"Australia Apartments - The Naked Truth"
Travel date:
November 2001
This was an excellent choice for a self-catering holiday. There's tons on hand with the Yumbo only two minutes away and the Kasbah just five minutes distant, (if you know the short-cut). We ate out virtually every night, mostly in the various restaurants in the Yumbo, with the apartment handy for tea/snacks during the day and a quiet drink/supper late on. Next door in the Europa there was a genuine wee Spanish restaurant, and the Australia had a quiet wee Spanish bar.
The pool and solarium were more than adequate, and who cares that the sheets and towels were changed just twice a week? What more do you want? It's handy for everything, including the beach, which also has some smashing wee pubs and restaurants - and a McDonalds - plus a few shops - oh! and wild parrots in the trees.
Our operator, Airtours, even had a wee room we could use after checkout where we could stash our luggage, shower and change while we waited for an evening transfer to the airport, which meant the whole day was ours - no boring hanging about - we took an excursion that brought us back in nice time.
A great holiday if you're not fussy about being waited on hand and foot.
