Arcos II is the studio complex of the Arcos pair. It's on Avenida de las Fuentes, a few steps from Las Fuentes beach and 250 metres from the marina, and the site is fully gated, with gardens and a pine wood that shades much of the complex.
It's one of Casa Azahar's most affordable options, and the most convenient if you want to leave the car parked (outside the complex) and do everything on foot: beach, marina, supermarket and restaurants.
Pools and garden
Arcos II has two seasonal pools, one for adults and one for children, in a garden with lawns and pine trees. As it's gated, it's also a peaceful option for small families.
What the Arcos II studios are like
The Arcos II studios measure about 35-38 m² and sleep up to 4 people: a double bed or two singles, a living-dining area with sofa bed, kitchen, bathroom with shower or bath, ceiling fan and a large terrace. There are several categories:
- Standard studios: basic equipment, with a ceiling fan. These are the cheapest.
- Superior studios: some refurbished in loft style, with air conditioning, washing machine and a better-equipped kitchen.
- Ground-floor studios: with a terrace facing the pines or a quiet street.
Only the studios whose listing mentions it have air conditioning. In July and August it's worth choosing one of them; in spring and September the fan is usually enough.
The terraces, the best part of the studio
Every Arcos II studio has a large terrace. For a couple it's the summer dining room: breakfast looking out over the pines, dinner in the fresh air and lingering over coffee without leaving the apartment. Eating on the terrace with produce from the market is also one of the easiest ways to save money.
