clean apartment excellent location tidy pools
The apartment had all appliances required for a comfortable stay. The cleanliness was really good. The pools was well kept. The location offers easy access to the beach and seafront.
The shop on site had higher prices than other local shops. I think the hotel could have offered the possibility to buy groceries at the reception.

depressing interior see-through curtains
the location was acceptable, close to the promenade and the beach.
The room wasn't great. The interior looked depressing, and there wasn't much light. i could hear the neighbors talking. It was noisy in the mornings. the curtains were also see-through, letting in too much light.

the room smelled like sewage when the air conditioning was on, i was very disappointed. we also encountered large cockroaches in our studio apartment. our room required us to navigate stairs with luggage and a stroller. i feel these issues significantly detracted from what could have been a more enjoyable visit.
