Much better than expected! Stayed with a friend as our Wowcher Mystery Holiday mid-May, in a ground floor studio apartment. I had looked it up and was not sure what it would be like as there was a couple of negative reviews on here and some not very flattering photos, so it’s not somewhere I would have chosen if I’d seen it online but we actually really liked it once we got there! Cons: - No A/C… BUT, the ground floor room with tiled floor meant that the room was not unbearably hot, despite it being 30 degrees outside while we were there. - A couple of minor housekeeping issues, but these were very quickly resolved by the staff who were really helpful: tv remote did not work (was immediately replaced within minutes), shower head was faulty - immediately replaced it with new one. - Shower had a couple of issues that weren’t fixable immediately so I did not bother reporting them to the staff: the holder on the wall that you sit the shower head in was not suitable for the new shower head. One evening there was absolutely rubbish water pressure, literally was a dribble… maybe lots of people were using water at the same time? This only happened to us once, the rest of the time the shower was lovely. - No toiletries like shower gel etc… Was kind of hoping there would be as we had to pack very light! Even if they did just enough to last you the first day until you found a supermarket it would be really helpful. - Tiny Towels, even tinier pillows, and only one pillow each! - The furniture and the kitchen/bathroom are very dated, but it just looks like rustic European style to me and it is all perfectly functional. - Bar is cash only (Lots of places are cash only around the area so make sure you get cash out - apparently the bank charges for card machines are very high here, so lots of places just don’t have them!) Pro’s: - Blissfully quiet hotel but still has things you need nearby like mini supermarket, ATM cafe/restaurants etc within walking distance. - Generous sized rooms - Little patio with table and chairs - Double doors out to the patio - Well equipped studio, with TV, fridge, hob, kettle, microwave, utensils etc. - Lovely pool (which is not heated by the way) with sun loungers and outdoor shower - Very helpful staff - On-site parking - Beachside restaurants with lovely views about 5-10 mins drive away. (We particularly liked ‘O Golfinho’ for its lovely food and cocktails with friendly staff and a stunning view.) - Lots of Uber drivers in the area, e.g. 5 min wait for pickup, only €4 to go to the beachside restaurant. Way more convenient than booking a taxi! - If you want to explore there are lots of nice places along the coast within half an hour’s drive. - Very nice local beach Overall we would definitely recommend this place, we liked it a lot.
