    Nothing much

    The property is very run down with no WiFi in rooms or ceiling light (strange) only lamps they never came to change the sheets or clean the apartment in 8 days

    The apartment was clean and spacious with 2 full bathrooms which was great as there's 5 of us. The location is good, a 5 minute walk from the strip and 15 minutes to a lovely beach. 5 minutes from the bus stop, and 2 minutes from a little Spar supermarket for all the essentials. The reception is 24 hours which is really good as we had a flight delay then it took nearly a hour for passport control so we arrived at 1am. The cleaners come in daily and emptied all the bins, topped up toilet rolls etc. I was really worried about the apartments after reading the reviews, but I can honestly say it was a great stay and very good value. We travel alot with our children and try and keep to a budget so we can take extra trips. Theae apartments where perfect and just what we needed / Expected. It's not a 5 star, if you want luxury, pay for it. If you want somewhere as a base which is clean and tidy and a great price, this is the place.

    The kitchen wasn't greatly equipped but we managed with what there was for breakfast and some lunches as we are out dinner time.

    Staff were very hospitable! Rooms were nice for the value !

    I didn't like how most fire exits were blocked and only elevator to get to room .need a stair case !

    1LindaPosted on: 10-10-2024

    We stayed 2 nights before moving to a villa. Would never return!

    Very outdated and battered. Extremely noisy with people around you definitely not for families!

    3KeithPosted on: 10-8-2024

    4MaryPosted on: 10-2-2024

    Wasn’t happy things weren’t working then had to be moved to another room which wasn’t much better

    Could have been better

    3StuartPosted on: 9-30-2024

    The staff on reception where helpful and friendly. We checked in late and had lost our baggage at reclaim. The receptionist helped source me a phone charger.

    The apartment could of done with some up dating and there was some dodgy electric wiring in the place. The noise from other guests was un acceptable and took ages to deal with. This would start around 2 am and go onto 5 am. The hotel did say good bye to the noisy guests after 2 nights and peace returned. The pool bar is also expensive for what's on offer and the pool toilets had been vandalized and had no paper.

    1MichaelPosted on: 9-27-2024

    Location was good.

    Room not cleaned once in 10 days I was there, had to go to reception every day to get towels. Was no hot water for shower 2 days in a row. Staff on reception, specifically Carlos was extremely rude numerous times.

    6FrancescaPosted on: 9-27-2024

    Value for money ok for a few nights away solo / friends

    Not enough sockets in the room a bit dated Pools not the cleanest

    1JohnPosted on: 9-25-2024

    Good location

    Was very dated, was crack in balcony glass door, the toilet when flushed sounded like waterfall and went on for hours, the front door didn’t fully close while it locked didn’t feel very secure, was very very loud herd everything, about 2am music was started not sure if above are below. But went on to after 5am, so no sleep was possible, tried ring reception but didn’t ring out on phone

    1AldonaPosted on: 9-22-2024

    It has a swimming pool,

    Very dirty, towels weren’t changed we had to go reception to ask and even then they were complaining about giving us towels. No one cleaned the room during our stay. Staff were rude, while we were checking in I paid for the hotel through booking.com and the receptionist started getting aggressive and was swearing in Portuguese under her breath. The beds were uncomfortable and dirty. The safe did not work in the room. Overall it was a nasty, dirty experience, it was definitely not a 3 star hotel, wouldn’t give it higher than 1 start.

    1RyanPosted on: 9-21-2024

    Absolutely nothing the place was rotten , the cleaners were pushing new fresh bed sheets about in shopping trolllies , the beds were like sleeping on blocks of ice , never again would I visit this property

    Everything the pool was stinking and the rooms had cockroaches in them none of the plugs worked

    This is not a five star hotel. it is cheap accomodation that has everything you need which is reflected in the competitive pricing. The staff were lovely and gave us an upgrade. The accomodation was so spacious and a good convenient location. We couldn't fault it.

    You could hear people walking in the rooms above but to be expected.
