Tercia-SA Tourist Guide
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What an amazing stay at Desert Sands Boutique Apartments! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles by the friendly reception staff.

The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, quiet, and offered the privacy we were looking for. Its central location made it easy to explore everything nearby, and the views were beautiful.

A special thank you to the breakfast team for going above and beyond by providing room service for us. Your kindness, helpfulness, and excellent service made our stay even more memorable.

The bed was incredibly comfortable—I slept like a baby! Breakfast was delicious, especially the freshly prepared omelette and warm, freshly baked rolls.

Every moment of our stay was enjoyable, and we highly recommend Desert Sands Boutique Apartments to anyone looking for exceptional hospitality, comfort, and a fantastic location. We will definitely be back!

Cons:

None

The stay was very comfortable and we would stay there again.
Pros:

It was walking distance from the shops.

Cons:

There is no broom or cleaning supplies except for dishwashing liquid in the apartment. The bin is very small and not sufficient.

Value for money at a good location.
Pros:

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is great.

Cons:

It was extremely hot when I visited. There is an aircon in the sitting area but nothing in the bedroom. A fan for such hot evenings will be great. One cannot open the bedroom windows as they open onto the outside passage, which is not ideal for privacy.
