Great location, great views
We had a great stay and holiday at the apartment. The location and the views from the terrace are fabulous and make booking this unit worthwhile if this is your priority. However, for the price charged we would have expected a better appointed apartment - the bedroom carpet was extremely worn to the point that the pattern had disappeared, items that add to the stay experience were poor or clearly very cheap (kettle, toaster, iron and board etc), the beach umbrella available was no bigger than an umbrella you would use personally on a rainy day, there were no towel or bedding changes undertaken despite being there for nearly three weeks (though there is a washing machine if needed), taps were stiff to use and didn't always shut down fully (in particular the kitchen area sink) and so on.
In addition, the second bedroom is not designed for adults, it is a children's room with a bunk bed arrangement with no adult hanging space available. The person using this second bedroom in our party was an average heigh adult and she couldn't sleep in the lower bed (which is wider than the top bunk) as it wasn't long enough for her to stretch out, she had to sleep diagonally therefore. Equally, if the sofa bed is used, it takes up almost all of the available space in the living room area (as that area is not very large) which means everyone must go to bed when that is set up.
Overall these issues didn't particularly detract from the enjoyment of our stay but we felt that we paid a huge premium for the terrace and views - overall it felt a little that for the sake of a relatively small level of investment, it is, in part, set up as cheap as possible to maximise income. We did look at two other apartments within the block whilst staying and each were so much better appointed and modern.
