Calpe is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, and is known for its beautiful beaches, sunny climate and wide range of holiday accommodation. If you are looking to rent an apartment for your next holiday in Calpe, here are some tips to help you choose the perfect apartment.

1. LOCATION

The first thing to consider when looking for an apartment in Calpe is its location. Do you prefer to be close to the beach or in a quieter area away from the hustle and bustle of tourism? Make sure the apartment is in a location that suits your preferences and needs. From Mercasa we recommend that if your intention is to go to the beach, choose a first line apartment. First line means that you don’t have to cross any roads to get to the beach. Your family will thank you for it, as it is very uncomfortable when you have to carry sunshades, chairs, and have to walk around for 5 minutes.

2. SIZE:

The size of the apartment is another important factor to consider. If you are travelling as a family or in a group, you will need a larger apartment with enough rooms and common space for everyone. If you are travelling alone or as a couple, a smaller apartment might be sufficient.

The 1-bedroom apartments are suitable for a married couple with two small children. If you have a family of 2 children over the age of 14, we already recommend that you choose a 2-bedroom apartment.

The 3-bedroom apartments are prepared for 6 adults and two children.

3. SERVICES

Check the services offered by the apartment. Does it have air conditioning, Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, dishwasher? These services can make all the difference to your holiday experience.

An air-conditioned apartment will have a higher price, but on days when there is no air at all it is nice to have the possibility to turn it on.

Another important detail is the difference between having private or community internet. Community internet in the summer doesn’t work as well, as many people connect to the same service. Private internet, on the other hand, is like the internet you have in your own home that allows you to watch Netflix, HBO, Disney +, etc.

4. PRICE:

Of course, price is a determining factor for many when choosing an apartment. Make sure that the price fits your budget and that there are no unpleasant surprises after booking.

Normally, prices on the internet are final prices including VAT. But it’s worth checking to avoid surprises.

In Mercasa the prices are for your stay in the apartment, if you want parking space is a separate service, as is the rental of cradle, baby chair, etc.

5. FLEXIBILITY OF CANCELLATION:

Be sure to check the apartment’s cancellation policy. Do they offer flexibility in case of changes of plans or cancellations? This is important information to keep in mind in case of unforeseen events.

At Mercasa, cancellations are free of charge if you give more than 30 days’ notice.

6. CUSTOMER SERVICE:

Last but not least, make sure that the company that manages the apartment offers good customer service. Are they available to help you in case you need assistance or additional information? This will give you peace of mind and confidence in your choice.

In short, choosing the perfect apartment for your holiday in Calpe requires careful research and attention to detail. Take these tips into account and make sure you choose an apartment that suits your needs and expectations so that you can make the most of your holiday in this beautiful tourist destination.
