Disappointed especially with ANTS everywhere!
Pros:

Was nicely kept gardens…

Cons:

ANTS!!!!! Absolutely ruined my stay! I checked out early! There were ants all over the balcony, lounge, kitchen side bar, bathroom and got into my luggage and bed as kids slept! I was so disappointed in the balcony as things from the palm tree fell over everywhere so couldn’t even enjoy breakfast or anything on the balcony!
Also expected more maintenance for ants and according to booking we were meant to have 2 bedrooms but only got twin beds, and superior doesn’t mean superior in any way as we got ground floor instead of top sea views. Was very disappointed in reception staff were virtually nonexistent and even on checkout no one bothered to ask why i was checking out early or how my stay was! Just said oh you booked until tomorrow due to checkout. Was very upset. I have videos of ants everywhere and would like to have some compensation, but won’t hold my breath. This place has huge potential to be amazing. Pools were over crowded everyone on top of each other!

Fijne plek, direct aan het strand!
Pros:

Heel fijn appartement, met uitzicht op zwembad en zee. Veel faciliteiten die bij de prijs in zitten en alles op loopafstand. Bovendien zeer vriendelijke receptie. We zijn uiteindelijk twee nachten langer gebleven.

Cons:

Bij het grote zwembad zijn er altijd weer mensen die hun handdoek neerleggen om stoelen te reserveren. Ondanks duidelijke borden dat dit verboden is, wordt er niets van gezegd.
