helpful staff convenient location huge apartment

The staff were nice and always ready to help. The apartment included everything needed, such as a fridge, microwave, coffee machine, and cutlery. My room was ready early. The apartment was also huge and very close to everything, a huge plus.

The noise at night was a bit of a problem. It seemed to be mostly from groups of young tourists on the balconies. Poolside toilets need better maintenance. Locks did not work correctly.
