Not a bad experience. Could be better.
Pros:

I liked the location. That's a favorite among alot of people. The apartment was clean and surroundings.However the host did not respond to any requests I made .I had to go to the front desk for clean towels. You had to book housekeeping services. No one comes as you would expect. Breakfast was ok which was affordable at the restaurant upstairs. On our last day the water was very low. And Ac in the living room kept on turning off. It was very quiet there.

Cons:

No housekeeping. No replenish of clean towels unless asked. Host didn't respond to my messages had to go to the front desk. Ac in living room kept turning off . In the bathroom there was a rusty furniture. You can tell this apartment has been built ages ago as some areas was rusty. Balcony door was difficult to close

The room was nice and cozy worth the value for money with beach and pool facilities were awesome.
Pros:

The apartment was very nice and comfortable. We appreciated the layout of the suite as the bedroom area has door where you can close off from the living area. A nice writing desk is in the bedroom The kitchenette was very useful as we were able to prepare our meals and it had all the items that we needed. The shower was actually larger than expected so that was a plus for us. Overall we had a nice stay. The Silver Sand restaurant on the property provides vegan options that was very good as I was concerned about that. They offer great meal options we just had lunch there.

Cons:

No complaints really. A larger balcony would have been nice but that is something that cannot be changed. More vegan options at the restaurant by the poolside.

Excellent stay would recommend to anyone
Pros:

Great location and able to go out for dinner with no pressure. The place was a decent size, bigger than excepted, nice and clean with towels an hand soap and toilet rolls.

Cons:

Very difficult to lock the front door although the instructions were easy and actually never managed to do it at all. Takes a little while to get hot water an you have to turn the tap all de way.

Exceptional
Pros:

This room was excellent clean and welcoming. Beach access losts of shops my family enjoyed everything. It was very affordable I would 100% recommend this place can't wait to go back!

Cons:

The sofa bed was not in the greatest condition needs to be fixed or replaced was not comfortable. The restaurant has very limited options I would suggest cooking in the unit or going out. The bar by the pool drinks are expensive

Unprofessional- Waste of time!
Pros:

I didn’t get to stay at the property. Despite having an active booking on Booking.com, I was informed when I got to the property that my booking had been cancelled and the property was no longer available

Cons:

I didn’t get to stay at the property. Despite having an active booking on Booking.com, I was informed when I got to the property that my booking had been cancelled and the property was no longer available. I wasn’t informed of any cancellations and the host of the property wasn’t very understanding at all. I ended up finding a last minute booking elsewhere and was very happy

It was good but it could have been better if the apartment was cleaner.
Pros:

I did not utilize the breakfast services. However, the location is perfect in terms of access to outside facilities. Also, the property is pretty quiet so that was great.

Cons:

The room was not as clean as it could be. The staff needs to take more time to ensure this. There was mold and mildew on the lamp shades and the general place was a bit dusty. Appliances and furniture dont necessarily have to be updated but can be better maintained.
