Pros:

La camera è spaziosa, luminosa, pulita e la cucina è ben fornita di tutto il necessario. Il personale è stato pronto a risolvere gli inconvenienti.

Cons:

Per quel prezzo ci si sarebbe aspettati la pulizia della camera giornaliera e il cambio biancheria. Gli ambienti comuni, come la piscina, sono datati e non molto accoglienti.

In all I was impressed with the resort and would not hesitate to go back.
Pros:

Location incredible so much to do in the area. Lots going on at resort and yet not too crowded at the same time. Aparthotel mostly well stocked and comfortable.

Cons:

Room could have had lotion and conditioner. It wouldn't stop me staying there again but doors slammed if you didn't mind them which was tricky for noise for us and neighbours.

Just little niggles, generally very good
Pros:

Very clean, beds very comfortable. Lots of space, large bedrooms.

Cons:

Charged for electricity at 8 Euros a day on top of what was quite a high rate. Not even a sheet of loo paper, how much would it cost to put in at least one roll for arrival. Would have been nice to have a small welcome tray of tea, coffee, milk etc. Not a thing. Also not even T towels supplied and although advertised, at that rate I would have expected towels. Fridge was missing door racks for milk etc. Tumble drier did not work on the washing machine. Tablet slot for dishwasher tablet was broken.

Beautiful place
Pros:

The little house was very cute. Bed and pillows was comfortable. Super clean.
The front desk lady was remarkably helpful and kind.
The location is beautiful.

Cons:

No smart TV. We couldn’t watch Netflix, Prime, etc.
It will be nice if the kitchen is more equipped with the basics, like some dish soap for a few days. Its not worth it to buy a whole jar only to use a little bit. Same with paper towel.
