Ray Boarding... 

Now this is a sport i would like to try! 

'The sight of a ray gliding by is not easily forgotten. But the jealousy of the ray’s freedom has an end and water sport has its new attraction!

With the iQ-Ray-Board you can glide smoothly through the underwater world. Pulled by a boat on a rope, you only need to tilt the Ray-Board slightly to plunge under water. Soon you will learn to “fly” wide curves and to take advantage of the full mobility of the Ray-Board. Weightless you will make your turns, perfect your twists, refine your manoeuvres…

…and the fascinating new board sport will have you firm in its grip!'

Nerja Restaurant: Italian Antica Roma

Views of Balcon De Europa... 

We visited this restaurant for the first time the start of June 2012 and we loved it... The scollops to start was very well marinated and delicious. The tuna steak was cooked to perfection and my friends seem best pleased with their choice of the traditional italian dish mushroom risotto. Having visited Nerja every year for the past 15 years we have not yet come across such a lovely position for a restaurant. The views are wonderful and will definitely visit again.

Latest reviews for Apartments/ Villas around Nerja and Marbella... 

Accomodation: Burriana Beach 2 bed Apartment, Nerja

22.06.12

"We have just enjoyed our 4th holiday in Nerja on the Burriana Beach. It is the perfect spot for a quiet, relaxing week on the beach with a good selection of bars and restaurants. The apartment was ideally situated for the beach, bars and restaurant. It was clean and comfortable and well appointed. We would recommend it and would certainly consider a return stay in the future. The service from Gill Johnson Holidays has been very efficient and helpful. Taxi transfers on time, price as quoted and helpful drivers."

"Brilliant villa in a brilliant location.  The view is stunning down the valley to the sea. Everything about the villa was perfect. It would be difficult to find a better BBQ location anywhere. We would return, for another holiday, but I'm afraid a couple in our party found the road a little daunting.  We had no trouble with the road, but the hair-pins were a challenge.

Our Favourite reviews this month... 

Accommodation:  Acapulco 2 bedroom apartment Nerja. 

31.05.12

"Just a note to say how much we enjoyed your lovely apartment. We all had such nice holiday, and enjoyed the perfect spot you have. The sea is something we always love, so of course the views were second to none, the pool and grassy garden was what the girls wanted, eating places so easy to find, we loved Bamboo the best and ate there most nights.  What else can i say!"

"If i have one thing to say and its not a complaint, is a shade on the balcony for the very hot morning sun would be lovely and a big improvement. 
Once again thank you, we will be in touch to book for next year."

- Yvonne Tanner 

27.06.12

"We very much enjoyed our ten days at the apartment. The views from the balcony are exceptional. The location provides the best of both worlds with a short stroll up to the Balcon or just down the road, with plenty of good restaurants to choose from. Thank you for the welcome pack and organising the taxis which were spot on time both ways. It was also very nice to meet Gill and put a face to a name. "

Accommodation: 1D Portal 2 bedroom apartment Burriana Beach, Nerja. 

10.06.12

"We returned from our holiday last Sunday and would like to thank you for all your assistance in the organisation of our holiday and say that we found the apartment absolutely brilliant. Very comfortable, clean and spacious and with a large balcony overlooking the sea front where we spend most of our days. We had no trouble finding our text at Malaga airport. Mark was there to greet us on arrival and showed us round and answered all our questions and ensuring that we had a contact number for him before leaving us to get on with sun worshipping! He also checked with us later in the week to confirm the taxi times for our return to Malaga, all went off with our a hitch. All in all we had a wonderful week and would not hesitate in using you again should we decide to go on another holiday."

Accommodation: 2 Bedroom Burriana Beach, Nerja. 

10.06.12

"Just wanted to say how lovely our apartment was and a huge thank you for a short notice booking. 
We had a wonderful time and it was just what the doctor ordered! 
Please tell Jacquie her apartment was spotlessly clean and very cosy, there was plenty of room to hang clothes and more than enough drawer space. The matching coat hangers added that special touch, such a pleasure from everyone else's left behind miss matches. (i sound such a snob, only a woman would appreciate this) but it is the sort of thing i would do. Also all the hooks to hang things on was so useful. 
The taxi driver a very pleasant man. 
We are hoping to return beginning of September,"

- Yvonne Freeman
