Lovely apartment
The apartment is in a lovely area. The pool and grounds are spotlessly clean and well maintained. The beach is less than 5mins walk. The apartment has everything you need for a great holiday. We hired a car and both Lidl & Aldi are a short drive away.

enjoyed our stay at property
The apartment was fairly nice and very well placed in proximity of the pool. It could use a bit of an update but was acceptable to our needs. We stayed for 16 days and cooked most of the time. Overall the kitchen was well stocked just note that two of the four elements on the stove did not work. No one was there to greet us and we had no instructions to get in. Thankfully I had a sim card and was able to call them. Within an hour of us arriving we accidentally got locked out on the balcony. We had to yell at a passerby to go to the office to let them know. So just be aware. Our biggest complaint is that the 5 star hotel across the street had a broken air conditioning unit and it was very noisy. Not comfortable sitting on the balcony and could not leave our windows open at night. We let the owner know and he said nothing could be done, we then let the property manager know and she was going to tell the office. It did not get resolved while we were there. Overall, despite the inconveniences, we did enjoy our stay.
