July to August 2010
This will have been our 15th visit to the area and by far the best apartment we have ever stayed in. The grounds are magnificent bettered only by the apartment itself which is both luxurious and homely. Every eventually has been catered for making it the perfect apartment. All this is only matched by the next door neighbour who is helpful, kind and now a friend.
We also love to go to La Famiglia, which is a family owned Italian Restaurant just off the Orange Square in Marbella. This has to be the finest restaurant in the whole world!! As well as that we go to Los Abanicos in Benhavis and also the Colessum Italian just up from the Mercadona in Nueva Andalucia. If you don't fancy cooking get a takeaway. It is delicious. For lunch El Dorado do the perfect tapas. Definitely a must.
For car hire we use Sebastian at Autos Costasol in La Campana everything is so easy just get the car at the airport, no waiting around and then go and pay the next day. Fabulously easy.
If you want to travel further afield do go to Malaga it is a perfect day out for cultural sightseeing, the Picasso Museum, the Alcazaba and some fab tapas restaurants. If you fancy taking in a flamenco show, Ana Maria just further up from La Familigia do a great show, quite pricey, but definitely worth it as a one off.

On 15th June 2009 I ended my comments in this book with 'See you next year!' and here we are again. Had the most fabulous week once again. Weather amazing, food fabulous and our host always fantastic. The apartment is so welcoming and homely and we really felt at home here. We've now developed a love for Marbella! Sure to see you again.

We have had a lovely time here at Puerto Banus. Apartment is fantastic and we have felt right at home. Many thanks for making us feel so welcome and thanks for all helpful advice on places to go and eat. Our kids loved the pool and the goign to Mijas Water Park. We all enjoyed going to Ronda, definitely worth the drive for spectacular views and scenery. Hopefully we will be back again.
July to August 2010
We have had a very relaxed holiday in your gorgeous apartment. It has been perfect for the children with the pool .. .and the paddling pool supplied by you! We have all slept well with the pitch black rooms and eaten very well from the BBQ. We recommend Restaurante Girasol for delicious food and a good atmosphere. However, the terrace at No.79 was a fab place to chill out and enjoy a glass or two of vino.

We had a fantastic and relaxing holiday in Puerto Banus and really loved the apartment which was beautiful and peaceful. And what a poolside! We slept well, enjoyed the sun and swimming. Visited Ronda, so beautiful old town. Visited also in San Juan Festival in Sand Pedro's beach and Nueva Andalucia Saturday Market. Kids loved Selwo Marina Park, TiviliWord in Benalmadena, Aqualand Waterpark in Torremolinos. Thank you fo rthe adive and friendliness!

Thank you so much for your hospitality this week. We have had a fantastic time at your apartment in Puerto Banus, We couldn't have wished for a better and more relaxing holiday and it always helps when the weather is good and we picked a great week! We have packed such a lot into a short space of time and have enjoyed visits to the Sealife Centre in Benalmadena, walks along the promenade in Marbella, drooling over the boats in Puerto Banus adn a visit to the Saturday market which is well worth going to. We would certainly recommend chilling out by the pool as there is a fabulous breeze at all times.

Had a very relaxing holiday in a super apartment. Very good swimming pool area - very chilling - especially if you prefer to be quiet as most of the time we were the only ones there! Would recommend eating down by the marina (Puerto Banus) - special deals 3 cours for 18.95 at several restaurants and the standard of food was amazing. Take-away from Indian Taj Mahal really nice, very large portions.
Walked to Marbella, wear your trainers/comfy shoes - along the beach front, lovely walk, takes approx 1 and 3/4 hours. Spent a day at Buddha Beach and champagne spraying at Ocean Club. Free entry to both but very expensive drinks but a great OK Magazine experience! Our host pointed us in the directionof a bar called El Jardin whicgh we visited twice - again very nice and chilling but also gets busy.
Last but not least a thank you to our host, on hand with many suggestions of places to visit - if only we had another week or so!

Fab, brilliant, gorgeous - and that's just our host! Had a great break, just what a new mum needed especially with Grandma's help. Sooooo relaxing, we felt part of the furniture even after a few days. Loved the great hospitality and friendliness of everyone. Hope to be back soon, adios for now!
April 2010
So ... what do you say! Fantastic apartment, love the colour and layout. Lovely and quiet, everyone wants a peaceful holiday. Daniel loved playing with the toy lizards left around the garden to scare people! Our host, brilliant neighour, very helpful. Thanks so much for the wonderful hospitality over the week and hope to see you again, but only if the weather gets better! (it rained most of the week)
- It's now 2016 and we are still stuck in Puerto Banus because Iceland's Vinny the Volcano is still blowing off steam! All jokes aside, you've been a fantastic help. Thanks again, 'The Converted Spaniards' (the rain continued on their enforced break!)
Very relaxing holiday in this wonderful apartment in a very peaceful location. Our children really enjoyed the mini-trampoline, swimming pool and of course Sky Kids TV. Fantastic facilities for family group. We would recommend: La Notre, Puerto Banus for coffee and lunch; Evita Restaurant for every dinner; San Pedro market on Thursday morning; Sea front promenade at San Pedro for great morning and evening walks.

So here we are 1 year and 1 day after I last wrote in this book about this fabulous apartment and the most amazing holiday. This time was even better, the location, the weather and once again the fantastic ‘2nd home’ and hostess with the mostest! We are in Marbella for one further week (we don’t like leaving!) but nothing can beat the 2 weeks we have had at Chez Sharon. Days by the pool, beach, days at Nikki Beach, Buddha Beach and Heaven Beach. Nights in the Port, Marbella, Elviria with our friends and above all nights in at Chez Sharon. We love this place and will see you again next year!
July 2009
Hard to know where to start! The apartment was absolutely first class and had everything we could wish for. The complex was ideal, the pool was super and it’s so good not worrying about getting a lounger – felt so secure. Loved ‘eating in’ and ‘eating out’, thanks to the great barbeque supplied by the hostess with the mostest. We tried several restaurants but the best were Evita, beside the Point Bar which did fabulous steaks and also Bangkok Chinese restaurant. The highlight of our holiday was our jaunt to the town of Ronda, beautiful.
July 2009
We too have had a wonderful week in this apartment which has everything needed – and more! – for a nice and relaxing holiday. The nice warm swimming pool, the terrace outside and the stylish interior, and last but not least our great hostess (I wish we could have her as a neighbor back home in the Netherlands). We can recommend the sushi restaurant Sushi des Artistes and a visit to the beach club of the Marbella Club Hotel. The buffet there is not cheap but really good.
June 2009
So much to say about this apartment, we couldn’t ask for more for our first family holiday with our 11-month old baby. Sharon catered for everything we could need and more. The apartment is beautiful and the location perfect. We ate down at Puerto Banus on a few occasions and we have to recommend Dolce Vita restaurant, it’s quite expensive but the food was great and the staff fantastic with our daughter. Also, if you take a left at the apartment there is a little restaurant called Johnny’s which was very cheap but the food was gorgeous.
June 2009Thank you so much for a wonderful week. We absolutely loved the apartment – I’m looking for a similar front room once I’m home! Thank you for all your help and information, plus the delicious birthday cake. Looking forward to coming again.
October 2008
We have had a fantastic holiday here, the apartment was great, modern with funky decor and with everything you could ask for ... it definitely does have the 'X-Factor'! Being close to Puerto Banus is a great location for visting Ronda, Granada, Malaga and Marbella. We can recommend a great little cafe in Marbella called Goyo (Calle Alonson de Bazar 3) which has great coffee and even better cakes. Also good is the big swimming pool on the complex or a nice wander to the local cafes near the apartment. All in all we had a fab time, thank you for your warm welcome and hospitality.
October 2008
Thank you very much for a wonderful stay in this nice apartment. We have had a really nice holiday here in Puerto Banus. We would like to recommend Selwo Aventura Safari Park where our kids really love to go. We're not looking forward to going back to Norway for the winter but we might come back here again next year. Thank you again for your hospitality.
September 2008
Would like to say what a fantastic time we have had here ... your apartment is lovely, more than you could ever wish for and more on holiday. Everything you need is here and the location is fab. We ventured to Buddha Boutique Beach Bar - a great day out for sunbathing, lovely food and drinks served to your sun lounger. It's not cheap, but I didn't think too overpriced either (around EUR 5.00 for a glass of wine and EUR 30.00 for a sunbed for a day). Thanks again, we'll be back!
September 2008
Just wanted to add that we to have had a great week here. The apartment is extremly comfortable and located in a great spot. We would recommend the Catamaran trip highly, we saw seven dolphins - very cool! ... we are looking forward to our next visit to your uber-stylish apartment.
August 2008
Fantastico! We couldn't have wished for a better apartment - it has everything we wanted and more! Its a beautiful apartment on a brilliant complex (Cumbres del Rodeo) and suited us to the ground. We cannot recommend enough a visit to the Saturday market at Puerto Banus, and a spot of people watching in Puerto Banus. Loved the Nueva Andalucia area and location - its a great place to chill or party - as you wish, the best of both worlds.
August 2008
We have had a once in a lifetime holiday spending nearly seven weeks in Marbella. We have stayed in lovely apartments and areas but nothing could hold a candle to this apartment and Nueva Andalucia as a location. The decor in the apartment is truly fantastic. We felt at home from day and are really sad to leave. We will be back and we will keep your apartment as 'our little secret' only telling our best friends.
July 2008
Super time. Really was what we wanted from our holiday. Peaceful but perfectly located for excellent shopping, bars, beaches, etc. Kids loved the swimming pool. Loved the apartment, it had everything and more - we'll be back if you'll have us!
June 2008
Waking up every morning to bright sunshine ... and lots of peace and quiet in a lovely setting, you can't beat it! I've had a totally relaxing holiday here and hand on heart its the nicest apartment I've stayed in!
June 2008
I am very sad to be writing in this book as it is our last evening. ... I would have to say that one of my favourite evenings has been at this amazing little terrace, candles lit, incence burning, paella cooking and wine flowing, all this to be had at 'Cumbres del Rodeo'.
