Having stayed at many different apart-hotels and hotels over the last few years near Malaga, Fuingerola, Torremolinoes, Marbella, Manilva, Mijas, Puerto Banus etc., We returned with children to stay for two weeks for the fourth consecutive year to Pierre Et Vaccances, Estepona as have found this as one of the best places to stay for a family holiday. Nice, clean, spacious apartments with well equipped kitchenettes, very friendly and helpful staff, the best attraction is the Swimming pool which is big, with plenty of loungers around, has a very good gradient to it meaning children & non swimmers too can enjoy it. The pool side entertainment activities run by the gentle man called Chocolatte are the star attraction. Yoga, Water aerobics and dance, Pool side games, Water Polo, Water Volleyball, table tennis, Snooker etc. through out the day keeps every one really entertained. In the evenings there can be Flamenco or Bingo with kids games and dancing at the pool side bar. Overall a very well run and managed place.
A rental car is very much required to enjoy the stay here to the fullest, if you have one, then nothing is far including shopping esstentials from super markets just a mile away with a few great restaurants eg Jaipur Purple, Burger King, Aroma etc. Options for both free on the street & paid secure underground parking are available, we took the paid option.
Things to improve : Cigarette vending machine required, Menu and food variety in restaurant must improve.
