Lovely stay

Posted Oct. 7, 2023 on HomeAway
Good sized apartment with large outside area. Well equipped accommodation in good location. Everything needed was provided. We had a very enjoyable stay in Caron apartment, set in beautiful surroundings in a well maintained and manicured complex. 20 minutes walk in several directions takes you to a large variety of eating and drinking options. The pool was fantastic, spacious and inviting, lifeguards always in attendance, plenty of room and sunbeds for everyone. Our arrival was trouble free and went exactly as planned. Easy to find and with good directions provided, everything went smoothly. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

Very relaxing holiday

Posted Aug. 19, 2023 on HomeAway
We’ve just returned from our 2nd stay at la dame de noche. The development is lovely with well maintained gardens and the added bonus of the bellini bar where you can get drinks, snacks, ice creams and full meals. The swimming pool is fantastic, we could get sunbeds easily at anytime of day and it has a lovely relaxing feel to it. We hired a car and although it’s not essential, I would recommend. We were able to get taxis from outside the apartment fairly easily, but in high season it is extremely busy. The apartment itself has a lovely outdoor space, is close to the pool and is comfortable albeit fairly basic. Communication with the host Caron is brilliant, you get fast responses and she is very helpful. Check in and check out is very easy and the complex feels very safe. La dame de noche is a lovely base for a relaxing holiday, there are hundreds of restaurants within a 5 minute cab ride (20 minute walk) and if you want a quieter night away from the busyness of the port I’d recommend trying the area of Aloha gardens and also Shango’s. We look forward to returning one day. Thank you Caron xx

Stay with friends

Posted Jun. 27, 2023 on HomeAway
We had a fabulous stay in Carons apartment. It was clean and well equipped with more than enough room for 6 ladies. The terrace was lovely for breakfast in the morning sunshine and pre dinner drinks. The grounds and pool areas were beautiful. Caron answered any queries quickly and efficiently. We easily walked into Puerto Banus and also took a short taxi ride to Marbella old town. We would recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a stay in this area. Thank you Caron

A good property in a lovely location

Posted Jun. 2, 2023 on HomeAway
During my stay (March to May 2023) Caron was quick in replying to any issues or problems I had, which was impressive. The apartment is well equipped and maintained and has all you need. The oven took some getting used to, but was fine. It’s possibly a little cosy with six people there, but not overly so. The patio area is east facing, so only gets the sun in the morning. You can therefore get shade there in the afternoon. I didn’t use the air conditioning at all during my stay. The complex itself is well maintained and generally pleasant. There are two swimming pools, but I didn’t get much use of them, as only one partially opened from mid-May (not an issue if you go in the summer). If you like golf, there are course aplenty around. It’s 20 minutes into town, San Pedro is an hour’s walk (quieter than Marbella, a longer walk) and both are worth visiting (the buses are very cheap if you just want to walk one way). For more serious walkers who want to get away for a bit, turn right out of the complex, then right at Ahola golf club (past the bins) and then straight up the hills. There’s a lake with a dam and wonderful views. La Concha (mountain range) is also worth climbing. The only negatives were noisy neighbours in the apartment above and dog mess not being picked up around the complex. Neither of these were Caron’s fault and she did all she could to help and reported the incidents for action. Overall I would recommend the apartment, complex and area.

Sack the cleaner

Posted Sep. 19, 2022 on HomeAway
Pro's: Communication with the owner was great, Instruction for entry to the property were also excellent. Con's: This had to be the dirtiest apartment/hotel I have ever stayed in. There were crumbs on the kitchen and dinning room chairs. There was dust, and crumbs on the floor meaning we needed to sweep and then hover as the broom was so filthy itself. The kettle had discoloured water and limescale meaning we had to buy descaler before we could even use the kettle. The pillow had a stain on it, there was black mould on both shower curtains and the tea towel. Probably the worst finding in this post Covid world was a used and discarded face mask in one of the bedside table. I had read on the reviews that the apartment is 15 minutes to the port. The fact is it took 10 minutes to walk out the entrance and then get to the end of the urbanization perimeter, it was then another 20 minutes to the port. A total walk of 30 minutes each way. Granted we were not walking fast but in 35 degree heat who would! There was nothing around the complex at all other than walk to the port or stay at the onsite bar/restaurant. where by the way we got charged 9 euros for a portion of chips!! I have also taken photo's to evidence all of the above.

Hi Peter Thanks for the review and the positive comments regarding communication with me and the instructions for entry which I provided. I am surprised that after we had such positive and proactive communication about matters such as the safe code you did not raise the other issues at the time as I would have responded equally promptly to rectify those issues within my control as well as giving you information about local amenities other than the port. Please could you send me the photographic evidence regarding the cleanliness of the apartment such that I can take appropriate action. According to Google maps the apartment is 1.6km and a 20 minute walk to the port, we must walk more speedily as it usually takes us 15 minutes. When you walked to the port did you go around the perimeter of the complex rather than cut through the complex via the tropical gardens past 1 of the 2 swimming pools, behind the padel tennis and basketball courts, in front of the onsite bar and restaurant that is next to the fountains and past the children's play area? In terms of the price at Bellinis I have checked the menu and I think there may have been a mistake with the bill but it would be best, if you have an issue with their prices, that you record that on their review site. As a general rule Puerto Banus and the surrounding areas are a little pricier due to the level of demand by holidaymakers. Thanks once again for your review. Caron

Fantastic spacious apartment in brilliant location

Posted Aug. 28, 2022 on HomeAway
We just returned from ten days at Caron's apartment. It is so spacious and well kitted out. Caron was extremely obliging and approachable she often replied to my messages straightaway and really put my mind at ease. Everything about the location was perfect. Walking distance to beach and port. Driving distance to everything we could want during our holiday. We will be returning for sure!!! Thank you Caron.

Fabulous holiday

Posted Aug. 20, 2022 on HomeAway
Firstly id like to say that communication with the property owner is fantastic, we booked this property for a holiday in 2020, but due to covid we have had to move our dates twice. Caron has always been super helpful and responds to any questions very quickly. The apartment is situated in a beautiful, well kept development. The grounds are well maintained and the two pool areas are beautiful. We didn’t have any problems getting sun beds and the pool area is very relaxing and spacious. The apartment is very close to the pool and restaurant area, bellini bar is a great place to grab a snack or a cocktail, we also ate dinner there a couple of times and chatted to the locals. The apartment itself is a fabulous base, we felt very comfortable and content. There’s plenty of wardrobe space and bundles of hangers, the patio area is lovely and the kitchen has everything you need. We had a wonderful two week stay and have already booked for next year. Puerto Banus has everything you could ask for, the stroll to the port is about 10 minutes, and there are bundles of restaurants and bars. We also used uber to get taxis to restaurants away from the port area, one in particular ‘Shango’s’ was absolutely lovely, I would highly recommend a visit. Shopping is also amazing, el corte ingles is well worth a visit, it also houses a very big supermarket and a Starbucks. The air conditioning in the apartment is lovely, although i did wake up most nights to turn it back on as the setting only allows you to have air con on for two hours. We also had 2 nights where the apartment above were very loud, on our last night they played loud music and were dancing at 4.30 am. This wasn’t ideal, but hasn’t put us off from returning. We hired a car, which was great to get shopping from the close by mercadona and to visit nearby places. We absolutely loved staying at la dama de noche and can’t wait to return next year. Thank you Caron for all your help and assistance and for letting us use your lovely apartment.

Hi Claire Thanks so much for your kind review. I have raised the issue of noise with the administrators of the complex to take action regarding the neighbours in the apartment above as the complex rules require quiet after midnight. In addition we have some work planned to fit sound insulation in the ceilings in the bedrooms and the walls adjacent to the neighbours on the same floor as the walls are so thin in Spain! This is planned for January and June (which are the 2 months the apartment is not booked so far) and is before your next booking! Thanks again for your feedback Caron
