    No hot water - we did tell them and they said someone would come take a look but nothing happened.

    Great location. Nice layout of the apartment. Great pool area.

    The apartment needs renovating, painting at least to cover the ingrained dirt. The price is VERY high for the standard of accommodation.

    The location is great. A short walk to the old town. There are some sea views.

    We didn’t have any outdoor furniture which was a shame when the weather was perfect to sit outside to eat and drink. The kitchen lacked a chopping board and decent glasses. I couldn’t get the microwave to work. The location is up a very steep hill and has lots of steps.

    The apartment had been refurbished to a modern clean look.

    The property is literally at the top of a massive hill. It is a canter down to the old town however it is a shift to get back up to the property. Best to avoid here if you have any mobility issues. My wife and I are both fit and found it challenging particularly late at night after a few drinks. Taxis/ubers can take you right to the top but the old town is difficult to source a taxi. My wife and I arrived at 11am however were told our room would not be ready till 4:30pm. A but frustrating as I enquired about early check in and never heard back. Room was ready for 3:30pm and we were able to use the pool in the meantime so not really a big deal. The property appears to have longer term tenants as it is a huge site. My wife and I were on a landing with a family who seemed to let their kids run amok, screaming in the landing very late at night, banging doors, getting food all over the banisters in the stair well and chapping residents doors. Our neighbours also found it a good time in the early hours to hoover and mop the floor landing. A bit frustrating but really did enjoy my stay.

    The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The bed are comfy and the air con was good. The pool area with the bar and restaurant right next to it was fantastic. It is only a ten minute walk down to the heart of the old town with lots of bars and restaurants along the way. Its about an hour on foot from the strip however an uber takes about 7 minutes and was only about €5. Very good value for money.

    Could have done with more towels in the room and bigger towels . No shop on site which I think is needed as there's only a pool bar open certain hours

    Our room had a terrace with a big tree in front of it so we never got any sunlight on it. Terrace looked a bit run down with old chairs and tables.

    Great pool with cafe / bar serving drinks and cocktails. Pools were a great size with lots of sun loungers and parasols. Room was good size, it was clean and modern. Can't expect 5* for the price, for what we paid it was great.

    Very dated interior, no sponge/brush to wash up, no toaster, no aircon, no fan, no colander to rinse salad etc for food, no dish drainer so not that well equipped for sale catering but we ate out pretty much every meal anyway. No room service during the 7 night stay. Pillows were just stuffed full of loose foam. Bath was stained.

    Nice big room with a very big balcony, decent sized bathroom n shower, was clean, decent shower. kitchen has just enough to get by. Staff were friendly, great views and a clean area to look around. Late checkout at 11am , pool area was fantastic, big, plenty of space, good selection of bar drinks but didn't actually eat there.

    All the steps to the appartment blocks in the c 10 plus d 10 _d12 area And of course the fact I'd No wifi available in my appartment lucky I had some at the pool area tho

    The location was great , not far from the beach, and old town .I discovered we were just a short walking distance to the marina also ,, it was the 2nd time we stayed here , the 1st time we had a lovely appartment in block A, the only thing I didnt like this time round was how far away my appartment was situated away from the pool. All the steps once u leave your appartment you would want to be quiet fit not suffering with a bad leg or ankle for those steps ahead of u ,, we made sure once we left the apartment there was no turning back with the 100s of steps involved . THE POOL AREA WAS SUPERB WITH A LOVELY VIEW OF THE SEA . Looking forward to seen what improvements they make b4 our stay next year .
