Helen's 11 boutique

Good location, only 10 min drive from the main town (too long to walk!). Everything is nearby, from a beach to the bus stop to the shops. Compared to other places on the island good for the price. Has a fridge, sandwich maker and coffee machine and some essentials (but no coffee given). Has a nice patio and outdoor balcony that has a beautiful sea view. There is parking but unfortunately the one at the top has a large ridge on one side and significantly damaged our car, so we would prefer the parking down in front of the villas even though they get very busy and used up often. Generally fit for purpose, to go and shower and sleep and then see the whole island!

They are supposed to clean the room every two days but they didn’t change any sheets or towels although promised. We then had to ask for new towels on day 3 (after several showers!) and specified that we would like a new bathroom towel and they ignored this request. The cleaners kept leaving the big window open even if the room was left locked with our belongings inside. Further, we had booked a room with two beds and specifically asked for both beds in the room to be made up (as we are not partners and did not want to share beds and specifically booked for this) - they did not fully make the second bed and did not provide a sheet to sleep with. When I asked for a sheet the next day it was finally given, and when they came to finally clean they took it away and left us with one sheet again (whilst leaving us with the old sheet only!) This meant we had to share the bed and the single sheet at night. I still don’t understand why they took the second sheet!! But it felt like they are not very generous with their linens or towels. They also don’t have beach towels. No coffee given even though coffee machine available. The door handle which is required to open and lock the door (as you have to pull it) was loose and broken and they said they were planning to fix it the day before we left but that was forgotten. The shower and toilet roll holder are loose and everything when touched swings round so the shower head will wet the bathroom if you put it on the holder and you have to hold it by hand to shower. In general, most things in the room were quite old, could do with a modernising. Parking could be difficult at times but in general manageable

Nice layout and view. Good space.

15 minutes away from nearest beach. Communication was okay before arrival but not been told that there was no reception or staff on check in. I expected a message or call about check in but I had to ask the set up of another resident who called the management and key was on the door.

Location was good, staff were amazing, nice views too

Spacious room, comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen and nice view.

Three basic things are missing: 1. Blinders: The room is very bright since early in the morning 2. Window screen (net for insects): As a result you cannot enjoy the island's fresh air and you have to use the a/c 3. Steady pressure in the shower: the pressure and temperature of the water were constantly changing Overall, the room was good, but too expensive for what it offered.
