Pros:

Spacious well furnished and equipped apartment. Great location with short walk to supermarket, pubs, restaurants and lovely old town. Great beach less than 10 minutes walk.
Well maintained and serviced. Everything clean and in good condition.
Quiet when we were there but enough eating and drinking places within the complex including a bakery and the pools are very nice and monitored by a member of staff.

Cons:

Balcony was a bit of a disappointment. It was narrow and faced onto the street with a school opposite. It wasn't noisy and would have a great west facing view. Unfortunately it has a solid stone waist high wall which obscures the view l. All but 4 of the apartments have deeper balconies with rails. Booking.coms description had led us to expect a view across the pool. We raised this with reception but they explained that it had been inaccurately described by Booking.com.
Complex welcomes pets. Not a good idea with a barking dog as sounds travel in this type of construction. Also a problem when an English couple who were enjoying a drink overlooking the pool allowed their dog to defecate in the grass play area poolside.

Pros:

Location, apartment while basic was really clean with full facilities. Plenty of extra towels and blankets. Staff really friendly both in the office and throughout the complex.

Cons:

Nothing, maybe a bit of a touch up, some of the facilities while adequate a bit dated.

Good but double check if any are private as you have to pay for sunbeds
Pros:

Close to all amenities

Cons:

We booked 3 apartments on booking.com didn’t show that one was a private apartment so you had to pay for sunbeds - very unfair
