We are a family of three and there was a lot of space for us in the apartment. The bathroom and kitchen were not very big, but sufficient for daily routines and cooking. Also, both were very modern and nicely designed. The kitchen was extraordinarily well equipped with everything we needed and more: all the basics were there - had we known that, we wouldn't have brought spices/oil/pasta/flour/sugar/etc.
Generally, the equipment of the flat was good - second fridge and freezer for drinks in the livingroom, towels, pillows, bedsheets and blankets, washing powder, washing machine, beach equipment etc. - so we didn't have to buy many things to feel at home. The toilet was in a seperate room and could use a modernisation - we think - but still served its purpose well enough. Also, the furniture seemed a bit out of date and simple (couch and beds not very comfortable), some chairs/shelves were not very stable and the table in the livingroom had a lot of irremovable stains from glasses/bottles. During our stay it got very hot in the apartment and there was but one small fan. There were no ceiling fans (contrary to what the information on the website said): one ceiling fan in the childrens' room was not functional, the other rooms didn't have any. That made for some sleepless hours at night. Maybe air-conditioning would be a good idea...
But those details were not of big importance to us, after all.
For us, the view and sound of the sea right in front of us was priceless! Especially in the mornings and evenings - when the beach was less crowded (it really got crowded during daytime) - we enjoyed eating breakfast/having barbecues on the balcony. We also liked that we could walk to the beach right through the residence's gate without any cars on the street (pedestrian area) and walk to the shops (5min) or into town (15min). We even had longer walks to some sights like the volcano beach (Conque), for you could walk all the way along the beach - we loved that! The residence as a whole felt safe, as it was gated and most of the tourists were families.
To conclude: We really had a great beach-holiday here!
