Arrival

It is important that you send your arrival and departure times to our contact person at La Joya, Sarah at Coast Cleaners, no later than one week before you travel to Spain. The code to the keybox will be recived about 7 days before departure.

Different locks/Keys

NB! The key to the front door must always be turned all the way around to be properly locked. You should do this both day and night, whether you are in the apartment or not.

NB! The door to the terrace is also a snap lock, so be careful, there is no key on the outside.

An extra set of keys to the apartment and pool can be found in the cupboard above the microwave in the kitchen.

Key box outside main car-gate

NB: Read this section carefully.

A key box has been installed outside the main gate to La Joya, which exclusively belongs to the apartment in La Joya C-3A. The box is located to the left of the main gate, see photos:

The box  is opened by pressing hard on the code buttons and then turning the steering wheel clockwise 180 degrees. 

The box is closed/locked by turning the steering wheel at the top counter clockwise 180 degrees.

In the keybox there are four keys:

1. Key to the apartment, the main door
2. Key to the patio-gate outside main door
3. Key to the main gate / car gate
4. Key to the side-doors in the main gate and all gates around the urbanization

All four keys are attached to a key-chain and must not be removed from it.
The keys should be kept inside the apartment during your stay and placed back in the key box upon departure.
Please check that all four keys are inside the key box when you leave.

There is limited space inside the key box, so follow these steps to ensure a proper fit:

1. Close the inner plastic lid first, then place the keys inside.
2. If the keys don’t fit easily, rearrange them slightly to make room.
3. Verify that the box is properly locked! If the keys aren’t positioned correctly, the lid won’t close fully, preventing the box from locking.
4. Before leaving, check that the key box lid is completely secure and correctly locked to avoid any issues.

NB: If, for any reason, you are unable to place the keys inside the key box, please return to the apartment and leave the keys in the hallway. Simply close the front door behind you.
In such a case, it may be helpful to know that the small right-side door in the car-gate (when viewed from the inside) next to the stone wall can be opened by pressing a white switch on the same wall, a couple of meters inside the door.

If you have a car and experience issues with the electric car gate door due to a power outage or any other reason, the door can be opened manually by pulling out the handle inside the small box located in the middle of the garage car gate. The gate can then be slid open by hand.

For any issues, please notify Coast Cleaners (Sarah & Paul) immediately at (+34) 711 00 87 65.

Transport

There are four different ways to get from the airport to the apartment:

The easiest way to get to the apartment is undoubtedly by taxi or rental car.

During your stay

• Respect the rules of order in the area (See information on Inside)
• Always lock the front door both when you are at home or away. Remember to turn the key, only then is the door properly locked
• NB! Always lock the sliding doors at night, and when you leave the apartment during the day. Remember to push in the locking pins
• Make sure the the doors to the patio and the utility room is locked
• Turn off the AC system and all the lights when you are not in the apartment
• The main tap for the water is in the utility room, just outside the kitchen.
• The blackout curtains (blinds) must always be down at night and when the apartment is empty at day
• NB! Make sure that there is no chair or other object next to the sliding doors on the outside of the terrace when lowering the blinds. This will prevent blackout curtains from going down naturally and damaging them
• The awnings should always be rolled in when it is blowing, at night or when leaving the apartment
• Children must not play with the motorized blinds or awnings

The beach

A beautiful sandy beach is just a 3–4 minute walk from the complex, best accessed via the gate between blocks C and D. Despite its proximity to the road, the beach remains quiet due to the elevation. It features a full-service restaurant and a lifeguard on duty. A cliff north of the beach blocks direct access to Fuengirola, but an underpass further north allows continued shoreline access. You can reach it by walking or taking the small train to its final stop.

Groceries and shopping centers

Between La Joya and Fuengirola, you’ll find the MiraMar shopping center, which offers a wide range of stores and restaurants. Walking there takes about 30 minutes, and you can follow a quieter residential route that avoids the busy main road—though the terrain has some gentle inclines and declines. 

Additionally, just outside Marbella, the La Cañada shopping center is a popular destination for those looking to shop. If you don’t have a car, a bus service provides easy access to this area.

There are several shops and kiosks selling food nearby.

The nearest minimarket to La Joya is "Zac`s First Avenue" in the main Wyndham reception building just up the hill north-west of La Joya. This market is open all week from 08:00 to 20:00.

A new small "Supermarket" has opened in El Faro. This is open every day, all week from 09:00 to 22:00. Fresh bakery available every morning.

The nearest major shopping center, Miramar, is located between La Joya and Fuengirola.

See the maps in the photo album.

Restaurants

Just above La Joya there are two great restaurants serving both indoors and outdoors. The restaurants are surrounded by beautiful parks and there is live music every night. There are also several other restaurants in the Wyndham`s area that are worth visiting.

In addition to the restaurant down on the seafront (just below the apartment), there is a great restaurant (and a few smaller restaurants) in the urbanization of El Faro.
