Golden Gardens 1f

This was a great apartment and I've stayed in a few in Javea over the years. Well equipped, comfortable, quiet, good parking (both on street and underground) and a 10 minute walk from the beach.

Really happy we booked this and really happy to book it again another time when heading back to Javea!

We had a fabulous time in Arenal, Javea. The walk from this apartment to the beach is 7 minutes. The beach is great, we hired sun beds 6 euros each and the brolly was 6 euros, we also paid for a shower card as these are not free to use. The foot showers as you leave the beach are free. Many bars and really good restaurants all along the promenade, our favourite was 'Aqua'.
The apartment complex and pool were immaculate, pool cleaned early every morning. The actual apartment was perfect for our needs. We took our 14 year old son with us, so the wifi is a must and worked very well, all 3 of us could use our devices at the same time. TV does not have many English channels, just some kids channels, this was not a problem for us. The air con works very well, both bedrooms and the lounge have a unit. Apartment spotless and modern, everything you need in the kitchen if you wanted to eat in. We will definitely return.

Only thing missing is WIFI.
For the rental price charged, should be included.

A well presented modern apartment with good quality furnishings and a well equiped kitchen. Air conditioning worked well. Although situated adjacent to the local infant school this was not a problem - this is a quiet location. Conveniently situated for the beach area,shops and restaurants which are only a couple of minutes walk away. Secure underground car parking inluded.

A really comfortable modern flat (brand new when we stayed there in 2008),which is spacious and well-equipped. The pools a good size too and there werent many people around at the beginning of September so we often had it to ourselves. With our two young children it was just over a 5-minute walk to the beach - an advantage because youre close enough but also away from the hubbub. Its a very pleasant beach with good restaurants, bars and ice creams and we enjoyed exploring both Javea and the surrounding area. Wed have no problems going back there and wed very probably try and stay in this flat again.

Overall I was happy with the apartment we rented. It was aesthetically very pleasing. With that said it there were a couple of things that were frustrating. The first and my biggest gripe was that there was insufficient hot water for more than 2 people to take a hot shower. The next was that there was no supplies for the bathroom, toilet paper, soap etc. I would have expected these items, or at least some communication that these items were not in the apartment so I could have planned accordingly. I had other family members renting apartments at the same time and their rentals came fully "stocked". Not a major deal but aggravating. Lastly the keyless entry system did not work properly...the release system to allow a person to hit a button and allow a person to get into the complex did not work...once again my gripes are minor (except the hot water) and overall the apartment was very nice.

Hi Shaun, Thank you for your review. I am surprised you did not have toilet paper and soap in the bathroom as the cleaners do provide this. Also we were unaware of the insufficient hot water. The apartment has been occupied throughout the summer and no one has mentioned this to us. With regards the button you have to press to leave the complex, we will pass the message onto the company who look after the communal gardens and pool.
