Apt. Frente a la playa con impresionantes vistas al mar / dunas-Primera línea del paseo marítimo de la playa-Lugar tranquilo

You are likely to have more space for sunbathing than at other properties as there are only about 20 apartments, often empty. I don't understand the point you make about privacy. Your balcony is private, but obviously when you sunbathe around the pool, you are sharing a space with others, as in all shared complexes. The balcony is large enough to use for sunbathing. Its size is clear from the photos. Note the review from another website: "Good size balcony off the living room, both having great view of the dunes." (Jane, April 2017). It is large enough for a sun bed, a dining table and chairs to be used at the same time. Your next complaint is about the sun. The apartment is south facing, so generally has some sunshine on the balcony, but how much depends on the time of the year - of course in the summer the sun is higher in the sky. The photos show the layout and size of the apartment. Since you stayed, the apartment has been completely upgraded, with a large L shaped corner sofa bed and armchair replacing the previous sofa bed and armchair, a large curved smart screen TV with the ability to watch Netflix, Amazon TV etc. The kitchen has consistently been highly rated by other guests as has the standard of cleaning. I refer you to the other reviews on the website where 90% of bookings have been made, where 66 of 69 reviewers state that they recommend the property and would stay again. The property is advertised as having a bathroom, not a bath. The shower area is larger than average. No one else has complained about any odours in the bathroom and I have never detected any. We gave a lot of thought to the choice of mattress. You state you are used to memory foam, but we have to take account of the fact that memory foam is not tolerated by many people, and it is well known as being uncomfortably hot, which is not suitable for a hot country. Ultimately, the best guide for anyone considering the accuracy of your review is to consider it against the reviews on my primary booking website where 66 of 69 reviews are positive (I also note that 4 out of 5 are positive on Owners Direct): "The level of equipment and furnishing within the apartment is of a higher quality than most other rental apartments I have used in Playa Del Ingles (I visit on average 3 times per year)...The owners (and those who look after the apartment locally) are to be commended for presenting such a nice option for a holiday." (Ken, May 2017)

Merci Gladys!

Merci Fabrice! Je l'ai traduit pour les autres qui parlent anglais:- "The accommodation is ideally located on the 1st line to the sea and close to shops and restaurants. From the terrace, it is possible to enjoy the dunes of Maspalomas sipping an aperitif with tapas. The accommodation is well equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The bedding is of very good quality for a complete rest."

Dear Linda, We are very pleased you found the apartment suited your needs so well and very much hope you can return for another stay soon. As mentioned during the booking process, here is the live booking website for the best price and most straightforward way to book your next holiday. www.spanishdreams.co.uk best wishes and thanks for the lovely review.
