Aparthotels in Málaga
By Dee McMath
Aparthotel: Holiday apartment rental
with main reception and other facilities on site
Tourists have been visiting Andalucia and especially
the Costa del Sol for some 40 years. It is not unusual to meet people
who have been coming back annually over a 20 year period. During
this time, the nature of tourism has changed and developed in many
different ways. Like the teenager, who reaches 21, wants to be free
and have the proverbial 'key to the door', similarly many of today's
tourists want their independence when on vacation. The aparthotel
is an excellent choice of accommodation for those who like more
freedom than with a hotel room and yet without feeling totally alone
in a far-flung, independently rented apartment.
This hybrid of apartment/hotel accommodation offers
the best of both worlds. Upon arrival you will collect the keys
at the reception desk and leave them there upon your departure,
just like with a hotel room. Services, such as cleaning, linen change,
etc will be carried out as agreed when you make your booking. This
may be once a week or every day, depending on the establishment
and the charges made. An aparthotel often has cafeteria and restaurant
facilities as well as swimming pool, bars and entertainment. Hotels
offer different rates, depending on whether you require half or
full board. With the aparthotel, the price will cover the accommodation
only and then you have the option to use on site or nearby facilities,
paying as you go. Since your apartment will have a fully equipped
kitchen, you have the choice of self-catering. This means that you
can cook when you choose and not be tied to a hotel meal timetable.
An advantage of the aparthotel over some more remote type of rentals
is that you can always contact the reception for advice or help
regarding car hire, where to eat, what's on, etc.
Aparthotels come in all shapes and sizes and like
hotels, are given star ratings. The general facilities, such as
air conditioning, lifts, size of the bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens
and bathrooms in the apartments will depend on the category and
star rating of the establishment. However, as in the case of hotels,
the star rating is there to ensure that certain legal norms are
adhered to. It does not dictate how friendly the service is or how
pleasant the overall surroundings or atmosphere may be. In other
words, people often have an equally wonderful holiday in one of
the more modest aparthotels as others do in a luxurious five star
establishment. In general, the standard of aparthotels on the Costa
del Sol and in Andalucia is usually very good and there are plenty
to choose from.
