Apartamentos la Baranda

4th time at these lovely apartments in the last two years ... and will not be the last. Very busy when we were there but you wouldn't know it around the pool, plenty of sunbeds for all, and the pool was warm. The guests were mainly that bit older which meant peace and quiet for everyone. Many thanks to Stephanie and Sara in the office who do a great job and are always ready for a chat and give advice.

Paid a second visit four years after the first. Friendly and helpful owners and spotless apartments, grounds and pool. Quiet, ideal location for La Carihuela, Torremolinos and Benalmadena. We'll be back.

Basic but perfectly equipped apartments. Spacious and clean. Great air con. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Great location. Short walk to the beach/prom and train station. Aldi just 5 mins away and the hotel provide shopping trolleys which is a fab idea. Very quiet with mostly Dutch guests. They let us check in early and check out late without charging us which is rare these days and very much appreciated. Can’t wait to return!

Great apartments tucked nicely out of the way. A real Spanish feel to the architecture and design and very well maintained. We had apt 3w that opened up onto the pool area. A spacious clean 1 bedroom apt with all you need for a self catering holiday. The complex is very clean and secure. There is a small.gym on the ground floor and a huge Aldi 5 mins away. The beach is a 5 min stroll downhill and there are small late nigsuoer markets near by. We would definitely return and it was extremely good value for money. Mainly Dutch people there and they were very nice. Great place to stay.

We booked to stay here after our original accommodation became unavailable. It was a lovely find and we are so pleased we chose these apartments. It is a small complex in a residential area, around 15 minutes from the airport by taxi. It was very quiet, which we loved, and were in Room 1, right near reception and nearest the pool from our terrace. We had a studio which was basic, but suited our needs for the week. The grounds are kept spotless and very pretty The complex up a hill from the resort, and could be a bit much for those less mobile. In the heat it was quite a climb, but a nice touch is the shopping trollies you can borrow on wheels to escort your groceries back from the town. The pool was warmish and not the usual cold you tip toe into. We had the pool to ourselves a lot of the time as it was so quiet. No hogging of sunbeds and guests reserving them, then go out for the day. We went out to the town and arrived back around 10.30am and not one bed was in use or reserved. That is what we like. Many a time we have had to get up early to bag a bed! The ladies on reception are all lovely and very helpful. You can borrow hairdryers and irons if you don’t take your own. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone.

We stayed for 4 nights and couldn’t fault the hospitality. From check in to check out, an excellent friendly service was provided. Apartments have air con, safe and are simply but practically furnished with a Spanish feel. Lovely sized balcony with clothes drier too. Pool and veranda area are great and it was peaceful to be in a more residential area away from all of the big hotels on the front. If you’re looking for comfortable, friendly, smaller accommodation then this place is an excellent choice

Really friendly staff, helpful, quiet location but only 5-10 minutes from shops, restaurants and beach. Decent size pool area, never too busy. Staff couldnt have been more helpful.

Lovely clean apartments in a perfect location. Very friendly staff, great pool area. Highly recommend these apartments

We were fortunate enough to be given room 22, which is in a small courtyard below the pool and reception. The apartment was spacious and probably the biggest we have had anywhere over the years, with sun just outside from mid morning till early evening. The cooking facilities were not the best but we ate out every night so was never an issue. The air conditioning was a very welcome relief. The pool was really warm and on our first day we were the only ones there, even when it was busy there were plenty of loungers for all. Stefanie and her team couldn’t do enough for you, and we’re genuinely interested in your day and had answers for all the silly boring questions that they have probably heard a hundred times before.....many thanks guys and hopefully see you next year. La Carihuela is 5 minutes down the hill, with a fantastic array of restaurants and bars. It really is a special little town and I didn’t want to leave. John and Elaine.
