Manzana Pools
Two weeks holiday equals total business madness upon return!
I promised myself I’d post stacks of information about our two weeks at Costa Esuri in August but the workload has been relentless.
I decided I must start and do a little each day.
Our apartment is on the ground floor and earlier in the year I decided we should have a gate installed so that we had direct access to the swimming pool area rather than going through the apartment and taking keys with us all of the time. If you have children you also know that it would mean getting up and down every two minutes because they need something indoors. 
Without a doubt it has been the best thing we’ve spent money on. The kids can run in and out as much as they like and we don’t have to think about taking out drinks etc etc.
We walked round all of the Manzanas at Marina Esuri and most were being used but typically by only a few people.
I originally thought the pools were rather small but I’ve found out that if they were any larger it is a Spanish regulation that there has to be a lifeguard on duty. That equals increased cost and shorter opening times.
In fact, the pool is plenty big enough and the paddling pool is great for younger children.
A perfect day? Costa Esuri Golf first thing, walk back for a quick swim, lunch then out to one of the beaches until early evening. Return for another swim, barbecue on the patio and a cool beer. Must get rid of this work nonsense!


Absolutely agree with you about the gate to the communal garden. When we bought our townhouse we assumed that it would have a gate (and thank goodness ours) because that was exactly the reason we either wanted a downstairs apartment or a house for easy access for children (and us) in and out of the house. We were speechless when we realised that to have a gate was not the “norm”! Great that you have been able to put one in … not everyone is going to have that luxury. We enjoyed our summer at Esuri too – back again next weekend – can’t wait! Sharon
I’m so jealous! Next visit seems some time off for us! I’m trying to earn enough good behaviour points for a golf weekend – better get back to the washing-up! Have a great trip next weekend. Mark
