“Superb Apartment.”
On arrival a superb welcome pack of fresh fruit, enough for us all week, bottle of wine and water was left for us. The location was perfect, the balcony is very big and is perfect if you don't like to sit in direct sun. You enter from ground level in the carpark but when you walk through to the balcony you are on 1st level with a great view of the Marina. You are no more than 200 metres from a quiet stoney beach which makes up for no swimming pool and same from the 1st bar on the strip. The decor is very modern and Bathroom shower is excellent. There is a big bbq on the balcony to use. There is also a huge TV and a medium TV in bedroom both with Netflix. Wife loved the Walk in wardrobe with full length Mirror and skylight. Photos didn't do the property justice.

“Excellent apartment Playa Blanca harbour”
Location excellent for town, buses, restaurants and harbour. Very quiet despite having car park at front and rear. Open covered area at front of apartment is a south facing sun trap overlooking harbour. Barbecue there but we didn't use it. Apartment very well appointed but we didn't use most of the appliances as we only had breakfast there. Washing machine (in the bathroom) was very well used though. Calle de la Chalana is actually a car park (tons of space) not a conventional road but that didn't matter and it has direct access to the main promenade. Harbour bus stop a few yards away. Never met Oscar but I'm sure he would have been very helpful if we had needed him. Playa Blanca is a lovely town, already booked for next year in another apartment as El Galeón not available for our dates.

“Nice relaxing break in a lovely clean apartment.”
The location was excellent, overlooking the marina and ferry port. On arrival there was a platter of fresh fruit and a bottle of wine in the fridge, which was a very nice touch indeed. Sitting on the balcony is a great spot for people watching.

“Lovely apartment in central location”
Lovely apartment overlooking the port and Oscar was a very responsive host and easily contactable if needed. The apartment has been done to a high standard and a lovely touch with the fruit wine and chocolate. Very close to all the bars and restaurants, also easy walking to beaches, just a good location.

“Great week in the wonderful El Galeón apartment. Highly recommend.”
Wonderful apartment in great location. Near to many restaurants, bars and shops. Very central to walk to both The Rubicon or Flamingo Beach areas. Great supermarkets nearby. Fantastic views of the harbour. Really appreciated wine, fruit and water left by Oscar. Apartment had everything you need for comfortable stay (including beach towels) Great host - easily contactable and quick to respond. We stay in Playa Blanca every January and this was one of our best visits yet.

“Hidden Gem”
This is a fabulous apartment, beautiful views of the marina in a perfect location. Supermarket 2 mins walk away. Loads of bars, restaurants, cafés all within walking distance. Looking out to the marina from the terrace there's a beach to the right and 2 beaches to the left. The 2nd beach to the right is fantastic, lovely sand and amazingly clear water. Here you can hire 2 person jet-ski's, pedalo's and more, this beach also has a beach bar. Oscar's apartment is beautiful. A/C is brilliant. Apartment was spotlessly clean, towels provided. Wine and fruit was there when we arrived which was a lovely touch. Big TV and welcoming terrace with bbq which is great for morning coffee and late evening drinks watching the world go by. Oscar is an amazing host, very professional, very quick with responses and a pleasure to communicate with. Was flexible too which was most helpful. Without a doubt I would definitely recommend this apartment, and we will return to this hidden gem again. Thank you Oscar 😊

A lovely location within easy reach of everything. The apartment had a lovely balcony, which I used a great deal, It was warm and sheltered with a great view of the harbour, which always had something going on. The apartment was very well equipped with everything I might possibly want. The apartment is very deceiving from the outside and at first glance, but once you open the door and go in, you will be very pleased. There is a good supermarket to the left when you go out the front door at the roundabout.
