & books. TV has Disney Channel in English. You do not have to climb stairs anywhere in the building if you do not want to, there are lifts & slopes making it very easy for pushchairs.
No smoking is allowed inside the apartment, but feel free to smoke on the patio/balcony.
The apartment is on the second floor. There are lifts from the pool & communal areas. There are modern security and safety features like fire alarms and extinguishers in the block, one directly outside the front door. All communal areas are cleaned daily & are illuminated by movement responsive lighting.
The apartment building has been designed and constructed to a very high standard for demanding Spanish clients. The atmosphere is totally Spanish with plenty of opportunities to practice your language skills or allow your children to learn from their new friends in the pool.
Situated outside the apartment on the beach are a children's climbing frame with slide and exercise machines, which are free to use.
NEW FOR 2011: a basket ball court and paddle ball court is available at the rear of the building, free of charge.
A short stroll in either direction along the beach and you will find a selection of shops, banks, bars, cafes and restaurants. Here you can find snacks, fresh fish and salads or a special of the day, consisting of three courses, a drink and bread from approx. €10! Castell offers modern conveniences with a peaceful atmosphere. There is a also a newly opened clinic and a pharmacy.
Fantastic walks in thee hills and nature reserve behind the apartment, where you can see the local wild deer in their natural habitat.
Scuba-diving lessons and equipment hire available in the next village.
Motril is the nearest substantial town and is a short drive. Granada is a modern university city and a fantastic destination for a day out with the culture of Moorish Spain at the Alhambra Palace, and it is possible to ski in the Sierra Nevada during the season.
