The view from the apartment was great, it was amazing to see the sun rise/set from the balcony and roof terrace. Apartment was clean when we checked in.
The range of amenities at the apartment was very good, but the pool was closed during our stay in October. There is a barbecue on the roof terrace and a good range of utensils in the kitchen, which is useful for cooking simple meals. The manager Danny was responsive when we contacted him during our stay. Although he doesn't speak English, he tried his best to communicate with us.
The area is on the far side of La Manga so it can be difficult to get some top-up shopping. There is a grocery store not far from the apartment but I didn't visit during my stay. Due to pollution, Mar Menor sometimes smelled but this is beyond the owner's control.
Things to improve:
1) The internet at the apartment wasn't working for the first 3-4 days because the owner didn't pay the bills. When the wifi was activated, the bandwidth was slow and it was not possible to stream movies.
2) The Netflix on the TV needs updating.
3) Better instructions on how to operate the cooking hob. It took a while to figure out how the dials worked as it was working in a reverse order to the UK, eg dial 1 was max heat.
4) The window on the balcony doesn't stop rain water from seeping into the area. The potted plants on the balcony were soaked and dead and could potentially be breeding ground for mosquitoes.
5) The sewage pipe in the small bathroom stank.
