It would have been nice to know that the entire roof of the unit had water damage and was mid way through being repaired. The painting/picture on the wall also had sticky tape inside it which was holding something on. The first we knew about the roof was a laminated half page note inside the room. I find it difficult to believe that this room was rented out in the condition it was in and we were expected to pay full price. I would have thought letting the client know upon check in that there were some repairs going on and offering a discount due its current state would have made a huge difference as the facts are YOUR client certainly did not get the room that was advertised and expected. Additionally the curtains were full of dust and sorry for bluntness - so out dated - when we pulled them across you could see the dirt in the white curtains. All in all - this 'resort' property which you have advertised with photos of the rooms and people suggesting it was a 10/10 rating was far from what we had expectation and the amount we paid. Very disappointing. This property is not one I would recommend to family and friends.

The property is currently very very hard to access because of road work on the M1. The beach is nice but not swimmable. Getting to other areas means quite a drive back and forth. Again the road work makes this a bit of a chore. The room itself was clean and well supplied. The web site said room service, but in effect this was once every 8 nights I believe, so a bit misleading.

Fabulous location for a peaceful break….30 metres from the beach. The apartment was spotlessly clean and so well appointed. The managers had thought of everything. Only problem is that a car is needed to access shops. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.
