Why I keep listening about the Apartments Marbella ? Friends say they are posh and lofty apartments, with a delightful view of the ocean and easy access to the beach. The apartments are close from the centre of town, Marbella, one of the hottest spots in Spain to shop, be seen, or spot a superstar.

Lets face it, that is not why I am on vacation! For me its to unwind, relax and not have to concern myself about details. I’m not having that experience at all. I write this while staying at the Hilton Marbella, not a budget hotel, even for a working professional. This was a quick get away but still not much time to do research, so I went for the well known name. Now I’m really paying the price. So what is it about Apartments Marbella?

I take a trip to inspect the apartments myself. After a cruise of the Apartments Marbella, I understand. Overlooking the beaches are rows of quaint white clay apartments, each with a traditional Spanish flavour, but with distinct personalities. I fall in love instantly with a two bedroom apartment, that has a lovely nook, the place for coffee in the morning while reading a newspaper, watching the early morning waves come on shore, or for a romantic dinner, sipping wine while watching the sun go down. This particular apartment also has a small pool, a private place to sun bathe in the nude. The Apartments Marbella, come furnished, all you need is to pick up some essentials. Not much thought nor planning, just pure relaxation! Maybe next time!
