    El Coloso Apartments

    Benalmádena

    Accessible for some

    4

    Date of visit: October 2017

    I have experience of challenges around: moving around

    The view from our balcony. We were in the block which was only five stories high. The other block is much higher but there is a lift to the access road.

    Good

    I booked this apartment online. I don't need a completely accessible apartment as I can stand for short periods and walk short distances. The complex is reached from the main coast road by a short but steep access road. There is a code to open the gate. An electronic key will unlock the door to the building but someone has to open it as it doesn't open electronically. There is a lift with a very low step in front of the doors - I estimate around 2cm. The bathroom is not accessible. My husband had to push me up the steep access road at least once a day for a week. He is very fit but it was still a strain.

    Only the very low 'step' in front of each lift.

    We didn't have a car. There is private parking onsite. I don't know how many disabled spaces there are but there seems to be plenty of space.

    Excellent

    The couple who were our contacts were very helpful. I did not need to contact them re access issues.

    Additional Information

    I would recommend this complex if you can walk even a little but avoid if steep hills are a problem.
