penthouse marina duquesa 953 Manilva - Apartamento

We never normally leave reviews, however, we felt that our experience warranted one.
This is our first experience of staying in an apartment as we have always stayed in 5* hotels, however, we came to help my husband’s daughter who lives in Manilva and has just had baby number 4.
Firstly Costa Holidays, specifically Sophie, were excellent to deal with. We had a couple of issues (which I’ll come to later) that she did her utmost to resolve.
Positives:
The location of the block is fabulous and apartment 953 is a great size with a wonderful terrace and
outstanding views.
Running alongside the beach and promenade, literally 1 minutes walk into the Marina, there are numerous restaurants and bars.
Being so close we expected noise, however were pleasantly surprised that it was quiet.
The apartment is very spacious, albeit slightly dated in decor, but very comfortable and clean with additional touches included.
A couple of things to note.
It was quite cool at night and the heater system in the lounge was only blowing cold air. We did inform Costa Holidays who sent an engineer straight away. Unfortunately, during our stay it couldn’t be fixed as a part was needed, however, Sophie did send round a heater which helped.
The cooker didn’t work at all well, which again I reported and the owners have now ordered a new one.
The underground parking is also very convenient, and the pool and ground areas are very well kept with plenty of sun loungers.

The apartment has excellent views of the sea and mountains from its roof top terrace. The whole experience from initial booking to collecting the keys is easy and well managed by Costa. The staff are very polite and always happy to help with any queries, it’s also a plus having the Costa Holidays office in the Harbour, so if you have any questions it’s easy to call in to chat with the staff.

The location is great & the views from the terrace are amazing
