Pool View GOLF FAMILY Ground Floor Terrace with barbecue in Mijas Costa

nothing

Late check in, early check out, 200€ deposit, long wait for deposit refunded. VERY strict rules. In almost 20 years of coming to La Cala Hills, including ten in a family-owned apartment and staying in half a dozen other different apartment blocks, I have never encountered such strict rules and regulations regarding community do's and don'ts. After visiting the pool and putting the provided sunbeds around the pool on many occasions, one day we were visited by the spokesperson for the community complex who informed us that they had been complaints that we had actually put sunbeds around the pool!!!! We were there a week and apart from the four of us we only saw three other people in the pool all week. She was very abrupt and soon gained the nickname The Karen. We were also warned that no glass was allowed around the pool but I was quick to point out that we were drinking out of plastic glasses but of course that was not good enough as the bottle we poured the drink from was glass. Ok I said, my bad and we apologized but we also pointed out that if she was such a stickler for the rules then perhaps the lady upstairs could calm it down a bit with the stomping around the apartment in high heels at 3 in the morning to which The Karen said she would speak to her. F.Y.I... She never did, which suggests that god forbid you put a sunbed around the pool but it's okay to practice your flamenco dancing all night in high heels, which she did most evenings or mornings as it were. Lovely apartment but I would never come back because I never slept and I like to relax on holiday but The Karen made it impossible. P.s..... if you do consider this apartment, please remember not to hang your towels over the balcony!!
