Superb Apartment in excellent location
We are a group of 5 friends & have just returned from 4 nights at this lovely apartment which was so nicely decorated & had everything you needed from an extremely well equipped kitchen where there was washing gel, dishwasher tablets, coffee machine washing up liquid etc plus bonus of beach towels & a fab welcome of cava, milk, & biscuits. The location is also absolutely perfect being a leisurely 20-25 min walk to Puerto banus one way or San Pedro the other way with endless choice of restaurants & bars along the way. Supermarket was an easy 15 min walk too. Don’t be put of by the mention in previous reviews of the one empty building situated next door we are so pleased we weren’t we can highly recommend the apartment & not forgetting the host Gemma who was superb.

Apartment was lovely. Showers not great, low pressure. Internet very poor. Gemma was fantastic. Building in need of some repair. Over all great holiday.

Apartment a good standard
Apartment was well equipped and clean. The apartment block however is a little dishevelled but don’t let that concern you. We had no issues during our stay and easily accessible to bars and restaurants. Walkway links the block area to Puerto Banús making a nice medium length walk.

Lovely Apartment
The apartment was absolutely lovely couldn’t fault it, the communal area could do with a bit of repair but was clean, great location right on the beach front and approximately 25min stroll to Puerto Banús. Gemma was great and always on hand if you needed her.

Great apartment in a fantastic location
The apartment was clean, nicely furnished and a fairly big for our family of 4. The location was great with easy access to the beach, bars & restaurants and a short walk to the nearby towns.

Somewhere NOT to stay
The actual apartment was clean and comfortable but the building it is in is appalling. The lift door had been kicked and battered, so we took the stairs ..there were chunks out of the cement steps and broken tiles on the walls and floor not to mention a supermarket trolly, washing, gas cylinder, B.B.Q’s .coming back after dark we felt quite threatened. There were also cars recks in the car park for us to park alongside. The only good thing was Gemma a really delightful lady who was very helpful. We moved to an hotel for the remainder of our stay.

Dear Henry, At Marbella Property Management we prioritise the comfort and enjoyment of our guests during their holiday, so I am happy to hear that you had a good experience with Gemma and she was able to immediately remedy your situation by finding you alternative accommodation that suited your individual needs better. As you noted, The Pines apartment is very comfortable and clean due to being fully renovated in 2017. The complex itself is also currently undergoing an upgrade and modernisation project and this was mentioned to you upon check in. We have found that this has not directly impacted our guests overall very positive experience as this apartment is in a fantastic location at an affordable price in comparison to other similar apartments in the San Pedro beachside area. We were sorry to hear that your experience was not in line with our other guests but appreciate your feedback and happy to report that the modernisation of the community continues to improve.

Construction below the apartment, started at 8:30am and went into the night.
There was no disclaimer about the construction going on. Security doors were always propped open.

Hi James, Thank you for your review and feedback. However as we do not reside at the property we were unaware of any construction going on in the development during your stay. If you had called us we would have informed the administration and asked them to stop this immediately but you did not allow us the chance to rectify this at the time which was actually on the 3rd June (over 6 weeks ago). Also I can confirm that the security doors are completely closed during the night time and only open when the cleaners are on site during the day. Thank you kindly, Gemma

Lovely appartment....perfect situation
The apartment is very well appointed with everything you might need. It was clean and tidy but we did have a minor problem with cockroaches. We were well looked after by the agents MPM and and there was a welcome pack of basic provisions and a bottle of Cava when we arrived. Gemma was very welcoming and helpful. The seafront location is excellent but some of the other residents in the block make the area a bit shabby.

Nice Apartment - wrong place
Very nice, clean, modern apartment. Unfortunately in a block of what appears to be more 'social housing'rather than holiday apartments. Perhaps due to the time of year, decent sun on the terrace was not until around 15:00. Terrace also dominated by huge table, and chairs not for relaxing. Good access to promenade & beach with good restaurants within 5 mins walk.

A dos pasos del paseo marítimo
El apartamento está muy bien. Todo muy limpio y bien puesto. A dos pasos de la playa, se ve desde la terraza. El único inconveniente los vecinos. Música toda la noche, gritos y un ambiente poco recomendable si vas con niños. Pero no hemos tenido ningún problema como tal.

Photos conformes, appartement propre et agréable... mais bruyant
Nous avons été très bien accueillis et l'appartement venait manifestement d'être refait. Tout est très propre et conforme aux photos. La cuisine, la salle de bains sont nickels, et l'espace de vie est assez grand pour 5. Le parking est juste en bas et la plage ne se trouve qu'à quelques mètres – il suffit de traverser une petite promenade pour se retrouver sur le sable. À cette époque de l'année (février), il n'y avait que très peu de monde, et nous avions donc la plage à nous tous seuls ou presque. C'était vraiment agréable. Le seul point négatif est le bruit. L'appartement donne sur une cour qui résonne énormément. Dès que quelqu'un parle ou claque une porte, ou qu'un chien aboie, on l'entend comme si c'était dans la pièce à côté. Nous avons globalement mal dormi pendant notre séjour (surtout dans la petite chambre à lit double) et avons été réveillés plusieurs fois par nuit. À noter pour ceux qui rechercheraient le calme... Sinon le séjour était très bien!
