    The apartment was in an industrial area of car dealerships. There was no supermarket except a small Carrifour in a gas station. The apartment was very old and very badly kept. The kitchen although had a washing machine and a tiny dishwasher it lacked baking dishes and only had three wine glasses odd cups cracked dishes. The oven only had one temperature and that was extremely hot and the fridge was very old and stained. The patio furniture was old rattan broken with nuts and bolts falling out and the rattan all split .The huge umbrella was also broken.The bedroom and bathroom was a good size and the water pressure was very good. The bathroom was ensuite so if somebody was sleeping on the pull-out couch they would have to wait till the morning to use the bathroom otherwise walk through the bedroom and into the bathroom which wasn't very private. There was one restaurant on the beach and the prices were astronomical for instance a steak is €75 and two slices of bread were €6 50 . We ended up walking about 6 minutes and in an area where there was lots of car repair garages we found a local Spanish restaurant that served a three-course meal including wine or beer for €12 which was delicious piping hot and very generous. But if you didn't have a app on the phone you would never find it .

    The apartment was perfectly situated beside the beach and boardwalk and the view from my balcony was perfect.The problem was at exactly 3:00 p.m. the sun was gone from balcony and it became pretty chilly. The agent Tatiana was exceptional as when I arrived I was very ill and she got her colleague to help bring my luggage to the apartment and checked in most days to see how I was doing. I was also going to stay another week in a different apartment but it didn't work out but Tatiana took me to many apartments to see if they suted sadly they didn't. She was very kind patient .

    100% recommended! Great accomodation for group of people (we were there with 5 friends) - 3 bedrooms, living room with big table and entrance to the balcony, separate kitchen, two bathrooms. Easy to park in front of the building. Very kind and helpful Tatiana, who was very proactive. Thank you so much once again!

    If you dont have a car, maybe the walk from there to the centre of Marbella might be a little far.

    The apartment was really big and clean, it had a beautiful view of the beach. It has a big balcony with a table and chairs which is nice for having breakfast in the warmer months. The bedrooms are spacious and there's a lot of storage space as well. I had a great stay there.

    You will have to bring or buy everything including bin bags, washing tablets etc..it’s perfect if you have a car, there are shops nearby but you will have to carry your shopping bags or get a taxi back..

    Nice view, good location for the beach, lovely restaurant on the beach. We’ve asked for baby cot and it was provided on arrival.

    The location isn’t the greatest. Not much around the area as it’s quite industrial. There are no convenience shops around - although we found a 24-hour Carrefour Express as part of a petrol station that was just a 5min walk away. We walked 20-50 mins to get to places of interest, or Uber (which at 6 people adds up when you’re paying €20-€40 each time for a people carrier.)

    Very nice and spacious holiday apartment that suited our family of 6 very well.

    The place is perfect for enjoying some time close to the beach with friends and family. The availability of a swimming pool and a supermarket close by makes everything even nicer. The only drawback is that the center is not very close (20-30 minutes walking).

    Banana Beach provides 24h check out by letting guests collect the key directly on a security box. We had a three bedrooms apartment, fully furnished and equipped with small kitchen and balcony. The swimming pool was amazing, as well as the vicinity to the beaches.

    Pool facilities not open until midday, a large distance to other facilities such as shops and restaurants (apart from the 2 on the beach), perhaps a sewage issue in the building with stale smell in the property, air conditioning working at a very minimum and only in some rooms, towels or toiletries (including toilet paper) are not changed or re filled

    Beautiful views, nice pool, Tatinia was perfect to deal with, full communication and fast responses.

    - As it’s not a serviced apartment, I’d suggest providing more towels and bedding so guests have the option to change them as and when required - The mattresses weren’t the comfiest - On check out I handed the keys to the member of staff on duty but she didn’t really make any conversation with us to see how our stay was which is just the basic customer service you would expect

    + Close to beach + Terrace overlooked the beach & mountains as it was a side view + Spacious 3 bed, 2 bathroom apartment + Clean + Out of hours check in was easy

    The building work in the house just above our heads with extreme noise and drills. I had to work with conference calls and my friends needed rest with health issues but that was kind of impossible, just bad luck probably, but in reality the hosts should know and give a heads-up.

    The location on the beach, so close to the city. The size of the balcony (Deluxe apartment). Communication with hosts to get keys and early check-in. Great space with 2 bathrooms and everything you need really.

    The WiFi was somewhat patchy, not great in today's world with devices etc. There is parking, but it is not reserved (public access) so you might have to park far away. The swimming pools were closed - should this be disclosed in advance instead of crowing about the wonderful pools?

    Spacious apartment, couldn't be closer to the beach. Nive big beach, we found it kid-friendly. You do need to have access back to the apartment though, but tis is OK since it's so close. Facilities OK, sufficient for our purposes, but see some of the concerns below.

    The pool does not open till 12:30, it wasn't a major issue for us as we had the beach as well but for families this made be an issue. There were just a few things that would of made the stay a little better. At the beginning there was a lack of towels, however Tatiana, as soon as we asked, arranged for more to brought up. We also had a lack of toilet paper and were not given spare. But we finished ours on the second last day so didn't see the point in asking for more. I'm sure it would of been provided if we did.

    The apartment was really lovely, clean, comfortable, it had pretty much everything you need. The location was perfect, just on the beach and close to the main town. All our appliances worked perfectly and we had a really lovely stay. Tatiana was also an amazing host and was able to meet any ask we asked for. We were even allowed to stay an extra day by the pool and use its facilities before we needed to leave for the airport and Tatiana allowed us to store our cases in her office. Really amazing host who was accommodating and really friendly and always happy to help or give suggestions.
