Wonderful hospitality, an amazing beachside location and a beautifully peaceful stay. I took the pictures in the afterno
Pros:

The host was absolutely wonderful and incredibly kind. I booked very last minute, around midnight, and despite arriving extremely late, she accepted my booking and waited outside for me at around 2am early morning. because I was having trouble finding the apartment. I really didn’t expect that level of kindness and hospitality, and I’m extremely grateful to her.

The location is fantastic — you simply walk down the stairs from the apartment and you are basically on the beach. I visited in mid-September and it was beautifully peaceful and relaxing. There is a supermarket about a minute walking distance, as well as a restaurant nearby. The apartment has everything you need, including a kitchen and fridge, so it’s easy to prepare your own breakfast or meals.

I especially loved the rooftop terrace. As it was outside the main season, I practically had the whole terrace to myself, which was amazing. The area is residential on motorway but you could hardly hear any cars or bus during the nights. I slept extremely well. The beach is spread around motorway all around the island but I have to say that at night I could not hear any cars or buss. The cars and buses start running around 7am till late. So yes you can hear it to your room because the beach is on main road like everywhere on island
If you are looking for somewhere peaceful, relaxing and away from nightlife and parties, I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you so much again to the lovely host for making my stay so welcoming.

Cons:

There was honestly nothing that negatively affected my stay. The apartment is close to the main coastal road, so you can hear some traffic during the daytime, including from the beach, but at night it became very quiet and I slept very well. As I visited outside the main season, there were also fewer cafés and restaurants open nearby, although the supermarket and a restaurant were still within a very short walk

Could have been better with small changes.
Pros:

The staff were all very nice and friendly and helpful. Excellent location, walking distance to beach (zig zag path down the cliff) and restaurants, pier etc. 2 mins walk to bus stop with busses in every direction including late night service. Nice size room with big windows and chairs, lift, etc. big ASDA 2 mins drive away. Cleanliness was good, the cleaners were very thorough and friendly. We got parking on all days on the hotel premises. Quiet location but close to everything.

Cons:

Very dated, the carpet looked like it was 100 years old, vaccummed but full of stains everywhere, and very rough. There was a drain smell in the bathroom constantly, the cleaners finally left a bottle of febreeze for us in the room for the duration of our stay. It was room 241, the Patrick Swazy one. The mattress was ok. the chairs were also very old. The room was stuffy but fan was provided. The breakfast was usual Toast, eggs, beans, hash brown, bacon sausages, but the quality of ingredients was very poor. We generally like hash browns but didnt like these. it said vegetarian sausages in the menu but never saw those and didnt ask due to poor quality. there was basic cereal and 1 fruit. Just a little bit of updating could make this hotel very pleasant.
