I booked and paid for a 10 night stay in a 1 bed apartment for 2 people here for my husband and I on the spur of moment. I then read the reviews on the hotel booking sites and was absolutely dreading it. The reviews I read were mostly negative and commenting on the lack of cleaning etc. I then decided to make the most of our holiday and decided I would take my own cleaning products and equipment and resigned myself to a few hours of cleaning. On our arrival, we were allocated an apartment on the ground floor approximately 20 steps away from the pool. On entering, we were both pleasantly surprised. The apartment was very spacious with a large bathroom with separate bath and shower and twin vanity sinks; large entrance hall; separate toilet; large living area with kitchen and dining area and a lounge area as well as a spacious bedroom and furnished outdoor terrace. There was a tv and air con unit in the lounge and bedroom. The kitchen was adequately equipped for 4 people. The only complaint really was that the floors hadn't been mopped properly for what appeared to be a consideeable period of time. However, having bought my mop, it took me around an hour to mop to my standard which meant I could happily walk around the apartment barefoot. The apartment was quite dated but more than adequate and in a good state of repair. We found the pool to have plenty of sunbeds whatever time of day we went and there were a few umbrellas, however we took our portable beach umbrella so it wasnt an issue for us. There was always plenty of car park spaces available but not always right next to our accommodation but this did not inconvenience us in any way. The residence is not really within walking distance to anywhere so a car is necessary if you want to get out and about. There are 3 large commercial areas about a 5 minute drive away with a variety of shops and restaurants. The residence is very quiet and with the added bonus of manual and electric shutters, any light can be totally blocked out and as such, we had the best 10 nights sleep in a long while. The staff we encountered were all pleasant and helpful, especially the man on reception who dealt with a wasp issue we had. All in all we had a lovely holiday and are looking to return next year albeit with a mop.

“Nice, but place for improvement”

A good starting point for trips to the area, very pleasant surroundings. it can be seen that it is slightly less well maintained Good: good location, good reception staff, nice and clean pool, spacious room. Not good: poorly cleaned, very poor Wi-Fi
