The pool area was very nice. The breakfast included was some of the best, considering that it was included. I found access to a good beach and restaurant nearby. The room had a quiet air conditioner , it kept the space quite cool.
Cleaning staff only came twice . It was a seven-night stay. When they did come, it was 4 pm. This time was not ideal because I typically left the hotel at 9 am and returned around 3 pm for a rest and a shower.

the apartment size suited me fine for a few nights. i liked the balcony, it had everything i needed. finding the place was easy and the town centre was within walking distance.
the breakfast arrangement was a bit of a challenge. i had to set a specific time beforehand. the breakfast itself was quite basic for the price i paid, but this was not a big problem.

the breakfast had good variety. i appreciated the parking available right in front of the building. our room, a standard one-bedroom apartment, felt spacious (it suited our needs quite well).
the cleaning staff only visited twice of seven nights. when they did come, it was around 4 pm. fresh towels were difficult to obtain. the shower gel dispenser was empty upon arrival (i had to ask for it to be refilled).

the breakfast had a good selection of food and drinks, i found it quite good value for money.
The walls were too thin, i could hear everything my neighbors did, even when they went to the bathroom. It was a nightmare for getting any sleep and really disruptive.
