Ribera Beach apartments

Fantastic. We went during the first week of September: glorious weather, very quiet area on the very edge of the Mar Menor - a shallow salt lagoon - so safe, warm and perfect for children. There are small slides and climbing frames all along the sand and also in every courtyard in every village! Lots in the area to do if you prefer beach, pool and sights to theme parks (although there are some a drive away). Can't praise this area enough- best holiday ever.

The apartment was privately rented (owner found through holidaylettings.co.uk - reference: 47907) and was great - microwave, washing machine, air con, plastic crockery for the kids, cot, highchair and even a hot tub on the patio.

With cheap flights (use skyscanner.net for all the best prices) from easyjet at
