Our overall experience was good, the reception staff were fantastic and gave helpful information. Cleaning was a little lacking and we would have found it useful to have a set of tongs in the kitchen a scrubbing brush for dishes and possibly a couple of face cloths which we ended up buying.
We had a lovely stay though so just a few minor tweaks

After hours check-in was easy and staff were courteous. Our room unfortunately wasn’t very clean and maybe a better dishwasher detergent should be provided so kitchen pots, pans etc are cleaned properly. ( we went out and bought electric frypan, kettle and a decent detergent. Washing machine was full of mould, so that needed cleaning before using.
I would suggest a certain standard of furniture to be maintained for the rooms that are

We loved our 3 night stay in 3 bedroom apartment. There was lots of room and beautiful views from the two balconies. The pool was a decent size and the spa was hot. Walking distance to many food options and beach is just across the road. Great value too. Will definitely stay again.
