Just spent a week in Diane and Steve's apartment in La torre Golf. From start to finish the holiday was great.
The taxi came on time (Vincente) to take us from the airport to La Torre Golf, and we continued to use him throughout our holiday because he was reasonable and also very prompt and reliable.
There is plenty of room in the two bedroom centrally located apartment, (there were five of us), and we found it to be very spacious. Directly opposite the supermarket too, not far at all to trek with those big bottles of water! I don't think we would have coped without the air conditioning in each room though, so thanks for that Diane!
The whole apartment was furnished very tastefully, and was very clean. There is a nice balcony to sit out on for breakfast in the sun, and when the sun gets too hot during the day it starts to go into the shade, which is just right!
The pools were very clean and well maintained, along with the gardens surrounding the apartments. A children's play area is directly below Diane's apartment, which is very handy
The little 'Town' is great to eat in during the evening, with around 4 decent restaurants, an Irish Bar, a pizza takeaway and ice cream parlour. Prices weren't too expensive, especially for children, up to age 12.
The supermarket food on site was very competitively priced too!
Off site, some local restaurants in Roldan will offer courtesy cars to collect and return you after you have dined with them free of charge!
We managed to arrange a trip to the beach from the gorgeous 5 Star Hotel on this massive Polaris World complex. They have a small mini bus which can take up to 9 people into los Alcazares, around a 20 minute ride away. It only cost 21 Euros (return) for all 5 of us! Very good value for money.
All in all a very nice week spent relaxing in the sun. My friend and our children would certainly return to explore more of the surrounding areas of Murcia, and enjoy this lovely safe complex.
